-Are there any with characters like the one described in the first observation? If so what inspired you to go that route as opposed to the other?
I was, and still consider myself to be, quite new to RP. My first character was a sort of snowflake'd personality female. She had the gentle touch in most situations and only showed her stronger side in battle. I also had a character who had a troubled personality but was ultimately good. I only got to RP her in a single scene though.
So with that in mind, I wanted to create a different character. One with a 'bad' or less-than-favourable personality to deviate from my previous two. I haven't properly RP'd him yet and frankly I am a little nervous to. Reason being that I wanted him to be a powerful(not OP, but powerful) character that had built himself a bit of a reputation. I didn't want to trample other people's characters though and I am afraid of people thinking "No, why should my character be easily overcome by yours?" should I try and RP with them.

I wanted to create a character that could both bond with my friend's character and to have a personality that would clash with that of my bad character. I dislike the idea of the 'eternal hero' character as well but I am not opposed to having an altruistic character either. He is in actual fact weaker than my bad character in most regards and I while I see him as they type to rush to someone's aid, he is by no means the type to heroically save the day like an unmatchable elite.
I am unsure of the balance in this game/on Balmung but I think there should ideally be some, yes. Variety is king and different degrees of 'bad and 'good' make everything more interesting, especially when you delve into the grey area where you can have someone has good intentions but is willing to undertake bad methods in order to reach that end for example.
