From the lesson plans: Oct. 3: - Character: Protagonist Profile ā¼ Draft a profile of your protagonist. Include detailed information such as name, age, physical attributes, occupation, education, culture, religion, family, relationship status, personality, likes, dislikes, strengths, weakness, motivations and desires. Use Google Images to find an image of your character. The point of this exercise is for you to get to know your character inside and out before you write your novel. If you don't know your character, how can you expect it of your readers? Flesh out your pre-story character in detail. Keep in mind that your protagonist will grow in some way during your story. Links are available in the details of the lesson in the prep calendar. Now, on a personal note, when I write fantasy especially, I use Dungeons And Dragons character sheets. Everything is right there. Remembering that a score of 9-11 is human adult average, this is an easy vway to have comparisons between characters, as well as their skill sets right in front of you. Of course, not everything is going to be relevant - saving throws, for example - but I do find they work well, as everything from appearance to ability is in one place. I also have been known to use the Hello Future Me YouTube channel. Here is a great video essay (c.20 min) on making heroes not boring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfqvKeu3smI |
