RPG characters from modern-esque settings. Real world-ish, even if it has vampires and magic and elves and aliens and whatever. Most of this stuff is d20 Modern and its settings, and White Wolf games and the World of Darkness setting. I would say to expect half of them to be wangsty and half of them to be over the top action heroes, but really, even in freakin' Vampire: the Masquerade I play square-jawed badasses who don't look at explosions.
