Just what the title says :)

Jacob is a neat character. Build a little on motivations and flaws. physical deformities are great and all but personality flaws are good too. as for a last name, he is from Russian decent so a Russian surname might be good. may I suggest Pavlov.

Thanks,Elijah! I was trying to make him a less "flat" character by making him mostly American,but with a bit of Russian so it wasn't boring. I'm thinking Pavlov,yes,but do you think that Cantrell might be a good name? Jacob Patrick Cantrell?

@poshtopus

I really like that name! just remember that a character's lack of heritage isn't the only thing that makes a character flat be wary of generic motivations and unrealistic personalities.

Something that I like to do if I can't think of any names is looking through old phone books.

Snoizzy idea!

It's extremely helpful, too!
