Appearance: Generic for male (did the default first, and the voice would sound wrong now coming out of another face); custom for female. About half my FemSheps currently have faces based on the asian-looking preset in ME2, because I thought it looked the best of the preset faces and after I've been playing with the face generator for a while most of them seem equally ugly, but I also have a black FemShep who turned out very well from when I was trying to do one who looked like the actress Gina Torres from Firefly.

Morality: Most of my playthroughs are Paragon, but I have a couple of Renegade characters. The nearly-full-Renegade character isn't getting imported into ME3, because I don't want to play in that world any more, but another character is about 75% Renegade, 25% Paragon, and managed to be a no-nonsense hardass without committing any serious atrocities. That one is my favorite in ME3, because a Renegade attitude makes the game easier to take, but certain Paragon decisions in previous games (particularly saving Maelon's data) make for a brighter story.

Game mode: RPG, of course. It's what I've come to expect from the previous games, and in general I wouldn't be interested in having part of a game's functionality disabled, as would be the case in Action or Story mode.
