flaws help build character. keep on seeing the uber gary stu/mary sues in most fics. the "perfect killing machine" and has a rage issue in which he "loses control" and enters god mode. God, those have been done a million times over. here's an example of a character: poor street urchin who gets beaten physically everywhere he goes since he can't fight and uses his wits to survive. he has a great fear of spiders and isn't popular with the ladies but respects them. oh, did i also mention he speech disorder? there... a flawed character with balanced/normal features. beat this =D
