Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Jhana can't afford to be impulsive, but sometimes it's necessary to keep her enemies guessing. It may look like something out of the blue, but it's quite planned.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a></p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Taliesin is very calculated and cool with his actions. It’s hard to be impulsive when you can foresee every outcome, after all. </p><p>There are other characters (cough, Efnysien, cough!) that are INCREDIBLY impulsive and this 100% affects the plot.</p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>You have to hit a raw nerve to get Nymeria to act impulsive. It's one of the reasons Zaerul liked to rotate her between commanding groups and scouting.</p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>This is another place where I have to start by asking define 'impulsive'. My characters do react to developing situations on the fly, but they rarely do it in any rash way.</p>
Secrit Lyfe<p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WordWeavers</span></a> Day 22: How impulsive or not are your MCs? Does this affect the plot?<br><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/zackandruby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zackandruby</span></a> <br>Both Ruby and Zack are pretty impulsive. They go back to the abandoned theater with no hesitation, loading up sandwiches and good shoes for a walk back through abandoned neighborhoods. They never considered calling the police. Ruby impulsively leaves the apartment and goes places without Zack early on and it gets her into trouble. And Zack impulsively chases her. They're a good match.</p>
Kagan MacTane (he/him)<p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WordWeavers</span></a> Day 22: How impulsive or not are your MCs? Does this affect the plot?</p><p>I don't think any of them are particularly impulsive, or particularly reserved. As with the "how organized are they?" question (<a href="https://wandering.shop/@kagan/114178442153058970" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wandering.shop/@kagan/11417844</span><span class="invisible">2153058970</span></a>), Jessie is probably the most impulsive, but David nearly ties her, partly because he hasn't got anything in his life to stop him from acting on a whim (single, child-free, etc.).</p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Kim is a bit of a poly amorous kind of person, so she doesn't have much restriction on who she sleeps with. She has a negative reputation within the Kommando (special forces) for being kind of a slut too, so that's like my only impulsive character. Other than that most are not very impulsive, but Famir can be impulsive with drinking ale and sex too.</p>

He acts impulsively only in the final chapter of the book, when the disaster brought by the plague is in its final stages, and the rules have become irrelevant.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/histfic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>histfic</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a></p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Julia is so controlled that I needed to work around it or there wouldn't have been a plot. Mostly I use her much more impulsive siblings and close friends.</p>

How impulsive or not is your MC? Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Some of the MCs are dangerously impulsive. In book I, Diane is mostly out of control, creating trouble for herself with almost everything she does.</p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Jim *can* decide quickly, but even then he's got a plan. Or at least, is taking into account what he knows, aiming for the best personal outcome.</p><p>Unfortunately this fails completely when his knowledge is totally inadequate to the situation. Which is pretty much his moment-to-moment life once the plot gets going.</p><p>It's... a source of anxiety for him.</p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>With Mike, I'm not sure it's impulsivity so much as it is a failure to ask follow up / clarifying questions and a failure to communicate his own desires and intentions clearly. Along with being open to new experiences. It sure does look like impulsivity, though. :blobcataww:</p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Kara's pretty impulsive. She's often reigned in by Riptha, but if he's ever not around or the urgency of the situation takes her out of a listening mood, she's prone to jump into things without pausing to think.</p><p>Riptha is very much not impulsive. He thinks things through thoroughly before he acts when possible. Kara sometimes makes this impossible.</p><p>And yes, this affects the plot. Multiple times, in multiple ways.</p>

How impulsive is your MC? Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Ian has an impulsive temper, but it's a distraction; he's a long-game planner and plotter. Which of course absolutely screws him in the first book.</p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>Fairly impulsive -- of the distracted-by-curiosity type. They're not stupid or (unduly) reckless, just... really interested in examining all the extinct animals and their teeth.</p><p>It affects the plot a lot.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amwriting</span></a></p>

Does this affect the plot?</p><p>In a way, but it's to do with the impressive layer of cognitive dissonance he's buried his problems under.</p><p>He loses friends over it, loved ones. He ends up the MC of the plot because of it.</p><p>The narrator is created from bits of his mind he tears out to find the "bad" piece, the problem, the thing making him tip his life over, again and again. He hollows himself out looking for it (and leaves those bits to pick up the mess)</p>
GaH Learner<p>22. How impulsive or not is your MC? Does this affect the plot?</p><p>When Bella wants to do something, she usually follows through. But she doesn't follow every whim and can also be talked out of it, so I'd say, medium impulsive, if that is a thing.<br>It's affecting the plot because she's the MC and her decisions and actions move it forward.</p><p><a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WordWeavers</span></a> <a href="https://writing.exchange/tags/GL325" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GL325</span></a></p>
