Date: 2013-12-03 12:51 am (UTC)Mostly how he's treated in the canon, having the worst luck with the ladies (it's been corrected somewhat as of s7), and playing the straight man have intrigued me. I think there's a lot to Gus than what is seen on the surface.
b. One of his/her best traits
Gus is extremely loyal. Lesser men would've gotten off the crazy train years ago, but not Gus. It's admirable and why I love Gus so much--well, this and the fact that Gus is awesome even without being likened to the sidekick of the duo. Shawn needs Gus as much as Gus needs Shawn.
c. One of his/her worst traits
That he's often considered the "safer" choice. In comparison to Shawn, Gus is the reliable one, the one you can bring home to meet the parents. Gus represents stability, or--to put it a worse way--stagnation. He often seems to be doing only what is being expected of him, and being...well, safe.
d. How easy/difficult I find it to write the character
Relatively easy. Gus is a firm character in terms of his morals, and values, and I find that to be a good focus from which to spring.
e. The story/chapter/paragraph/phrase where I feel that I truly captured the character
Honestly, I don't think I have yet (pretty much everything I've written that has featured Gus has been so short).
f. My plans (if any) to write the character in the near future
Maybe? I've kinda moved away from being fannish about the show, but I'd never say never.
