Secondary Character

(n.) A character in life that is not nearly as interesting as the primary characters. They are basically the human equivalent to background trees.

The boy was upset when he spoke to Sally and she didn't acknowledge him. Little did he know that no one even cared to remember his name because he was just a secondary character.

Character Abuse

An illogical term made by Springbear452.
The idea is that creating "joke characters" or selling characters is a form of mental abuse upon them.

Springbear452 has ignored the fact that such characters lack minds of their own, therefore they are utterly dependent on a creator to develop their story. Without minds, mental abuse is impossible to take place.

"The act of character abuse is when you create a character just for the purpose of selling or making a joke. It's a form of mental abuse on them."

builds character

The reasoning for choosing the hardest path (or what is presumed to be a hard path), which basically amounts to the person being presented with a decision being rewarded by becoming a "better person" (ambigous term) by the end of the path.

Going into politics builds character, since being economical with the truth is an essential life skill.

throwaway character

a character used in a story or backstory to simply give reason for something; little to no detail is provided about them and they usually aren't necessary in the story at all

An example of a throwaway character: Bob had a mom who raised him but then he left to sail the seven and a half seas.

"Why is this considered a throwaway character?"
"Well, so what if he had a mom that raised him? The mom has no purpose in the story."
