Writing interesting characters

Sunday I was watching the Walking Dead, like I always do, and I realized that none of the characters are really "good guys". That doesn't mean that they are "bad guys" either, it just means that they aren't written the way superheroes are. They want to protect their own, and sometimes that comes at the cost of someone else. The characters have all gone through a lot to get to the point where they are now. The characters have grown and changed over the course of the show. They each have their own personalities and interests. The characters are interesting, if they weren't people wouldn't tune in each week to see what would happen on the walking dead. The characters in the walking dead are the type of characters that I would love to write about. Characters that people care about, that people would go out of their way to read about or watch on tv. Characters that people cheer for, even if they aren't the good guys.
