Hi guys!
I’ve got a fun little exercise for ya.
We like to give our protagonists a mix of positive and negative traits, but do we do the same for our villains? Sure, they’re evil, but they have some skills and virtues too.
So I challenge y’all to list five positive characteristics of your villains/antagonists like so:
Saint: straightforward, determined, confident, relaxed, and a strong leader who cares (in his own way) for his men.
If you feel really motivated do the same with your protagonist, but with negative traits. If you’ve got a character that feels a little underdeveloped, you could use them instead of your villain/hero. This will help remind us who our characters are, and give others a chance to get a glimpse of the characters we’re working on.
Ready? GO!
