(e.g. Thorne implied that he sold his soul when he signed the Merchant's parchment in blood in the story "Isle of Fire".)Mackenzie A.

Kearn in The Door Within Trilogy is a good example of an evil character turned good. <br /><br />But as for making it clear that the character WON'T be turned... Hm. You could have the main good character assume that he/she cannot be turned, but, of course, as you said, there is an option. You don't necessarily need for the character to recognize that there is a possiblity of the villain being turned.<br /><br />Wow, good question. I might just write a post on this.Jakehttp://teenagewritingrocks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301712379976680355.post-17696619579723844532010-04-15T14:25:54.035-05:002010-04-15T14:25:54.035-05:00Well this is my first comment, and I just finished...Well this is my first comment, and I just finished reading your post. <br /> Here is a question for you, if your vilian is human and has good and bad in him but the is over powering the good then that means that their is still some good in him then that allows an option for the good guys in the story to say 'There is a chance we can turn him'. My question is how do you make sure that you make it clear that the in the man cannot be turned back to goodness?Archernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301712379976680355.post-60834116806333160252010-04-15T11:03:41.810-05:002010-04-15T11:03:41.810-05:00Sweet post!
