What is the goal of your main character?

Herself only, because she will learn she cannot and should be her family's savior.

Lensing 2022-01-16 19:36:02 UTC #28

So the goal is changing during the story, first she wants to heal her family, then only herself

The main character Xepholen's goal is to keep his younger brother, Zalken safe no matter the cost. At the same time, he is stealing data from the Military trying to find information on a Secret Organization that has been after him.
Since Xepholen is a target, his younger brother is used as a ploy to capture him.

Is the secret organization after the brother or after the protagonist?

Art reference via the amazing Yoboketto...

Evangeline's main goal throughout the entire story is split into two different goals. One of them is Evangeline unraveling her past, as she suffers with extreme amnesia, and the other is Evangeline protecting Princess Anastasia as she is thrown into an arranged marriage. Her ultimate goal is to protect Anastasia without cough catching feelings cough. Yet, it is revealed that her past is a lot darker than originally thought.

My main character's goal is to save his siblings and defeat the Shadow Horseman, an evil entity who took over his brother's body.

Every Warrior King, only born once a century, is tasked with becoming a legendary hero. Ako, upon learning this of his heritage, decides to take on the greatest challenge of all- killing God himself! He knows that his world's cruel God is the source of all evil, so rather than defeating a huge monster or seeking ancient artifacts, why not stop the problem at its source? Whether or not he'll succeed, though, is yet to be seen...

Lyza is the titular main character of my story "Lyza's Sandstorm". Her main goal is to survive and protecting her disabled brother and anyone along her way until she can find somewhere to live in peace.

At the moment, Valan's goal is to get back home to his mother, Pesha, with the medicine...but nothing ever goes the way you'd expect. Circumstances change - and so do goals.

Lensing 2022-01-17 05:14:21 UTC #37

But the main goal stays the same, right?

simonitropunk 2022-01-17 05:39:29 UTC #38

It can change depending on the circumstances.

See "Rocky"

His first goal was to become the world champion but once he realized he cannot do that, he changes his goal to go the distance by reaching the 12 rounds with Creed.

Well, his goal is to make Separhin a Queen of Laos, destroy all cursed elfs and kill his brother.
That is a lot of goals.
And ofc try not to die, ang get rid of his curse.

Lensing 2022-01-17 09:09:22 UTC #40

If I would be the writer of Rocky I would say the goal for him is to be successful at boxing.
It doesn´t change through the story and he suddenly wants to be the world champion in cooking
or to become a painter.
It´s not a golden rule for writing which can´t be broken but there are some things that
confuse me as a reader:
-Not understanding the goal
-Not understanding the motivation
-Changing the goal and forgetting about the original goal
That´s why I was asking @blakestackman if Valan´s main goal still stays the same.
When the mother dies then there is no reason to get the medicine anymore but
then he can still get the medicine to help other people. The goal would be
"getting medicine to help people"

Lensing 2022-01-17 09:10:37 UTC #41

Why does he want to make Separhin a queen of Laos?
And why does he want to kill the elfs and his brother?

Evolving to what she should rightfully chase after. Just like in real life.

The goal of my main character is to seek vengeance for his fallen soldiers. His motivation is his feeling of obligation. He was supposed to lead them in such a way that they would survive. Due to the decisions of his C.O., all his troops were wiped out.

ItsHashi 2022-01-17 11:26:55 UTC #45

His goal is to get back to his fantasy world now that he got isekai’d into the real one...

A story is a story and for stories you need goals, wishes or problems
My comic is slice of life too
