>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 19 23:31:28 2019 No.13496971 >>13496943 write an outline of their main traits, make them behave like they have those traits. Simple as that, characters in fictional worlds are not supposed to be realistic, they're supposed to be to whatever your story is needed to be.

>>	Anonymous Fri Jul 19 23:40:40 2019 No.13496994 >>13496466 Have an actual story to tell. Do not take the audience or the value of your writing for granted.
