Revision as of 18:20, 1 May 2025
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.
