I don't know why, but I always feel that my nation and my RP characters are "the odd man out" in any given group. They don't seem to quite fit in anywhere or with anyone. I am not sure why I feel this way.

Anyhoot, that feeling is what I consider the 'loner effect'

You have made your character so different/unique in the current plot that no one knows what to do with them, so you have been forced to the sidelines and been outcasted.

No, but the hex and such.

Generally speaking, I think most of my protagonists are people who try to do the right thing (or at their worst, make intelligent but morally questionable decisions), and fail miserably in their attempts most of the time either due to their own character flaws, their skill flaws, collective human nature, or just bad luck.

If it's the US or anyother country it's just one guy and doesn't represent the country.

If it's India, it means that all Indians are backwards rapist.

I should see that thread again if only to see the peoples reactions.

Happy is much like boy band music: Annoying, repetitive, and easily weaponized.

I'll be quite frank here, I find very very little music to be bad. Among the music that I do dislike is some over-storied operas, and the heaviest of death metal (which is quite literally growling in that it's impossible to mark their tone as a note), but I can't think of any other music I dislike.

What's the point of trying to draw in new blood with what we all pretty much agree are the most hackneyed and overused story templates?
