This has been an enlightening thread and I do hope it continues, because there's obviously folks who have or are currently dealing with the sort of situation I posited here. As a matter of fact, in response to hauntme, I really REALLY do hope you find your fire for your character...or at least find a way to re-imagine that character. Hobbies should heal, not hurt. All the hugs.
I maybe should clarify that this question was brought up to my head in reaction to an article I had read about MMO characters that you love. The opposite came to mind--what about ones you hate? And how do the folks at this forum whom I respect and luff deal with that?
Ideally, this thread will be a place where people can talk about a situation like that and perhaps offer advice or help for folks who might be running in to that wall.
As this topic relates to Steel...she is nearing that point in my head, but I have some plans to give this wandering warrior a purpose and cause to fight for. She's been aloof and going with the flow for long enough. She needs a reason to fight that's bigger than herself and the basic complaints of a mercenary or a levequest.
She needs to get a reason to learn how to be a hero. And she needs to be emotionally invested in something for once.
