There's nothing wrong about being average but to take it to the point that it's exactly the same issue that people that feel their character needs to be a special job to be interesting.Â
I'm not looking so much for special characters as much as people who are bold with their characters. By bold I don't mean being special, as much as it is people breaking out of the box to be something more than just a face in the crowd.Â
It's like meeting for an interview, the characters that are going to be remembered are going to be the ones that stand out from the rest.Â
If someone is going to is gonna write a generic thief character and not be anything more out of fear of being seen as special, then no, it's not going to be an interesting character.
Characters that are well remembered are ones with a well written personality. Their feats, class, backstory, and anything else, to me, is secondary.
Flawed, innocent, egotistical, timid. Doesn't matter the kind of character, only that it stands out as an individual.
So yes, a generic thief could be interesting. I wrote a character who could not fight or heal and RPed him for nearly 8 years and he was extremely well received by the communities I RPed him.
