Character Building

A character building improve session helped confirm what we've been told about complex characters and how they help improve and, make the story. Physically acting out our character helped us understand the dimensions of our characters as an actual person, with feelings and motives. This helped us realize that our character development cannot just be impulsive but it needs the characters to have motives and reasons why behind it.
If it's any character that needs the most development it is Jude he is a fairly main character and needs more depth behind him. The only background on him is that he comes from Yorkshire, a big family, and not much wealth. His personality is very suave, out-going, and caring, yet there is no explanation, no motives, other than him being the oldest. Something to add to him is that since he is the oldest that made him very helpful.
Charles is very well understood because of his traumatizing childhood with the death of his mother, and absurd father. His low-self esteem and great intelligence will be explained through out the story since he is telling the story.
Nigel the Father of Charles was a veteran and lost his leg, him wanting Charles to be a man is also pretty well established. His lack of emotional coping is pretty well established with the death of his wife.
Lesley is very happy go lucky, but very serious when it comes to her work, because of her brothers death in World War II. Her character is very basic but will be well projected.
