I think I know why Chilly's characters are bland: not just because they haven't had development (due to Chilly's lack of storywriting expertise), but also because they're easier to roleplay. Easier to roleplay? I'm not sure of that. In fact, I'd argue they're harder to roleplay for anyone other than him, since we don't have a clear idea of what their personalities are like. At least I'd find it hard to roleplay characters which personalities are just generic and bland. Regarding this post, I doubt roleplaying a personality-less character is hard. All you have to do is just try and give it as less personality as possible. That's the problem! I simply can't roleplay a personality-less character: Sooner or later, I end up giving them my own headcanon personalities. I do that sometimes, so to make a character different from another with a similar personality, I tend to improvise by making his/her backstory and other information different, so that the character I create doesn't end up sounding like a rip-off as much as possible.

But for Chilly's case, I don't think he's even trying. I've seen him constantly giving his ideas on new characters, with very little info and a lack of personality. Some of his new character ideas are very similar to ours, with little or no differences! Is it weird that what you just said describes somewhat how the 80% of my cast came to be?
