: Re: Building character trust My main characters finally met. Officially... They still don't know who the others are, and are from different cultural backgrounds, too different for the others to seem

It's difficult to determine why very different individuals would want to remain together let alone build trust without knowing more about them. My knee-jerk reaction is you could fabricate commonality by throwing them in a crisis, although that seems lazy. Or maybe building trust is inherent in the social structure they are currently in, i.e. necessary for survival or thriving.

*Okay so you mentioned that they have this great end goal in common, that makes this simple: a series of events will make the characters acknowledge the magnitude of this end goal, petty differences shouldn't affect their relationship should it interfere in this greater game they are playing.
