Musing on writing, plus meme

winterI've been writing fanfic sporadically at best over the past year or so, but that doesn't mean I haven't been writing. Several original projects are circling at the edge of my consciousness; Roses for Lucifer are threatening to blossom into something even bigger; and of course there is the cowritten soap opera that I promise will be available for consumption. Soon. I've got it all saved until mid-July, all 400 scenes of it!
In the meantime, meme - and even though I haven't posted anything with them yet, I'd love if someone asked about POTC characters. I may have signed up for a ficathon, and this time no Project From Hell on the horizon to interfere with it :)
Name a character that you know I write or have written (or roleplay or have roleplayed), and I’ll tell you:
a. What initially prompted me to like the character enough to write about him/her
b. One of his/her best traits
c. One of his/her worst traits
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future

Epiales. He needed someone to take care of him, or rather to step on him, and then the stepper-on looked up at Than and facepalmed.
b. One of his/her best traits
Caring. It's a more personal thing than Than's obsession on duty: he cares personally, big-brother-like.
c. One of his/her worst traits
Being deathly afraid of saying things out loud when they concern feelings. It took him over two millennia to tell Than he loves hir, and Arin is still waiting.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
Sometimes he just flows, especially with Amidio and Epiales, often also with Than. But when his emotions go into play - oy vey. That's why I'm lucky there's Epiales around, because just like with Than's angels, he steps in to express the feelings Hypnos can't.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
I have to say I keep going back to the first story, when Than calls on him after finding Azrael. It's him, dutiful and caring and afraid for his strong and fragile brother-sister.
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future
I'll probably have to write his first meeting with Vlad fairly soon ~_~
