What? How ridiculous! Writing characters without any psychological background? That’s just nonsense! No, thank you! I want my justifications please!
So there we have it…
Pick one of your favourite characters of all time.
Perhaps from a play, a film, a book, a comic… anything.
But pick someone with very little background. Someone we don’t know much about. So probably not a character that is the hero… or one we’ve been following since birth.
Because it’s on you to create this character’s “origin story”.
Who are they? Where did they come from? What made them become who they are? What made them behave the way they did?
Give them the story they deserve! Don’t forget – you love them after all.
For bonus points – write in as many stage directions you can think of…
