Hello, I'm actually writing some characters for a story the problem is that i can't come up with anything new.

Usually I always inspire my characters to characters that already exist somewhere (books, videogames etc) but now everything I came up with is basically the copy of that character I chose for the model.

Nothing new, not even the character design,the lore or the personality.

Even the name doesn't fit like it should.

the main issue is that I want that my readers feels that same vibes I felt knowing that character For example, if I want to do something like Arthur Morgan (RDR2) it ends like something that is HIM in everything and, of course, doesn't sound right.

What can I do? Any advice?

hello, I'm currently working on a story at the end of the far west (1892).

The whole thing is around this group who's trying to survive.

leaving aside the fact that I have very few ideas about the members of the group (if you have ideas, please help me)

I need the readers to love one of the members; precisely, the boss.

He's very very charismatic and a man who lives only on ideals, often he quotes the bible and sees himself like a 'jesus'.

How can I make readers love him and NEVER suspect he'll (sooner or later) leave behind everything?

hello, I'm currently writing a book where a character often makes reference to Bible passages, or quotes.

He's the leader of a gang and often he refers to himself 'just like a Jesus' because he has in his group all the people the society left behind.

But there's a problem! I've never read the bible and I can't think of references he could say in the story...

Can someone help me? thank you
