A contest entry for Bucky's year's end contest: choose your own prompt II.
Play as Lord Robert, the baron of Rivellon, at the lowest point of his life. He's cheated on by his wife, betrayed by his liege and filled to the brim with a turmoil of conflicting emotions.
How does his life end?
Like Aeneas, we had been cast out of our home. We searched the galaxy for a new home, and like him, we found it and made it our own. We struggled and were battered by the harsh conditions. But now, both ready and willing, we will eclipse the legends of old.
Now we shall fight to reclaim what is rightfully ours.
FOR ENDMASTER'S CONTEST<, PRAISED BE THE LEGEND.
Liberia and Sierra Leone are small countries on the west coast of Africa. Like many African countries, the lands are extremely rich in natural resources and vibrant in culture.
However, in the 1980s the climate halted in corruption and mismanagement under the All People's Congress Party. With over 70% of the people barely capable of buying a single cup of rice, survival became much harder. Not trusting in the democratic process any longer, the RUF was formed to drastically revamp the economic system and redistribute the country's wealth. They fought for education, jobs, and true democracy. In the process, they pillaged the lands and cut off many limbs.
It is in these times Joshua Milton Blahyi is born, butt naked. And in these times he'll fight, butt naked. For he is:
General Butt Naked.

I went to medical school with an incredibly ambitious guy who was obsessed with collecting skulls; he'd do anything to get a head.

It takes some guts to be an organ donor.
We've already talked a bit about specific locations, but writing settings as a whole can be as important as writing characters. As a reader, at which point does a setting come to life? What settings have made a lasting impression and why? As a writer, where is your balance between depth and relevance?

My doctor told me I had blood type A, but it was a Type-O...
We've talked extensively about characters and dialogue. So let's talk about them some more! Character development is either a crucial part of the story or just something that's mostly redundant to the actual plot, depending on the person you ask. Do you even care about character development? Where on this spectrum are you? (Just this one specifically, please.) Do you have any tips on incorporating character development that doesn't feel either neglected or ham-fisted?

What book? MacBook!
Strong characters have always been at the very center of a well thought-out plot. Whereas before we talked about how many different characters you could fit in a story, this week I'd like to ask about how to make the characters come to life. How do you veer away from the stereotype cardboard people? How do you write an interesting character? How do you approach writing a character who by design doesn't have a strong personality? Do you base them off of real people? Why yes, or why dont you?
