Your plot works. Your characters don’t. That’s an underbelly problem.
Seven questions that turn a trope into a person: want vs. need, the wound, the contradiction, the never-admit, the justification, the cost, the mirror. Answer them for each major character and the costume gets an interior.
Inside: the seven questions and why each one matters, a worked example that runs an immortal vampire through all seven, the trope test for telling two characters apart, and a fill-in worksheet you can print.
Free. Four-page PDF. Checkout asks for an email so the download link has somewhere to go.
