Whooooooooo are you? Who, who . . .who who?

In the hope of not stepping on toes, I (Mike) have a suggestion. We need to know each other. By "we" I mean the writers, and by "each other" I mean everyone else's character. I don't know if everyone else is planning to base their person on themselves. I am not (at least, not fully). So, I thought it might work if we all share a sort of character sheet (no, I've never played Dungeons and Dragons). And, since this is my idea, I'll start.

Character Name: James Browning

Job: Writer, 4 published novels (here is where he is not me :P)

Eye-name: Pensmith

Family Status: Single, no kids, 1 elderly Irish Setter named Finbar

Location: Nebraska (medium-sized college town)

How Introduced: (Sort of the intro scene)
Sitting in a book lined room, laptop on a desk next to a coffee cup, dog on top of feet. Types on a word processor for a bit, hits a snag, deletes everything, goes online to check Eye and email. Gets email from ___________________ about death.

I'm suggesting we all do this for one simple reason: When writing a character, it is best to know everything about that person. With a screenplay, we don't need to know things like age, size, or outfits, because those things will be up to other people. But we do need to know everything that has happened to our characters, because that will shape how they act in life.

So, meet James . . . mildly successful, mildly lonely, might meet Ms. Right along the way.

ADDITIONAL!!!
What is the timeline? I haven't quite got it figured out, but in my mind I've been working on something like this:

Day One: Death and notification sequence. Travel plans and communications
Day Two: Travel sequences (Planes, trains, and automobiles)
Day Three: Arrivals and first meetings. Wake
Day Four: Funeral (We could spread it out to 10 days if we wanted, but that would end up with several dozen 2 minutes scenes to get everyone there)
Day Five: Memorial toasts (we need a bar scene)
Day Six: Partings and afterwards.

Is that too tight? Too loose? Is there enough time for romance?
