My favorite type of characters are pretty much normalish in backstory.
I believe very strongly that I don't want an extraordinary character, I want a character where extraordinary things happen around her. She's normal for the world, usually a farmer or a priestess or a pirate, but crazy things happening around her and how she reacts are the most fun.
I don't want to play that I'm super powerful. At the end of the day, it's boring. Where's the conflict if I can beat anyone who come across my path? Where's the drama if I can't train to get better because I'm already the best? I once played a special snowflake character when I first got into MMO RP, the worst part was people LET ME. She was one dimensional and uninteresting and used her power as a crutch to make her interesting. Never again.
This normalcy never makes her boring! It's Final Fantasy, for instance. She's fought Garleans, Got skipped ahead in time at Carteneau, looked for ancient Allagan artifacts, been possessed by a Voidsent. These aren't grand things about her, but they happened TO her and made her grow.
In general, I tend to lie to play confident, snarky, flirty types. Those are the most fun for me, though I will admit playing Armi the exact opposite of that in this game has actually been a lot of fun. I still have Loki for my snarky girl
