All this came out of four following books.

45 Master Characters

The Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes and Heroines

Bullies, Bastards And Bitches: How To Write The Bad Guys Of Fiction

The Power of the Dark Side: Creating Great Villains, Dangerous Situations, & Dramatic Conflict

I highly recommend the last two because these seem are the only two books written solely to help the writer create bad guys and how to understand them. Anywho, the next blog entry might be about how their past lives effect them in this story and don't worry I been working on their pasts lives for awhile now and I am planning on putting in the fic. So if you got any questions just ask or suggestions or ideas let me know. I have to keep my muse happy and feed those plot bunnies.
