If written well, a single character can win the hearts of an audience and become something of a living entity to them. The characters are the heart and soul of any story. A game could have top of the line graphics and amazing concepts behind it, but if the player cannot feel invested in or connected to at least one character, they may lose interest. Any good story, be it in a book or on the television screen, needs to make some kind of connection to its audience and make them feel invested in it. I understand the struggle to not only compile a storyline that not only makes logical sense in the confines of a fictional setting, but also to make that storyline mean something to an audience. I know the hard work and thought that goes behind even the minor characters. I suppose I have a unique perspective when it comes to gaming.

Hearing stories and sharing stories, enjoying characters and creating characters, laughing and crying at plots and stories created and creating them myself is a joy that little else can compare to. I am addicted to fiction and I seek to both enjoy the creativity of others and express my own creative energy at any given opportunity. Some ships will never sink… Along with being a gamer, I am an artist, a writer, and a role-player.
