Antagonists

Every story needs some antagonists and perils that the characters fight. They can be internal and external, focused more on their environment, needs, values.

Internal

Glider Ink strives for realism and showing real problems, and these are often much less showy than Hollywood arch-villains. Some of the most important are:

  • Communication problems - and group dynamics. When trying to work with any group of people, some traction will appear sooner or later. They can be addressed with some clear communication and proper handling of everyone's emotion, but rarely disappear.
  • Value differences - every hacker is different, and damn, they are individualists. Suzanne may be too obsessed about her project, Adam way too proud, Cynic plainly misanthropic. Making decisions together is hard without finding some common ground first.
  • Meaning of life - all of the characters are shown at specific snapshots of their lives. They may not know where to go, or how to judge their decisions so far. They may be confused, look for an answer - or trying to escape the reality.
