So I firmly believe death and rape are the two most overused plot devices to force development on a character, so I'm going to present you with a new list of things that can be used to promote development that do NOT include tearing your character to an irreparable mess  because, you know, there are other ways  losing faith in their religion  losing a friend  having a parent or child say something terribly mean to them  saying something they don't mean to someone they care for and regretting it  gaining an addiction that they can't kick  introduction to drug usage that has social or health repercussions  getting an injury that forces them to change their lifestyle  be diagnosed with an illness they don't really have  getting into an argument with a loved one  doing something to "prove a point" and immediately regretting it  finding a new home and soon missing their old one  commit to something (like a job) that they immediately regret  underestimate someone and get defeated/"showed"  be defeated in a competition  getting themselves in an embarrassing situation they can't get out of their mind  completely inaccurate self-diagnosis that leads to problems  completely accurate diagnosis that makes them think differently about themselves  try to learn a new skill and completely fail  go through a streak of doing bad at something they're usually great at  getting rejected by someone they really care for  basically convincing themselves of anything negative that isn't true  suffering an experience that makes them gain a fear of something very common  experiencing a situation that leads to low self-esteem  not being able to learn something no matter how hard they try  going through a series of misfortunes and getting all doom and gloom  going through a "lose-lose" situation and having to suffer a consequence  being haunted by a formerly repressed memory that's now very obvious  finding out something that makes them question their way of life  being taken advantage of by someone they care about  having to care for someone who's depressed or suicidal  being forced into making decisions they don't want to  being thrust into a situation they don't want to be in  being forced to spend time with someone they don't like  losing control over an aspect of their life they don't want to lose control over  suffer a demotion or loss of job  being forced to take another job that they have no interest in  being forced to fight a war they don't want to (for whatever reason)  dealing with a sick family member/friend who cannot be healed [align=center][sub]this guide is credited to brelle from feralfront.[/sub] Re: A LIST OF NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROMPTS - Rocky - 06-14-2017 yesssss i love this +track & bookmark Re: A LIST OF NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENT PROMPTS - MarMar - 06-15-2017 tracking this!! thanks des<3 |
