Character Dynamics (part 2)


One way to create a dynamic change among characters is to use story events or the environment to trigger a sudden change. Sometimes a character you thought you knew will drastically change his or her demeanor in reaction to a new circumstance. This sudden change could open up an opportunity later for a reveal of the character's background--what happened in their past that might have caused them to have such an unexpected reaction? It's usually more interesting to discover character backgrounds along the way than to know what drives them from the very beginning.
