I'll admit it.
I'm a sucker for waif-fu -- the petite female character who can wipe the floor with someone twice her size. I know it's thoroughly implausible in most settings (aikido and judo notwithstanding), but I end up coming back to it and "pint-sized powerhouse" on the male side. Maybe it's the whole "David versus Goliath" thing, or maybe I've spent too much time watching Whedon's work.
Other than that, like Clover, I tend to make my characters relatively young (late teens to early-mid twenties), as I can personally get more character growth out of them and I feel that age range works better in the "monomyth" structure. My monomyth "mentor" characters are all usually NPCs -- I've never been able to play one for an extended period.
