Help

In an attempt to better understand and communicate my characters, I'm going to try to determine 4 traits of each that are going to influence the direction they follow in the story and how they interact with others. These are a primary Ideal they wish on the world, a Personal Goal that they want for themselves, a Principle of how they operate to achieve their desires and a Flaw that becomes an obstacle to themselves (something which they themselves would recognise as a flaw if they notice it).

This is a work in progress. Some of this may be changed. You guys can add your own as well.

Hoshitaka:

Ideal: End of Racism

Goal: Peaceful Life

Principle: Use of Force is justified as a means to a good end

Flaw: Distrust

Nikola:

Ideal: Protection of the Weak

Goal: Success as Inventor(?)

Principle: Non-violence

Flaw: Inaction

Black Knight:

Ideal: Anarchy(?) (maybe some form of freedom if not explicitly believing in anarchy himself)

Goal: End of Corrupt Leaderships across the world

Principle: Resolute Determination to the point of Murder

Flaw: Short-sighted

Unnamed Medieval Aspirant Knight:

Ideal: Virtue in Leadership (Authoritarian), Virtue in People

Goal: Follow and Serve a Great Leader

Principle:

Flaw: Ignorant(?)

(Not a protagonist, but probably an important character for the overall plot)

The Wizard:

Ideal: Uncompromising Freedom

Goal: Proliferation of magic

Principle: Amassing of Power, all tools are viable

Flaw: Insane (often does things that do not advance or even explicitly counter his goals)

(I'm not entirely sure I'll keep this character)

Unnamed Wannabe Hero:

Ideal: Justice

Goal: Become a hero

Principle: Constant training

Flaw: Naive(?) (does not know how to save the world)
