Pimp That Character

We’re thrilled to be talking to Sam Silvasteen from Thomas Barr Jr's, Notorious P Man Sam: Miami's Urban Chronicles Volume I .  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Sam. Can you tell us your story? What's Up? Thank you for having me. My story is the age old one of overcoming odds in realization of a dream. The dream of escaping poverty, drugs and crime to become a productive member of our beloved society. The tool I focus on in relation to over coming the odds is that of Entrepreneurship. It can be a key to anyone in becoming self sufficient. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features?  I can list that feature as one of persistance. In my story i continue to come up with ideas to get ahead as an entrepreneur. I've sold music and owned a club in order to learn to be a good business man. I'm not afraid to fail in realizing my dream of escaping the circumstances of a ha...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Nalah from Anne Sawyer-Aitch’s Nalah Goes to Mad Mouse City . It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Nalah. How old are you and what do you do for a living? I’m seven. I don’t have to make a living. But my Mom says I make a lot of mischief. Oh, and I make a lot of messes. Well, actually, I don’t make them, the animals do. Tico the Tiger is the worst. But Mad Tooth the Mouse eats one of each kind of sock. And if I didn’t throw peas at Ernestina the Emu, what would she eat? No one believes me though. They think I’m making them up. Because I’m the only one who sees the animals. Where do you go when you are angry? I make a blanket fort and hide in it with my favorite toys. When I bring my flashlight in there, I can do a light show. What makes you laugh out loud? I like to watch Mad Tooth chase Tico around the house. Because even though he’s a tiger, he’s afraid of...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Harric Dimoore, from Stephen Merlino’s The Jack of Souls. It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Harric.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? I turn nineteen in a couple days. But then, that’s all I get. I’m dead. My mother cursed me to die on my nineteenth birthday. I’m not trying to get sympathy, but since you asked, I thought you should know. What do I do for a living? Normally, I tell people I’m exactly what I appear to be: a gentleman bastard, earning his coin playing cards and running a modest trade supplying pioneers passing through on their way to the Free Lands. Normally. Since I’m dead tomorrow, it hardly matters who knows the truth. The truth is I was trained from birth to be a courtier spy in Her Majesty’s service. Why am I here, you ask, and not in court? Long story. Suffice it to say, I refused the service, and won a death curse for ...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Trevor Hadley from Ted Grosch’s, Quantum Level Zero.  It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Trevor.   How old are you and what do you do for a living? I am 34 years old and I was a physicist. Actually, I was a physics grad student for Eli Baracki, you know, the one they called the Angry Afghan? He quit the profession about a year after a suicide bomber killed his family. That’s how he got the nickname. When he left M.I.T., I finished up my doctorate and did my own thing. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? I would say it’s my dark blue eyes. Brown is their natural color. I wear blue contacts and a beard as a disguise because I’m wanted by the Supreme Scientific Counsel and the United Nations Security Force. I did something rash. I discovered a new and powerful energy source. The powers that be wanted it, so I set my lab to self-de...

We’re thrilled to be talking to Kass from David Pennington’s Peer Through Time . It is a pleasure to have him with us today at Pimp That Character! Thank you for your interview, Kass. How old are you and what do you do for a living? Thank you . I’m an adult, but I haven’t existed for very long, so I’m not quite sure how old I am. I make my living as a psychotherapist. Can you tell us about one of your most distinguishable features? I’m a synthetic human. Some people call me a robot, but I don’t think that word encompasses everything I am. I may not be biological, but I am human. What would I love the most about you? I have a genuine interest in the well-being of others—including you, even though we met only moments ago. People seem to appreciate that about me. What would I hate the most about you? I would hope nothing, but I’ve found that some people hate me simply because I was designed rather than born . Without attempting to get to k...
