Writing Prompts | 5 Fictional Characters You Need to Know About for Your Own Writing Prompts
George Baily from (It’s a Wonderful Life)
What a classic. Every year this movie gets played in the homes of many Christmas lovers.
What do you need to know about George Baily?
His depth of character. We see George as a grumpy old sod on the outside, but time and time again no matter what hardships come his way he does what’s right for others and sacrifices his own desires.
Readers love a character that is self-sacrificing.
Jason Bourne (Bourne Movies)
Jason Bourne is a vigilante. We love him because he’s smooth and suave, but he’s also a mystery.
Characters that come into his life are constantly in mortal danger, but with Bourne, they feel safe.
He’s a protector and savior, but he’s also a killer.
This man is deadly and can kill most anyone he sets his mind to, but he helps the weak always.

Peter Quill (Guardians of the Galaxy)
Peter is a pig of a man, but when the poop hits the fan you’ll wish he was on your side.
He’s mostly a joke at all times until lasers start flying out of ships then he’ll save your life.
Audiences love this type of character because they seem not to take themselves as seriously as others.
Spiderman
Peter Parker is loved because he has two personalities.
He’s a loser nerd on one side and a crime-fighting mastermind on the other.
These personalities play well together for readers because readers love the idea that something inside them is secretly capable of coming out and saving their world.
Aside from being able to laugh at peter, he is also extremely vulnerable with the audience form the start.
Make your character vulnerable yet strong and your reader will eat that up.
Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Everyone loves Darth Vader, but why?
He’s evil and not that interesting as far as he shows up kills people, is always mad, and then walks away.
But for some reason, we root for him and want him to be good.
This is because he plays the father figure.
Give your reader a father figure that we all can look up to in a weird way even if they betray us a couple of times and every time they turn back and look like they are going to do good and love us, we will take the bait hook, line, and sinker.
Give your reader a father figure.
Study these fictional characters and ones like them to give yourself good writing prompts to work from.
Get your own ideas about character types and how you want to introduce your character at first and how you want your audience to feel about them as you write.
Throw them a curveball with betrayal and later forgiveness.
Most of your characters should be capable of doing good acts and evil acts.
Hopefully, you can use these characters and ones like them to make dynamic characters of your own.
Hope this helps!
Happy writing!
