WHERE THEY ARE NOW.

WHERE THEY WILL BE.

THE LIE.

Your character is incomplete on the inside. They are harboring some deeply held misconception about either themselves, the world, or, probably, both. So what is their lie?

THE GHOST.

The Ghost, Wound or Shard of Glass, is the singular event that caused the Lie for your character.

THE SECRET(S).

Your character's secret(s).

THE WANT.

Your character's personalized antidote to their Lie. Your character's Want is their goal, and it can change through the story, but there's typically going to be an overarching Want through the story for your character.

THE NEED.

How does your character need to change if they wish to acquire their Want?

THE 'WHAT THEY ARE IN THE DARK' SCENE.

A uniquely tempting situation in which your character is given the opportunity to do something they want to do - perhaps something scandalous, objectively wrong, immoral. Nobody who’s opinion they care about will ever know what they’ve done. Therefore, with this scene being their tipping point, this is where they either fall into becoming bad (re: negative arc) or get terrifyingly close to it.

IDEAS FOR LATER;

SO, WHICH ARC IS IT?

For the arc table above, pick one arc only for your character.

Below are examples for all arcs as to how you can expand on the arc points provided above. Keep in mind, you have your character's Lie, Want, Need, Ghost and Secret already above, so stating the lie is no longer required here and you may jump straight to the 'development'. Select one that you've selected above and work on it!
