How do I find the right combination of plot ideas?
I don't know the exact saying, but I think it's something about how all stories are used, just with different characters and settings. I don't know all the combinations, but I really want to look for some that really stands out. Sometimes I don't know what the "plot" is called, especially if I like it. How can I find more about plots? (I'm looking for unique ones [I also know plots can't be too wacky or least relatable, otherwise the viewer won't understand it], but iconic ones are cool too. I don't know how to make it unique and cool. I know plots are vague and authors tune it to their own (example: overcoming the monster can be emotion or literal), but I have characters and I don't even know my plot!

How to understand a different perspective for characters?
Hi. So I want to make a story, and I want the characters to have diversity in many ways (disabilities, race, personality, ideals, etc.) but I don't know how to make a character through their eyes. How can I express them in a way where it's not assuming and more how they actually interact in the real world?
