My main characters have a plot very centered on being slaves. Jet'a was captured with his family at the age of 5, deported to a slaver of Ul'dah, and kept slave until 12, when he attempted to escape with his sister and managed to get out only by himself.
Since then he can't forgive himself for not rescuing anyone in his family. He tried hard, but the Calamity seemed to wipe all his hopes to find any of them alive. However, in ARR, he learns that his slaver is still alive, and that he still has, among his slaves, a Miqo'te female that may be his sister. His current goal of life is to find her.
The role of the ex-slaver, as well of the Miqo'te girl slave, are already taken, but nonetheless, Jet'a is sensitive to the topic of slavery, so he may be interested in helping those that had his same past.

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.
