• How is Character Development worldbuilding?
  • Characters are both tool for you story to unfold. They are also tools for how you share your worldbuilding with people you interact with.
• How does this normally fit into my style of worldbuilding?
  • Formally
  • Reality
• This is not the normal top-down approach I prefer. However, it is realistic to how my mind works
• Does this need to be deeper than the meta development?
  • When should it
  • When it should not be?
• 2 Levels to character development
  • The Surface view
  • The Character Creation AKA GURPS meets Robert Jordan. Or Harper Lee… (insert author here)
  • From the Meta to the Detail
• Goal of the season
  • Create the main antagonist(s) and the protagonist(s)
  • Generic Priest, Warriors for both sides and farmer for the frogs
  • Later season we will work backwards to the cultures
