Hey,
I have this one idea. I want to write it as a television show, meaning I would have room to developed more characters and the main character.
The story centers around this character named Anthony, and he moves to a small town or a new town. He moves there mainly because he bullied a classmate to suicide and he is the one held most culpable. After this event happens, the entire school blames him, and he is outcasted.
I wanted it to be a story about him dealing with his guilt and growing from his regrets.
The biggest problem I have so far is that I am unsure on a specific goal for this character.
Backstory
To give some background, he isn’t a malicious psychopath. He bullied his victim by using his sharp humor and wit to make fun of him because Antony is insecure about being skinny and nerdy looking, and he finds that he can obtain popularity and status through his humor rather than his size.
He makes fun of this guy or maybe his friends too because he wanted to avoid the possibility of being made fun of from the group or popular kids (they don’t have to be popular kids, but they should have status) that he befriends.
The television show would center his new life around these knew kids with the burden that he drove someone to death. Any plot ideas from here? I think the biggest issue is that I don’t really have a goal for him.
I don’t know what to do with the plot from here. Maybe he meets someone who reminds him of the guy he bullied. Give him a love interest? Have a moment in the story where his history comes back to haunt him? Also I was thinking that maybe this is only an aspect of his story and not revealed until the halfway point and make it about a guy who wants to do good but only reveal that it is to make up for what he did wrong later on in the narrative?
