In my search to understand characters and what makes them do the things they do and what makes them them, I watched interviews of actors and actresses on youtube talking about their characters and their fellow characters. They said some very insightful things, so I took some notes...and this is what I got:
Thor – strong and powerful physically – in Avengers his noble, warrior trait is tested, his brother or his new team, his family or civilization
Iron man – the battle of wits and strategy and tactic –he realizes that “we” is better than “I” – he’s a tough guy and has general-ship – a funny, quirky kind of a guy, he’s straight-shooter
Hulk – you have anger management to contend with – he looks up to Tony Stark, because they’re both scientists that experimented on themselves, while Tony is looked up to and wanted, Bruce Banner is hunted and haunted
Captain America – is good for the sake of good – he is like a parent, trying to look out for people, he throws himself into it – is a little sad about his responsibility like the Hulk and both are brought to a place they don’t want to be
Loki – motivation to gain absolute respect through power – is a god of mischief – he knows who he is, he knows what he wants, he doesn’t need his family anymore, he doesn’t need his father or brother – he’s given way to his darker instinct – he’s born and told he “was always born to rule” he is desperate for an identity because he will never Odenheim or Asgard, so he wants to fashion earth into his own kingdom
Morgana – in the beginning she is a genuine person and felt like she had to play a role as being a good princess and then finds out that she’s denied by her real father and her magic she knows magic is forbidden – she gets an idea in her head and runs with it – so at first her fighting was about being accepted for being magical – then it’s about revenge, she wants everybody to feel what she’s felt, because she was imprisoned and tortured for two years – she has difficulties with Gwen being queen, because that’s her birthright which is a small goal – her overall goal is revenge – she’s thinking of revenge but mostly she’s thinking about herself and people like her with magic, she wants everything to be all right for them, but she’s so angry and so hurt and damaged by wants been done to her – she uses people to her own end – she still loves the people she’s had relationships with but she can’t deal with it anymore
King Uther – he rules out of fear of magic – is single-minded and dark-minded, both fight for what they believe, they believe they are doing what is right, and making the hard choices for the greater good just like Morgana
Merlin – chooses to help certain people and not, like Morgana when Morgana starts to realize who she is, a magical person – everything little thing he does sort of leads characters down a path like he
Arthur – he needs Merlin to be a good king
Kazaam, Prince Dastan’s Uncle – he is corroded with envy and regret
Angelica Teach – is trying to save her father’s soul

Pirates (from one of the Pirates of the Caribbean interviews) (one of the actors or actresses said) - pirates are manipulative and dangerous
Captain Barbossa – is annoyed with how Captain Jack Sparrow finds himself in some sort of a trap and always manages to get out of it.
