I'd combine hax with high tiers- it comes to the same conclusion anyhow.

Philosophical? Eh. I rarely bother with philosophy since people tend to bend it to suit themselves and it really has no clear definition and uh... my characters that did have a bit of philosophy behind them always struck me as pretentious (looking at you, Wormwood). I want... substance, I guess is the word, in a character. I don't want overplayed ideology, I don't want characters who can just wipe out the planet they stand on with a single thought... people substitute this for what should actually make the character, the story, who that character is.

It's hard to explain in words, sorry.
