a character written to be 95-100% perfect is boring as hell and flat
a character written to be 85-95% perfect is awesome (think superman)
a character written to be 80-85% perfect is self insert territory and is bad
anything below that (75-80% is well matured adult territory which is fine usually) has a good odds to be decent
don’t worry about it
we got all the time in the world.
hands guy is 100% perfect and still awesome
numbers are very fudged but the idea is
i don’t have a good conceptualizaiton of what 80-85% perfect looks like
you do know if he’s hands guy and you take his surname it’s not a nickname anymore
i hope to god his last name isnt hands for a number of reasons (but one fairly big one)
My self-inserts are, like, 50% perfect. skill issue.
he’s your oc you decide his surname!
maybe even less than that. my classic self-insert is someone very imperfect, evil leaning true neutral, but with a sympathetic reason and opportunity to change.
i’ll figure out what just below almost perfect entails
you do that
mine
Ok so like when theyre almost perfect you emphasize the distance through the proximity you see how good they could be and the ways their imperfections limit them
Just below almost perfect you lose focus?
Somebody whos good but not so good that it becomes interesting but too good to feel real

i personally find characters with deep flaws to be the most interesting
i can see it but not on a guy
