How Not To 抖阴社区 A Fanfiction

I've noticed that in most fan fictions, the main character is unrealistically awesome. Awesome is good, but too much of it is bad. For example: in Percy Jackson the character may be the daughter of a titan or invincible or something. With The Maze Runner, the girl solves the maze in a day, even though it takes the brilliant characters years. In Harry Potter, the character can do crazy magic that's not even written into the books. You get what I'm saying? It's just crazy and doesn't fit the book/movie.

Your character should be flawed, it's what makes them interesting. Plus, if you make the flaws relatable, your audience will be more emotionally attached to the character.

Let your character get hurt! It's not like they're so amazing that nothing ever injures them. They're human (most of the time).

Have the character struggle. They need to have problems, or there is literally no plot line! Let them be sad, broken hearted, and lonely. Their life shouldn't be perfectly perfect.

When their life is going poorly or they get injured, things shouldn't suddenly get better like you'll hurt them but you can't deal with them being hurt.

Being randomly tough, to where it's crazy. Like, oh, I lost a leg. No big deal I'll still kill this person when I need critical medical care. Or oh, I got a knife shoved into my shoulder. To be "realistic" I'll scream but I'll still get up and fight this person off and I won't cry.

Another thing is appearances. (I'll talk more about it in another chapter). But make them realistic! Some of my favorite characters have major appearance issues.

Personalities. This person needs to have little things that are bad about them. No one is perfect.
