Male human noble Hero, must be white to match the Couslands, though he has a tan.
Female rogue default Champion, since she isn't really a "custom character" in the true sense.
Male human mage Inquisitor, brown skin. Looks sort of Indian/Egyptian.
That's my diverse crew so far.
My third world state will have a different race for the Inquisitor. My second one might, actually.
I diversify as well. I like thinking that the heroes aren't all the same type.
My 'canon':
Warden - male dwarf (Aeducan) sword and shield warrior (romanced Zevran)
Hawke - male human mage (romanced Anders)
Inquisitor - male qunari two-handed warrior (romanced Dorian)
My 'first alternate' playthroughs:
Warden - female dwarf (Brosca) ranged rogue (romanced Leliana)
Hawke - male human sword and shield warrior (romanced Fenris)
Inquisitor - male dwarf dual wield rogue (romanced Iron Bull)
My 'second alternate' playthroughs:
Warden - female dwarf (Aeducan) sword and shield warrior (romanced Alistair)
Hawke - female human dual wield rogue (romanced Isabela) * I never actually finished this one, but I adjusted the keep to import for DA: I
Inquisitor - female dwarf ranged rogue (romanced Blackwall)
I have a few things that remain consistent with my 'canon' playthroughs: they are all gay males who are 'good' types. But after that, I mix things up a lot. I clearly favor dwarves (5 of my 9 imported characters are dwarves) and I clearly dislike elves (0 of my 9 imported characters are elves), but I try to play around a bit. It makes the world feel more interesting than just "human fe/male mage or warrior is the hero again....."
Irrelevant. I am one of these people who don't care much about my characters race.... colour of hair, as long as it's "good" character. Hawke was fine, if they made dwarf only, my least favourite race, still fine.
Oh I do this too. I try to mix it up so I have different races and genders in my three heroes. It's a bit difficult to always keep it mixed completely since Hawke is always human.
I have one of each of the 7 Wardens though (7 last names, 7 wardens) and so I made 7 Inquisitors and tried to mix it up. I have 2 main "canon" playthourghs, and these two world states are the one I play in the game. I even try to keep the classes mixed. I do think I ended up with one world state where all my PCs were Male though.
My reason for it is precedent and implication. That is, precedent and implications that I'm making by my world state. I don't like the idea that only men or only women or only mages or only rogues or only warriors or only dwarves or only humans or only elves can be badass can be heroes, that you can be awesome and save the day no matter your background. By setting a world state to be biased towards a particular race or sex or class, I'm in effect creating the implication and precedent that only people like that are actually worthy. So in the world state I'm waffling about because I don't like the implication I'm about to set, I'm going to make it seem like only male dwarves are capable of greatness, leaving humans and elves and women looking rather pathetic in comparison. That is why I try to diversify, I don't want it seeming like only a specific type of person can be the big and awesome hero everyone looks up to. There will be a female mage Hawke in the middle of them, but... She's Hawke. She utterly failed to save anything. That makes it even worse, the one time a non-male non-dwarf character tried to be a hero they completely and totally screwed it up.
I probably should have put this in the first post, because this is the main reason I care. And it's not that it's both males, I don't want too much of either sex. Trust me, if it was 2 female elves plus a male Hawke, I'd hate that too because it would seem like only female elves can be awesome and the one time a male human tried to be a hero they failed. I'll admit, I've thought about at least making the DAO dwarf female instead to at least make it so the only implication is about dwarves... But I wanted them to romance Morrigan and be Kieran's father...

I think you just overthinking stuff just play what character you like most and enjoy the game
