For the life of me, I cannot play good guys. I've tried on multiple occasions to make a purely well functioning, well meaning characters that have a final goal of being protagonists.
But I always end up making them into something of the opposite. It's really typical, nice guy on the outside- complete nutjob on the inside.
Edit: I often end up talking to people about some of my characters years later, when I tell them what they 'really' were they are generally quite surprised. It's somewhat in line with morally gray characters, because it's relatively self serving and I don't believe in being bad, just to be bad. It needs to be functional, and purposeful.
Also tall characters, I tried to make a short character in recent years! I really did! To make up for his size, I ended up making him one of my most vile characters in my own RP history.
Maybe I can break that trend here.
Maybe.
