I’m Not The Only One With This Problem Right?…

PART 1 HERE

It was early, sleep was almost impossible since you ran into a certain someone the other day, so you decided to get a head start on your day as you made your way to the front yard to grab the morning paper. Coffee at hand, and in a slight daze, you sighed as you reached down.

“Hey.”

Startled, you looked up, finding the last person you would have thought to be walking through your neighborhood.

“Jax?” You asked looked out past him, “I didn’t hear you pull up.”

He squinted against the early rising sun, “Yeah I parked down the block, didn’t wanna wake your folks.”

You looked back at the house, hoping they were indeed still asleep, “Thanks.”

Character Strengths and Related Flaws

So, we all know the drill. When you’re creating a character, you want them to be balanced. Your character should have both strengths and flaws. You’re not making a perfect person, nor are you making a complete monster.

However, sometimes you can find yourself just going for a random assemblage of flaws, as if picking them out of a hat. That’s one way to go about it, but I think the much better way is to look at the strengths you’ve given your character, and see what flaws may correspond to them, what characteristics are often found together. For example:

Adaptable

Definition: able to adjust to new conditions

Flaws: overly compliant, blindly obedient

Adventurous

Definition: willing to take risks or to try out new methods, ideas, or experiences

Flaws: rash, foolhardy, takes unnecessary risks

“I can’t believe it,” Vex said, glaring at Brynjolf across the tavern. 

He grinned at her and leaned back in his chair as he filled his mug with mead. “I knew she’d come through,” he said. “Never doubted her.”

“Not that,” Vex sighed. “I mean, yeah, pretty impressive - but what I can’t believe is that you had a plan all along to get those payments, and you kept it up your sleeves so you could use it as a damn test!”

“Aye, but it worked, didn’t it, lass?” he pointed out, and paused to drink deeply from his cup. “And we’ve got all the payments.”

“Yeah, yeah, your new girl’s real impressive,” Delvin agreed, sitting down next to him. 

“Hush, Delvin,” he replied lightly, and laughed. “Look, both of you, I’m telling you - she’s the one. She’ll turn our luck around and we’ll finally start to see things looking up around here. I’m certain of it.”

“Well, you’re looking up, at least,” Vex said, and he thought he saw a hint of a smile on her face before she turned away.

“Give it a few days,” he told her. “You’ll see. Things are about to change.”
