Oh my-- well, in writing a section for my latest app, I think one of my main draws toward any character, and what makes them long-term playable for me, is either a canon arc of personal growth or whether I see a straight shot to doing it. Theon's my most blatant example at the moment, but it's a total commonality. Like in Stan's case, my aim is to take him to the bottom and let him get back up, rather than having him walk the path in his canon.

The fun thing about this is that for the most part, it's pretty rare for me to feel any of them is totally finished.
