My Pairing Is Between My Original Characters Named Yuuma Mochizuki And Jukka Virtanen.

My pairing is between my original characters named Yuuma Mochizuki and Jukka Virtanen.

Their foundational ship dynamic is Anti-Hero x Anti-Villain with Yuuma as a reluctant, cowardly, and hypersensitive superhero and Jukka as the charming vengeful force of nature supervillain.

However there is definitely an undercurrent of Opposites Attract with Yuuma being a hypersensitive compassionate yet intellectually "stupid" Hero and Jukka being an apathetic intellectuallly competent Villain.

What ultimately unites them is there mutual (reluctant at first) willingness to try and understand each other which is more than what anyone else has done for them in the past. They also share an adoration of the arts, media, mental illness, and comical stubborness.

How To Write Character Motivation

This little (not-so-little) post is all about how to give your character a motivation for that goal all the while taking into account important things like the backstory, worldbuilding, themes, and such.

Keep in mind the fact that there are billions of different goals and connecting motivations so this advice is probably not applicable for everything :)

Again, these are just some tips. I am going to be assuming that you have some basic information about your character like what they want and where they come from :D

A) Questions, Questions, And More Questions

Take your character and ask them what their goal is. Then ask them "why?". Force them to answer. Then ask them different "why" questions based on what they answer!

For example: "Character A wants to kill the dragon"

Why? The dragon killed my family.

Why did the dragon kill your family? My father was a monster hunter who was upsetting the dragon's food resource.

Why did the dragon kill your other family members? My mom and my sister were collateral damage in the dragon's attack.

You can do this little exercise with any type of goal from crime, adventure, romance, to any other genre I haven't listed yet!

B) Deep Psychology

Now you have ask yourself, actually your character but you know, "what is this really about"?

What does this goal symbolize for this character?

Character A wants to kill the dragon because she believes it will end her own nightmares about the death of her parents. This is a thoughtless attempt to grieve without grieving.

Character B wants to steal a treasure of their home village because he believes that by gaining the financial rewards associated, he will be adored by his new community of outsiders. This is a desire for belonging.

You get the point. These goals aren't just about stealing your home's sacred treasure for wealth or killing a dragon for revenge. It's about universal desires we all share. To be loved, to be strong, to be great.

This is necessary because most people don't live in isolated villages housing secret treasures nor do they kill dragons. If you want your audience to connect with your character, the audience needs something universal to latch onto.

C) Themes And Misbelief

Most great stories feature a "misbelief" or mistaken assumption. This is the potentially fatal flaw of this character who believes something that is either not reflective of reality or will endanger something they care about.

Even if Character A kills the dragon ten times over, their family is gone. They can't kill their grief. They have to authentically work through it. Besides, I can't imagine how completely f#cked the food web would be if an apex predator like the dragon died.

If Character B used the sacred treasure to gain untold wealth they most likely would gain the acceptance and support of the "outsiders". But isn't it more important to protect the tradition. Their culture? Their people? It's a good thing to protect things that need to be protected!

These stories can either end as a cautionary tale, a lifeless happily ever after, and an impactful happy ever after depending on the character arc and ending of these characters.

If Character A and B "succeed" in their goals but this ruins their overall life, it's a cautionary tale.

If Character A and B succeed in their goals and they suffer no consequences for their mistaken belief, it's a lifeless victory.

If Character A and B choose different goals as a result of a character arc then they will succeed and reach a true happily ever after.

The specific post this is about is called "How To Write Characters With Addiction"

Hi,been a while.

So whats up.How you doing?I am curious if you give advice about writing people with addictions for example substance.I have resons my my male MC does it.But how can I describe the addictions the MC has correctly.

Thank you.

I finished it :)

Verne And Stansevain: Stanse was inspired by my interest in what I call the "horror of understanding". How some people drag each other further into the ground simply to know that they both can taste the mud. Verne was inspired by a desire to deconstruct the "damsel in distress" character type!

Young And Fremont/Aaron: I was inspired by a dream I had. I dreamed I was an otherworldly end of life duela to put it simply who had to convince Aaron with his wife and children to go into the afterlife. Everyone was rather simple except for Aaron. I then woke up. Since I desired to see the ending, I went back to sleep. I was finally able to convince Aaron to be reincarnated once I promised him that I would personally make sure that he and his family would be reincarnated together.

{WARNING: SPOILERS FOR OBEY ME GAME UP NEXT}

Kiri And Amoiel: When I was playing Obey Me casually, they started hinting at a special connection between Lilith and MC. I was thinking, "It would be strange to see the MC as Lilith since that's borderline incest soul-wise..." So I tried to explain this obvious connection in my head. So I went: Lilith fell down? Maybe she fell onto Earth! Then I concocted this wild theory where Lilith left a mark on the ancestors of MC. Combined with Junji Ito's "What Lurks Beneath the Sea", i came up with a story about a parasitic angel forced to harvest on the lifespan of this family generation.

Writers Challenge#4

Author Interview:

Hi guys.

It's me again and I guess I have another challenge this time and this is too all writers who haven't found their title, even if you have a title you can join.

OC inspirations.

And book inspirations.

How did your book grow into it now?

Was a fanfic to original story?

Vibes?

Optional.

What inspired you to write your WIP? It could be a book, a show, a person or even a character.

My current WIP is based on a Wolfblood, Twilight and Avatar:The Last Airbender.

Wolfblood gave me the way to write controlled werewolves, Twilight gave me my protagonist, Thalia but she was a nameless Black girl who had a relationship with a vampire and Avatar for my panther shifters but slowly the book changed, and the Avatar gave me inspo for her abilities and she was a mortal who lived with supernatural creatures.

So yeah.

Thats it.

The vibe is a snowy winter wonderland filled with secrets and monsters and strange happenings after a strange human girl meets a tribe of Inuit werewolves.

The tone is quite dark at first.

Sorry for the tags.

This is for some of my other/older works since I absolutely can't get enough of talking about my OCs :D

Nuetral And Pearson: This is the funniest backstory for characters. Basically in my old science class whenever I was learning and doing projects on human biology, I would use Neutral Huemin (Neutral Human) and Pearson(Person)! They had children. They grew up. They adopted sentient plants that teach others about how plants work.

Alyenora, Coliuh, And Carver: Sci-Fi mixed with Isekai with a satirical perspective on some weird Sci-Fi themes. Alye hates this sci-fi book since it's one of those "I hate technology! Ignore how technology has advanced medicine, architecture, society, and everything that helps me!". Unfortunately, Isekai situation happens and Alyenora is forced to rely on Coliuh who is an investigation of the "Born Sexy Yesterday" trope and Carver who's a deep-dive into the "Everyman" trope.

Text Excerpt From My WIP [IGNORE]

I'm just writing this since I got an amazing idea for this paragraph but it's not something I can write now so i'll write it here so I won't forget

"It would be incorrect to say that her death was the inciting incident to their (failed) suicide attempt. Not that it didn't weigh in on later matters but it's just not what caused the climatic failure that punctuated that evening. In actuality, the spark that lit the match was a thought that quickly fell away from my self-preservation's grasping hands. "I can't handle growing older anymore". From the moment my body was left to rot in that cold sterile prison, I was set apart from the human race through my brutality and immaturity. Dreams of riding our bikes to the waterfall framed by summer trees -- I wasn't meant to be there. Aspirations of wearing a champagne wedding dress with a cherised community cheering for my joy -- I wasn't meant to be loved.

"I want to die" as the curtains were mutilated

"I want to die" as I united with the ceiling.

"I want to die" as my feet were seperated from the chair.

I collapsed. Nearly landed on top of the corpse. It wasn't right. I was supposed to be falling into hell. Kissing the boots of Lucifer! Look, I don't know what you do in hell!? Anyway, that's not the point. I was alive.

I ran to door. Open. Closed. And stared into the mirror. It wasn't me. It was someone that was weeping as the tears stained their red cheecks. It was some monster with a mouth so stretched open and parted around a cry I was sure that this face of pure despair must have been etched in their birth. They looked like a baby crying for it's mom. I was a twenty-something with a mom who had been dead for too many years at this point. It wasn't me.
