Karen Christine´s Intriguing Concept and World
My show THE GOOD BANKER
First of all: Thank you, Jan, for the addition in the title 🙂
What I learned doing this assignment is to keep close to your main character while building a “big” world for him to act in.
1. Concept:
Having lost his money, his family and his reputation through a scam, good banker Wolf-Dieter has to immerge deep into the world of crypto banking.
In his attempt to detect the scammers he quickly grows from white-vest banker to ruthless wirepuller in a territory that is strange, speculative and free from rules and regulations.
Inspired by his unexpected success and admired by his competitors he gets a second chance to rebuild his reputation: by causing the downfall of everyone who has let him down, including the whole bank company.
Hook 1: How does a man who has lost everything survive in an unexplored world and quickly become an expert and influencer himself?
Hook 2: How does one person cause the downfall of a whole banking institution with literally few clicks?
2. World:
Unique Sub-World: the unexplored world of crypto banking where few clicks can decide on wealth or ruin.
Unexplored: Where all the money goes and how to get it back when you have been scammed.
Unknown: How rules and regulations have to look like in the future, and how you find perpetrators when all they need is a wallet and a password.
Unseen: Investigation in a world that is dangerously silent, building itself up all over the world and in places you would not recognize as “where the big money is being moved within seconds”.
Unheard of dangers: Everybody with a little luck, budget and strategy can become rich and the next ruler – if you want it or not. Huge power and pressure can go into the hands of persons and criminals you never see or hear from.
Reason to explore: The world of crypto banking is a huge gate that is already opened – delivering many chances and as many pitfalls.

B. …discovers he’s a fictional character…
C. …who, before he is made to commit unspeakable acts, must wrest control of his story from his creator…

2. The World of this Show
- Unique sub-world: Fictional characters living parallel existences to their real counterparts
- Previously unexplored: A world where it’s possible to rewrite your story
- The Unknown: Who will get killed off next by the cruel creator
- The Unseen: The machinations of real-life characters
- Unheard of Dangers: Characters at the mercy of the creator’s mood swings

Hi KZ,
thank you for sharing your learning.
It´s exactly what I experienced.
I had to put the framework aside for a moment, seeing it as a great treasure and resource, and I will make my changes in it later.
Let´s keep moving forward and filling in the blanks with ease 😉
Enjoy your day,
Karen Christine
