Hello fellow lurker and oh myyy, I'm feeling bit drowsy already as I write this comment (so my ability to really get written detail through my thick skull may not be at it's peak), Â but after reading and rereading your character concept I can't but applaud a bit. The amount of care you have put into developing Alastair shines beautifully through your text, and makes him interesting and genuine feeling character in my mind.
"If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall,Â
in the second or third chapter it absolutely must go off.Â
If it's not going to be fired, it shouldn't be hanging there."
