Yeah anymore I would do the mysterious quiet type too, cause in my group that thinks role playing is arguing about the rules, just cause it's easier. I've tried playing a character with an actual personality, everything from blindly heroic to chaotically evil and reckless just to cause mayhem. I always get plenty of "WTF" cause I attempted to role-play for a change. Then again cause I never cared much for the stats and didn't really care if I played a wizard who could out melee the other melee classes, and take better hits then the tanks. (True story.)
