I thought to put this in Fan Writing, as well as General Discussion....but it seems more of an Entertainment thread to me.
Throughout the various forms of writing, storyboarding, and story telling, people have considered characters to be good/bad based on how and if they develop overtime. There have been diverse terms thrown about, and one I hear quite often nowadays is that of the flat character - a character who is essentially one-dimensional and does not change. Most consider flat characters to simultaneously be bad characters, assuming they aren't placed in any manner that creates 'good' context.
I personally believe the opposite, that a character needn't change, needn't obtain more wit or possessions or any of that in order to be a good character. What say you?
