As someone who has to strain her eyes to read, clear and well made post template options are a godsend. No need to strain against bad colors or neon tones; no need to struggle with trying to scroll on some sidebar that isn't even visible.

But inevitably, I've also heard the other side of the argument. That pre-made post templates and prohibitions on customized ones restrict creativity; that some players want their post templates to match the vibe of the...

For me I prefer those that have good discriptions in text only without using numbers to describe their characters, and don't forget to include their clothing choice. More then one line stuff with a personality section. For a good written one. A lot of detail, and it's not split up between sections. Like hair then they skip a line to describe the weight, then do the same for describing everything...

A lot of the best villains have tragic backstories or twisted origins, but sometimes this can go too far and create a character who's sympathetic but not threatening, or where their evil schemes are at odds with their supposed nature. Then...
