Character #5

The next name we need is for a character anticipated to be played by the handsome and talented Vincent Ventresca.  For this character we are looking for only a first name.  We do already have a name picked out that I’m going to submit for voters to decide upon.  I’ve posted it as the first comment below.  Can you come up with a better name?  

Here’s a short character description:

He’s a parolee who is trying to get over his troubled past.  Ironically, he works for a San Francisco security company where he gets to use the same skills that gave him the reputation as one of, if not, the best safecracker and lock expert in the country.  When a rescue mission goes sour, he accidently discovers an unusual power buried deep within him.

Character #3 (Judging Period)

The Submission Period for Character #3 has now come to a close.  I’ve closed the comments on the thread so no further names will be accepted.  We again beat the number of submissions we had for our previous character with a total of 27 submissions for this round! Way to go!

For the next week the judges will deliberate and choose our favorites.  The finalists will be notified by email that one or more of their entries made it into the final round.  If you don’t receive an email from me, your entry was not chosen.  But there are two more characters to be named, so please keep trying!  I will post the names on the Blog next Monday where everyone will get a chance to vote for their favorite!

Character #2 (Voting Period)

Now starts the Voting Period for Character #2! The Judges discussed the pros and cons of each name and then voted on them. Names were chosen by majority rule, which meant that a minimum of three votes were needed to move the names to the Voting Round.  In this round only one name received four votes.  The rest received three votes.  Congratulations to the four finalists who made it to this round!

Now the naming of this character rests with all of you. It’s out of the Judges’ hands. It’s your decision.  Please take a minute to vote and show your support.
