I think what makes a good person is someone who thinks of others and takes care of themselves (so they don't become a burden to others). You don't have to be a saint, and you can still be a sinner, but in between you do the little things that make the world a better place when you're gone.
I should really write a game with Rob someday. I'm not sure if it'd be brilliant in the "that's awesome" sort of way or in the "nuclear bomb just went off" sort of way, though.
A good person is one who acts even when tired or afraid. A good person takes care of their own crap and is willing to help others with their crap when they need it. A good person knows when to ask for help. A good person works by a code of ethics that is generally good (helps those in need, protects those who need protecting and tries to leave things as good or better than when they got there). Like Lori says, not necessarily a saint and you can be a sinner. A good person is flawed and knows it.
