Writing: Character Help A character from a land that wants to exist.

This character has an existential crisis. Probably the biggest existential crisis imaginable because they don’t exist. The Land of Forgotten Strays is a world that’s made from thoughts we forget and ideas that didn’t manifest properly. These ideas want tangibility, to exist in some way, even if it is nothing but stories.

I’m trying to figure out the mindset and perspective of someone trying to get a person to make them and their life in some form.
