We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
I don't think character here is identity (who you are). In a sense, it's "moral habits." The Greek word Heraclitus used was "ethos," the root of ethics.
This is similar to the second definition for character in the Free Dictionary:
"Moral strength; integrity: an educational program designed to develop character."
