Discuss them!
I have so many delicious character I want to play with, the only thing is picked the one that works best as a protagonist that can interact on an RPG. So I have it down to three, ironically the first three I cam up with.

Rough outline History that will be explained through flashback:
-Born with hemophilia and an abundance of Intelligence. Parents were terrified of letting him outdoors so he spent nearly all of his time on the internet or reading books, and the rest conducting minor experiments with household items.
-In his early teens he happened upon an ancient Chinese text on Qi(ki/chi). It becomes his new obsession, and he scores internet sources for all books and other sources of knowledge on it.
-On his seventeenth birthday he disconnects himself from his family permanently and adopts the name Erlang Shen, a figure in Chinese myth with third "Truth Seeing" eye on his forehead. He scours the earth for all knowledge pertaining to Ki and similar powers.
- By the time he is nineteen he is in the mountains of China studying under an order of Monks devoted to Erlang Shen and the spiritual eye. Our Shen is shocked to find the masters have a third eye as well. He studies with the masters but betrays them and reads thier forbidden texts. The sun rises with him now having the third eye. Not receiving the proper training he sees visions of thing not truly there, but that were once there or will be there at one time, along with periods of blindness and dizziness. He is so wracked with frustration at not being able to use the Third Eye properly that he carves his two normal eyes out, so they would not interfere.
- It works but his hemophilia will not let them stop bleeding so he covers them with a bandage. He learns of a meditation that will restore lost blood and uses it. His master claim it is not the hemophilia, but the punishment of the gods. Bansihed from thier monastery he continues his search for knowledge.

Name: ?
Age: 28
Weight: 190 lbs
Race: human
Appearance: An average green-eyed brown haired man
Suffers from a mild form of OCD. The compulsions are a constant annoyance that can only be forgotten when he is fighting, so he does just that.
Short but sweet.

Name: Pinocchio
Age: 11
Weight: 730 lbs
Race: Android
Appearance: terminator-esqe skeletal robot.
Pino is an abandoned robot with an unfinished body and mind that feels next to no emotions, and what he does his extremely glitchy. He would become inexplicably obsessed with the living. Long story short, after each PC or major NPC I kill I would carefully cut off a bit of flesh and add it to his skeletal frame. Now, he wouldn't be evil, not even neutral, because labels imply choice. His mind is not finished, so he will steal bits of personality the same as his body.
Obviously I'm leaning towards Shen.

When in doubt: It was sarcasm.
