Types of Characters
Protagonist – This is the main character, around which the whole story revolves. The decisions made by this character
will be affected by a conflict from within, or externally through another character, nature, technology, society, or the
fates/God. Antagonist – This character, or group of characters, causes the conflict for the protagonist. However, the
antagonist could be the protagonist, who is torn by a problem within. Most times, something external is causing the
problem. A group of people causing the conflict would be considered society, perhaps the members of a team,
community, or institution. Additionally, the antagonist could be a part of nature, such as an animal, the weather, a
mountain or lake. A different kind of antagonist would be an item such as a pen, car, phone, carpet, etc. These are all
considered technology, since they are instruments or tools to complete a job. Finally, if the conflict comes from
something out of the character’s control, the antagonist is fate or God.

Foil – A foil is a character that has opposite character traits from another, meant to help highlight or bring out
another’s positive or negative side. Many times, the antagonist is the foil for the protagonist.

Static – Characters who are static do not change throughout the story. Their use may simply be to create or relieve
tension, or they were not meant to change. A major character can remain static through the whole story.

Dynamic – Dynamic characters change throughout the story. They may learn a lesson, become bad, or change in
complex ways.

Flat – A flat character has one or two main traits, usually only all positive or negative. They are the opposite of a
round character. The flaw or strength has its use in the story.
