We're on to the character story. We'll add the character (maybe) and due date when we get there. The four types are:

Milieu: This story is about the world in which the story takes places in.

Idea: This story is about some information that people are looking for or a question people are looking to answer.

Character: This story is about a character; why they are the way they are and how they act.

Event: This story is about something happening, why it happens, and the consequences of it happening.

A character story is about a specific character. This story follows the character and examines them. It explores who they are, how they behave, and how they became this way. Maybe they can enter a new world, or be investigating a mystery, or go on an adventure because of an event, but these specific stories care about the character and their arc. The character grows and changes during the course of the story, and finds themselves in the end. The character in this type of story is usually in a bad place, either dissatisfied by something or just disillusioned in general.

The character in these stories must be completely characterized. Not only must they be well-rounded, but they must be well-defined enough for readers to understand what their nature is and how it came to be that way. Not every character must be like this, but the main character, as well as those closest to them, must be characterized with far more detail than any other story. After all, it will be these characters, and their actions and motivations, that move the story forward.
