Touching on the care part, while that is part of writing a good story, I don't think I've necessarily written any with that express goal save for the ones that I cannot bring into this roleplay. But even in those cases it was more out of a desire of catharsis, because I had a character idea I wanted to write and then did. For the most part I feel like most of my writings aren't centered around making one care about the character, moreso exploring a concept or telling a story, and the only reason I try to make characters more than planks of wood is because it's a good idea to do so. At least that's what it seems like anyway.

And true, not being a god doesn't also mean that they aren't a power fantasy, I was merely trying to convey the fact that most of the characters I've written or read that I regard to be power fantasies generally are. Not in official works mind you, just on some roleplaying sites and forums in general. Usually characters who aren't literal gods tend to be more fleshed out from what I've seen, or actual characters in other words, rather than a vessel for an inordinate amount of powers. Even if their own power is some form of reality warping or similar.

Lastly, as for writing what I know, again that just results in characters that are typically less empathic and more edgy. Or angry, depending, because that is quite literally what I know. While my life is nowhere near as bad as that of others, some of the things that happened during it combined with most of the ridiculous and stupid things humanity does on a daily basis have shaped me into a largely cynical and pessimistic person. Though I could possibly make this work. I do have an OC of Lucifer I could remix, make him less from Milton and make the adventure something he sees as a potential path to redemption. A way to show that he's done being evil and whatnot.
