Writing Challenge: A Hero With a Twist

I'm going to have to ask everyone completing this challenge to be honest and not scroll down to see everything it entails until you have finished the first part.


PART ONE - The Hero

Create a hero. Using the Character Profile sheet below, outline your protagonist, give them a bit of history, personality, family, ideals, whatever you wish. You don't have to be too exhaustive; for now, just make enough of a character that you could comfortably place straight into a story.

Character Profile Sheet

Name:
Physical Description:
Skills (Weapons and/or Magic etc.):
Brief History:
Character Flaws/Weaknesses:
Character Strengths:
Personality:

Make your protagonist believable and multi-faceted. Give them something to believe in, someone to love, life goals to achieve. Once you have completed your character sheet, you may move on to the next part of the challenge. It's imperative that you do not look at the next part until you have finished the first part (don't ruin it for yourself!).








PART TWO - The Twist

You probably saw this coming!

Many times, it is too easy to make our villains one-dimensional characters with no redeeming features. Nobody is "just evil", nothing is a simple, dichotomous black and white. Every villain is actually the hero in their own story. Therefore, this protagonist you have just created is not going to be your protagonist at all - but your antagonist! The final part of this challenge is to write a short story or scene featuring your new villain. Post both your character sheet and the scene below!
