Re: Characters of mine
I'm most curious about Bob. Since you say he's the boring one.I like the names: Terry (for Terence), and Jack. I could root for them. Roger is OK. I'm a bit suspicious of, or worried for, Maurice and Percy. I already forgot Charles and Alan but I'm sure they're fine.- mirfak

Yeah, Bob is so committed to being dull that it is suspicious.
That'd be consistent with the last story I saw Bob used as a character name in. Everything Bob does is mundane but he puts so much emphasis on how not-weird things are (like, in response to how are you, "Happy. I talked with a normal human being on my way here. They were not on fire while I was talking to them") that the POV character is convinced he's an extremely dangerous alien.
