Finding traits, conflict, personality through the elements & aspects of the Zodiac
Characters need to feel real to the reader. The reader has to be able to relate if we want them to keep reading.
The character has to touch us on a human level.
People have both good and bad qualities. A villain is not always a bad guy or evil in reality. He has his own story that powers his psyche and motivates his choices and actions.
Sometimes the villain thinks he is fighting for the right reasons. He is just as passionate about his cause and desires as the protagonist.
Maybe it is the law of duality that comes into play, they are both wrong and right. Sometimes the bad guy is not really a bad guy at all. The bad guy might just be someone in opposition to the hero’s agenda, both right with opposing desires.
