    I’m terrible at coming up with backstories. I guess that means I don’t have any insecurities.

      Can you remember the first time you felt insecure about your ability to come up with backstories? What was that like? And so on

    I deliberately create characters which have an interesting dynamic with other player’s characters.

    That either tells you nothing about me, or everything about me.

      Well, you sound like a team player. You place the common good (fun together) higher than individual ambitions (or maybe place your own worth very low, I can’t tell from one sentence, but the outcome is the same).

      Saying deliberately sounds like it’s not just a thing that you find yourself doing again and again, but a conscious choice. That suggests there was a choice to make; that the option of playing a self-centered character was something you were actively aware of, but were sufficiently repulsed by it to make a point of being better than those people.

      I think you’re a nice person, empathetic, while not so entirely innocent as to not even consider the possibility, still principled and caring enough to actively defy it.

      I think you’re a net good for this world.
