Hey don't mean to be a troll by being anonymous; I'll happily give email if asked I just don't have an lj account.
But what I wanted to say is, why does MC have to be special? The 'everyman hero' is as trite and overused as the 'chosen one' tool. Couldn't he merely be himself caught up in his aunts own blunders? He doesn't necessarily have to be special.
And as for motivation and goal, isn't loving his mother enough? You said he doesn't like girls yet like that was the sole motivation to go on adventures/rescue someone. Friendship and family love can be just as much of a motivator. I don't get why they're so underutilized.
