shouldn’t the impact characteristics be diagonally opposite the main character’s characteristics in the character build chart, not, as in my case, the antagonist’s characteristics? Getting very boggy down here in my den…
I’m not able to get enough information from your question to answer.
The Build Character (or Characteristics) window allows you to assign character functions to the players in the Overall Story (OS) throughline (the big picture part of the story). While the players that embody the MC and IC may be in opposing domains in their own throughlines, it is up to your discretion as the author to assign their players functions in the OS throughline. Your choice. The only exception to this is if you want to assign the MC Crucial element to the MC and the IC Crucial element to the IC. In that context they will appear as dynamic opposites. Otherwise how they relate to one another as players in the OS is up to you.
thankyou, both. i am digesting!
