With regards to whether K'aworu is interesting or not, just a couple of things I noticed while skimming through the wiki entry really quickly:

1. Where's the character's motivation? Character development is usually what brings said character to life, and that's usually driven by a number of motives. Either I missed it while skimming (my bad!) or else it's nonexistent.  

2. You have to be really, really, really careful about (and/or skilled with) roleplaying a character with negative social traits such as clinginess, shyness, lack of sense of self-worth, or loopiness. The same traits that discourage people IRL from socializing with someone more often than not can also extend to RP. It's this awkward position where you're trying to play an archetype that by definition is self-limiting.

E.g. if I'm not in the mood to listen to some crazy cloudcuckoolander on the bus in the morning on the way to work, I'm not likely to care for it in my RP where I'm supposed to be relaxing and enjoying myself.

E.g. The mopey kid who's no fun to hang out with IRL? Probably no more fun to hang out with a mopey kid in RP.

It's a hard thing to play as, and unfortunately I've noticed that it puts some people off.
