I'll start.

Anyway,
Name: Usually my own when playing RPG's, and whatever I can get that sounds somewhat cool when I'm playing MMO's.
Race: Whatever the human-like race is
Class: Warrior, almost never use magic
Alignment: Totally Good, only game I've ever went the other way was my second playthrough of Mass Effect 2 when I tried Renegade
Class: Druid or Cleric depending
Race: elf or human
Names: Lolindir or Gideon depending on race
Edit:
Always play totally good or neutral never play "evil"

I think that my choice in characters does reflect my personality quite well looking at the ratio of my technical talk posts to help others vs. pimping and previews posts for my own art.
you mean this one? http://jon-rush.mybrute.com/ you need to play more!
Haha!
Mines is just the same as my original post.
I usually play an Elven race (I'm an Elven fanatic). I played a Night Elf Warrior for 3 years in WoW. But I also play a ranger/hunter class in RPGS/MMORPGS
I do take names and roleplaying very seriously. Infact, I just played the original Never Winter Nights demo from IGN and I was a Dark Elf Ranger, Chaotic neutral and his name was "Vaalorhym Ahk'Taurus " yeah. I usually make long names.
Like in Fallout 3, my karma was as high as it gets, but my character had a nuka cola addiction (forced myself to pick up and drink every single bottle I came over) so he killed innocents and "annoying" people for their cola or caps to buy cola. It was fun, got too addicted to the game at the end though and killed the character off in spectacular fashion with the MIRV before deleting my save and uninstalling.
Before that I was a Bothan rogue-tech who would stow away on ships and make a living doing odd jobs at space ports. One of the party members works at Bioware Austin now so here's hoping my character makes a cameo in KOTOR.
Thinking of playing some 4th ed D&D in the near future, I've tossed the idea around of a Star Pact Warlock who's slightly insane from making a pact with some unknown horror from the Farplane (D&D's version of the Cthulhu Mythos)
Before that another DM threated me with death for "borrowing" some NPCs magic hat..and everything else he owned. I guess I should try to avoid taking things that may be important plot points. Then again maybe the DM should keep them in places where I wouldn't happen across them....obviously his fault. *straightens magic hat*
This seems familiar... Does he have a pair of scimitars and a magic panther?
I'll answer your question from a DND perspective. In my 4th Ed campaign, I'm an unaligned half-elf Rogue/Shadow Assassin. I play him a good bit like a fantasy equivalent of Batman, with heavy leather armor, maple leaf-shaped shuriken and a sweet hand crossbow grappling hook. I've even got little smoke bombs that look like acorns! Mind you, he does a lot more face-stabbing than Batman, but you really can't perform a citizens arrest on a Helmed Horror...
I guess after a while I just got tired that most of the RPG/Fantasy genre took itself too damn serious, especially with all the ridiculous high fantasy stuff with all it's magic doodads'n'stuff. For all the low fantasy/low magic settings I usually play a gruff human or dwarven warrior. Name...depends on the setting really.

I always subconsciously pick the stealthiest and the most agile character.

Rifts 4TW! Palladium had some really epic games in the late 80s and early 90s - the mutant/TMNT stuff was great fun!
Name: Galtian Bluestar
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Mage/Warrior (always want magic, but want to kick butt as well)
Alignment: Neutral/Good (Good guy, but have the option to earn some easy money)
With more futuristic/normal world games, I always use my alias Jack "McGreed" McReed. Came up with the name when I once played Pirates Gold and watched Highlander.
Also, +1 for Rifts. I could never get into D&D campaigns back when I still played paper RPG's, but Rifts was always the exception (and the artwork was awesome).
Bad nurse! More gentle with the catheter!
If its single player. Mage - I like fighting away from the battle XD
so in the end I guess caster...though in WoW I played rogue.
-Bad ass dwarf
Oh, and my character talks like Alfred in the Dark Knight movies. :-)
Totally unoriginal, I know. But I like her. Started modeling and concepting a while back; haven't worked on her in a while, but wrote up more of her history recently, and fully intend to return to the personal character project in the future, ie "eventually."
As for games in general, I tend to play whatever strikes my fancy at the time. Archers are cool.
I always play as too many classes, and my role is player killer, PK. My favorite phrase from the dead: "Why!?". Evil Chaotic as in Baldur's Gate i think, killing all the poor flies on the screen.
I'm thinking we should create a thread for color, "what's your favorite color?", or food lol
dunno why :P
Hey, I just made this on paint using cut and paste on a Baldurs gate 2 char creation screenshot.
That's basically my official roleplaying character and my personality, stuff like that.
As you can see below with the stats its just random, nothing to do with BGII.
Personally, I always play as a thief/rogue character; stealing purses left and right while throwing snarky comments at everyone who's unlucky enough to stand in my way. Douchebag is my second name. Sadly, games nowadays don't give me the opportunity to do so; no matter what I do people keep throwing themselves at my feet.
If mechanics allow it I also act like a playboy. I seduce every elf/alien/princess/goddess/canine with self-esteem issues and then leave with their riches while they cry and beg for more.
What annoys me is that no matter how much I try to mind my own business I always end up pissing off some big bad, kicking his sorry cunt and saving the world. Why can't they make an RPG where all you do is get drunk, hump hoes and make everyone miserable all day long? It would sell like hotcakes I would buy ten copies myself.
Race: Half-Orc
Class: Rouge
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Name Lyntel Jhen
Race: Warforged
Class: Cleric
Alignment: True Neutral
Oh, and I'm the DM, too. The campaign I'm running at the moment is, shall we say, 'special.' One of the characters has a Special Muggin' Brick, another has a robe which gives an AC bonus when he's drunk, and a third constantly eats yogurt like he's the male lead from Burn Notice. Oh, and then there's the dwarf with his stone bong and 'magic incense.'
And yes, 'Lyntel Jhen' is a play on Little John.
I know, right?
I'm nerdy as hell and proud.
XD
You've got a good grasp on names. I like Thael Ong'Gosh, the Half-Orc.
I always like seeing Rp'ers/fantasy lovers with a good grasp of naming.
You're not gonna call an Dwarf " Selhin Mel'Finus", right?
More like "Orin BroodHammer".
*Geezus slowly puts on his Wizard Hat and performs +5 Erotic Glance towards BoBo_the_seal's immediate direction. MMmmm
I'm typically the large hulking brute who is either taking the damage or dishing out the most damage. For whatever reason, if the option is there, my toon will be a large black male.
My name's are usually derived from God's...either Norse or Egyptian.
My most common name is Septu. http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/egyptian-mythology.php?deity=SEPTU
All bets are off when Cataclysm comes out, though.
Dark Elf
Warhammer fantasy universe
Chaotic Neutral (dark elves are percieved as evil but really they're just self serving...)
I definitley agree.
Cool WAR toon, dude.

I like to play any kind of anti-hero. Someone out for their own gains, wields demonic / evil powers (primarily fire) but is ultimately doing so for the greater good. Hated, feared, and misunderstood by most, enemy to the public, savior of the world.
Lame excuse. :poly124:
I tried it, couldn't quite do it.
I did play a female character in Dragon Age tho. Maybe it's that Dragon Age had better face customization, but I guess the primary reason is that I don't really like the female voice actor in ME. (inb4hate) She sounds like a mean bitch, and since I play full paragon it just doesn't work.
Single Player RPGS: Warrior/Paladin types, dual-weilding the biggest weapon usable in one hand. Wizard/Mage style classes on later play throughs. Soldier in Mass Effect 1 and 2 with Adept in second play through. Jedi Guardian in the KotOR games. Always Lawful Good/Light Side/Paragon on first play throughs.
Pen and Paper: despite owning a lot of PnP roleplaying games I haven't been able to play in one for over ten years. only character I played for any length of time was an elven ranger in 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons.
lol
