Re: "Poll" - the follow-up

"It's interesting how people commented on the lack of personality info. I assumed it would be inherent in the description: intelligent, dedicated, energetic, charitable, friendly, outgoing, and kind. But I'll make a note that describing one's life doesn't automatically show what they're like as a person."

Yep. All the things you listed are informative, but only a limited extent. It reads like a checklist, and it doesn't give you the whole picture or a personality. Say you're looking to buy a house and someone tells you that it's got three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen, lots of closet space, an unfinished basement and a two car garage. Do you feel like you know this house based on that info alone? Or does it maybe sound like a generally positive but really generic description that only gives you a superficial idea of what to expect? It's the same for your character description.

As for it being based on your brother, I kind of suspected that's what you were doing. I'm still sort of skeptical about how realistic it is. Now, I'm fully down with the idea that this is what your brother looks like on the surface, but I have a really difficult time believing that there's nothing more to him that might mar the appearance of perfection. I'd bet good money that he's got a lot more insecurities and doubts than you or others might realize and he might even be surprised to find out that your perception of him makes him sound relatively flawless.
