I think its purely how the player approaches the game and what inspiration is being used to draw the character.Recently there have been a flood of the "Jason Bourne"s unemotional killing machine archtypes in popular movies. It stands to reason that many people model thier characters along these lines. I never claim to have strong, emotional characters.. but I always try to create a character that is tied to the setting and has a history. Many of these characters ended up with unfortunate endings  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Examples: RoleMaster, playing a Rogue in a group that learned that they were the only chance to stop the world from being destroyed... all they had to do is march two days south and defeat a powerful which.   So I chose to head north for half a day and spend the remaining day and a-half of existance in blissful drunken debauchery!  For some reason the party Paladin took offense to that...  Star Wars, playing a failed Jedi who seemed to always have a portable bar around. After three sessions where none of the party members noticed his adept use of telepathy and the Jedi mind trick  {which saved the party much pain and potential dismemberment}... he was too good at hiding his powers and got left behind as a 'useless old drunk'.Characters are lots of fun!..of course, cold blooded killing machines are fun too  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
