Section Two: Complete this just for your supporting characters.
1. How do they know the protagonist? 2. What do they love about the protagonist? 3. Do they disagree with the protagonist about anything? 4. Similarities to protagonist: They both like to assess a situation before entering it. Like to have as much information as possible before making decisions 5. Differences from protagonist: Section Three: Complete this just for your antagonist. If you don't have a physical antagonist, make up four other questions to answer about the challenge your hero is facing. 1. Why are they getting in the way of your protagonist? 2. How do they feel about the protagonist? Why? 3. Do they have any likeable qualities, or are they just plain evil? 4. Do they have any secret weaknesses? Section Four: Abstract antagonists. 1. What is your abstract antagonist? Is it a disease like cancer, a social ill like poverty, or something larger than life, like grief? 2. How is this antagonist affecting the protagonist? 3. Do other characters notice? How does this antagonist affect the other people in your novel? And don’t forget: The Three Big Character Questions 1. What does your main character want more than anything in the world? 2. What do they need to grow as a person (not necessarily the same thing as what they want)? 3. What major flaws (internal problems) and obstacles (external problems) will stand in their way? Also, just a note: It’s totally normal to not have a sense of who the heck your characters are until after you finish writing your first draft. So don’t worry if you feel like you don’t have a hold of your characters yet, or if they start changing on you as you write. That’s part of the process!Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born of settler parents on one of the outlier planets. His father was a builder, his mother was a pilot. He was following in his fathers footsteps of building and designing homes suitable for the new environment on the planet. Once the war broke out central governance of the outlier planets fell down and they were left to fend for themselves.
Eventually as the various sides lost soldiers they needed to replenish the ranks and sought fresh bodies from the settler planets. The settlers were unhappy about this as they wanted no part of the war and put up resisitance which was harshly dealt with. This angered Booth greatly and he went to great lengths to help wherever he could. From defending settlements from conscription gangs to smuggling those at risk to planets not part of the war. It was during one of these missions that he met Dhidai. After she saved his life the pair worked together to help more and more people.
