The Mc is Ellan. Ellan is coming from extremely rich far right family that has a building company and he is a really passive person at the start of series. All his life is decided by his family who he will marry what job he will do and everything. He is kinda judgemental and arrogant but this traits soften up as he get development, he learns stand of for himself too.

I'm working on this passion project that's going to be a magical girl au based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's about Charlie becoming a magical girl after winning the golden ticket contest and becoming heir to the chocolate factory. I've been writing for weeks about who Charlie Bucket but I feel like I'm missing something so I want share what I written so far to see how good you think it is:

Character Notes
* Fatal Flaw (according to Wonka): "Blankness" (Passivity, Naivety, Compliance, Being Ordinary)
* Saving Strength: Resilient Innocence (Faith, Kindness, Generosity, Openness)

* Want: To Be Just Like Wonka
* Need: Be His Own Hero
* Secret: His Liminal Powers
* Desire: To Feel He Belongs/Is Enough
* Method: Be A Magical Girl
* Fear: Being Seen as Nothing or Worse ("Not Good Enough to be a Bucket, Not Special Enough to be A Wonka")

Writing: Character Help How could I make my character 'hulk out' without it being too common?

1 Upvotes

I have an oc who was given powers at birth by my world's version of demigods (like they're super powerful but not full on god scale) and besides a few other abilities I want to give him the power to 'hulk out' when under a certain stimuli, my original idea was just to do the anger thing like most that do this trope do, but do to his vengeful personality and the fact that he's always fighting with his brother (they've got a whole hot vs cold type thing) if anger was the trigger he'd constantly be in one form one minute and another the next, I want it to be inconvenient (a downside to the powers if you will) but not so much that it would be a common occurrence

my main inspo is this ep of pinky and the brain in the sense of how he acts since he seems like he's capable of high thoughts just not to the same degree as his normal self but he's driven by (in this case) anger

Discussion What does everybody think of this webcomic idea? It's like Game of Thrones meets Hearts of Iron Meets Monster High or Disney Descendants. About the childhoods of the kids of all the worst dictators or this nightmare world!

Writing: Character Help I am stumped on what the gender of my character should be in a book.

The story is very philosophical and morality focused, and the deuteragonist character is a compelling powerful person who has a strong very sense of justice and the power to enact it anytime as they deem fit, which causes many problems legally and socially. Anyway, the character was originally a female but I know that if it was a male they would be received a whole lot better by readers and maybe even a fan favorite. I was imagining her as a female for years but I want her to be well received and complex, and super interesting to people . and I know that it’s more likely if she’s a man.
