I've read before that this varies around the world with culture. In some places (US, UK) typical players presented with a create a character screen default to trying to make themselves. In other places (Japan) this isn't such a thing. In reality there's no real reason that when creating a character it should look like you. I assume everyone watches and enjoys movies where the main character doesn't look like them. Why should it be different for video games?
