AvA characters are some of my favorite characters of the fandoms I'm in (which isn't really saying much considering I'm not in many fandoms, but still).

I don't have many problems with the characters and how they're written. But there is one that I'm here to talk about for way too long.

The "good guys" are just too good.

Let me explain.

When's the last time you saw one of the main cast not trust someone that was never an antagonist?

The CG feel too pure, they always make up instantly. The only trust issues are with antagonists who are either pure evil, or have twice the emotion and personality than the protags. (For example, Chosen had this sort of frazzled not thinking in Wanted where he's just so damn desperate and probably scared and confused that he doesn't think about what he's doing and how it affects someone else, not realizing until much later, if he even does realize.)

My heart is for the morally gray characters, the flawed protagonists, the ones who aren't fully pure, but end up being "right" or doing things for the good of everyone else.

I want an arc in AvA 6 where Chosen stops trusting Second for some reason, or something like that.

Another reason I love Purple is the fact that they feel so real with all their character flaws. The mutual distrust was just perfect.

I want people not trusting each other. Especially Second. I want the little nervous stick coming back with this "please don't do it again" stance.

I want the someone to have to protect someone else from the "good guy." A sort of "I thought you were on our side" thing that doesn't end up in a reveal that it wasn't actually them.

Every time one of the CG betrays the others, it turns out to be some sort of other.. thing pretending to be them (or in Red's case, possessed them).

I don't have a good way to end this, so..
