Creating a Fictional Character does not have to be a difficult task. Simply take a look at someone around you. Identify their underlying motives and the resulting common behaviors and interactions. Identify similarities existing between that person and physical objects. Exaggerate the behaviors already existing add some of the descriptors of objects they resemble and .... Bingo!
Most brilliant is the character that requires no exaggeration at all, these are the people that allow us all to draw the lines between this world and the next. Sometimes the comparison is the character.
The Most Recent Character Creation - The Douche.
Douche = Reality of Behavior
It’s always clean = popular, always smiling…
Great at cleaning things out of the system and comes out smelling clean = Excellent delegation skills, nothing left on the plate, free to frolic about…
It covers up foul odors while delivering things from A to B flawlessly. Picking up and swiping everything along the way during the torrential flow. This often creates an unwanted side effect, i.e. sperm meets egg and uh-oh, sorry kid you’re a mistake. = Lacks the foresight to see or possibly even to care for the future. The flaw remains in essence, shortsighted in areas beyond personal ambition, never actively providing new ideas or driving business, but unexecuted and stolen ideas commonly appear as wins on status and review forms.
To recap, in the end the foul odor has not been removed but covered for a short time. = Good show, no results.
