Quick weird question:
Can I have a more detailed description of the different characters and the place? physical, psychological, etc. I'm working on polishing the different themes and the main theme as well and that might help
Well I have some ideas for secondary characters, but I don't know if they'll mesh with the existing story very well.
But Here is my versions of the characters:
Vikki: A very strong willed woman who won't back down in a fight/argument.
CEO: a ruthless business man who buys independent game devs who make all-the-sudden-popular video games.
Jesse: A natural multitask-er that is both the buildings soul computer technician and a programmer who specializes in the math and technical side.
John: a young intern whose only job is to run the coffee machine, keep the printers running and not distract the employees.
I like the descriptions except Jesse's
I must say, and this is really important, I'm not sure that Jesse should have any mental disability, specially DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder, also known as Multiple Personality Disorder). It's a pretty complex disorder that already has a lot of stigma behind it so I worry about having that as a characteristic for the protagonist. Specially if the game is very lore based, it might cause a lot of trouble. DID community is pretty tired of being used in fiction stuff as a way to make the plot "interesting", if that makes sense.
Just putting it out there so all the writers know
I will work with what I have so far for the other characters. Hopefully I'll have stuff soon
I also hate the stereotypes in fiction. And I didn't mean DID. I couldn't (and still can't) remember what it's called but like you find it hard to tell the truth. Like mentally. To keep you guessing about this character. I guess I should have googled it. I just thought it was simply enough that we could do in accurately. Sorry!
Here's a new one for Jesse: Jesse is a strong willed man that even though he doesn't talk much, he's always thinking. None of his coworkers know very much about him except Jack who entered the company with Jesse.
And here's Jack. I forgot about him: Jack is the clown. An extremely outgoing man He'll strike a conversation with anyone he thinks ins interesting, which is how he became Jesse's friend. Aside from that he has a mind for story which is how he got hired as a writer and eventually head writer at the company.
So there it is. Any side characters can be chopped up to a personality type like the secretary or a janitor. I think your right about the whole mental disorder thing. but I did want the CEO and Vikki to see the robots which means they need a mental or visual impairment. My idea was Vikki gets replaced and the CEO shuts himself in his office in fear of the robots.
I really like the new descriptions and I think that Jack as a character works pretty well! No need to say sorry btw lol, I just really care about mental health and things like that so sorry if I sounded rude when I made the comment.
With all this I can keep polishing all the things I have before showing them, Thanks!
