Quite an interesting discussion here.
I have always been drawn to the "good guys" type, even in other movies/games/shows. Don't get me wrong--I love being the villain or the lowly grunt too (or watching them work!), but there is something very rewarding to me about doing what many people here have already mentioned.Â
This is very true and very good advice. Being good just for the sake of good in it of itself can be seen as flat and somewhat dull, both to play and interact with. But if a character starts out that way and has their views questioned, the fun part in that--to me--is watching them grow and react to the situations. Most of my characters still surprise me with the shiz they do sometimes.
I haven't really had the chance to RP Rhesh'ir more than once, but I can tell he is more allied with "good" than "evil". However, that doesn't mean he's going to rush out and save the world just because his conscience deems it right. It's going to take some development for him to even get his foot out of the door. Or.. forest, as it were.
Anyway, I didn't really have anything too important to add. I just wanted to let the OP know that there are other "good character"-loving sorts out there! Play what YOU want to play, and have fun. <3
