Also, why are all my characters either: a) assassins; b) violent war-type people; c) criminal; d) insane or badly traumatised; e) all of the above; or f) boring? Not that I'm, you know, worried about the answer or anything.
Or it could just be the stuff your brain is trying to work out, to understand, to get a grip on because it's so different. ;-) I used to have quite a lot of rogues floating around my head, back when I was in college. Now my characters are older, more cynical, and less "black-and-white". Life has its ways of smoothing one's rough edges, or such.
Use the edginess while you've got the energy and write up all those errant rogues and madmen (or women) while they're popping up. You never know when your subconcious will shift over to Grandma Next Door (with A History, of course). ;-)
