I usually play good characters. Chaotic good most of the time - I only have one lawful good character, and even he has troubles staying lawful.
As for race, my default is human. Characters that aren't humans have a very specific reason not to be (my dryad, for instance). It's probaby because I find it difficult to roleplay non-humans as truly "something else" instead of humans with other tags attached. I hope to improve in that area.
I am pretty open when it comes to class, but I tend to play high intelligence charisma characters. Instead, I usually have low strenght (my paladin only has +1...)
