I think Ive jumped across a few of these choices WHEN I ACTUALLY GET TO PLAY INSTEAD OF GM!!! LOL
I like playing different roles and personality types from character to character, otherwise the PCs tend to seem like cardboard cutouts walking around a map board; might as well play Squad Leader. It also helps my GM skills since a GM needs to play all kinds of NPCs with some of them being somewhat convincing.
Not too long ago I got to play my first TRULY evil character for a Shadowrun game. Not a crazy guy- I mean someone who's made a conscious choice to do things that society has decided is wrong. Fun character to play. Another fun character was a D&D fighter who was determined to not kill if he could avoid it. THAT was interesting...not a pacifist, just against taking life. Try turning a siege into a huge friggin barfight.
