Deconstructing a Character

Protagonist

This character would be the type who could not contain their brightness. They have a strange personality  that compliments, or brightens, the other characters that surround him. Many different roles can fit to this character, just like this picture has many different colors and aspects, but either way, they come to one central point. The vibrancy of their attitude adds some comic relief to the story's plot which gives the character the opportunity to either contribute to the direction that the main character wants to take, or just add some compliment.

Being the brightest is not the role of this character, but when the character that they compliments goes out, they are there as the perfect substitute.  Just like the light of a candle, this person is one who often falls into the background until they are necessary. Adding a nice accent to the film is what this character accomplishes best, but can be used towards the plot if necessary. This character can be used in the background or can be placed in the spotlight, depending on which way the plot takes them, making this character very versatile.

Just like a square, this character is typically very straight forward. Unlike their counterparts, they have an antagonist that steals their light in the way they look. They are more squatly shaped, giving them a portly feel and the ugliness adds humor to their character. They are happy though, like the color of this square, making them ok with the way that they look and are represented. This character would not necessarily move well through-out scenes, just like a square does not move well through spaces.

Antagonist

This characters color pallet is very dull and dark, because it compliments their personality. They would be perceived as mean and moody, and would most likely shoot down the protagonist whenever possible. This character cannot have many different roles, it is very straight forward. They have one face and one color scheme. 

The light that this person resembles is very dull, just like the color. They cannot light up a room and make things brighter, and he cannot make a situation brighter.  The amount of personality and light that he adds is very minimal compared to his counter part. Also, like a lamp, his temper can be ignited at the flip of a switch. The anger spreads through the situation, like dull light in a dark room, and adds a different atmosphere. 

This person is taller and thin, just like this jalapeno. They also have a hot temper like the jalapeno and their heat can be easily released. The lankyness that this person posesses makes him seem more intimidating and odd looking. He is the opposite of the protagonist, where the good guy is squat, this guy is tall and awkwardly shaped.
