I have often posed this question on the OOC LS chats on Gilgamesh. And I've received several different answers as each individual has his/her own preference. And this of course is just my general observation and is in no way the views of the server, or any group I am affiliated with as a whole.
Observation 1: There seems to be a lack of "less than favorable" characters.
With that being said allow me to elaborate because it seems the common misconception is that I mean murders or assassins and the like. When that is simply not the case. One can be a criminal, for lack of a better term, with a winning personality and what he or she considers to be a heart of gold. And not have the desire to slaughter everyone they meet.
Observation 2: There is no shortage of white knights.
Now when I say white knights I mean that and so much more. Yes, yes that strapping fellow come to save the damsel in distress. But then I suppose i could always say the quintessential goody two shoes that you have the chance to interact with.
I titled this balance for one simple reason, there needs to be more of it. So I would like to pose some questions to the community as a whole.
-What is the hesitation with playing a criminal mind, or any "baddy" for that matter?
-Are there any with characters like the one described in the second observation? If so what inspired you to go that route as opposed to the other?
-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?
-Do you agree or disagree that there needs to be some sort of balance struck?
