"Talk to the Gun" or How to Craft Protagonist

Crafting memorable characters is never easy. Even greater challenge is how to create a protagonist - player's avatar. They need to be unique, spectacular, yet familiar, connected to players. This lecture will go through the anatomy of a memorable character, with specifics on creating the Protagonist so that every player can identify with the character, own it, using the example of cyberpunk noir detective JC from the game "Let Bions be bygones" by Bohemian Pulp.
