We were instructed to write a character name at the top of a blank sheet of paper, which would be passed around the room in a circle. It's an exercise similar to creative writing material I've suffered through before, and knew that it would turn silly quite quickly. The professor knew this very well, too, and in fact chose the exercise just for that reason.

In honour of Chaos being in town, the name I wrote at the top of my paper was "William Andrews." Though we were supposed to read the descriptors students in front of us had written to avoid conflicting details, people stopped reading after the lists passed about five items.

The non-conflicting descriptions are:

short
fat
old
hairy
living in a one room apartment
has seven cats
is a vegetarian
has eleven fingers
has man breasts
wants to marry Orlando Bloom
has identity crisis frequently - likes to claim he's Napoleon.

Conflicting descriptions were:

has two sons
never married, but has many children
has a fat wife.

Though it's quite ridiculous, I only have to make one double-spaced page out of this character. I think it will be quite easy and that the only real difficulty will be in keeping it around one page.
