i just realised the biggest way i make characters is when im making a protagonist i start by making them a villain, and vise versa when im making an antagonist i start by making them a hero
my basis for creating protagonists is to make them unlikeable, is to figure out why they would be villains if the story were reversed, and then focus my efforts on making the audience like them despite this
and my basis for creating antagonists is to make them likeable, to make them and their goals reasonable, to make them good people, and then to focus on twisting the narrative so the audience will view them as the villains
