Anyway, yeah, that's along the line of SPAM. However, since you're young and enthusiastic like us, we'll pass this one time. XD Just one line that does not introduce a new topic and doesn't reply to the current topic/s is SPAM. XD Question: The development of your characters. When you first think of them. Do you stick them in right away with the hope that they're good enough, or do you spend more time musing upon them? I kinda do both. Some characters I recognize as awesome right away, while others I stick on the back of my mind to dwell upon later, when I'm thinking about that kind of stuff. »SilverBlaze09» |

If I don't like a character, I tend to forget they exist (not on purpose-- it just sort of happens). On the other hand, some characters who I personally dislike are fun to use. I get aggrivated by my own characters. Is that odd? |

To keep this from being a SPAMmy post, I shall reply to the current topic. Question: The development of your characters. When you first think of them. Do you stick them in right away with the hope that they're good enough, or do you spend more time musing upon them? I rarely make up my own characters. I just try to develop on those already existing, mainly characters from the Animé. So far I've only made up one character in my One-Shot series(I think), and that would be Amber, who just came to me at an oportune time, so I stuck her in to the story. I also have another character in mind who will appear eventually in a later story, but yeah, I have to spend some more time musing on her before I'm ready. |
well, for the characters my brother originally made, he kinda had their role in the story already planned out for some part, but I have to try working on their characterization as they go on. As I've mentioned a few times before, I'm having quite a bit of trouble with having a set personality for Hiro. Based on my brother's original designs, all I knew about him was that he's related to the Kimono Sisters, he's accustomed to his life at his home, kinda attached to his family due to growing up with 5 elder sisters and no direct parents, and he's not interested in Pokemon journeying if it means leaving that life behind. He's gotta somehow end up loving Pokemon, and I've kinda been botching up on that transitional phase. I think I got a correct method for that planned for a future revision, but for now, I'm gonna try to finish the story with what I have. In the first version, Hiro's sisters were just kinda there, rather 2D characters who contribute nothing. As the first version went on, I tried giving more personality to them (somewhat based off of their Eievui evolution to keep it simple, for instance, Tamao being a conning flirt fits her Blacky, a dark-type), but in this version, I gave them, as well as their Pokemon, personalities off the bat, and as the story progresses, I intend to give them more of a role rather than just being the family that Hiro desperately wants to return to. Hiro's Pokemon, likewise, were a bit 2D, and well, pretty much everybody my brother originally had was 2D, but I worked with them without completely getting rid of them, most of them anyway.
As for my own, original characters, usually I'll think of a character I find to be pretty cool, try to think of what kinda role they could play in the story that's kinda suiting towards them, and only ditch them when I can't think of anything good. Other times, I'll think of interesting side-plots that could connect with the main story in a way, and come up with characters that suit it. |
I really feel horrible now.
But I'm leaving, as you can see from my demodded state. Life's a whole grand turmoil. Sorry, Niko. Sorry, authors. Sorry, frost. xx Bye then! |
...
Now I'm all alone... geez... But oh well... I've managed this forum by myself once and I'll manage it again by myself... Anyways, Lily... I can always talk to you via MSN... |

I was a bit arrogant and aggravated so pardon the PMs I sent to you guys. And yeah. It's the return of those kinds of sigs. The Feelingshipping ones. Yeah. I thought I should be back to my old self again instead of being cynical and sarcastic. |
Character development... I like to insert pretty much everything I think of, and then later I make it into something really complicated and plotty. Just kind of my style.
I've made slight fun of myself by saying that if I were writing a murder mystery, I'd first put in a bunch of suspicious characters and circumstances, and then when I'm halfway through the story I'd start trying to figure out the mystery myself. x3 |

Character is probably the most important. If the characters are set out right, then the other 4 elements of the story will make themselves pretty obvious. |

What do you all prefer in a fic; a character that changes by the end of the story or one that stays the same throughout? Do you find one more fulfilling than the other, or do each have their merits? |
My characters aren't really pinned down. Like a lot of other things I do, I just sort of bungle my way through by the feel of it. Characters of mine say things and do things and respond in certain ways because I think that they would, not because I have them pinned down as being one way or another when I start.
Truly, I like dynamic characters better than static characters. Which is what makes rewriting The Ninetales' Curse hard; Katherine is intentionally static, but somehow I have to make her interesting and true-to-life, because she is what most people would pick out as the main character. |
Static and dynamic are equally interesting to me. It all depends on how it is done. There are definite situations where a static character is by far a much better choice than a dynamic one. For example, a static character demonstrates the effect of the outer world/outer pressure a lot better than a dynamic character.

nearly all characters I see manage to change in some way, it's how character development usually works. However, would an example of an unchanging character be.... say.... Alucard from Hellsing? From what I recall, he doesn't actually develop. Instead, he's a powerful, demonic guardian at the beginning of the story, and he's a powerful, demonic guardian at the end of the story. What makes him interesting, though, was that there were so many existing secrets and background behind him, so while his personality pretty much stayed intact the whole way through, the audience is learning what aspects of him are already there as the story progresses. Mind you, I haven't read the manga, which I hear is longer than the anime, so I wouldn't know if Alucard's personality develops in that.

MasterMan, you should take that over to the Art section and put it in the Comics area. We only do novel-like stuff here, not Great Illustrated Classics. XD MewTox, any relation to MewPox? Or MewLox? No offence, but I think we should alert the government. In case, y'know, one of their, like, cool projects got away. XD SilverBlaze09 |

SilverBlaze09, I just meant that I haven't posted in this Fanfiction Lounge before. ^^;
Lili, you're leaving? ;.; Why? *sniff* I shall miss you... You'll still be on at SPPf? What do you all prefer in a fic; a character that changes by the end of the story or one that stays the same throughout? Do you find one more fulfilling than the other, or do each have their merits? I do like it when a character changes throughout the story. It makes them seem much more real and human. (Even if they're not exactly human, if you know what I mean.) I find static characters rather dull and uninteresting. P.S. Could someone pleasepleaseplease reply to my latest One-Shot? T.T I didn't receive a single review on the last one either. |
