[@Darkraven] Well.  I'll start by saying that you should pick the char you think you'd be most interested in playing in this setting.  I mean, some idea may sound great to me, but you may be forcing yourself into a role that you end up regretting.  I DO always say, try to make a character with some trait that can make things interesting later.  Interesting can mean makes him mesh well with people, or struggle to be accepted, something like that.  If you put a gun to my head though, I'd vote for the last one.  Just seems unique and interesting, and his history could lead to a lot of backstory and conflicts in the present, conflicts with himself included.  

[@Halcyon] Don't talk about it, be about it.
