I favor slow character development, as well as keeping interactions with the world around me realistic (such as travel taking a long time, not running around much, and not moving to an area with a different climate unprepared). My RP is mostly storyline-based... my friends and I use the main scenario as a sort of "railroad" to our characters' stories, around which our personal plots occur.
Regarding events, I am very shy, and worse than anything, very prude (and I mean it. Even seeing someone emoting kissing someone on the cheek or hugging or an unnecessarily detailed way to hold hands makes me want to run away to a different zone), so while I do my best to attend big events.. I have difficulties finding ones that wouldn't put me before unpleasant displays.
Again, I try to keep it realistic: much as I look away from people getting kissy in the streets or change TV channel when a movie's characters get physical, so do I move away from events that may present chatlog text that will make me uncomfortable.

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.
