The usual. The major character has already been decided, though there are a lot more options going to be available, so everybody has an even chance at being able to get into my first book.
@Crystal-Rose Beaumont, All in all I believe there will be around ten options (not counting the Protagonist) available to enter a contest for, though the amount. of characters will differ with each contest, so there may be one winner or three.
The first was the Protagonist, who is the central person in the story. The protagonist does not always have to be admirable, though they must invoke empathy from the reader, or be charismatic enough not to be disliked by the reader. This position was claimed by Felina, who I am currently working with to create a plot.
The second will be the Antagonist; their goals in the story oppose the Protagonist's, and they are goals in which the protagonist must contend. Therefore, the Antagonist is the Protagonist's biggest hurdle.
There will also be a handful of Central characters, which are characters that are vital to the development of the plot and the resolution of the conflict.
There will often be Minor characters which are created to compliment the Major characters, and keep the plot moving onwards.
There will by Dynamic characters, who gradually change over time within the stories. They tend not to be peripheral, as they are up there with Central characters.
Static characters do not change over time, and there will be a few spotted throughout the story.
A Rounded character is anybody with a complex personality; we often find them fighting the conflicting emotions within themselves.
Of course, a Flat is the opposite. They are quite simple characters, and usually have a recurring personality trait.
In every story there is a Stock character, which is a character that has been used so many times that it is a cliché. For example, the Mad Scientist.
A Foil is the Major character of the Antagonist - their goals always contrast with the Protagonist's, or the rightful opinion of the good characters.
A Symbolic character is the personification of a major idea, or some aspect of society. For example, Santa Claus represents Christmas, whereas Kramus is the opposite.
Feel free to choose any of the above, and I will keep it in mind when choosing the next contest.
@Wynter-Rose Salvatore, Are you really gonna make that many contests? I mean, I think people would get pretty bored with entering contests for the same story - but I might be wrong! (Though if I had to choose, it would be the Antagonist, Central or maybe the Symbolic one; pretty sure it's gonna be the Antagonist, because I can make some badass mean guys!)
@Crystal-Rose Beaumont, I plan to; this is more of a way to gain friends than to see who the better writers are. I believe you should go for what you wish, no matter what it may be.
