I was until you realized your foolishness and learned that you actually DO have a pretty good character as he is who does have a lot of good things going for him plot wise and even power wise... You just need to plan his actions and get a good idea on how you're going to play him out and have an end goal that makes him worth the wait and the character building. Which is what I've been wanting you to learn... 

Staying with your characters how they are is always better than switching them out or completely remaking them for something more powerful.

Also Me and Stryder were in future soldier again lol :p
