I've always loved the Ultima 6 method of character creation where you didn't get to pick every single detail of your character. It's much more like "being born" since none of us actually get to choose which height we'd like to be or what our hair looks like or what color eyes are. I'm very intrigued by the idea of having to deal with the consequences of birth. I'm all for very little choice in picking a background, but I think that I might possibly be in the minority here.
It seems that it would be quite difficult to decide each person's place in the living world and then just plug them in without an extensive background. Would that mean that players are adjusting to the blacksmith suddenly deciding he wanted to be a warrior one day? Would this happen with each new character on the MU*? It seems that it could be very disruptive for each player to learn a new character's background and how they fit into the world prior to an actual player taking control.
