For me, the character needs to fit in their surrounding and fit with the lore of the game. I don't care if they're an average Joe or Tits McGee. I would also say something that's well written - not necessarily award winning, but nothing to make you cringe.
But how this game is set out appeals to me, I would struggle to RP in something like WoW, but here, the human condition is more present, though there is 'dark' and 'light' as per the crystals, but really, those considered good and bad have human traits that show that they have good and bad aspects to them. The kind of characters I like are therefore easier for me to write, because I write with both dark and light and often bring about the human condition. Yes, I wanted to be a pirate, but I feel I was realistic about it and consider that the stereotypes really don't apply. Granted alcohol is strongly present, but it's not like the stuff of children's stories.
Essentially I would say a character that makes themselves convincing in their environment.
Whilst Saefinn is a Pirate Captain, X'hayu is a Sultansworn, Steinn is an entreprenuer - all pretty high roles, I play them realistically - or so I like to believe. I also have Uhanu'sae, who is a sailor, Oskar who is a labourer (though he is my antagonist, which makes him more interesting) and I am to introduce Felix, Oksar's brother.
But truthfully, I don't enjoy the 'normal' characters so much. I feel the setting of Final Fantasy permits me to being your average Joe. I don't think either is wrong. It's about what you're happy RPing and if you can be convincing, then I'm sure people will want to RP with you. Suppose it depends on the crowd, you can't please everybody.
