*Creaks open the door to this topic* *Blows away the dust*
I have a potential idea for a character, someone who falls into a gray antagonistic role. But all that to say, three things need to come across in his character:
1. He needs to be a real threat.
2. He also needs to be likable and fun to watch, preferably one of the most fun.
3. It would be super cool to the audience if he joined the good side. (Doesn’t mean he will, but the possibility should be appealing.)
I think he’s going to start out as a friend of the protagonist, but then realizes they are at odds, a Peter Parker/Harry Osborn kind of deal.
Have you ever liked the antagonist in a story? What did you like about them? Maybe they had a cool personality or a sense of humor? Did you ever really really want a bad guy to become good? Any tips or suggestions for a character like this?
“Everything is a mountain”
OOOH! I love this topic! Ok here is my villain!
Ok her name is Rosemary, she is ONE of my villains in Kingdom of Kaimor (my WIP)! She hates the royal family and the Keepers, blaming them for the death of her husband. She is a poet so she tries to turn the kingdom against the royal family and the Keepers. Ok here is some quick backstory of how her husband died! so basically there are these people called fallen, they are my humanoid animals in KoK (Kingdom of Kaimor) they can make a choice whenever they want. they will become more powerful, stronger, faster, but more wild, you can also fall into it with out your choice, if your emotions over take you. this can only happen to the humanoid animal characters, not to humans though. anyway there is also only one cure, this flower that is almost extinct, and it only works on that stage when your turning into a fallen and you have had not to chose to do so.
But anyway her husband chose to become a fallen, and she thought he had just fallen into it, so she blamed it on the prince and the leader of the throne of the healers. (Which is a keeper named Rapha) so now she blames them and uses her writing and magic to turn the kingdom against them.
Spookay month!
Ah, she is vengeful and sad. You could give her a little peace at the end; maybe she finds out what truly happened to her husband.
