Ok for the first, what do you mean by "active" tho ?
its mean the charachter still relevant to the story
Why is this an important parameters of charaterization ? Where does this impact the characterization of the protagonist ?
Same thing, why not. But why is this important for the storytelling in term of characterization ?
Charachter who get emphasis in their arc have a chance to be SHP, if they get emphasis in their saga they have even bigger chance. charachter is important therefore they get charachterization, in.that.order.
This is over complicated for no reasons.
Nope its perfect already, i dont ask you to change your pillar so i ask you to do the same
Do you, for example, consider something that is happening in real time, a "background" story ?
- Why must one or more people be injured or dead ?
Why would the presence of a strawhat impact the story of the potential strawhat ?
I answer this together, death of the loved one/many/things are strongest motivation someone can have. and all shp have at so i put it in my list, for the real time back ground story, it tied to the third question, shp are supposed to be the liberator or savior of your “FAV”,the “background story” can happen in the past(like nami and her mom) or current ( like vivi and her dad) notice both have no shp presence? if they presence and unable to stop it ( like carrot and her mentor) that mean Shp failed to do what they supposed to do. therefore carrot not gonna join.
hypothetical: imagine if luffy defeat arlong but nojiko and pinwheel man still die in prosses. nami wouldnt be join.
Why ? Do you have proof that the dreams of the strawhats can only be fulfilled by following Luffy ?
i answer all dream related question in one go, cause that how shonen work.if not that would be boring, sanji can go work at baratie until someone “find all blue” and then he go visit, why bother to go pirating? cause that how shonen work.
BUT You also must explain why this is important in term of characterization and not just say random rules that could seems arbitrary at first.
I completely agree with that but again, explains why this is important.
its something you ignoring cause you are “writer”. its called visual charachter design and merchandising, to develop intelectual property for bussines and marketing. once you touch that teritory you would understand that Design visual> story and charachterization
Fair. But this is again related to uniqueness, those three previous point should be reunited under one specific point with sub parameters.
no. cause they are very different
Why is this important in term of characterization ? SOmetime the repetition of a design may be actually helpfull and not detrimental to the character's characterization. For example, the design of Yamato helps us understand her dream and characterization more in relation to Oden. This is therefore a very good design. So this point seems problematic.
if you not wanna make a side charachrer its okay,but main charachter sould be original.period.
No, not really no. Can you clarify this point a bit more please ? The presence of randomness is actually helpfull to surprise the reader, not the opposite.
no its battle shonen, their fight should be interesting to see, any inconsistent and randomness only work for side charachter
example: what if naruto jutsu all revolve around sexy no jutsu? would it be fun to see?
idont need to explain anything, my checkbox system all based on yes no question for what all straw hat have without need to look at subtext or anything that can be seen have multiple meaning by different people.
you logiko put a lotta thing in charachterization, but you forgot manga is not novel, mangaka put a lot effort in charachter design and go to charachterization based on it. not in reverse. charachterization can be changed anytime but visual design once it out cant be changed easily. here an example how mangaka work:
- oda make premise of alabasta
- decided the key story, chara, and world design in the story
- make a bunch charachter design concept for it
- try to trim,fix,mix and match
- finishing the charachter design
- start the stories
in .that. order
oda not draw ms wednesday and think she will be a good princess after laboon. he already decided she will be the princess before ms. wednesday debut
if oda want carrot join,he not gonna design carrot so bland like that. end of story
if oda want yamato join, he not gonna design yamato like some deviantart OC.
im not gonna go dissect your pillar but dont try to make connection beetwen your pillar and my checkbox or imply i make mine based on your. or you will meet my lawyer in your local court. heheheh
