Thank you for the nice words BPP and Zsasz! Actually, I do like the ideas behind Zsasz's Gladiator character. A guy whose actions are almost controlled by the reactions of the crowd, is pretty interesting. Definite room for character development and inner conflict.
A little more on my character, Most of my friends are girls. Over time I just picked up on their way of speaking and general attitudes. I've also never had much of a problem making people laugh
