I admit to having a propensity for exceptionally powerful characters. However, I never make them powerful for the sake of power alone. It's usually a side effect of creativity and really interesting characterization haha. My other issue is my characters tend to evolve and consistently surprise me in such a way that I'll think they do one or two things and then later find out that they do three our ten, if that makes any sense.

I also have the tendency of giving only tidbits of their history as the character sort of...reveals it to me later, which has the tendency of enriching both my and everyone else's experience of that character as they discover exactly how they ended up the way they did.

With this, since the history is basically "myth/legend," I can liberally describe the character the way history remembers them...and not necessarily how shizz really went down *grins, rubbing his hands together*

Oops...is my evil showing again? I even went so far as to change my title to Loremaster rather than overlord too *swears under his breath*
