Fantasy Character Creation - Rantish?
As was said within the Day 3 Rant of Robert Waltz Author IconMail Icon it's kind of hard to get some of those questions nailed down with a character that may be from another planet or in a Fantasy world. Education within a fantasy setting seems to be less math and more practical skills for them to use within this world you've created.

At least with mine, others may have fantasy characters who learn math. I haven't come across it yet but, who knows, it may be out there. I was surprised to read in The girl who played with fire that they were focusing on math equations. Which, of course, made me feel like. *Shock2*

And, let me say also, I love Fantasy books. But, I can't tell you how many of them I've ditched within the first two chapters or more because the character is whiny. They aren't proactive and it takes half the book for them to get going. *Headbang* If they ever do move past this

With that said I do try my best to get into as many of the questions that I can to get her built up from 'the ground up' you could say. I think with Fantasy/Sci-Fi our main characters are incredibly important but so is the setting. The setting needs to be a character in itself to draw the reader into space and place that they are inhabiting.

If this makes sense, I haven't had coffee yet. *Laugh*
