My characters are inspired in one way or another by books, or historical characters, or something like that. I usually add a twist so that it's not so recognizable too.

Joan of Arc would be interesting to play as a paladin, a little whacked out?

Other than that, can't really suggest what to do now, since it would then be obvious who you were and what you tried to accomplish if I met you in the game... right?

Keep at it
