Anyway, welcome to the forums! There's really no limit here on the sort of character you can play, as long as they fit into the universe. Bumbling academic researchers, rebellious citizens, overworked police officers and military hardcases are all perfectly common around here, and there's plenty else besides. Really, it's a matter of whomever you want to play.
There is a lot of leeway in how you imagine and play out your character, but one thing you will definitely need to learn is how to bounce back from disappointment.
There are lots of situations in which you can explode in this game, but you just dust yourself off and try again.
I guess attitude is the main thing. With the right one, you'll do just fine.
