Ugly, repulsive, nasty characters are always more fun, for me at any rate. Some of my all time favorites have been grossly overweight, disfigured, old and decrepit, smelly you name it. That being said, I can see why some people would prefer to play a more appealing character.
But really, appearances don't matter that much in text-based games. If your character has a warm personality he'll get along just fine, despite his horrific facial deformity.
Which is why I enjoy making ugly characters that are narcissistic, conniving, foul-mouthed klepto's.
Most players want their characters to be liked. They want them to foster positive relationships. I, on the other hand, don't give a hoot. Feel free to hate and revile my characters all you want. It makes for some of the most entertaining roleplay.
