Kelsier. :) Expanding that, however, I feel that in general, other people are telling stories about “dirtier” characters and doing it well. I don’t feel characters who are generally good characters are any less realistic, however–in fact, almost everyone I know is more like Vin or Dalinar. They want to be good people, they TRY to be good people. Fantasy has taken a very dark turn in many ways, and this is fine, but it is not the type of story or characters in which I am interested. That doesn’t mean I won’t ever do it. There are some far more borderline characters mixed into some of the series, but they are more the exception than the rule.
