So, I am a plotter. I want my outline to look like some grand equation before I start writing. Any advice on this would be great. Anyway, my current question is in regards to the beginning of a character's development. My story is kind of like a fusion between The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and the Anime show Naruto. In both of these tales the characters start out quite young, or ignorant, and we see their development from the beginning. However, the kind of stories that I enjoy now have characters that are fairly developed and powerful to begin with. I have developed some supporting characters that fill this brief, but I feel like I'm shoehorning and taking the attention away from the main characters. The question is: how do I reconcile what I have with what I want?
Re reading this the question is not too clear. What I mean is, how much importance is placed on showing the character develop, and how much can I reasonably assume the reader will accept and still identify with the character?
