WHAT-NOTS[]
The purpose of this series of activities is to introduce scenarios where people can share their own experiences in the Sonic Fan Character world. Each month we introduce a new topic for people to share their input on. You can find the rest of the What-Nots HERE.
REVAMP?[]
Revamp is taking older topics and reintroducing them so that people who may not have seen them can participate now, and for those who may have added to or changed their lore who wish to share more. Revamps will go from issue 1-60 before continuing as standard.
TOPIC[]
“WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER'S PURPOSE?”
A character’s purpose comes in two forms, the meta and the in-story. The Meta Purpose refers to what the writer wants to accomplish with the character in the story: be it a theme, an arc, or to evoke emotion. In-story, a character’s purpose is their drive, what their goal is.
The story today is “What is your character’s purpose?” What motivates them? What role do they take up in their groups? What were your intentions for them in designing them, and how has that evolved over time?
HOST’S EXAMPLE[]
A recent character of mine is “Baiza”, a self-aware AI from a robot species called “Kruntans” who was uploaded into an artificial mobian body with experimental abilities. When designing the character, I just liked the idea of the look given that they wear multiple different helmets, each with a different set of abilities, but I’ve found spots to add them in my story arcs. Specifically, they are meant to have a death scene during a MultiForce event. In-story, Baiza is an agent of the Kruntans who is learning more about the multiverse and trying to find her own individuality, especially when having to compete with beings like Identities.
