I just began writing one of those spontaneous stories that just pop out of my head. The main character is a thief, and i have to justify his strange action. That is, getting deliberately caught.
The thing is, my character is a rebel who likes to make trouble, and he steals an item of power in order to send a sort of message to the king. ( the kind of message that says 'haha, here I am, f u, you can't even prove I'm a thief). It ticks a lot of people off, especially the monarch. (who the protagonist knows personally.)
The thing is, my protagonist is exactly the cocky, over confident sort of guy to be able to pull it off. But I don! Know how to make him seem.... I don't know. Less petty? He has a powerful motivation behind the theft (greater good, yadda yadda) but this scene is early into the story, and although I do want to explain his character in more deph, I'm just not sure how to pull this off and make it right. Any advice?
