Description
Design anti-hero character arcs that walk the line between protagonist and antagonist, with moral ambiguity, audience sympathy management, and redemption or fall trajectories.
Instructions
Choose a genre to set the story world. Moral code defines the anti-hero's personal rules. Arc trajectory determines whether they fall or rise. Sympathy mechanism is the primary tool for keeping the audience invested. Thematic question gives the arc intellectual weight. For prestige TV-style anti-heroes, use a fall arc with competence-based sympathy. For redeemable anti-heroes, use a rise arc with vulnerability-based sympathy.
