#I don't think any of my OCs have ever come without flaws or like relatively flawless

You know what I love?
Characters who are BAD, but not in the sense you think. BAD as in not the best, the basic-est of basic, maybe even foolish and dumb, not attractive, no special qualities, they're the side-characters in every story, and they STILL try their best (regardless of if that means trying their best at being good or bad). I don't like making like... amazing characters unless I can give them big flaws or highlight their flaws instead of how incredible they are. Like making Me.teor a himbo, overworked, he leaves his own needs behind, but also he's very simple and down-to-earth and a little slow on other stuff that's not like... all of the jobs he takes and stuff.
Aside, I do have Atom and said Atom is the best asset of his company, highly efficient when it comes to following rules and fighting on the battlefield, but I like highlighting his flaws and how damaged and wrong he actually is instead of him being this "incredible creation." I don't know, I don't find joy in a character that is just 10/10 in looks, attributes, assets, etc... Hand over the underdog, the supposed unconventionally good, they all have potential and I adore them so much.
