-What is the hesitation with playing a criminal mind, or any "baddy" for that matter?Â
Â
Honestly, I'm kind of surprised there is one. From previous experience I began to feel that it was the reverse that takes place. Way more baddies than goodies. I agree with your point that being 'bad' is not necessarily being an assassin or criminal and maybe some go with the mindset that is what a villan is all about when it can be so much more. One never knows.
Â
 -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?Â
Â
None for me this time around. It was my first thought but I feel my best character was the shade of grey that may have tempered more onto the darker side. I see the value in both aspects though so understand those that may go the 'white knight' route as it opens a variety of dialogue and inner conflict. But for me, I found a way to make that darker character have that direction as well and found it rather challenging. I try to step outside my personal comfort level in roleplay when possible.

My character will fall into the first observation in all likelyhood. I do this to step out of my comfort zone. I feel too often some of my characters take on my personality traits and want to force myself to think outside the box. I have only done so a couple of times and enjoyed it thoroughly. The RP partner I had at the time took me to that level which I could not thank her enough since I generally always played the white knight. It was refreshing to go to a different level/new experience.Â
-Do you agree or disagree that there needs to be some sort of balance struck?
While it is nice to have I don't feel there has to be a 'need'. Diversity is nice but it comes down to quality more than anything. If there is a shortage of those who walk a darkery or more grey path then raise the quality that is being held. Network, communicate and bring those under such an aspect together more. It will make a number that totals a few to seem of a greater amount just based on what they bring forward to the community and the roleplay experience shared by all.
Plus I'm like others where I'm more of a roleplay what you like and I'll work with it one way or another. Just want all to enjoy themself and have fun *winks* Sometimes things come more naturally for someone playing within themself and I can never fault anyone for that. Â
