What inspired your protagonist and what inspired their antagonists?

[Thraben]

Title is the only question. I'll go first:

My protagonist is heavily based on characters with a strong sense of drama (like Lelouch from Code Geass or King George III from Hamilton the Musical), mixed with a poetic and brutal sense of justice, plus a healthy dose of confident and consenual (but undeniably submissive) sexual energy.

His antagonists all mirror one or more of these things; Demons with no personality or reason, tyrants who ought to be made to suffer in ways befitting their crimes, and so on.

What's yours like?

 

[TheEldritchGod]

Love.
His deep and burning hatred for women.

The protagonist I made myself was inspired by an abandoned doll, given such predicament when oneself is rooted in place unable to wonder no one, though unless someone decided to take you in an adventure, you'll be there for the rest of eternity, watching as the world changes itself as you, yourself became part of it, not in the form you bear but in the form it decided to be.

The antagonist isn't the humanoid cliché, it was inspired by the unforgiving wrath of mother nature and the unpredictable chaos it beholds, so I made it wear that flesh, like the weather, it doesn't have the ill will of destruction it is simply is the destruction and those unfortunate below are simply there at its path of annihilation.

Anyway, I'm going to take a sh#t

Love. Life. Society.

KFC... bastards.

The antagonist is inspired by his own wrath and vanity, the protagonist is moved by duty

My protagonist is grey, veering between the dark and the light. Tracking through the meadows of the truth.
My antagonists are far and many, countable perhaps. You have to read my story to find out

I have multiple protag. And they have the same motives:

Keeping the things and stuff of the internet safe, including its inhabitants.

And the antagonist group has only one motive in my story since it's a fanfic of someone's work. They're not quite an antagonist, more like a mediator.

What they do?

Cause a catastrophic disaster, making dimensional rift to open by force, teleporting people to any other fandoms, just for the mastermind to publish a video about it on youtube cuz of collab with WideDoggy.

 

[TheTrinary]

My protgonists are based on my friend and I playing make beleive in the woods from age 10-13. Mixed with some Tom Sawyer/ Huckleberry Finn.

My antagonists are, both, mirrors to those protagonists in so much as they are the failed versions of the protagonists dreams, hope, beliefs. They were essentially the same until they gave up on those things that made the protagonists outright good. Thus becoming dirty dirty pragmatists.

 

[Nevafrost]

My dream.?
Yeah, I started writing about my characters based on my dream. And they are being pushed forward because of their curiosity.

 

[Rhaps]

I made my protagonist before I made the world.

She's essentially my love letter to humanity, it is a cruel species, illogical and prone to conflict. But despite all of that, even if it tries to destroy itself, from the beginning of civilization to today, it still persist. Her main themes are the Unrelenting Spirit of Rebellion and the Indomintable Human Spirit.

For antagonist, there are currently five but I'm only going to talk about one of them.

Romulus, the Progenitor of Civilization. He represent civilization, what humanity built and made throughout history. He want to protect it and every human, from the purest saint to the worst sinner, no one is the exception. What inspired me to write him? I'm a Romaboo. His main theme is the Preservation of Humanity, he's the Shirou Emiya of my story.

Me. Also Me. (I fight my own inner demons daily)

What Inspired my Protagonist... Honestly, the entire setting was created and expanded upon based on a lucid dream I had; I would say the Main character is very untrusting due to the events that happen at the start of the story, but she wants to be able to start trusting people again.

My Antagonist, there are a few major ones, but im going to mention the one that was created based off the lucid dream. This character is a tyrant, but he believes that he is the destined savior of his country and is searching for the one prophesized to deal with his countries tyrant so that he can train them up to help his people. All his actions are based off of searching for this prophesized savior.

Also, man, I haven't gotten any actual writing done for like 4 months.... I really need to get out of my rut but also life is so busy.

 

[CheertheSecond]

All of my characters are connected in a massive multiverse. Each of them serves a function for their story. It is hard to say what was the source for their creation.

 

[Sola-sama]

The expansion of Lebensraum.

 

[DaisukeHanashi]

Meritocracy, Technocracy, and Democracy

Fuck feudalism, communism, and capitalism!

 

[esThr]

For me my protagonist is inspired by well... me mostly because the type of character I know how to write best is well... me. For antagonists, theres a lot and more to write in but most of them are based on traumas and sins so ig theres that

 

[Bartend]

A terrible person that try to improve himself and a former good person that fall to darkside. For some reason I really like redeemed villain and fallen hero
