Come now people, I have seen but a few creative characters in this game. Admittedly, many were not mine, but that gives me the modesty to honestly say, there should be more creativity within characters. You have mostly crafters, miners, heroes, non-heroes, slightly bad guys, and super villains. We need more than this, we need the common folk as well yes, but we need the freak shows, the weird people, the ones that turn heads, the one that arouse snickers. We need people with long pointy noses, hunchbacks, someone with two left feet! Someone with a severe speech impediment, someone slightly mentally disabled, someone SEVERELY mentally disabled, someone OCD, someone afraid of EVERYTHING but obviously the basic stuff needed for survival.
I'm certain you people can come up with good ones, I can, and I am certainly no more creative than a majority of the people in this community. Let's see some ideas.
EDIT: Oh, and off-topic, this is my 1000th post \o/

/me tries Sir Farren. I's dos. Yous still needs to help mes finds my moms though.
[I think creativity is not always easy to come by. A great deal of effort goes into staying in character especially if your character has a unique personally. I wish people like Frak, Einnol and Indygo were still here to show us how to stay in character. They taught me a lot. A good guild helps. My thanks to Eliseth.
Though I must agree having characters that are unique makes the game more interesting.]

Lead by example.

Being a superhero doesn't exactly lead others in the right style, does it? :P
I always try to have unique characters. A shamanistic Enkidukai (my forum name), a rich merchant who claimed to have deep faith in Laanx who was actually a Black Flame follower, and a Kran who believes in the light and nature of Yliakum, Talad and Xiosia, and tries to influence others with goodness and hope that they'll do the same.

Shaman: You only know maybe 3-4 of my characters :) You've met maybe ten :P And most certainly not my newest :)

My characters are creative... They all scored 0 - 10 on all of the Mary Sue tests on the internetz... (Yeah, I hate Mary Sues.)

Creativity is seen differently by everyone so very opinionated. What one may think is mary sue another may think totally original. What you may think is dull I might think is a stroke of genius.
You can't really ask for greater creativity, only for more of a specific type of character you don't see anymore or a role(s) you'd like to see more people trying out.

Have that, but I don't play her nearly often enough. XD
