Character Design

Consider these things when designing your characters....

The lead characters (The Good Guys) are normally:
  • Very clever, some think they are geniuses
  • Able to pay attention to tiny details that are often overlooked by others (like Jonathan Creek)
  • Normally male
  • Normally a bit geeky or anti-social and find it hard to fit in to normal society. They often don't have many close friends.
  • They often have a side-kick to help them, but aren't that close to them, often just being sarcastic towards them or being mean to them
  • They often have a major weakness such as their inability to relate to people or make friends. They might be quite agressive and often lose their temper. They might even have a major weakness such as Sherlock Holmes who takes drugs, or Dexter, who murders people himself!
