Flaws are always an interesting topic to talk about. What they are, why they have them, if they're flaws at all. Even whether the flaws exist for the sole reason of "they need flaws" or if it was something that grew organically out of the character concept.
Chachan, for example, is childish and quick to pout when things don't go the way he wants. His care and concern for others makes him often worry and try to stick his nose where it doesn't belong, possibly causing more harm when he's trying to help. And his belief that everyone has a good side - and that can be turned towards that good side - often puts him at odds with those with more pragmatic and worldly views on life in general.
He's a dorky little goody-two-shoes hero wannabe in a world that is more than willing to show him on a regular basis how horrible it can be. It's a flaw, sure, but you could also consider it a strength. He's always trying to help people, he's willing to give people second chances, and he's happy enough being that little bit of sunshine in an otherwise dreary existence.
Then there's Gogon. He's bright, talented, and ambitious. However, it's because of these things that he is arrogant, manipulative, and thinks he knows more than you do. He believes his way is the right way, that the only person he can expect to do things right is himself, and it would take a Herculean effort to convince him otherwise on either point. Pair that with a burning desire for revenge for the (assumed) wholesale slaughter of his family by the Garleans, along with a paranoia that they're coming after him to finish the job... and you have a guy on the fast track to going down in flames rather spectacularly. And - to his hope - taking down as much of Garlemald with him in the process.
And then you have Judge, an eccentric old coot with a distinctly black-and-white view on life and decked out in a full suit of armor that he never seems to take off. I'm sure you can think of plenty of things that might be wrong with him from that little blurb alone.
