Quirky Characters

I like quirky and unusual characters in my stories. As antagonists they can make stories interesting. I find I enjoy creating characters who you wouldn't suspect could reek so much evil. An example is the beautiful refined young woman who is a serial killer. Or it could be a plain ordinary looking person who holds the world hostage to his evil deeds. 

Characters come in all sizes, shapes, races, and genders. The trick is to make the story so that you wouldn't suspect that they are what they are. Quirky characters aren't necessarily held to convention or care what others think about them. They just go about their lives in their unusual ways, even if it is strange to us as readers.
