Character Profiles

In order to get these guys as in character as possible (or at least to have a relatively consistent character all the way through the story and not suddenly change completely), I've started some character profiles, which are shaping out to be very detailed. However, I guess that's a good thing though with Carrington (who is so far the only one whose profile I've finished) I've found I've repeated pretty much the same things again and again. Still, at least those characteristics are for sure now.
Though I found he was getting more and more interesting, which was a good thing. His character is playing off of Fetterman's more than it originally was and he finds he is nigh on obsessed with him, wondering where he is going, making his decisions wondering what he'll say to them, getting paranoid thoughts that he is only doing what he's doing to get at him... He's also kind of enthralled with him because Carrington has been trying to get men on his side for ages without much success and now Fetterman comes along, upsetting his established secure order, and manages to turn all his men against him in a matter of days.
Other interesting events concerning Fetterman showed up to, but these are in the previous story in this Powder River section (which includes the 1865 invasion, the treaties drawn up, the construction of the forts by Carrington around the Powder River country, the story of Fort Phil Kearny, the massacre <- this story, and the Wagon Box Fight the next year). For instance, I found one that really kickstarted the rift between Fetterman and Carrington - two men of Fetterman's company were fighting in front of the women and other Officers (on a Sunday morning no less before the church service) and when they were put under arrest, Fetterman came out and to defend them, also resorted to violence and swearing. Carrington hurries past at this point with his wife and draws up an order later on that Fetterman merely scoffs at. Looking forward to writing this :D
I've just started writing Fetterman's profile, which will probably match the length of Carrington's maybe even more, but I've got to remember to keep writing the actual story too.
