Attractiveness: 0 - Being that his eyes were burnt out and that his body has been horribly warped by demonic power, he's hardly eye candy.
2. Wit: 9 - He's been around for thousands of years, gained a lot of intelligence, and has found a lot of joy in dancing his big complex words around others. Unfortunately, this makes him a bit arrogant. He accepts his arrogance, and he doesn't like to think himself above others, but he just can't really help it.
3. Intelligence: 8 - Like I said before, after living thousands of years watching entire species evolve and empires grow and fall, he got pretty knowledgeable during that time.
4. Physical Prowess: 8 - He's a demon hunter, go figure.
5. Muscular Strength: 8 - ^^^^
6. Attention Span 5 - This is a hard one, because when it comes to slaying demons or whatnot, he's a full 10, but otherwise, especially in social situations, he's completely lost. Partially because he's been away from single minded society for thousands upon thousands of years.
7. Pain Resilience: 7 - He's a demon hunter, so had some pretty bad scrapes when draining demonic power/ fighting demons. Not the kind of elf that cries after being slapped.
8. Lustfulness: 0 - Outcast from his beloved, along with the rest of his home for thousands of years, not to mention his horrid appearance, he knows better than to seek love.
9. Greed: 10 - Gave up everything to protect the world from the legion, so...
10. Cash Flow: 0 - Cash doesn't help him kill demons. Everything else he can supply himself. What's the point?
11. Arcane Attunement: 10 - Was a highborne, then became a demon hunter, go figure.
12. State of Mind: 2 - He has no doubt of his sanity, though has a strict "ends justify means" look upon the world, and soon his state of mind soon becomes very questionable. As we all know, I love insane people.
13. Bravery: 5 - He doesn't see the point in taking risks, only to get himself killed, so that he would never survive to protect the world from other threats, but also doesn't see the point of not taking good odds.
14. Marksmanship: 0 - Who needs to be able to shoot an arrow into a demons eye? I'll just blow the whole damn thing to pieces. Unless were counting magic into Marksmanship, but I don't think you really have to 'aim' magic.
15. Temptation Resistance: 10 - As I've been saying, he's pretty selfless. He only takes what he absolutely needs, and even then only if it's justified.
16. Resourcefulness: 5 - He's extremely resourceful when it comes to anything he's single minded towards, but then falls apart immediately afterward. Also, remember, he's observed society from a distance for thousands of years, but is definitely not the guy who knows the address of every helpful guy in the city.
17. Recovery 2 - He's sacrificed so much to do what he does, if he starts to feel like it wasn't worth it he will not be a happy camper.
18. Intimidation Factor: 5 - He doesn't actively try to be intimidating, but you know... He's like half demon.
19. Sense of Humor: 3 - His wit far outpaces his sense of humor, and most of his jokes are ones only he can laugh at or take pleasure in.
20. Threat Assessment: 7 - He's not exactly a suspicious guy, thinking most of the evil in the world comes from demons and their worshipers, but his true sight thing makes him very perceptive.
Comes out to 104, but oh well.

Am I like the only one who doesnt take RPin seriuosly? Its a hobbie not a job.It is a hobby, and I want it to be fun. Fun for me is reading and writing good characters.Mhm, and I'd rather do a hobby relatively well than poorly, personally.
Great guide Patty! I'm glad to see I did gude with Bob! :PYes, his self-loathing also had a bittersweet, tongue-in-cheek humourous element as well. :P And as you can tell, a lot of the virtues/flaws stem from Greek tragedies, which the OP of the flaw/virtue list notes.
I'll rate some characters soon. Not Base though, he's the most sueish of all my characters... :P I'm thinking Kitanga, Dag'rema, Nakresh, or Skreel.
I'm planning on using this for Nie and Raina as well, when I flesh them out more as well, heh. Moar edits. There is a villain thread by Edanna, the author of the heroic flaws/virtues thread. It's
this
, and I'll be adding it to the guide shortly.

,

(Ok I copied Morec's list and replaced it with my own things. I didn't have time to write on out =P )
2. Wit (9) - He prides himself on his wit.
3. Intelligence (7) - He makes mistakes, but still considers himself intelligent.
4. Physical Prowess (2/6) - In Blood Elven form he uses a knife and relies on sneak attacks. In Worgen form he is strong, but lacking finesse.

16. Resourcefulness (5) - Can adapt sometimes, but it is hard in others.
17. Recovery (5) - Weak, but recovers quickly.

Awesome guide Patty. Added to the list of
Helpful Threads
, because of requests and it covers quite a bit of... well, pretty much everything that can be posted in this forum.
Could you, perhaps, add references to the various threads and such you mention? There's quite a few already, but I noted some that didn't, which would make it flawless - in my personal opinion. :)

Nice guide here. I just have one sticking point at the moment:
Good: <name> stands at 5’10, with violet skin and green hair, with silver eyes. She usually wears a silk gown of the Sisters of Elune.
5-foot-10 is
really
short for a Night Elf...
I know, it was paraphrased, so I made up the height on the spot. :P

Ohh, This is awesome Patty! going to go figure out where Gigget stands on these, as well as the human priest I'm working on. I'll post both when I finish. Until then, you rock :D
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback and ego inflation. :P
