Hello everyone
Please guys looking for some advice Will highly be appreciated.

I came to the UK on a tourist Visa I overstayed for two months in a week Applied for asylum on August 2011 then been granted five years August 2012, and 2017 been granted indefinite leave to remain as a refugees.
So my question would the good character affect me if I’m playing now and if yes how long do you have to wait? Thanks in advance

Yes it will as you were in the UK with no valid leave for 2 months.

Likely the earliest you can apply for citizenship is 2021 but probably safer to apply 10 years from date you got leave to remain, so August 2022.
