I suppose I'd say I use a mix of going with and against stereotypes to create something that feels unique, yet is also rooted somewhat in what people may expect -- both in and out of universe. However... I'm not sure how much weight that holds when it comes to certain jobs/races/etc. that we still don't have definite, one-way answers on. (Like the long-debated "tribal vs city Miqo'te" matter, for example.)
