If something is static, it is motionless or resting.
Static electricity is the accumulation (build-up) of an electric charge. The
electricity has not moved. When it
moves, you feel it!!!

think about dynamite. Dynamite starts
out as a little package. However, when enough heat is added to it, it changes
greatly.
The antonym for static character
is dynamic character.

A dynamic character is one whose
ideas and attitudes change
very much through the course of
a story.
