When writing about a hero, make sure to remember mythic story structure! Symbols and representation are very important when framing a story and bringing everything together in the end.
The world is full of patterns. Patterns are very easy to see, and allow us to understand relationships and history very easily. It allows us to see things that happened in the past, and what possible hardships, struggles, or challenges could face our hero in the coming future. Patterns bring significance to characters and how they are important to their world. Make sure your story is epic, an epic story will have an epic impact on your audience. An epic story will bring new light to your audience showing them a world they have never been before.
Be clear about your characters desires. Desire is what drives people to act in different ways, it makes it easy to understand what characters do and why they do it. Their wants make them easy to read. Additionally explore the possibility of your hero losing. Not everyone can win, there always has to be a winner and a loser, the fact that a hero is not perfect will give an audience a deeper attachment and more hope in your character. Lastly, have a lesson the audience can take away from the film. Causing the audience to learn something is the best thing you can do to create a lasting image in their mind and bring satisfaction to their mind.
Mythic stories are always something fun to explore. Their characters are easy to understand, and are overall very enjoyable. When writing fiction, mythical structure would be something very fun to explore. It seems like a very easy framework to work off of, and would provide a way to access a larger world with less detailing and explanation.
