Well one of my characters did rival NarayanK's antagonists in terms of sheer heartlessness, so I'm not that worried lol [sub][s](gotta love that sex-slave trade game my character had)[/s][/sub]

Now that I think about it, 80% of my characters are antagonists and only 10% are decent protagonists. The other 10% goes in the trash bin of motherfuckers I want to forget about. So there's really nothing to legitimately brag about since I'm just kind of used to making antags now.

I just want to learn how to make a good Protag character lol

Good and evil are defined by actions, both methods and results, but intentions will always blur that line. This is the simplest form of how to make good and bad characters and some that are near the middle, but if you want to make it even more convoluted... Take a page from Metal Gear Solid. They blur the lines of good and bad so frequently you yourself even find it hard to trust characters you meet. I can't explain how they do it. I only just got into the series' deeper story.

Using character example, I considered putting Lucius, my senior character as an antagonist, even though originally I planned on writing a new one for that. The reason being was that he had the ruthlessness and methodical approach that the cool calm collected types of villains have. I moved him over to the senior side in the end though.
