> Depends what you mean by 'more prominent'; within the story itself or better known within the fandom? Within the story, you just focus the writing more about that character. The fandom - excellent question! Have to get more images (written and pictorial) into the public eye in locations where people visit, so they see them and want to see more.

> Bad-ass is a matter of action and opinion, so depends on how much a character may do a certain style or type of thing will determine how much 'focus' and how much of perceived 'bad-ass' they are. And of course it depends on 'how' this occurs whether they are then perceived as goodie/badie.
Well said on the Bad-Assness part, Scrap; I intend to think of it like that as well in implying the fact that for one to attain such a title, you must ultimately prove your worth in handling various situations whether by skill, peace or by force.
And in doing so, that I believe, is how a character can rise above others in not just being a bad-ass, but by being more of a valuable asset to ones close to them in a story; which also gives them more screen time in that as well.
And again, thank you for clairifying the main factors in broading one's characters for greatness to the fans, whether in conventions or to publishing authors.
Thanks again for that, Scrap; and let me know of any other assessments you'd like to discuss about this or others in the future.
