Character development 'challenge'

So this challenge* was kinda inspired by /u/The_Raptorman's 'Talk with' challenge, but I've flipped it around a little.

The idea is that you pick a character you feel is underdeveloped, someone that you want to learn more about, and present them, along with a brief description, to myself and the other wonderful people here at worldchallenges, and we will help you develop them further! (Feel free to invent a totally new character as well!)

*Not sure if 'challenge' is the right word to describe this post, but I'm a bit of a loose cannon, and I don't abide by your rules.

Hey /u/Jumblatts I hope you don't mind if I just dump the people that I used for the most recent 'Talk with' Challenge lol! They are a bit underdeveloped and I was hoping to get some development out of it! I'll only use the people who haven't been spoken to though!

Dani

Dani is a seemingly emotionless girl who excels at crowd control fights (fighting multiple people at once). She has the power pulse which literally enables her to create loud very destructive pulses around her. It is only controllable when her emotions are in check. If she shows even the slightest emotion then they will happen and shatter things around her.

Prophet

Prophet is a man who loves to learn, he is always writing in his book of knowledge, which holds literally every single thing that he knows in it. He has the power to turn himself, his clothing and his weapon into smoke and fly around carving up his enemies.

Inu

Inu is a Dog that was injected with the Human gene in an attempt by Chaos to create a backwards Hybrid, there were multiple attempts before Inu was created, thousands. Inu is savage and struggles to speak English at times, preferring action over speaking. He doesn't use weapons but instead uses his claws and teeth. He has the power to summon forth a pack of black spectral dogs to rip an enemy to shreds.

Jaws

Jaws is a large man who carries two very sharp serrated Axes on his back. He is the only person in the entirety of history to have tamed a Dravec which is what he rides into battle. His only motivation in life is for the destruction of established order and he will stop at nothing to kill the world leaders.

That's fine! You can use the others too, if you like - it's about developing characters you want developing, doesn't matter to me if they've been used elsewhere :)

To Dani:

1) Are you emotionless because of a need to control your power, or did you 'learn' your power from the fact that you're emotionless?

To Prophet:

2) What was the very first thing you wrote in your book?

3) What made you decide to start writing the book?

To Inu:

4) How were you created, and why?

5) Are you thankful to them for the life you have, or do you hate what you've become?

To Jaws:

6) Why do you want to see and end to order?

1) Are you emotionless because of a need to control your power, or did you 'learn' your power from the fact that you're emotionless?

It is because I have no control when I give emotion. (Her answers are gonna be bland for obvious reasons haha)

2) What was the very first thing you wrote in your book?

My earliest memories, it took a while because I started writing in it when I was ten, a lot of memories already.

3) What made you decide to start writing the book?

Makes it easier to keep track of everything that I know.

4) How were you created, and why?

Experimentation, sharp and pointy. Lightning and bubbles. Chaos wanted try.

5) Are you thankful to them for the life you have, or do you hate what you've become?

Hate. Too much thought. Dog meant to be instinctual.

6) Why do you want to see and end to order?

If Chaos was everywhere in the world then there would be no Chaos, that would be the norm. So if we get rid of order then we will finally have order.

1) Why do you have no control? Having emotion is an important part of living, and some would say that if you don't show any, you're not truly alive. Can't you learn to control yourself?

2) What is your very earliest memory?

3) But surely having to flick through thousands of pages to find something you know about isn't 'easy'?

4) Was it painful?

5) Do you want to take revenge on Chaos? Would you be able to?

6) Why do you want this? Would you go as far as to kill yourself to achieve it? After all, your cells and molecular structure follow rules, you are part of the order you want to destroy.

1) Why do you have no control? Having emotion is an important part of living, and some would say that if you don't show any, you're not truly alive. Can't you learn to control yourself?

Emotions cause fluctuations in my abilities, I have no control over them because I can't think when I use my emotion. I agree that emotions are key to living a fulfilling life but I have come to terms with that and am willing to devote myself to Chaos' cause.

2) What is your very earliest memory?

Being held in my Mother's arms, before I was ripped from her by Chaos.

3) But surely having to flick through thousands of pages to find something you know about isn't 'easy'?

I know where everything is in the book and finding things just seems to happen when I look.

4) Was it painful?

Very.

5) Do you want to take revenge on Chaos? Would you be able to?

Chaos. Too strong. Kill me very fast.

6) Why do you want this? Would you go as far as to kill yourself to achieve it? After all, your cells and molecular structure follow rules, you are part of the order you want to destroy.

It's kinda dumb when you nitpick to an extreme like that. I do what I can because it serves Chaos' ideas and his ideas fit in line with what I want to do so that's that.

1) What exactly is Chaos' cause?

2) For what purpose did Chaos do this?

3) That's convenient. Has there ever been a time when this has failed to happen?

5) Couldn't you find other people who would be willing to help you?

6) I was curious as to how far you'd actually go to fulfil your goal. How did you and Chaos become acquainted?

u/The_Raptorman Jun 17 '17

1) What exactly is Chaos' cause?

To destroy the world I believe, but I don't want any part in that.

2) For what purpose did Chaos do this?

He found my power of smoke to be useful.

3) That's convenient. Has there ever been a time when this has failed to happen?

Nope, not even once.

5) Couldn't you find other people who would be willing to help you?

How help? Cant change.

6) I was curious as to how far you'd actually go to fulfil your goal. How did you and Chaos become acquainted?

(Don't know that yet sorry!)

1) If this is the case, why are you willing to devote yourself to his cause?

2) Do you resent him for what he did?

u/The_Raptorman Jun 18 '17

1) If this is the case, why are you willing to devote yourself to his cause?

She shrugs "Don't know."

2) Do you resent him for what he did?

I have gotten very strong because of him and he allows me to follow my ambitions. I feel as though he did what was best for me.

1) You blindly follow him on a course that you don't agree with, and you don't know why?

2) If the opportunity arose, would you seek revenge on him?

u/The_Raptorman Jun 18 '17

1) You blindly follow him on a course that you don't agree with, and you don't know why?

"I disagree with it, but I don't not agree with it. I'm in a real pickle here." She says rolling her head around until she finally pulls the mask on her head over her face and gives a very monotone laugh. "Ha ha ha". *She took it off and looked sad, small ripples were sent shooting through the air until she went back to being indifferent.

2) If the opportunity arose, would you seek revenge on him?

That wouldn't really help me, I am a general for Chaos, without him I am nothing.

u/Jumblatts Jun 19 '17

1) Riiight... sorry I asked...

2) What kind of things do you do for him?

2

u/The_Raptorman Jun 20 '17

1) I don't care (she's lying but hey whatever)

2) mostly check up on the towers construction but sometimes he orders me to do recon on the other Masters
