thank you, very much, for your tips. I think too if I do a thorough character research like that it will help me stick to a character long enough to have fun with it.. as i tend to get interested in another idea and delete before level 20.

another thing I think that holds me back is not having a solid idea of what these god/goddess characters are like beyond their helpfile info, and i worry my concept of their character might not agree completely with their concept. But, I also think this can be helped by (in character) approaching the god/dess with an initial goal to figure out who/how they are.

definitely gonna do an empowerment class on my next role.
