Title: Module 5 Instructions Notes - Read First
Course: IN 162 Game, Storyline and Character Development > Section: Module 5

This week you will focus on the characters that are Not your main!

You will need to develop them considering their relation to the main character as well as the other characters in your story.  You must include information on:

- Where they are located. i.e. city, shop and etc.
- Their "job"
- Relatives
  - Spouse
  - Children
  - Others and etc.
- How are they connected to the other characters
- Where are they from
- Just any information really...

This is a huge process for this week for a few reasons.  The planning of a character is so much more than just giving them a name and a task. We have to know who the really are... how are they connected to others, what do they do, what do they need and etc.  You may not think of it off hand but for instance... if you have a blacksmith he is probably married with a child or two so he is naturally connected to them.  BUT... he may need to get his smelting metal from another person, so he is also connected to them. Yes, it's not the same type of connection, but still... connected.

This will be a story so to speak, but also a guide of where everyone is and why and how etc. Write it in a logical fashion that describes the areas as you are someone looking in... what do you see and what have you heard about them etc.  When planning, know their "travels", see that they have connections everywhere.

You will need this for the next two weeks assignments as well!  They build on one another!!!
