Character Roles
Roles are central to the way in which your
character experiences the world, grows and develops. A
role is like a map or a set of guiding parameters defining
a particular type of life path: Historian, Artist, Criminal,
Healer, Educator, Politician, Warrior, Builder, Poet, Herbalist,
Revolutionary, Peacekeeper, Gardener, and very many others.
Roles define what skills are available to a character,
what they need to do to learn and use those skills, the kinds
of items they're able to employ, the kinds of experiences
they're likely to have or not have.
There are a handful of Roles online today. It's a high priority for
us to complete the first dozen or so.
Estimated date of completion:
unknown

"The space of a fictional world is a construct, just as the characters and objects that occupy it are, or the actions that unfold within it. Typically, in realist and modernist writing, this spatial construct is organized around a perceiving subject, either a character or the viewing position adopted by a disembodied narrator. The hetertopian zone of postmodernist writing cannot be organized in this way, however. Space here is less constructed than deconstructed by the text, or rather constructed and deconstructed at the same time. Postmodernist fiction draws upon a number of strategies for constructing/deconstructing space, among them juxtaposition, interpolation, superimposition, and misattribution."
--Brian McHale,
