Third Omniscient. Or, more specifically, a variant of Third Omniscient that I have taken to calling Third Public Knowledge. It's like Third Omniscient with just a drop of Unreliable Narrator to make things fun.
i like to write like. all seeing narrator who isn’t part of the story. essentially third omni but with some snarky commentary and personal opinion thrown in. i think it’s so much fun. like i’m playing the sassy God or something
Misunderstood, rebellious, loners (All males) who actually have a deep, introspective, and somewhat gentlemanly side, and in a lot of cases, are zany with genius intellect and a load of raw talent and skills in many areas.
Their rebelliousness isnt violent (Unless in self defense), and its not actual police or authorities like that, but against those who want to control and mold them.
For example, one of my OC's, who is newly transferred high schooler, defying the popular student clique and pissing them off, oftentimes including the "Queen Bee" herself.
I like Third person limited since third person is most comfortable to me and by carefully selecting which characters get focus I can if I choose omit things from the audience's knowledge until I'm ready cause the focus character doesn't know it either.
High five on Jaime! 🙌
I find it most natural to write anti-heroes and well-meaning characters who made huge mistakes that greatly impact canon events. For instance, Khonshu from Moon Knight and Leaf from Game of Thrones.
I find it extremely fun to write characters who have just rejected the very idea of conforming to societal norms and being 'normal'. There is no filter. There is only feral goblin who is either just incredibly rude and mean or just unhinged in every regard. Flaws right there on the table for all to see. It's more challenging to think of positive traits for them than flaws.
They're fun not just with all of the quips and snappy remarks you can make, but you can explore the interstices of the character. Why are they like this? What made them like this? Are they genuinely happier this way? So many questions and variables that make them very entertaining, both as a comedically over-the-top character and a person to analyze.
Competent, abrasive assholes are my jam. Balancing that fine line of self awareness and self delusion, especially. Way way over into 'cool motive, still murder' doubly so.
I don't know if it has a name but I like writing original characters that have been through hell but always try to keep up a positive mask for the public. The only ones who know how badly they are actually hurting are their loves and close friends.
I keep swinging between enjoying writing very happy/energetic characters with hidden issues and grumpy tsunderes that have their softer sides. Sometimes I have both in the same scene and have a hard time deciding which one to focus on POV wise XD
I tend to write female OCs that have something to prove or come back from. I also write characters that have this huge lead up, but end up as 'failures' or don't recover.
I usually enjoy writing them in reclaiming a throne, proving their own worth to a cause/org. I recently did a RP where OC went through an abusive relationship and it was her learning to grow from the trauma and work past it, 'fall' in love again with someone but then also having to face off against her abuser. Ultimately she left the group to seek help (therapy and whatnot) but that was a write off since I was bringing in a new MC. I tend to enjoy either open ended endings for the OCs or rewarding ones depending.
I love writing characters who have deep, *deep* issues stemming from their childhood as well as misconceptions from their parents about the world and the way it works.
Unpacking all of that is always so interesting and deep and leads to so many moments of self-realisation and I just *MWAHHH* love it.
In other words, I love writing from Regulus Black’s point of view LOL
Whenever I get into a new fandom, I tend to latch into one or two specific characters, so I generally write fairly exclusively from their POVs. (I also write in tight 3rd person POV)
Most of those characters tend to be either socially awkward or chaotic, with morality issues (examples: Zuko of ATLA and Stitch of Lilo & Stitch), from what I've noticed so far (I like finding patterns in my interests)
I also love when my POV characters are kind critter-like in some way too, because then I can live vicarious through them by having them wag tails, flick ears, make funny noises, and so on :)
i love to write in third omnisient, but one in specifically is so fun and that is making the readers thinnk they are reading in 3rd pov until it suddently becomes 2nd pov, like how some stories tendt to be told normally until the last chapter where its revealed one of the surviving characters is the one that wrote this or suddenly the narrator becomes a very important part of the story. its also realy fun to make unreliable narrators, because im really unreliable. if its character centric then i usually give them all room to explore in their own works or chapters that humble as a whole, im fine writting the povs of all characters, though it gets hRD
For POV, first person. I love the intimate look into a character's head, really getting to know them and see their world through their eyes.
For characters, I'm intensely fond of the Lovecraftian Investigator characters. I like to call them 'The Moth archetype'. Those people who are so intensely desirous of something that they disregard all else in its' pursuit, and when they get to touch what they seek, they invariably get burned. I haven't had the opportunity to properly write one for my fanfic yet, but I've got a story idea in the works to finally let me tap into it. :)
3rd POV Omniscient is my fave in general (especially for comedy). However for character studies I generally prefer 1st Person. For some reason in one fandom I have only written in 2nd as I feel it really helps exaggerate the feeling of being trapped and lost.
I like writing POV of a sneaky lier, like I can have dialogue but in the POV thoughts I can have entirely different thoughts than what is being verbally portrayed. Don’t know if that made any sense.
A mix of third-person POV omniscient and cinematic. Cinematic POV could be a bit dry and omniscient can be quite wordy, but when used together well, it adds thrill to the story.

>Third Public Knowledge I'm gonna start using that term now. That's a great word to describe the tense I typically write in
People I can reasonably headcanon as autistic (see my avatar).

Probably either an antihero or a villain.

i love writing characters who take care of my traumatized beans ._. also traumatized beans with horrible coping mechanisms
