Memorable characters have clear desires, meaningful flaws, distinct voices, and undergo transformation. Give them contradictions — strengths that become weaknesses and vice versa. AI can help explore these depths.
Relatable characters have universal emotions, recognizable struggles, and authentic reactions. Readers don't need to share experiences — they need to recognize feelings. AI can help find those universal threads.
Subvert expectations by combining unexpected traits, giving depth to archetypes, and drawing from real people. AI can help brainstorm fresh combinations and identify tired tropes you might be using.
Real people can inspire characters, but transform them enough to avoid recognition and legal issues. Take core traits then fictionalize everything else. AI can help you remix and transform inspiration.
Know everything, reveal selectively. Your character needs enough backstory to motivate their actions — but readers only need what affects the story. AI can help determine what stays in your notes vs. on the page.
