Post #4: Stereotypes

 Blog #4 #1: Chosen Character I decide to choose Maxwell from the Scribblenauts series for the character that I wanted to play some Tropes with.  #2: How Fits with Tropes When looking over a lot of the reading, I noticed as he fits fairly well with some of the tropes that were listed such as: Justified: He fits this through himself being one of the only two people who holds the notebook that can save the world.

He uses the backpack which blossoms once her tries to take on another form which that represents a creature of the dark such as an owl or a bear. He also brings around his Pact compass which holds the location of those who have not had pacts fulfilled or completed yet. Sociological Character (what is the background / present conditions of your character?) The Character is born to be a small entity that is weak in power, but has the ability to the power of natural spirits to fulfill tasks. However my character dreams to one day be able to become a grand a...
