Well, I like to see Goll and Turas as more morally correct characters. :P Krennato is dictatorial and oppressive, believing that her way of belief is correct (a religious dig, in all honesty), and Kyros and Iolan are undoubtedly two of the lowliest characters I've ever written for. :P But, in my most recent edit to Sarnii's page, I've added a section about her characterisation. I don't see her as a selfish character. She is a femme fatale, and much of her unsavory nature comes from experience rather than an internal character flaw. :P

As for Goll and Turas, they're a little more middle table. :P I like to compare Goll to Glacii, but Goll never really had the same brutal inner strength. He's a warrior who has made bad decisions. Plus, he's a lot more physically drained than Glacii. I always envision Goll being a Matoran in his early 60s whereas Glacii feels like more of a middle-aged character. One of the themes that I try to convey is that, with age, comes embitterment and that some of the older characters (Turaga Vilnius, Goll and Glacii) become poorly functioning members of society. Remember, Glacii's police department was a mess. Now that Ninian, a much more youthful and feminine character, has taken over, things look a lot more hopeful. Goll is quite similar. Although he is fairer than Glacii and is a good guy, he is old and has many sins in his past. He means well but he's way out of time and is easy swayed by the likes of Krennato and Sarnii. :P

As for Turas, I would compare him to Orkahm, or even a male version of Connla. :P I've never really seen him as a selfish character and, aside from that one, single mistake in his past (which wasn't really his fault) he's a relatively pure character.

But this discussion is excellent and I'm very pleased that you are thinking of my characters in this way and with such depth. :P It's really quite touching and, who knows, some of your ideas could even get into the story. :D

What are your thoughts on Torlo's death and what this means for Karabak's prophecy? :P
