Rules for Writing the Random Onlooker

Hello again, and welcome back to the stereotypes series! Today, I have one for a character that nobody pays any attention to.

I present to you…

Rules for Writing the Random Onlooker by Lenox Bozzelli

***

Five steps for being random onlooker:

  1. Have no importance to the story. Do nothing memorable

  2. Don't have a face or anything to identify you are make you attractive in any way. You must blend in

  3. Be in the least appreciated group. The loyal ones by the kitchens or the peaceful farmers at the edge of town.

  4. Say one line or less. You don't matter, the MC and their friends don't want to talk to you.

  5. BLEND INTO THE SHADOWS. I cannot stress this enough, if you are an onlooker in a story, YOU DONT MATTER

And there is your guide to being the bystander!

How true. Those random onlookers tend to be important but not memorable.
