| ★ my absolute favorite is significant character development. a switch in alignment (usually bad to good), going from asshole to slightly less of an asshole, etc. ★ jerks with a heart of gold. badasses with a heart of gold. ★ tragic backstory BUT the character is well-adjusted and their life doesn't revolve around their past, they don't brood constantly or let their past hold them back/define them. a+ if they've moved on/are actively trying to move on. ★ losers. idiots. dumb dweebs with a flair for dramatics. comic relief. ★ EYES. anything to do with eyes. eyepatch, blind, unique coloring, crazy eye powers, etc. ★ morally ambiguous character. refuses to see the world in black and white. ★ stoic characters with their occasional funny moments. ★ characters with an unrequited love/crush on someone. ★ have a hidden agenda of some kind, holding in a big secret that could be a game changer. ★ can go from complete dumbass to badass in a second. especially when a friend/family is endangered. ★ DEAD BEST FRIEND. ★ short-tempered, has anger issues.
