Heh, it wasn't really an option for a Githyanki, but I usually prefer "boring" organically grown characters with everyday problems over born heroes and villains. One of the fantasy tales that influenced me most starts with a Hobbit whipping up supper and minding his own business. BG3 holds a lot of trauma in store for characters, so comfy origins are a great contrast.
Also, we need Dammon, Helsik and the Gondians to fix Karlach's heart, leave the Absolute to Omeluum and then party even harder at Reunion Camp.
