Goals are something your character wants and is willing to put time and effort in to achieve. Giving your character a goal is very important and I would say even a MUST.
These goals can be either big goals like: becoming a president or escaping a certain life style.
Or small like:
I want to fall in love
I want to learn a new skill.
A goal can help in many ways for you, the plot and others.
It can help:
- You write most connected to your character.
- Help you have a backup subject in case your character has no subject to talk about with others.
- It can help hosts move their rp if needed.
- It can create some real drama.
- It makes your character relatable when you explain why they have the goal.
- Help with the backstory of your character.
Here are some other examples of character goals:
- Feel like they’re worth something.
- Overcome a disability.
- Be in control.
- Protect a friend.
- Travel in space.
- No longer be afraid.
- Be admired.
- Be redeemed.
- Find inspiration.
- Prove them wrong.
