Questions of transmedia narratives

1) Star Wars is a transmedia narrative because different parts of the story of the Star Wars universe are told through different media. The novels contain more detail for different story and character arcs, the films tell the main story thread, and the video games and television series (like the Clone Wars animated or even the Droids cartoon) allow different stories to be told within the narrative's world. There's even an online game to allow fans to interact with each other within a recreation of the Star Wars universe.
2) Characterization can be shown through writings from the character's perspective. Illustrations and descriptions of the character's surroundings and demeanor obviously give insight to who the character is. Characters should have a distinct voice.
3) Some suggested means of developing a character concept is to write about types of people who are familiar to you, while avoiding characters who are stereotypical or the same boring or offensively poorly written stock characters. Traits that play against the type aid in avoiding some of these pitfalls. Your character, even if a meant to be boring person, should at least be within an interesting situation. The character should have a history of their own to consider.
4) Characters can be more distinctive with details thought through such as their profile, what they would use as an online pseudonym, their daily habits, and so on. Do they have a particular time of day that they like to tweet? How does your character usually talk? Are there any particular structural patterns to their sentences or words they frequently use? Make certain that your characters don't all sound the same.
5) Extra material can be used in transmedia narratives. Maps indicating where events occurred, letters to or from your characters can shed more light on events throughout your story. Tweeting can cover an event in real time, or an event can be conveyed after it occurs within the timeline.
