Lol. Thanks for you reply Foster ;).

By 'exotic' I mean characters who come from fay away lands and may have an accent or a particular way to talk -so that my writing style and mistakes go along with the character and do not get people out of the story- and even if they stand out a bit, lets say, they stand out for a reason: they are travelers from a lost region somewhere and do not master the language perfectly, etc. which may be better creating a more "common" character who actually stands out because the way (s)he speaks doesn't read that natural (?).

On the other hand, I like your suggestion of keeping it simple (: plus it means much less work for me at first, avoiding trying to come up with a complicated story for a character that in some scenarios may not fit (superhero with an exotic background in a superheros rpg and so on). 

By the way, what would you consider to be a newbie-character? I mean, generally speaking. I guess the answer is not so simple because it would depend on the universe you are in but some general guidelines would be useful if you can think of any. I do not want to abuse your kindness anyway. Thanks again for your tip, Foster! ;)
