What should you know about your main character?

Sorry, I guess I misinterpreted what you were getting at.
Actually, I think I may have been projecting a bit. Now I feel like a jerk.

Don't waste your time feeling like a jerk, it doesn't do either of us or the OP any good.

I will see your "projection" and raise you one "overdeveloped defensive counter-attack instinct."
