MC/IC Resolve Confusion
Posted: Jun 11, 2008 1:28 pm
I'm getting confused about character resolve in a Guy (MC) meets Gal (IC) Fixed Attitude OS currently under development.
As things stand at the beginning of the story the two characters are on the same life-path and hit it off physically, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually -- both appearing to have a steadfast resolve initially (rather un-Dramatica-like, I know). However, after a short while the IC notices something serious missing in the way she and her beau see the world. So she adjusts/grows during the story to venture after this missing ingredient -- struggling throughout to bring her partner, who is a bit slow to see the possibilities, along with her.
What's the IC resolve? Steadfast? And what of the MC? I think he'll come around, but not sure, yet. Does the choice of IC resolve effect the MC resolve? How so?
Thanks.
