In every RPG ever, I play a human or half-elf male, with long-ish brown hair who is either a fighter or thief (or multiclass/hybrid if it's an option in the system). A neutral good light- or medium-armoured swordsman who is a swashbuckling jack-of-all-trades, but terrific in a fight.

It's a problem I have where I only ever play an idealized version of myself in games. I can't roleplay as a high-elven princess who wields mighty magic while the blood of dragons courses through her veins, or a bloodthirsty half-orc barbarian whose loyalties only lie with whoever pays the most.

I don't roleplay as a fantastic fantasy character, I roleplay as Steve from Canada, just transposed into a fantasy system

Super valid take. There's no right way of playing a game
