I tried to write something about zombie apocalypse once. When almost all characters were ready, I have added a gamer who had to turn almost everything to joke.

So, when I am trying to write something serious, I am adding a joker. And... actually, looks like I just can't write seriously. x) Or maybe that's all my characters fault. Lately I write only fanfics. When it comes to RPG(which is my favorite genre), almost all my favorite main characters are jokers. Sometimes I hate my Shepard for this.
Actually, I never had to kill somebody in my stories. But I don't think that this will be a problem for me. If this is not my favorite character. But if it is, it must be heroic sacrificing!
Yes, I can write something if I have nothing to play or no one to bother.

But almost always I confine myself with ideas(you can't even imagine how many companions for Skyrim I've dreamed up

). And some time ago I've decided to create my own play-by-post RPG. So if I have nothing to do, I try to spend my time on it.

But because of my damn laziness... well, let's say that everything moves veeeery slowly.
You are warned! I can be veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery talkative!

Even more than now!
And I like your interpretation!

For now, in my opinion, you are keeping him in character very well.
