I think being realistic is being able to create a character that everyone (well, some people anyway) can relate to. I mean if you meet a foreigner you look at them and you see similarities with yourself and you see differences. If you aren't going to discriminate against them then you're going to relate to them through their similarities. Characters can be original but still be similar to everyone else's character. It's just like real life. There is no-one out there exactly like you. There may be some close contenders but at the end of the day you are you no matter what. |
