Some great characters started forming in Everwhere last night; minor characters, people and creatures there to do little more than to fill out some exposition and splash a little colour and social background to the world. It's nice to know i can introduce them, do as i wish with their lives and then put them away, never to return, or to return later and make it look like i planned the whole thing.
A main character is giving me trouble though. I need him to be likeable, because... well... he's a main character. But he needs a universal nastiness to him that can still tap into that little part of the brain that knows it's fun to smash things, and lives... and people... Also undecided whether i want him to be empathised with, or really... do i just want a stock villain as a placeholder for a bigger reveal? Oooooh!
