You always hear about "Mary Sue" characters, those that just seem perfect in every way, but what about characters that try too hard to be normal "Everyday Jane" or understated?
When creating your character, how do you balance between being too boring and too snowflake?Â
When role-playing with others, what character traits, personalities or actions have you found to be interesting and enjoyable to RP with and/or what have you seen just not work or appear too boring to engage your character? (Please be general. Don't call people out)
This isn't about the "right" or "wrong" ways to role-play, but more about developing characters, their backgrounds and what makes them tick. Obviously things that break lore go without saying, so I'm referring to when it is within the lore, but still too far on either end or just right etc. Some characters may try too hard to be interesting while others may have nothing to say at all. Where do you find the line and when do you think it can be easily crossed while still being within the lore? What kind of advice would you give given your past experience.
