Congrats. We're almost there. As yesterday, copy & paste your results into the top of your comment today. That's your starting point.
Step #2: swap job descriptions between characters, keeping everything else the same.
Step #3: looking at your revised list, swap gender only.
Step #4: now, swap the ages creating totally new characters.
