What is the story?
In fiction is the story of the character's history. It is the life of the character that occurred before the story. Backstory is the basis on which the writer knows his character as closely as you know your child, a lifelong friend or wife. The main characters usually have very detailed stories, while stories for secondary characters can be more general. The people we knew and the events we have undergone well and bad, shape our emotional and intellectual characters. They help define our skills, challenges and especially our choices. Creating the main fictitious figure, which is believable and convincing, requires that they give this character such a history - a biography that includes every main event and influence that affects the character.
Although the story can take as much work as the story itself builds, it usually does not appear in the story. Inside We see the effects of the story by watching the act of the character and responding to the events. It is much easier for the writer to create a conspiracy with the main afterConditions that were fully developed because the characters' actions will be consistent in the context of their stories.
The writer could start a story for a particular character with the parents of the character or even ancestors. Was the child born out of marriage at a time when it was taboo? Was the character received? Twin? Part of a large family? If so, was the youngest, oldest or middle child? Perhaps he was in foster care, an orphanage or vice versa, born to the royal rank. All aspects of social education appear in the story, including where and when the child was born, a financial, social and political environment and education, or its lack.
If you want to illustrate the power of the story, consider a character that is a rhythm in the inner city district, the present. We call him an officer Williams. Suppose we are watching an officer Williams who performs his patrol vehicle in the middle of the night to get closer to the group MGrassic men in gang colors and threw himself in front of alcohol trade. Men watch the cop approaching, one of them stretched into his jacket to remove something. It can be a weapon or maybe a mobile phone. The officer sees, but how does he react?
The answer is in his story. Williams officer was brought up on these streets? Does he know these young men? Do they share the same racial background? Was he ever victims of gang violence? Or is Williams officer on these streets fish out of the water? Midwest transplantation? If so, is naive and trustworthy or prejudice and too suspicious? In every idea and movement of the character, there are countless factors, each of which runs on their unique story.
in sci -fi, where the settings are often the main character, the stories of might to be more generalized. This allows the reader or audience to identify more with the character as they travel around this strange world and take the viewer with them. Action heroes are also generally less developed because the attraction of the genre itself is the action of the verseswith the development of characters. This does not mean that the story is missing or insignificant.
Often, the villains also have a limited story, set up so that they are simply foils on the main character. Slasher Films usually contain a free psychopath whose only real requirements are blood lust, talent to escape, and a trick that separates it from other slashes. However, there are also highly developed villains, including the detectively distinguished Dr. Hannibala Lecter of the silence of the lambs , (based on the novel Thomas Harris), Darth Vader George Lucas of Star Wars and J.K. Rowling's Voldemort of Harry Potter Fame.
Backstory is time consuming, but it is an essential part of Builuding a solid figure that is faithful to life and will ring the faithful audience or readers. Backstories can also be written for places or settings such as the city, school, residence, planet or universe. The better you know the world in which your story takes place, the more authentic it will be for others.
