I end up playing the same character who is more or less and extension of me in the game world. I have gone the whole play certain personalities and character types as well. I find now my characters vary only in motivation of why the act  a ceratin way. I think what helps is to set it up as a challenge to yourslef. One of my past characters was for a pick up game at the Local FGS and I generated him using the character gen from 3.0PHB which was all that was out when the game started. I started being like I always was when I realized the Char Gen had stuck me with an 8 Char. I realized hey this guy is an A-Hole. SO my challenge then was to always remember this. He took it upon myself to make sure I never said the right think at the right time. The best I ever did was when one character's family was slaughtered that I walked away from everyone else becuase my smart but socially challenged character knew he would say the wrong thing and respected the other character too much to cause grief. It was a serious challenge to stay this pain in the but dour guy. What I am saying is it boils down to focusing on one aspect and challenging yourslef to grow from there.Later</blockquote>
