Spit is Death

Always be aware of your message.

Characters often struggle with the body vs. soul.
The body or "animal self" is lazy and self seeking
The soul is the "spirit self" it focuses on the mind, giving and aspirations

I would much rather read about someone who thinks about others and how his actions affect the rest of the worlod than someone who only cares about people when it can benefit him.

Characters vs. Characterization
characters are revealed once they are put into situations that involve pressure
characterization focuses on the exterior and clichés
with characterization there is no internal development the character is judged mostly by outward appearance and the audience has no insight into what drives them or makes them tick
