*sigh* I guess it's time to talk about my characters. This might be a multi-parter, so hold onto your seats.
I love my characters. Absolutely adore every last one of them (I say this now because I have not imagined a character of my own that I loathe). Even my villains and antagonists. I've always found myself somewhat fascinated by bad guys.
Raymond Reddington (the Sin Eater) from The Blacklist has got to be my all time favorite antagonists of all time. (James Spader really brought that character alive)
Ultron from Avengers: Age of Ultron, also played by James Spader, seriously fascinates(terrifies) me. (Maybe it's James Spader that I actually love?)
He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, (Ha Ha my brain's autocorrect...) /Voldemort/ has always fascinated me, despite his evil actions.
...
Yikes, sorry. *slaps own wrist* Stay on track, Tzion. I'm supposed to talk about my characters.
I have a confession. I don't know my own characters very well. I have been trying to write this story for a few years now, and I still can't tell you exactly how my main characters look, or even go into detail about their personalities. I mean, I know what they look like; I can see them in my mind, but if I try to look closely at them, they get fuzzy, as if I have forgotten a memory.
Some part of me (way deep, deep, deep inside of me) thinks that it's because I am afraid of getting to know them better because they resemble me so much.
Another part of me thinks that I'm just indecisive on a lot of details about my characters.
The other day I tried filling out one of those character profile questionnaires for my main characters. It was scary. I don't think I could fill in even half of the 46 questions for each major character.
So I've always had this idea that my personality is overly complicated. Recently, I changed my thinking, so that in addition to being complicated, it's grown to be well-rounded enough that personality tests can only be very broad and not very detailed. Is this considered having an identity crisis?
