Understood.

Weaknesses, now that's interesting to see. I've always believed that a good character needs to have some kind of flaw. Giving your characters flaws is one of the best ways to make them interesting and make them much less Mary Sueish on the way. Though of course, character flaws only count if they actually create trouble for the character that has this weakness.

For example, my OC Red Fork's main flaw is that he's reckless sometimes, jumping into action without thinking much about the consequences. Although his proactivity rewards him sometimes, being reckless leads him to get himself in troubles sometimes. The point I'm getting to is that to make a character flaw effective, it needs to affect the character's performance story-wise in some way. Does your characters' arrogance play against them in some scenario?
