Well, I need some ideas on obsessions characters would have.
I tried to find this, indexed, in tvtropes but I couldn't find it (if someone know where to find it, please tell me! )
So far I only have several examples, which are the common ones found in many works:
- The gamer.
Characters who is a game freak, who play games all day, talk about games all day, and think about crafting/levelling/finding rare items when they found themselves bored in their daily work/routine.
Uses many game reference when talking or thinking, friends with other gamers, and would rather get this super rare sword than going to their sister's wedding.
- The playboy.
Always checks out every female that moves. If he's the main character, the plot would be heavily motivated by the presence of girls. Easily leads to sexual remarks, but not always.
- The mad scientist.
There's a trope I found in tvtrope, which is listed under character motivations: For science. The nerd, does things for science, likes science, would even go as far as inventing a way to create their preferred air to breathe, maybe. Plot advancements approved by this types of character would be anything related to science and robotic/biological/metaphysical improvements or the likes.
That's all I can think of.
I'm sorry if the title or the term I used (character obsession) sounds misleading. I just don't know how to exactly define this, which may be the reason why I can't find it in tvtropes.
Character traits? Character addiction(unfortunately this one leads to caffeine/alcohol related)?
So, yeah. Any other inputs? It's for this main character I have, in this novel that's written in 1st person. Somehow I feel this MC is not yet...alive. The fact that he's an angel, and that the universe is medieval-ish, the game, playboy, and scientist one wouldn't really fit. Even the fact that he's an angel itself already limits my choice from anything a human would be obsessed with.
