Developing Diverse Characters...

...is hard. About a week ago, I started doing character development for a series I really want to write. The trouble with this is that I have been trying, with some difficulty, to invent a plethora of ethnically and sexually diverse characters. As a white, formerly sheltered, bisexual young woman, I've realized just how hard this is going to be for me. A few issues I've realised are:

I am white, which means I don't have a full grasp on what it's like to be a person of color in 21st century America, let alone a queer person of color in 21st century America.

I'm only halfway out of the closet. I've told some people about my sexuality (they were all, thankfully, very accepting) but I still hesitate to tell others. Because of this, I have not experienced the same criticism and hate that other members of the LGBTQ+ community have and therefore, I will likely get it all wrong.

I grew up in a very sheltered home and I mean sheltered as in, wasn't allowed to watch anything but Little Einsteins, Bob the Builder, and VeggieTales (bit of an exaggeration but you get the point). Despite the blinders having been removed in recent years, I'm still figuring some things out.

Then there's the issue of asking myself the question of if I'm including too much diversity. Nearly every character I've worked on so far is included somewhere among the LGBTQ+ community and while my aim is to cover a broad spectrum of sexual and romantic orientations, ethnicities, and lifestyles, the worry that I'm doing too much still creeps up on me.

And those among many others.

While it may stand to reason that, with enough research, it is possible to portray a mostly lifelike representation of everything I'd like to include, I always strive for the utmost accuracy in my writing. That, and I know I fall spectacularly short of the mark sometimes. All that being said, my goal would be to spread awareness while simultaneously not misrepresenting or offending any group or private individual. Of course, I do recognize that someone will get offended, no doubt. And I recognize that no one is perfect in any sense of the word.

Still, I hold to my claim: developing diverse characters is hard.

YOOOO I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR ANY OF THIS WHY ARE THEY ALL ACCURATE

Hockey Players as Greek Gods

Zeus- (God of the Sky)-Sidney Crosby, has the most power and rules over everyone. Brooding when angry, likes to travel but not be noticed or talked to.

Hera- (God of Marriage, Mothers and Families)- Marc-Andre Fleury, loves their family. Likes to be in the carpool line or cut oranges for soccer games. But do not anger, you will not exist anymore.

Athena- (God of Wisdom, War and Useful Arts)- Dougie Hamilton, the smart ones, likes to wander around museums, only interacts with intellectuals, probably get a degree for FUN

Aphrodite- (God of Love and Beauty)-Roman Josi, very very pretty, uses their looks to get what they want, and it works 1000% of the time, is here for a good time not a long time 

Hermes- (God of the Roadways, Travelers, Merchants, and Thieves)-Mat Barzal, terrible style with joggers and shitty shoes, always missing, tends to start trouble but can never finish it, always needs backup. 

Poseidon- (God of the Sea)- Erik Johnson, UNHINGED, would create horses out of sea form, only wears Hawaiian shirt, shorts, and flipflops, likes to talk to anyone.

Apollo- (God of Archery, Music, Poetry, Prophecy, and Medicine)- Tyson Jost, likes to look HOT, always looks good, is into everything from Music to Medicine; won’t be good at it but points for trying.

Dionysus- (God of Wine)- Quinn Hughes, pasty man who always looks hungover, a grumpy man barely surviving. Not much of a fighter…more of just stern petty looks. 

Dumb
