The Villain’s Backstory

Create an antagonist for your adventure story with a detailed past that humanizes them.

Villains are often viewed as one-dimensional characters. However, providing them with a complex backstory can give them depth and a believable motive, making the story more engaging. This prompt encourages you to construct a backstory for your antagonist that justifies their actions, explores their relationships, and makes the readers empathize with them even if they don’t agree with their deeds.
