Character creation

The most important part of writing/creating a story is the character itself. If you create your character correctly, the story writes itself - f. ex. a young girl who is broke and loves animals inherits a pelt factory.

__Every character needs: - goal (drive) Why do they do what they do, what keeps them going - weakness (if in personality or powers) A character without weakness is boring and unrelatable - fear - darkest secret - Name (fitting name, you can’t name a little flower girl something like Verosika or a gangster boss Milo - like, those maybe work, but there are better fits) - Age - appearance (how they clothe, how they look) - walk (how they walk says a lot about who they are) - friends/enemies - backstory - how did they grow up, what happened to them, why are they here

All those things make up a character's unique personality and make them who they are

For a good story, you also need a conflict, mostly of interest, like, character wants to go home but a dragon blocks his path so he needs to train to defeat it or something. Can be very simple, but needs to capture audience.

Even more interesting story if you add a character with opposing goals/knowledge F. ex. a guy forced to work at a ghost hunter office but doesn’t believe in ghosts paired up with a supernatural entity who wants to keep humans from finding out about the supernatural
