Show your charactor

A group of American authors has decided to auction names of characters in their forthcoming novels, in a bid to raise funds for the First Amendment Project. Using eBay, the authors will auction the character names using the auction portal's charity listings, Giving Works.

The money raised will be donated to the FAP, a nonprofit organization promoting freedom of information and expression.
