User blog:BladeOfHope/When creating characters...

Just out of curiosity, what do you guys think makes the best characters? What are the personality traits, other characteristics, etc. that you like seeing the most in characters? And what kind of things make the best heroes and villains?

I'm curious 'cos a lot of characters in stories (not necessarily here, but like especially in published works) tend to have similar backstories (in basic outline, if not in details), similar character traits, and so on. So I'd like to see what some other people think, and how well it matches up with what I've observed in people's writing.

(This isn't limited to Warriors, either, btw. it can be about writing in general.)
