When you create a character...

Any time I TRY to make a character that looks like me I inevitably get something that looks disconcertingly close to Micky Ward, a retired American boxer. Given that I look nothing like Mikey ward, I can only assume this is a sign that I subconciously wish I did.
SR2 is the only game where I made a ridiculous character. As in a morbidly obese black man with a cockney accent that liked to go on a crime spree wearing ladies clothes... good times.
But in Mass Effect, Oblivion, and more recently in DA:O I make my chars look as suave as I can. In Mass Effect I made a char that actually looked startingly like me, and in DO:A I somehow made a human that looks like Adrian Brody.
I have also made an army of really, really hot chicks with games like this though. One of every shape size and color. SR2 is the best for that, especially with the clothing options... who knew that playing Barbie woulf be so fun?

I normally start with trying to design a character that vaguely looks like me if possible.
After finishing with them, I might try a different gendered character for the gameplay differences that come with that.
Later on, I'll get into making joke characters. On Fallout 3, for example, I made a character who had a heavy emphasis on the Unarmed skill. His name? Mike Tyson. And yes, I made him look just like him. By then, I knew what I was doing with the character creation kit, even though the light on the face when you're making your character at game start is atrocious.

Normally I take a preset and tweak it a bit, sometimes attempting to make it look a bit like me.
Then there are times when I want to make a goofy lookin dude and end up with something like:

I tend to go with a preset (so it is proportion) and then change hair,color tone etc.
and my names are usually all Zedd Zeddica Zeddix etc because I am so damn original.

Hmmm, in the limited games where you actually have the option of making a character your own, I like to let it start out pretty blank and roll with the story. I find it quite shocking that I got more of a Role Play factor out of Saints Row 2 than I have done with any JRPG
I normally try to make a guy that looks like me. Closest I ever got was fallout three and some wrestling games.
Lesse, other than myself, I generally screw around with the settings until I like the look.(Like my good guy in Mass Effect, a buzz cut asian dude with a big scar, a disgruntled look and Lemmy Kilmeisters facial hair)
I always try to make the female characters attractive, except for that one time in oblivion where I wanted her to look like a coke whore.

I usually try to make my character stand out, usually with an odd hair color and crazy clothing
I try to make mine look like Pale, crazed, insomniac ridden murderers.
Weirdest I made was apparently my Mass Efect character, my brother said he looked like he had a large square head, perfectly square.
