Do you play as male or female?

If it's something like The Elder Scrolls or Dark Souls, I pick a man. I usually model him after myself.

But when faced with a selection of pre-made characters, I'll go with the one that suits my play style. For example, in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II, I played as Alessia Faithfammer, a female cleric.
