This is a question only you can answer. I don't believe you aren't aware of what good characteristics are to YOU. Everyone can give you their subjective opinion, but that isn't going to help at all. What pleases you, what do you look for--
are you serious?

I would say, the main characteristic of anyone deemed to be a good person, would be empathy. All other 'good' traits could fall under this title, but compassion, caring, understanding, and the ability to forgive, are all characteristics I would expect to find in someone I would consider as a good person.
But then again, is there such a thing as a bad person? Perhaps, some people are just misguided, or have different views on life due to upbringing, or environment. And for them, they are good people, but to others they are not. Its all about an individuals view point I think.
Hope this helps.

He/she doesn't have any specific characteristic(s) and is open to all ... but upon trying and going through different situations and circumstances is able to decide and inherit some that makes a difference for good in him/her !

your question has no answer, because it's all a matter of people's perspective. For example I think the basis of being a good person is being just, but to me being just is people getting what they deserve, but for most of the world being just is equality. Which also raises the question who decides who deserves what.
