Thought i'd try something new here. Basically i start with the beginning, then someone adds their bit, then another person continues and so on. Remember this is within the context of the WOTW book (I.E no blasting off to the Moon in a Silver Rocket or anything ), if possible try to keep it serious guys. Btw you can make up anything about his family, friends etc..I'm just giving a brief outline of his character. IntroductionWar of the Worlds: A Prisoner's Tale...[/color][/size] His name is Geoffrey Wayne a Prisoner at HMS Prison at Shepperton. He's serving his last night in prison before becoming a free man, it is dusk and the Sun is setting. He can hear commotion outside of his Prison Cell as the Prison Wardens scramble. All he can hear is a distant rumble which draws ever near. *BOOM BOOM BOOM* when all of a sudden part of his Prison Wall collapses, his bed sheets catch fire. He can hear screams and shouts and the barely audible whistles of the Prison Wardens. He looks out onto the Horizon, where he can see a town on fire, the smokey plumes rising into the sky. His face has a look of horror as he mutters the name "Imogen". To be continued... So guys fill the blanks!

His face has a look of horror as he mutters the name "Imogen". Suddenly, his cellmate, and rubber-clad gimp, Imogen (prisoner no. 37802; Hines, Timothy; serving 10 years for crimes against film-making) appears from within his commode, where the waters had protected him against the mysterious heat. "Master Geoffrey!" cries Imogen/Tim in a pathetic keening wail, which merely serves to provoke a rapid blow from one of Wayne's patent-leather prison winkle-pickers, "What is going on?" "Silence!" snarls Geoffrey, as he sniffs the air, savouring the smell of burning prison guards, "I need to concentrate!" Sending Imogen ahead of him through the blasted rubble of the wall of his cell, Wayne emerges once it becomes clear from Imogen's continued, and only slightly uncalled for, survival that all was, for now, safe. But is it...? To be continued...

Sending Imogen ahead of him through the blasted rubble of the wall of his cell, Wayne emerges once it becomes clear from Imogen's continued, and only slightly uncalled for, survival that all was, for now, safe. But is it...? To be continued...Not quite the tone i was expecting but i'll go along with it lol ...Geoffrey Wayne rolls up his sleeve, revealing a Red Heart Tattoo with an arrow through it, with distinct lettering underneath.."Imogen". Timothy notices as his eyes widen, "surely that body paint doesn't allude to me?" Geoffrey looks down then scowls "of course not, that dear friend is my wife, who i intend on finding in this wretched mess!". "Still one can only hope" exclaims Timothy, "so Timothy, what offence did you commit to earn your place in HMS's Prison, besides crimes against film making?" asks Geoffrey candidly. "Well...." Timothy takes a deep breath before continuing "...it seems it is an offence for a man to dress up, shall we say rather feminine, of course being a loud drunkard on the street will not earn any favour with the Magistrate, i feel that my wrong doing in film making has cost me dearly old chap". "I can see that" replies Geoffrey as the two men wade their way through the longrass, where they finally happen upon a railroad. "If only i can work out the bearing, we should be able to follow this railtrack to some village or town" Geoffrey points out. Just as Timothy was about to open his mouth a loud whistling is heard, the distinct sound of a Locomotion is heard as it races along the track. The two men look on in wonder as both Geoffrey and Timothy say "What the devil?!" then a loud 'ULLA' sound is heard, very 'un-Earth like' and definitely something not of this Earth. "Get down!" shouts Geoffrey as grabs Timothy, the two men fall to the ground, covered by the longrass when a burst of heat hits the speeding train and its carriages, some the carriages hurtle off the tracks while other explode in a ball of flame, Geoffrey with his keen eye sight is able to make out the distinct Blue Train with the name 'Mc Todd Rides Again'. The train with only a minor scorch mark speeds away with only a few carriages in town which are in flames. To be continued....
