User blog:Screwball86/More dramatic angle

I was just thinking that all of my characters are too bland, (yes, I know I defended them by saying they were normal) but I started to wonder if I could open up something to them and either create a serious, dramatic character, or put them all into one dramatic story. Or even have one of my characters die. Yes, you heard correctly, sometimes I like to write serious stuff without any jokes are comic points in them. Any suggestions on what I should do for it?
