Experienced writers know when a character is fully developed and when not. Many people are convinced that the character then develops a kind life of its own. In order to learn enough about the character that happens, there are many different ways. One of them I put before you in the following. . With this exercise, you can also develop entirely new characters
NI-NA-nackedei
Although it sounds odd: trying your character you naked present. Follow your intuition and it will answer following questions:
How has your character feels when he is naked?
If he is ashamed :
Why? Nudity is something very intimate. Maybe your character has something to hide? What could this be? Or perhaps he is afraid even from the eyes of others? Why? Is it important what others think of him? Why (not)? Is he always to himself and his words or does he sometimes things just to please others? In the latter case: In what situations he is doing and how far he would go there?
So you can shimmy up further and further along and develop your own questions .
If he runs around so like :
Why? Nudity is something very intimate, that carries your character to the outside. Where he takes this self-awareness? Are there exceptions to this self-awareness? Would he make, for example, for a Aktfotoshooting available? If no, where is the line? Get out your character in other people from the same view of intimacy, by the same limits? Does he know how to behave or is it sometimes brash, offensive? Maybe even on purpose? Why? What is its purpose?
Here you can always continue to shimmy forward and develop their own questions .
