I was reviewing my first draft and realized:
I need a better antagonist.
I have a flat, unspecified, weak organization with a stereotypically evil guy who are absolutely easy to defeat. I need an antagonist whom I love to hate (i.e., you'd rip him/her apart with your bare hands) and at the same time hate to love – a tragic, motivated character who has their own, plausible, honest/well-intentioned motives and reasons. A character who makes your heart ache while making you angry.
And:
- A separate antagonist and protagonist (they can't be the same character)
- I'm willing to change the (evil) organization the antagonist belongs to and the (good) organization the protagonist belongs to
- I'm willing to change the protagonist (but not the side characters.)
How can I develop an antagonist that fits these requirements?
