      Each arc includes a beginning point (who is this character and what is his situation when we first meet him?), a middle point (what happens along the way?), and an end point (where does this character and/or his situation end up?).

        There are all kinds of Heroes, but they tend to have certain things in common. Once again, this list includes:

        ▪ Having desires and goals the player can identify with

        ▪ Changing and growing over the course of the story

        ▪ Taking action to resolve the conflict

        ▪ Taking personal risks for stakes that are equally personal

        ▪ Being willing to sacrifice it all
