NCStokes started the topic A villain who won't… do anything, really in the forum Characters 8 years ago
Normally, I have no problems with my villains. In fact, I sometimes like them better than the MC. *which totally doesn’t say anything about me* *stop looking at me like that* But I have got a problem child on my hands. The essence of my problems: he doesn’t know what he wants out of life. He doesn’t have a nefarious plan, motivation for a nefarious plan, OR ANYTHING. He’s also kind of manifestation of the worst qualities of all my MCs. Something that will scare each on of them because they see it in themselves, if you will. But, he doesn’t have a real reason for entering the plot, so he’s just kind of… there.
The premise of this story: four characters escape their book and live semi-peacefully in the real world until the villain (he doesn’t even have a real name yet wow I am in bad shape) escapes the book as well. What happens next, you might ask? He does EVIL stuff, that’s what.
So you see where the problem is, yes? So please, shower me with suggestions. Tips. Anything. Please.
Not going to tag anyone because
I’m lazyI have a bad memory for them. So, *puts message in a bottle and throws it out to sea*
