Characters: What makes them interesting? What is their story or background? Why are you drawn to them? Conversely, are there any characters that you just cannot stand? Why not? Kevin is interesting because he seems to be a very vague character. He is the main character and is the one that has all the centered attention. There is a killer after him, and now I want to know who this killer is and why he is killing people. More importantly, I want to learn why the killer is after kevin and why he is making kevin confess his sins. Jennifer is another interesting character. Jennifer is already affected by the riddle killer and wants to make the killer meet justice. The police force is after him and having jennifer on the team makes the team generally more focused. The riddle killer is the antagonist in this story. He is apparently finding some kind of joy and gets a kick out of the torture he puts people through. He so far has the reputation for not liking copycats or posers and also wants Kevin to confess his sins. There haven't been any characters introduced that aren't likeable in the general idea of a storyline.
