Nah, but truly, my opinion of Vaaros thus far would be that his weakness is the pretense that he has none. He seems to find himself very invulnerable, very intelligent, very everything... and should, and will, find out that he is not.
Samantha! The volatile former paladin of some god that I can't remember. Like most paladins she strikes me as prideful but unlike most paladins she tempers her pride with compassion. Granted, her compassionate side seems to get her into sticky situations that could otherwise be avoided. So that's probably bordering on a flaw. She also seems to have an addictive personality, or she simply loves the juice too much. She doesn't deal well with failure and, in the time I've interacted with her, appears to consistently fail at relationships. Probably because she's too withdrawn and enjoys keeping people at arms length through witty retorts or, failing that, a swift punch to the goolies.

Sorry Pigeon I dont know any of your PC's yet, only that you came back recently;) So just Ice strategy - 'anybody below me is welcomed to refer to the dude above, if you know him - if not, the show must go on' !

Sweet hin shadowdancer who shows marvellous potential to die young and painfully.
At first sight Cynbel doesn't seem like one should ever take her seriously, but the truth is, she knows too much. Seriously, she knows far too much. No wait, FUCKING EVERYTHING. That's why I think she's so dead already. She knows many people, too, and apparently gets along well with those of them she should rather stay miles away from, for her own good. With -totally- charismatic and convincing personality like hers, if she ever tries threatening anyone, such person would DIE from laughter. However pretty smart this hin is, Cynbel can be even too cautious sometimes. And yeah, I have to agree with Ice on that she's slightly naive and can be easily fooled.
Also, she can't furnish an appartment. Pays over 2 millions for a damn Ioun. Drinks ALE (it sucks, I know, right?). I'd also hazard saying she actually enjoys Nevadan's jokes, but such a flaw would be too much and totally ruin her reputation.
Anyway, it is still mostly a sweet hin shadowdancer and a excellent character, notoriously able to surprise both me and my character. But honestly, she's so dead.
EDIT: Damn sneaky ninja-ing genderless kobolds. You're so dead too, Zam.
I've always noticed Nevadan always seems to be... hard to approach- well not for Rico, but in general. I mean, you talked to people covered in blood! How can you expect to make friends when they're probably ready to zap out their leyline wand!

Rico, so far's only really been fun. The only flaw I can point out... I saw him walking around topless talking about his nipples being cold... Completely shattered the idea of a serious shadow-potato summoner.
Shade may behave like a kid most of the time, chaotic, just seeking to have fun and this and that, but that's the facade to hide the broken being that lies below. He's severely scarred by his past and his own nature, and those scars are often visible. If you get to talk to him for a while, he'll turn darker and darker until, in all the blackness, you can really see what he is. And he ain't the wiser of 'em all either.
About Kard;
Kard. Monk. Monk monk monk monk of Bahamut! As any monk, Kard is a tranquil individual, perhaps too calm and impassive, and he doesn't laugh at Ais' jokes at all (?). He hides or drowns most of his emotions as he should, which drives him cold and awkward to deal with. His blind devotion toward Bahamut is, duh, blind, which is fine but still a flaw. Sometimes I got the hint that he's easily depressed and scared of his own power, or what he could do with his own power, or the possibilities of power. Etc.
Just before I fall asleep, I like to pretend it's just a public feat so Pigeon can succeed in politics and save the world from poverty... with his unicorn and shining armour and Excalibur.
Ais is adorable but a bit Uppity. Frugdar has yet to meet him however!
He knows him! Or are you going to tell me that after all the slashes in the back, or after getting to hang the barbarian upside down in the tree Frug didn't get to know him a little bit? :P

Oy, I forgot about that! Frugdar knows Ais then and thinks he's got no honor in battle.
He can be more infuriating than some of the worst fey with his pranks and non sequiturs. He waffles between bubbly and stoic, but doesn't seem to have much of an inbetween. He can also be an arrogant little prick- when he thinks he's right few things sway him, and even fewer people try because 9 times out of 10 all they'd be rewarded with is a headache. He also has the attention span of a fly, and unless he's taunting Fwuzzy or Gorthod he ads little to most conversations (unless he feels the need to whisper something particularly insightful, then stay quiet for another hour.)
Also pretty vain with a penchant for women who have a willful (some might say crazy) streak.

Alanna seems to throw herself in situations that could culminate in her demise with a limited chance of success far too often. That could also be seen as a virtue but to me it strikes me as a limited sense of self preservation. She's also very trusting of individuals that don't really deserve it. She's prone to bouts of anger when things don't go her way, and at times, defeatism thinking. She's definitely driven more by her passion (to me, at least) more often than she is her intellect. That said, sometimes that works in her favour over other's attempting to dissect a problem with shrewd logic. She can occasionally lose sight of what's truly important in favour of a goal that has influenced the majority of her actions on Amia.
... this thread is really hard to respond to without specific examples that might ruin plots.

Apparently is a cager. I've never seen him to check. This is obviously a dreadful flaw, in that to observe something would define it in quantum terms and he is unobservable thus far.
And ... yeah. plots. He's a dragon secretly. Dat Gorthod eh?

Female Drow Syndrome.
Female Drow syndrome is a common affliction that inherently affects many Drow of the lolthite female variety. They try to scare the absolute bejesus out of you with their spikes and their whips and their quick draw nature when it comes to torture that they just seem to lose any sense of humanity beyond their own perception of perfection.: at the expense of everyone else.
Despite this being a central theme about Drow as a race, this is quite a critical flaw when honed like a dagger as most priestesses tend to do. When mixed with the instilled zealotry of religious doghma, it makes for a very lethal combination of blind, bare knuckle motivation which has the power to either make an empire, or destroy one.
But then again... Destroying an empire is just as rewarding as standing atop one. Such is the Drow way.
Quite annoying most of the times, as it's hard to understand what does she want and why does she act this way. Also making a small commotion wherever she goes. Apart from that hard to understand what she want to say sometimes. Well, maybe most of the time. Or maybe Cyn just can't focus enough to understand (;
Rage. Dirgesh has a good heart, but perhaps too strong of one - injustice is not tolerated, and is typically answered with extreme prejudice. This unfortunately earns him a lot of enemies, because people often work in the exact opposite way - they are routinely unfair, but also lenient. Still, he is generally a good guy, which earns him many staunch allies as well. Dirgesh is one of those guys who people love or hate, not too much in-between.
I recall back when I had Feyne - Feyne being a typical xenophobic wood elf wouldn't treat Dirgesh with an iota of respect, nor would he back down at any amount of intimidation. They almost fought, despite Dirg outleveling him by at least 10 levels every step of the way. They competed a bit over Sedira, who was Feyne's lover at the time, and it was likely only her influence which stopped them gutting each other in the streets.
Well I only know Lucius. Very self-obsessed lich thing. Is he actually a lich? I don't really know because his interactions are so brief and mostly dismissive in nature. Has the knack for always making you feel like you are intruding on something -much-more-important-, even when you're doing him a favor.
Carries an aura of confidence that whatever she does seems to be the right thing to do while lacking the insight to evaluate her current position. Other than that it is some kind of female dark skinned creature which makes my PC judgemental of it :p

Rico is short, speaks with weird accent and swears on him mum, whatever that is supposed to mean. As an inventor of 'shadowbathing', the mysterious technique of bathing in the shadows, he probably never baths properly. He's also responsible for letting a certain assassin learn a few tricks and reckless to the point of suggesting involvement for the same assassin into a certain project, possibly negating its chances of success. Also, he has a thing for pantless men in pink shirts to the level of painting them at any opportunity, unless it's some new artistic trend I'm not aware of.
Unfortunately all I know about Nevadan is that he's comically inept at his own job. I hear he's quite reckless and overconfident, leading him to expose himself and get into trouble quite easily. This is compounded by the fact that he's not remotely endearing, so nobody likes him enough to stop him from doing horrible things to himself.
I think most of the things about Velden was already written in this thread.
What first comes into my mind is jealousy. Also don't fall to the first impression of a cold cool-headed person. Emotionally unstable and inconsistent. Gets to attached to his friends. The feeling of guilt if something happens to them in the outcome of his own plans gets him mad. Also a little explosive temperament. Overly trustful maybe? But then again it doesn't get him into troubles. Although he has a knack to fall into problems, but probably because he tries to be in the middle of interesting events. Having a lot of ideas, but not enough time to put them into effect. Always plotting and intriguing. Paranoid, all the time checking for any sneakers around, likes to be prepared for /every/ possibility, carrying with himself /everything/ I could think of IG. Well that might not be a flaw... But what is a flaw at the end?
Cynbel - lately I noticed she does not care about consequences, as long as they don't appear. Then she is angry Also she is not easily trusting, though somehow manages to be naive for some.
I think Laiath is overconfident. He regularly attempts to step forward and become the hero, risking dire consequences doing so. Noted during the Spine of the World campaign, he would stray as far forward with a marching group as possible.
However I believe, to say a perk, he seems very caring about others. He regularly checked up on how people were coping during said campaign.

A black bear rests on the grass and waits for his hin master to scratch its back or to feed him. That hin is however too busy collecting apples and brewing alchool. That poor bear awaits patiently as his mistress is shamelessly planning to get the world drunk for her to rule over.. or perhaps she just enjoys brewing alchool and offering it at the inn, after all?
Loyal mount and future co-ruler of Amia, the faithful bear awaits, dreaming of mead not yet turned into mead.
At first meeting, overly vain and concerned with how she appears to others for hailing from a bloodline of outworld cricket centaurs. Never gathers with kin to rub legs in concert.
Lithen, from the experience I have had from watching her, seems to have the flaw of being a lost puppy of sorts! If others are doing something she does not have interest in at all, yet is friends with some of the people involved, she will linger and endure a conversation that clearly bores her as not to seem like she values her friendship any less.
That is an observation I've made!

Captor suffers from reverse dwarfism, and compensates for his lost shortness with inventions; alas, short of making his own metal dwarven body, none of his epic crafts may ever fill that deep dark void. The dwarves love him as kin regardless. (I love the contrast between him and the stunties, though)
Brokilon "Gladewalker" Lealithyl. WELL! I have never had the pleasure of encountering you In-Game, so, I took the liberty of following your link to Amiawiki. (Happy sidenote: I haven't looked in ages and I loved seeing you add new things to it. I totally forgot about it! Thank you.) What I found there was Brokilon is a stylish elf, if such a thing exists, because he has what some might call "elvish flair." Really, since this is a "how flawed" topic I'm going to admit that the phrase just made me think of Mean Girls, and when Tina Fey has a million buttons on her bartending outfit and how that really is a real thing in some restaurant chains and they call it "flair" and truly it's quite ugly... but... I digress. He's probably stylish. If a druid can be. I also found out he is a member of The Grove and Winya! So, while I've never roleplayed with him, and still, this is a "flaws" topic, I will assume that he is either:
A) A stuck-up elf who thinks everyone else is below him B) A loner who avoids people and rolls around in the mud Or C) A defender of nature and/or elven culture. (Which I'm choosing to make a flaw here for the sake of humor.)
I really choose D) All of the above.
Other than that, I know he has a raptor as his animal companion and that sounds terrifying. Birds with sharp talons are scary. What I really WANT to know, and keeping to my rambling post here, that I hope helps this person and character feel flattered that I spent so much time dissecting them as I don't know them, is why Gladewalker is there? GLADEWALKER? Maybe it's just the translation of the elvish... but... maybe it's more.
Spot-on analysis. Brokilon is the Meanest Girl. "Gladewalker" was intended to be the name he would offer up to non-elves, but in actuality, I never used it that way, so it's stuck there. For now. Also, I love the Amia wiki and I hope I can add more to it in the future, like maybe bits of lore on the place Brokilon comes from- if that's permitted.
I have seen Sam in game, but I never approached her, and now I kinda feel bad for it. I think I found her wiki page, too, so I'll do my best at analyzing it!
According to the page:
Sam is lawful good, but was formerly a Kohlinger, so she probably converted from lawful evil . Kidding. But what I can gather from that is she follows her own moral code, one that she believes to be the right path- and Kohlingen might not agree with it. She lives in the wilderness, so she probably feels ostracized from the goodly society, due to either her own will or theirs. Judging by her chosen quote, it seems like she wants to get on well with others, but they just wont let her! I've seen her speaking with some apparently neutral folk (like a certain merchant, for example) which may mean that she can only be cordial with people who don't feel strongly one way or the other. Also she's n'tel'quessir scum and was formerly called "Wererat". Or there is an affiliation called Wererat with which I am unfamiliar.
The flaw that would be noted ICly might be that Samantha, albeit Madrik knows who she is and not anything about her, would be her seemingly complete lack of sincerity. Serious situations are remarked about with pithy things or witty observations whilst not contributing a whole lot to the situation itself. Again, this would be Madrik's perspective, but Samantha's air-headed lack of clarity and too carefree attitude is what causes her life to be ended- times in which Madrik would recall casting a Resurrection on her body both from combat and from trying to waltz passed the Neverones.
Where Sam's a little too glib at the worst of times, Madrik is morose even among friends. He speaks little, not at all in social situations. Seems to prefer to stay to the outskirts. Can be rather hard-headed in certain situations, believing in his own intuition even above empirical evidence. When he's certain of something, it's hard to stop him.
He's also got a serious martyr-complex, so much so that the weight of it follows him around and seems to stop folk from trying to get very close to him. He risks danger without a second thought and is the first to offer himself up for the good of the group, even if his death wouldn't accomplish very much. As a man concerned so much with history, he seems to view his own life not in the present, but as the tale he will eventually leave behind- his legacy as remembered by people he will never meet concerns him more than the views of those who currently surround him.

Isn't a dwarf either. As what kind of dwarf doesn't drink?
But on a more serious note, Whurak does seem to have a penchant for saying the complete and utter wrong thing, and relishing in it. Even if it does bring him trouble down the line. One might think he'd have learnt to be more careful, but I'd almost say it's just made him more daring and rebellious against society's norms!

Phrae is, by quite a bit, more stubborn than a mule. She also continues to bear old grudges and resentment and, generally, is unwilling to let go of certain things. To top it all off, she's a drow and a bard, with the flaws inherent to each of those!
Shyllia may be a sweetheart, but she looks like a vampire. She doesn't, however, have a Vampire's natural methods of dominating and controlling people which would make her job negotiating with N'Tel'Quessir far easier. Voted #2 on the people I deem most likely to flip out and go evil at some point.
Edit: slkNihilus sniped me! You can skip mine and do him
Phyr'tana is quite possibly the bitterest sack of bitter berries ever to have been bitten by the bitterbear. It's very difficult to understand what drives her to actually hold the Eilistraeean faith aside from sheer exasperation at her old life, watching horrible things happen to her friends in the Underdark and pretty much solely being redeemed by the promise of a better life. She hates just about everyone, from what I can tell!
What was the name of Silky's old feytouched, again? Oh her - well she drowned herself after falling in love with someone her Queen didn't approve of. That counts as a flaw?
