Seeing as how we all can relate to the Forgotten Realms and Dungeons & Dragons when it comes to character creation and depth of personality, why don't we try and think up what we would be? You can make one character or a party made of different parts of yourself.
Me, for example, I would have a party like this, in 3rd Edition
Galuf the Dwarf
Neutral Good
Gold Dwarf
Male
Bard
10 Str
16 Dex
12 Con
16 Int
8 Wis
16 Cha
I'm decent around people, with rather strong (though impulsive) personality and intellect. My eyes catch things about as quick as my hands, generally when it comes to details of objects and surroundings.
Flaudia
Lawful Neutral
Human
Female
Druid
10 Str
10 Dex
12 Con
12 Int
18 Wis
14 Cha
A rather cryptic individual, often seeming to concentrate on something that isn't physically there. She has quite an affinity to animals, and almost prefers at times to wish to be one instead of being an ordinary human. She can stand to be around people, though her patience has a limit, especially when the complexity of civilized life comes alive.
Haerdaq
Chaotic Good
Half-Orc
Male
Barbarian
18 Str
12 Dex
16 Con
10 Int
12 Wis
6 Cha
A loathsome individual, he prefers to quell his fury in the face of adversity, so that none others will suffer at the hand of anger. He likes to see smiles on the faces of those that are freed by his actions, which speak for him rather than his words. He exited his tribe to see for himself what the world was like. He may not be the TOUGHEST of all warriors in his tribal home, but his will to fight what he sees throughout the world is enough to make him seem a threat to those who oppose him.
Mordaine
Lawful Good
Human
Watcher of Helm
10 Str
10 Dex
12 Con
10 Int
18 Wis
16 Cha
A vigilant seer of what goes on, this priest will not stop until all that brings safety to the innocent is laid upon them. He wants every problem that a person has to be solved, whether by marching in to a situation and delegating, or healing by the whim of the restless guardian god he serves. He'll combat spells, spirits, and hell-spawn alike if only to save even the simplest of things from agony. Though he may seem a little misdirected in his simple crusades of security, his ultimate wish to feel benevolence and true accomplishment in his veins.
Grindle
Chaotic Neutral
Lightfoot Halfling
Female
Rogue
8 Str
20 Dex
12 Con
18 Int
6 Wis
12 Cha
A rather wiley girl, she revels in finding interesting things: objects, traps, etcetera. She loves treasure, and to take more than she is meant to. She'll pick locks, disarm anything that can come to harm, if only to make her way to some trinkets. It's not that she'll harm individuals for them, but if anything isn't too precious, she'll be glad to take it off of them. Treasure is about as necessary to her well-being as is food and rest, and without it, she's not herself.
Aielia
True Neutral
Moon Elf
Female
Wizard
10 Str
18 Dex
10 Con
18 Int
10 Wis
10 Cha
This elf is not without a thought to whatever she sees. Whether it's an arcane phrase she tries to decipher, or why leaves turn colors in autumn, she seeks knowledge in order to pave the way to a complete understanding of all. She prefers knowledge of whatever to honor and victory. Though, if that gets in the way, she'll do what it takes. For her, getting there is only half the fun. She absorbs facts like a sponge, and utilizes what she gains to advantages in the future, if it be strategy, or understanding magic, or even just knowing why she exists. Facts dominate her, and she works at their whim.
Well, what about any of you?
