I was thinking of a cool and hushed main character that doesn't talk so much. We could consider the character mute, but that would be the same as having no main character at all. The main character makes choices in every important situation—pulls everyone out of their fears and leads them to victory. (like the main character rushes on the scene signaling that 'he intends to help,' or stops and watches the scene unfolds signaling that 'he doesn't want to help,' and the main character's friends follow his actions.) The natural leader of sorts... but in any case, the main character is tight-lipped most of the time.
How does one manage to pull a good story out of this kind of character? If the character is silent, wouldn't that mean the main character is thinking a lot of things in his mind? But even if the main character's thoughts aren't written, and only describe what he has seen... what would make the silent character fit in the story—a good story?
I swear it'd be a loss of words and pages for chapters, but it would be a good challenge to test someone's ability to describe something with ease and concise details without making it sound so hard or fluffy.
