@mgtask – What a great topic! I’ve gotten so many insights based on everyone’s responses. Along the lines of other countries/cultures getting represented, I’ve always wanted to see more based off of Russia (being the largest country in the world, there’s so many opportunities), lesser-known European countries like Croatia, and little South Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Also, I’d like to see more bi-racial characters living in a country that neither parent grew up in, or only one parent grew up in.

@phoenix – Excellent points. We need more characters who aren’t particularly talented at anything, because most of us aren’t, and it’d be far more realistic if characters had a real, personal, even selfish reason for dropping their lives to embark on a dangerous quest, instead of going for the sheer reason of being good and saving the world. Also yes! Poets as characters would be so cool. They can recite dramatic, heart-touching lines at choice points in the story. Who wouldn’t want that? XD

@naiya-dyani – Definitely agree with that last bit about friends from different races. It reminds me of my half-Vietnamese self and my Israeli swim-mate. We don’t gush about our different backgrounds every time we meet, but we do ask each other words in our languages or even just ask each other to talk in that language just to hear how nice it sounds (Hebrew, btw, sounds so, so, so cool.)
