My characters name is Johnny Agamemnopoulos and he has a very distinguished voice. He speaks English with a Greek accent and sees things through a way that benefits him, his friends and his relatives only. Yet, my character has a kind of soft side which is a pity for those who are done wrongly. Unfortunately his more prominent side prevents himself from acting in a just way for the wrongly done.
In this story, Johnny Agamemnopoulos is challenged with problems that recquire his softer-side to rectify and his prominent self-centered self to be discovered by him.
Johnny is 8 years old and lives in Brunswick West. He lives with his mum and dad, brother, two sisters and his grandmother. In his street there are four other houses filled with his relatives; his uncles and aunts, cousins and second cousins.
In my story, the other characters that appear are Johnny’s cousins Idas, Heraklitos, Alexandra. His dad, Leon. His mum, Penelope. His uncle Dimitrios and his friends Taso and Daniel.

to achieve what i have said, i will use colloquialisms and occasional notes to inform the reader

I think this sounds like a very good idea Harry. I'm wondering what sort of colloquialisms you are planning to use and in what other ways we will hear Johnny's "voice". I'm also wondering how we are going to see this softer side and how we as readers are going to see he is unreliable.
I think using a child narrator will work well - particularly as he sounds like a complex and interesting character with a lot of conflict inside him - which will make him interesting. I'm looking forward to reading your story.
