Creative Complex: Build-A-World Part 3

Hello, Builders! Are you ready to continue making our snow globe?

If you missed the first two installments of this series, here they are:
Creative Complex: Build-A-World Part 1
Creative Complex: Build-A-World Part 2

Today, we are focusing on characters. Start with deciding if there are more than one race of intelligent beings.

Examples:
  • Elves
  • Dwarves
  • Humans 
  • Make up your own!
Also, decide if there are intelligent creatures that are not human based. For example, are dragons one of your races?

Next, pick one to five major characters, and one to five minor characters. A major character is a character that is very important in a story, but is not the main character (ex. a friend of the main character), and a minor character does not play an important role in the story (ex. the milk man, who delivers milk every morning, says hi, and that's about it). If you are confused, ask questions in the comments.

Then, one character at a time, decide if they are:
  • Static
    • Their character (beliefs) stays the same no matter what experiences they undergo
  • Dynamic
    • Their character (beliefs) change depending on the experiences they undergo
 and
  •  Flat
    • Usually minor characters, you know very little about them; and they have a very basic personality
  • Round
    • Usually major characters, you know a fair bit about them and they have a complex personality
