  Fictional character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some 18th and 19th century texts, on the other hand, represent characters' names by the use of a single letter and a long dash (this convention is also used for other proper nouns, such as place names).
Minor characters, or stock characters, are often the focus of this kind of analysis since they tend to rely more heavily on stereotypes than more central characters.
The protagonist (main character, sometimes known as the "hero" or the "heroine") of a novel is certain to be a round character; a minor, supporting character in the same novel may be a flat character.

 SRFI 52: Permitting and Supporting Extended Character Sets
On the other hand, by making Scheme compatible with extended character sets, this SRFI is a step in the direction of permitting global text processing standard libraries to be developed in a form portable across all conforming implementations.
Yet for a character set containing the alphabetic character eszett (or "lowercase sharp S"), that requirement can not necessarily be satisfied in a pleasing way (if at all).
The numeric characters are the ten decimal digits.

Rotate a character to support or oppose a conflict (that it can participate in) and inflict 1 point of damage to a target participant character in that conflict (or 2 points if the character you rotated is Warrior Caste).

 Characters
For supporting characters it is important to consider their relationship to the main characters.
The character may react differently depending on the different situations the character is in, but it should still be clear how these different reactions can come from the same person.
Character growth can be subtle as in the case of Godai from Maisson Ikkoku whose overall personality doesn’t really change much from the beginning to the end of the anime, but he does seem to gain some maturity along the way.

Domcom: Character-Based Situation Comedies
The main character is not necessarily the pivot point of every plot: the supporting characters are central to the plot much more often than in an actcom.
The supporting characters in a domcom are the children, neighbors, friends, and the parents' co-workers (In domcoms of the 50s and 60s the wife rarely had a job that took her out of the house.
Other supporting characters in a domcom rarely have problems of their own for the family to resolve, but merely act as comic intensification and foils for the main characters.

 Hero Wars - Characters
If several characters have the same or similar backstories, that can be used to tie the group closer together--if they all hate the same clan, or served together in the same unit in the army, you can bring in characters from their past, even if they are not currently listed under "Relationships."
Supporting characters are individuals with whom the character has a relationship.
Supporting characters need not be intelligent; if you decide that your horse is important enough, you can treat him as a follower; you can describe your dog as a dependent, or your alynx as an ally.

Yes, the most successful and engaging movies are those where the characters seem to be in control of their own destiny, where every turn of the plot seems to derive from an element of their personality.
In GO, the theme is shouted by several characters in crucial moments: "GO!" Which means, "I don’t care which way you go, you have to go now!" In each of the three stories, characters get in way over their heads, but there’s never time to stop and think through to the best answer.
In fact, this kind of outline is helpful with any kind of story, because even if a script moves forward scene by scene, inevitably characters will refer to things that happened "earlier," and it’s important to make sure all these events could have happened in the sequence you propose.

 Lead Actor Versus Supporting Actor
In both films, the 3 main characters would be leads, and everyone else supporting because the movie revolves around all three characters.
Vincent Vega (John Travolta) is the main character in the first story, Bruce Willis in the middle story, and then in “The Bonnie Situation” I would say both Vincent and Jules are the main characters, because it centers around both.
I don’t think that’s quite a valid argument, but I think you could argue that Travolta’s character was the lead in more than one story, and Jackson’s character in only 1, therefore in the overall film, it makes Jackson a Supporting character.
