Sheridan can be really fun to write if you treat him as comic relief. He can be a bit of a buffoon, especially in relation to the Minbari. And he has a voice which is very easy to imitate, because it's so colloquial. On the other hand, his voice is also very American (and so is his personality), which may be why he's hard for you to write.
But, Sheridan's principles in life are very simple: (although he'd never formulate them, because that would violate #2) 1) always act 2) never think twice 3) don't regret anything 4) always rely absolutely on your own moral compass 5) any problem can be solved by immediate, powerful action
These principles have done him well in life, but can get him in trouble as well. (Although not as often as I'd have liked to see, since they're principles that would be liable to land one in trouble.) And I suppose it is a peculiarly American code of ethics.
