Im in if you want i have this idea typed up to a certain extent, its more of a diablo esque dungeon crawler but scaled way down. and if you cant tell i would like to develop a game

Any character must have a name which in a sense means something even if most people might not get it. For example, Andrew Ryan is a anagram for Ayn Rand the person who came up with the Philosophy of Objectivism. which serves as a backbone to BioShock one. Even Jack Fontaine alias Atlas is a reference to Atlas Shrugged the book that most people call Ayn Rand's magnum opus and the book which outlines Objectivism. A name must mean something because they help define a character, like Master chief, he is know by his military rank, one so its easier for a a player to take the role of Master Chief, and second so get get the impression that this man is the type of person who has devoted him self to the military, and as such has become a true a super solider.

The most Interesting antagonist is one that you know little of, and see even less of. If you look at the movie Jaws, why is the shark scary, because you never see it until the end. Also look at Amnesia: The Dark Decent, you almost never come across the enemies in the game, and you don't hear from the main Antagonist till almost half way through the game. if you have the ability to fill in the gaps that exist in the story, the character becomes more menacing, since he is part your own creation and as such can scare you and get at you a lot more.
