Characters like all living things are born. We need to make the reader see them as real people that have a history, likes and dislikes, and many of the facets of their personalities that normal people have. The ideas for such characters come from everyday life from our friends, from people we meet, even someone we see, and think they may have an interesting story or an interesting way of being. The question is, how does an author take a character idea and turn it into a rounded personality? A believable, real personality that the readers can believe in? The Secret speaking character that really can believe in is to first of all, believe in them yourselves?

Asking questions along the way. What makes this character tick? With a C live, TV have a happy childhood. Is he rather angry person or a calm person? All these kinds of things that you find in ordinary people in your friends, family and relations, the object of character analysis and creating a written profile, so that you the author, get to know the character and believe in the character yourself. If a character acts in a certain way that doesn't make sense because of his background or personality, then the reader will find a problem with believing everything that's happening in your story.

Let's take a closer look at how we create a profile by analyzing our characters. different characters can have a different depth, what do I mean by depth? depth can be described as two dimensional or three dimensional Here it would be three dimensional, a rounded character with depth with a history. And the waiter or a taxi driver, for example, could be called two dimensional. a two dimensional character will generally appear briefly in your story, they will just come and go. Nothing needs to be said about them really, maybe a little description, but they really don't need to be explained.

They're simply there so that the story can continue. On the other hand, three dimensional characters are more complete. They've have rounded personalities. They have a history, you can believe and see how they were in the past. And you understand the events that made them the kind of person that they are these people People are realistic and believable. They have complex emotions and motivations that can change throughout the story.

In fact, it's very necessary that the character does change. His internal landscape should undergo growth and new awareness. His internal landscape changes throughout the story, because of the challenges and the obstacles that are placed before him, so that he can't achieve his desires. This is called a character arc. And we'll talk more about this later on in the course. To create a three dimensional character, the author must know as much as possible about the character that they have created.

You need to know about their background where they live, where they pour with a rich, did they love their mothers do they prefer their fathers What kind of flaws did they have? No one is perfect. And a three dimensional character, even in a novel should not be perfect. What are their dreams and hopes for the future? What are their greatest regrets about the past, describe their loves and their fears. The details of such characters should be delivered slowly to the reader, and sparingly, not all at once.

Instead of showing everything about a character at one time, let the characters develop throughout the novel. In this way, he or she can change and grow with time. Please note that not all the details from the character analysis will be used in the novel. You're simply creating as much detail as possible so that you the author can get to know your character so that you can persuade the reader that your character is real. Normally, this means internal growth, the character will change as he overcomes conflict and obstacles, either from events or other characters in the novel. Here are a few global tips for creating three dimensional characters.

Give them some uncharacteristic behavior that surprises from time to time, either from a rebellious nature, or some grave event that changes the way they do behave. Give your main characters great beliefs and great dreams. And let these dreams and beliefs be challenged in the story by events or antagonists add conflicting emotions within the character. Also conflicting beliefs or personality traits. This Added realism, because it's exactly what you find in real people. As well as showing how talented your hero or heroine is, show the imperfections.

And also, how do they get over these imperfections and still excel at what they're trying to do. Most people have likes and dislikes, your main character, give them intense likes and intense dislikes, make everything bigger and grander and more intense. Of course, they should have good and bad habits. Like all of this is a great help to make the character more rounded. If you give them a big and the dark secret that no one knows for themselves, and maybe one other person in the process of creating your character profile, think of as many questions as you can about your character. go into great detail and write them all down.

You should have a list of something like 50 to 60 questions cover every aspect of a real person's life, their emotional landscape, what they do for a living. Are they religious, too, they have friends, too. They have many friends, or just two or three special friends, etc. This is a copy of a part of a list that I created. And it's a way that I get all the detail together so that later on, I can describe what this man or woman is really like. To expand the analysis, make sense out of the answers to the questions, right three to 500 words about your character trying to cover his childhood up to the present time, but you can use as many words as you wish.

The reason for the process is for you to get to know the character As the author, you're going to try and persuade the reader that your character is real believable, and you're going to make them care for the character. Once you have a description of your character, you can imagine how he would behave in different situations. For example, when he's angry, when he's threatened, when he's accused or maybe hurt, how will he behave? What will he or she do? This is what I mean. A man or woman is eating in a restaurant, the door burst open, and a man comes in with a mask and a big knife.

What does your character do? How does he or she behave based on the details of your character analysis?
