Back when I had an Italian RP LS, I was having a lot of fun RPing the pragmatic, sophisticated professor. I like using big words for saying even the simplest things and cause many awkward moments with those who do not understand me.
Unfortunately, as I switched to an English community, I had to come to terms with my inferior knowledge of the English language compared to my mother language. I don't think my whole life will be ever enough to learn to speak English as sophisticatedly as I'm able with Italian.Â
I have found relief in RPing an averagely cultured Jerk with a Heart of Gold trope back in FFXI (my first English RP experience). Though completely different than my Italian role, it was very fun and is now my favorite stereotype.
I'm the type that likes to experiment, so in XIV I relegated JwaHoG to an alt so that I could test new stereotypes on my main characters. It's being interesting, but I'll admit that alt stays my favorite.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.
"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.
