This is just my opinion plus some adivse and it seems to work for me though I'm not quite sure about you since you maybe different. The CS is just more of guidelines. Pretty much ideas that are placed with bits of details added in. There will never really be a "perfect character" in any RPG. If there is then either one or two things will be noticed, that is if your paying close attention. One is they may seem to be in god mode. Always perfectly dodging attacks no matter how impossible it maybe. Or two they can't make them come to life completely. Take Mar for example. She was at one point nothing but voiolent towards Athalus for wanting to be in Lyn's life but as time went on she learned she had to change. Another example is the ever so lovely Colette. From what I understand she has never shown anger like she has now in the catacombs. What I'm trying to say is that it's not so much the CS you should let get close to it's the character themselves. Once a character touches your heart you will never truly lose them. In a way they will be as if they are a real person. Each flaw, tick, problem, or event will help grow the love. That's what happened with Keri and another RPG character of mine. It's also fine being pumped about an RPG. My advice make the CS how you want it as well as the GMs advise, take your time, if you have to throw ideas in the ooc just to see what people will suggest, and if, luck this helped, put your heart for your PC in the IC. I don't really think you can find goofier and cooler people anyway else. As well as GMs who are willing to help you and at time joke around as well. Hope this helps you. All in all just have fun with it :D
