It worries you that i consider the thoughts of my fellow roleplayers and do not wish to tread on them by creating a character that they disagree with?

It worries me that the natural reaction to discussion, in an environment that gives you time to sit down and think out your replies, is to consider it a direct attack on your person, get pissy, threaten to storm off and generally fail to defend your point of view by providing arguments and counterpoints to those presented by others. This isn't just you, mind.

Also the general wavering and inability to stick to one's guns, such as talking about seniority in the roleplay then dropping it in a huff, talking about how it's time it died when people continue to discuss things, or saying "I'mma do this because it's not against the rules" then giving in because people present valid criticisms, that nevertheless hold little weight as far as the actual rules go, and they can't find it in themselves to refute them effectively yet are too stubborn to admit that maybe they were wrong.

Technically Gordon Freeman's good to go. Same could be said of Ghost Rider. They're well within the rules, and you could've still used either of those, if you'd just stuck to that bit about them being fine by the rules then there was very little anyone could say to bring them down. It also would've meant that you stubbornly refused to acknowledge that perhaps your take wasn't the best despite being presented evidence to the contrary and that you were unable to argue against the criticisms offered against you, making you look like a dolt.

The point of whether they should be used if they're just going to be meaningless replicas where everything that doesn't suit you just gets ignored or tweaked until you're left with something that looks like the character, but isn't really, is entirely another. I feel they shouldn't, it's why I'm pointing out what I feel are mis-representations of your take on Gordon Freeman and continually suggest just creating a character of your own instead of taking one that exists and saying you're playing that except for all those bits you dislike.

Hell, Gordon solves the problem of mishandling a personality since he has none, the only real "issues" are the completely unexplained, sudden inability to age, which is completely pointless for the sake of the roleplay, and your take on G-Man interference that I feel does not match up to what actually happens in the games at all, which you seem to acknowledge because your only defense was "Well I can do things different because multiverse". Do you get what I'm trying to say here?
