I like it if my character evolves with the game. at the beginning with shitty armor no real character and class and in the and a awesome killer with personality. If you have to say from the beginnig my character is this and that etc. and i dont know how NPC might like it. It feels kind of weird to be so determined.

I like it very much to evolve a personality for a character in the game not before i even start to play it. Maybe you can go with backgound = chaotic/evil/good/nice in the beginning. These words give still a lot of room.

I like the character creation of just some stats and looks. The rest should be evolve while playing.
