2) Some sort of tank, generally, though I'm quite enjoying playing a skillmonkey right now in Dai's game. Basically, anything but arcane. RPwise, I'll do whatever comes to mind as I build the character. In terms of affecting the world, well, let's put it this way: basically, whatever works for the DM in terms of integrating my character.
3) Grappling. Oh wait, that's neglected for a very good reason. I like unarmed combat as well, but that's not really doable in 4e yet. Other than that...not really, I guess.
4) Can we steer clear of national militaries this time around? It seems like every game I play, the party (or at least my character!) ends up getting drafted...Also, deep political intrigues bore me. +1 on railroading, unless it's done subtly. If we can tell it was done at all, it wasn't done well at all.
Judson, this almost undoubtedly isn't going to be crazy strategic/hard combat, I'm just gonna point that out. If I had to guess, I'd say this would be 70/30 RP/combat, just based on Brooke's style as a player.

2. I can play any role in the party. I like to have my character and the party affect the game world in visible ways, and I would love to have my character's background actually interact with the story.
3. Not sure, since 4E is so new, although Drew's idea of monstrous PCs sounds promising.
4. Railroading, and combats that are either too easy or too static and boring.

2:I'm very based on what current build i find interesting. Right now, I WILL be playing a 2 weapon fighting ranger, come hell or high water. Some unique skills, and a certain amount of attitude, coupled with bad-ass dual wielding moves. If you wanna make me integral to the plot, just let me know and I'll work it into the backstory. I don't mind playing leader, though I doubt that it will work well with my class selection (charisma is usually a dump stat.)
3: I haven't seen any mechanics so far. All the skills seem to be neatly wrapped up. I forget if Rangers still get tracking, but if they do, I miss how it's always a main plot quest, and everyone's able to easily follow the trail. Being a man of the Beastiary, I'm normally inclined to play strange races. Oddly enough, when reading through the PHB, I fell in love with Eladrin, and will probably be playing one of those.
4: Nothing hated so far. I'll let you know if that changes.

2) I tend to play whatever character I feel like, unlike other players I don't have a niche that I have worked myself into. There are occasions where I just play whatever the party needs. My preferred roles in the party are either blasting or tanking, I will play a healplx but I don't do it often as I tend to get sick of doing nothing but healing. I don't mind having an important role to play in terms of game world or plot, provided I didn't do something stupid like make a character that I couldn't RP.
3) The game mechanic that I feel is most neglected sadly is not in 4e yet (psionics). I do agree with Wes that stealth and other skills like are are neglected as well (like Forgery and Sleight of Hand in 3.X). As for races, I feel that races that are not in PHB are neglected, specifically races that are usually evil NPCs (Bugbears, Gnoll, Drow, Kobolds, just to name a few). And of course I feel that Doppelgangers are neglected and often ignored despite the fun that could be had.
4) Campaigns that never level. Or campaigns that have lots of XP loss (don't think we have to worry about that with 4e). And I'm getting pretty tired of fighting undead and orcs too.

2. I tend to like caster and stealth classes and enjoy a control/burst type of gameplay. Social interaction is also fun :O. I do like shaping events!
3. STEALTH/SKILL USE. Omg, never get to use my skills
Sometimes I just wanna steal some shit or something.4. I'll let you know if I think of any.
I'll PM you my current character design and backstory.

2. My speciality with regards to characters is in the "Holy Knight sub-archetype" (paladins and clerics of deities of good and order, usually with a few fighter levels thrown in for martial flavor). I don't mind playing clerics or wizards (and sorcerers, if we're doing this in 3.5), and expert characters are pretty fun too, but, OH GODS, how I despise pure martial characters (not counting martial initiators (TOB)
). So, I guess I'm willing to play pretty much any role within the typical adventuring party.In terms of the over-arching plot, I would certainly hope that the adventures of the party would have some impact on the world, some effects obvious, most not. Rest assured, however, that my character will have some long-term motivation pushing him along, and if the DM is willing to work with me on that, all the better.
3. Kobolds for their draconic flavor, and Hobgoblins for their martial badassness potential.
4. Campaigns that start low, and take a long, long time to get anywhere. I don't mind starting at a low character level, but I can't stand DMs that have a predetermined set of "gold levels" and try to keep the PCs there for as long as possible. I like to level up, and level often.

1) What types of campaigns do you enjoy playing in? More combat-based or RP-based? Epic, with the danger of becoming cliche, or normal adventuring, with the danger of getting boring?
2) What type of character do you tend to play/enjoy playing? What kind of role do you like to play in a party? Do you have any desire to have an important role to play in terms of the game world as a whole, or in the plot?
3) Are there any game mechanics or creatures/races that you enjoy that you feel are often neglected?
4) What kinds of encounters/campaigns do you hate with the fire of a thousand suns?
Any additional comments would be nice, I'm just trying to get an idea of what you guys like so that I don't bore the shit out of you. If you have ideas that you would like for an individual character/backstory that you do not want posted publicly, PM me.
