As Fab said, 97% of my characters are gay as fuck. If there's not at least a fair portion of gay I don't care (I'm kidding, I do, but as an LGBTQ+ person that does bleed over into my characters)

Buff ladies. I have a weak spot for buff women (that's my gay showing, I guarantee it lmaooo). Especially buff ladies who look super intimidating and scary but are actually super soft on the inside. Giant Puppy energy sort of thing.
And I will admit, "tough backstories but made it out the other side" is a recurring theme, because I project a lot onto my characters (don't we all).

Aaaand I am also a sucker for anti-heros (so Chaotic Good to Chaotic Neutral-ish on the spectrum of "goodness"). I have a [i]lot[/i] of those XD
