Putting a character in a society; some (random) components to make one.
Overall personality and behaviour.
Majority following a main stream and some breaking it. (More like common cultural trend and fashion.)
Social ethics (not necessary but depends).
Dominant religion (not necessary but depends).
Popular people / respected people and the opposite. (More like classes; then the relationship b/w them.)
Food (not necessary but...).
Stereotypes.
Problems (now this is important).
You must have heard a lot that what you do at the start of the day is important, well, they are not kidding. I gained a bit on the belly from sitting too much. I tried to make it go away by exercising but did not see much effect in 2 weeks. I started pulling my stomach in for 10 sec twice every morning and withen a week... BAM. My waist is concave.
A story -what I believe- is a very abstract thing. It can be shaped/boiled down/interpreted in anyway depending on how you see it. Literature teachers -what I see- teach it like it’s something concrete, fact based. It’s not.
Knock Knock... Oh! It’s Optimism!
Waking up, I open my phone to find out that I have about 100 messages. Almost all of it was from a chat group. Almost all of it was from 2 people bickering about something with someone. And a message from my friend and group member:
She: Those twins are so annoying! Me: :P She: Seriously dude, I was like this -> -_-“ After reading their texts. Me: Well, you’ve got to give them credit for not being afraid to sound stupid. They were like this all the time during high school. Asking and saying all the stupid stuff out loud. She: LOL you sure are optimistic today. ;D Me: Optimism knocks on my door sometimes. >.> She: :O
And I perfectly feel that way. I try calming that group with my casualness, agree with one of the twins’ suggestion which was cleverly sarcastic -which I think they did not get- and not even mind an annoying message by an annoying someone at all. I think I am in a very rare cool mode today. Maybe I become positive after I am really stressed out from everyday… or after meeting an accident but somehow leave uninjured just shocked and then be like it’s a perfect time to walk all the way to the market and do all the things I have in mind then resume my classes that are till 4 pm. Either way, my optimism is like those ’I’m too important’ friends who completely forget about you for months and then suddenly drop one day to your house and stay half the day like they are your best friend and it is their home too.

I just realized how much of a chameleon I am towards my environment.
Listening to Aion’s Forgotten Sorrow
younger me: Imagines a sick princess -declared going to die- looking outside the glass wall where she has never been. The princess runs away from home, travels towns and places, learns how world works, helps people in need, dodges her father’s guards and struggles her way in her sickness to the world’s edge. She dies lying peacefully before the beautiful view of the edge, remembering her life journey.
me now: Looks like some princess is being dramatic over her prince’s death.
Achievement unlocked so far...
Got Notice Me Senpai some time ago. No regrets. #SQUEEEEEE :D
Advisers are like...
Me: How do I solve this up?
Them: You know you should do this-
Me: Oh I know that one but...
Them: -then you should do this-
Me: I said I know this.
Them: -it will help it this way if-
Me: I Said I Know!
Them: -just don’t overdo the-
Me: I. Already. Know. This.
My friends like to go to Mcdonalds, Pizzahut and CCD but I think I would enjoy stopping by an open snackbar early in the morning when the road is empty and uncleaned. Then pretend there is no one in the world except of me and this snackbar. It will be like a dream.
Why worry that you are losing control? God is the one who controls.

Simple Innocent People Follow The Path Of ’Obvious Acts’.
Five friends gathered in a house. The awesome and fun host talked about absolutely anything and yet made everyone cry in laughter. Two on one couch exchanged the witty remarks; two on another couch sat back and listened. Then the host focused on the two smiling mutes. “And you are one innocent person sitting there,” she said, “and brought along another innocent person with you.” The two kept smiling.
Though the brought along innocent person wondered what made the two of them on the couch there different from the other two on the other couch, talking with the host, who talked like the world can never own them because they will just laugh at it and walk away. I mean, they all were in the same class, same kind of lifestyle, same kind of company, almost same everything as almost can be. The thought wandered about through the memories. They had gone to someone’s funeral one day. Yes, shocking it was. The daughter was the five’s friend. Then something struck our innocent person. The behaviour. While our innocent person expressed how terrible it was, that the daughter should be strong, offer help and all that which was expected from one to do and many others did. Her witty friends -still on a different couch in present- did none of that. They engaged her with class progress, joked to distract and jumped around taking charge of food and water. The daughter eventually smiled sometimes then.
Simple people do what is obvious, which often never gives any result while smarter people are over it. They talk and act that avoids the simple path of obvious. Observe it around you. Where a simple guy will act shocked when someone insults them, smart guy will make the person look stupid. Simple guy will say, “Nice weather today.” Smart guy will say, “Today is a nice day for the sun to stalk us.” Simple guy will act depressed from stress and a smart guy will look cool even he’s feeling like hell. In other words the smart guy is a duck.
Then our innocent person sought to be not so simple and innocent anymore. It was not fun that way.
Repeating Industrial Revolution Era. This Time It’s The Education System.
So, we’re going through the first half of it, alright. We’re here where it’s new. The world is getting educated and it’s great because this is what should have happened ages ago for world peace and rationality.
No sign of recognizing the signs that we are creating a society where everyone’s decision process is the same, yet. No sign of the strengthening of a monarchy -we are making again- where the minority of toppers stays on top of the social hierarchy, average commoners spanning everywhere below them and the failure peasant turning rebels or suicidal because they suffer more than anyone, yet.
And when we finally recognize how destructive and stiff this thing we have created is -like the irreversible pollution- it is too late to recover without scar. I guess it’s human nature.
The truth is that people don’t like changes. They kill such a person before listening to what he has said.

Prompting
STEPS
1) Get inspiration. (music, drawing, photography, movie/tv show/comic element you liked, etc.)
2) Invoke one or two or more emotion/feeling/sense. (I say this is important because story is facts without it. Even action requires emotion of excitment.)
3) Create a motion to it and write whatever comes to your mind. (Don’t forget to see if it is capturing that sense you initially wanted.)
EXAMPLES
Sense: Determination, flying (freedom)
Neco will prove that she can use the Airbuster. Standing knees bent before the chasm of the factory, she closes her eyes. It’s your will. It’s your duty. She shots up and takes a run for the leap. She jumps and the glaring lights circles below shifts themselves to form lines. The jets on her hip explode into motion and she scurries through air. Yes. Just keep the balance. Keep flying straight. Intruder alarms turn on. Shooters fire. Neco swings past the plasma lights all pinned in her direction. Careful. Careful ah... There are shooters firing from her altitude! Got to rise higher. The metallic blocks around her slowly shrink in view. Boom. One side jet shot. "Ah!" Neco reaches for her protective plasma to form a ball around. But where is it? She cannot find it! She is falling a hundred feet to the ground without any protection. A ball appeared anyway. Not hers. The ray source was coming from a something she cannot see what. "Are you ever careful about your life, Student Neco!" A voice boomed. Her teacher. "If you practice in these areas so carelessly, I will mark you a failure already."
Feeling: Wonder, betrayal
I open my eyes and find myself floating inside a tunnel. I panick, hands flailing, and rotate around myself to look where I am. Yellow light flaring from unknown source, this tunnel looks like an endless going building closing around in a big tube. What is this place? How did I get here? Oh right, Screven pushed me here. That bastard. He had to have me go through things like this. And he did not even come to guide me. Oh my... I dodge a couple of debris flying in my way and look at them as they pass by. I check myself if I have incurred any injury while my consciousness was out. Head. Okay, hair still tide in pony. Shirt untattered. Jeans intact. Boots still on. Good. I don’t know where I have to land or if I will land automatically so I just swing my limbs to what resembles a swimming motion and speed myself up. This place is nothing like I have seen. Monotonous scene but amazing. It feels so weird floating like this. Should I try jumping into those hollow windows? I don’t think I should risk anything right now. Not until I get sick of floating like this. This is all your fault, Screven. Wait, I think it’s the end of the tunnel. Yes, finally. I pass out of it into what turned out to be a same but bigger tunnel. Aw what?! Wait, there are people here. I am not sure if they belong to the world I am familiar with. They seem to be wearing shirt and pants from here. Some of them enter into the buidling windows and go somewhere through them. And now I am alone again. Maybe I should too. I twist to look around again. This is huge and the there many more smaller tunnels attached like from I have come from. I might get forever lost but I have no other option. This place full of rumbles is not quite safe to wait forever. There, one of the nearest black empty window which my hunch says is right. I float there, closing and enter it.
