Umm, I really won't get much out of this since my character is just to insane for it to work. (He has two major personalities with totally different views/abilities/loyalties.) and it's fantasy, but I can try though. I guess I'll post it here... I think my character could use more work. AAAAAAAAAAH I'm on chapter 23 already. Oh well, I know I need to edit everything... (If you didn't guess the last two sentences were after I finished.)
