Yeah, stereotypes make for boring stories. You already know how it'll end, while it's challenging to come up with something new to explore. I draw my inspiration from several sources, but like ingredients that you can use for cooking, you can change some things around and create your own recipe with a new wonderful dish. ^_^<br/><br/>I'm currently writing an IC message from Carl's POV, it'll allow Sidonis' character to join us as well. I'm trying to create some conflicting motives in the group since that'll spice up the story a bit.<br/><br/>If you have a good idea of what you want your character to do next then it'd be fun to add it in.<br/><br/>I'm not sure what Wicca's chars want, but Ari's chars want to get out of the city, Sidonis wants to save Zeke, Caitlin wants to get out of the city through different means, or, if that fails, find a safe place to hideout and Carl is interested taking revenge on the zombies and getting his church back. When our characters end up with different motivations it'll create a real buzz and interesting group dynamic. Having only characters that want to make it out of the city could make the story a bit boring, so don't be afraid to pick something else you want your character(s) to achieve too. ;D
