They do have personality, but it ain't enough to create drama. Flaws are what make someone likeable, without 'em, they get borin'. Now, we can have a Hero more perfect than the others, that's fine, but like you said, it's borin' if they ain't got any bad sides to 'em.

For example: Warrior. If he's so good at beatin' up monsters, why would he be great at romancin'? Folks I know [meaning Sparks] have a hard time translatin' them fightin' skills to social skills.

White Mage: let me tell you, bein' in charge of patchin' up bruises while everyone keeps on gettin' hurt gets tirin'. It's dangerous if you got no way to defend yourself in the middle of a fight. Why not have White Mage be sort of a leader or be really tired after most adventures?
