TNWBAWTTM Part Deux.

Let's continue where we left off with describing the way the middle brother acts. For starters, this brother is trying to prove to himself and to the rest of the family that he is better suited for being the head of the family than the oldest brother. This will often result in a power struggle between the oldest brother and occasionally the father(if there is any confusion the middle brother would have the struggle with the oldest brother and/or the father). Whenever examined in a story arc, the only possible scenario for him will be falling short of his brother and making the family have less expectations from him in future scenarios. Failure is the only option for the middle brother when he faces off against the oldest brother (the dad will always show the least amount of clear judgment). The middle brother will be one of the ways that complicates the simple day to day activities of the family, although it won't be limited to just himself. He will usually have the third son tag along and talk about growing up. Which brings us to the last character of main characters, the third son. He will be misunderstood by the parents causing either comedic relief or goofy plot points. Most of the time he will speak in slang just to confuse the parents and try to live away from the rest of the family. Communication with the parents will be hard because of the slang and the older brothers will usually translate to the best of their knowledge the youngest will be about 14 to 16 years old. He will follow or tag along with each brother standing as an intermediary between the two brother's. While analyzing each situation, the youngest will often break the fourth wall in times that show the brothers doing something that is morally wrong or just weird. I really think the best way for the youngest son to have a continuous gag of lamp shading the poor judgment his family by actually asking if there is a lamp shade around (BUT FUNNY).
The characterization of each person in the story will always try to tie in with the plot, continually advancing the plot. The plot of a whole season would be the family either trying to adapt to their surroundings or just be able to pay the mortgage.
