Painful Character Development

Have some painful character development ideas, because if I have to suffer, so do you.

1. What would your character what their last words to be, and who would they want to say them to?
2. If your characters’ loved ones were in danger but they only had time to save one of their lives, who would they choose?
3. Your character is given the choice to either die an excruciatingly painful death or have one of their loved ones die in a painless way. Do they save their loved one’s life or their own?
4. Your character has the opportunity to fix one of their most grievous mistakes, but doing so will ensure that they never meet at least one of their loved ones and they will not have any memory of their relationship with those loved ones. Do they take the chance to fix the mistake anyway?
5. What are your character’s deepest regrets?
6. Are there any events in your character’s life that they feel wholly negative about, no silver lining whatsoever?
7. Does your character have any unfulfilled dreams that can never come true?
8. How was your character first introduced to the concept of death? How did they react?
9. Does your character have any negative associations with otherwise neutral or positive things–i.e., not liking a certain television show because their parents always argued during the time that it came on and the character watched it as a (failed) attempt to distract themselves.
