Poll: Do you have a standard character you create across multiple games?

[Shoggoth2588]

I use the same type of character (keeping in mind that I generally go through those kinds of RPGs more than once with different characters). I almost always start out with a male rouge who duel-wields daggers. I try making characters who look like me only with wild hair-colors (favoring purple and blue). As for rouges, I favor the kind who can talk his way into and out of all situations, not the kind that can become invisible though those are pretty fun at times.

My characters don't usually look the same, but they're usually sniper types that choose the "good guy" options, though not in all cases (I tend not to help annoying NPCs)

 

[Frotality]

it depends on the customization options. if i can, i try to make them like me, but i have...unique hair, so i usually go with some gruff, no-nonsense bearded jerkass with a heart of gold, or a murderous ganondorf-looking fella out to have all the EVIL fun he can. i actually have a cabal of various archetypes, but usually one of those is possible; in games like DAO where theres good reason to have multiple characters, i usually include 1 or 2 females as well, but rarely play them to the same depth as my personal bipolar expy.

 

[The Gnome King]

Obviously my Commander Shepard is the same from ME 1 to 2, and will be the same in 3, but that's because I didn't have to make him over again.

Usually I make new characters when I play a different game series, but I try to stay with a central theme if I can.

How about all of you? Got a character that crosses dimensions often?

I tend to like... gnomes.

But, failing that, mages/magic users.

In Mass Effect it was the bionics users. (Except the Sentinel armor in ME2 was too cool to pass on.)

And in games like Fallout 3 I like the "chatty Cathy" type characters with perks like Confirmed Bachelor or Lady Killer and high, high intelligence/speech because I'm a dialog-whore who loves seeing every ounce of dialog/storytelling in my games.

And they all tend to have shaved heads if I can manage it... hmm...

I use the same name, if I can, and play w/e way I want.
