I also think that a good way to add diversity is on playing with strengths and weaknesses. I tend to stack weaknesses as opposed to strengths. Like, yes, my man can fight amazingly well but he's shithouse in a social situation.

Want to tag on here is something that is really important. I feel that Sanderson's Second Law (that limitations are what make a magic system interesting, not capabilities) applies to characters too. Since you're writing, your character can do anything htat you write them to. That's cool, but not super interesting and it definitely doesn't create conflict. What's the most interesting is what they CAN'T do, and how they work around that INcapability to achieve their goals. THAT's the essence of story.
