I tend to enjoy role-playing mages and also gravitate toward healers in PvE. That being said, my main is a conjurer IC. However, my bard was nothing more than a girl who occasionally shot arrows (and like to sing, to herself, when no one else was potentially in hearing range), at least until I leveled SCH/SMN on her and decided to make her magic user IC since it suited the character well.
Aside from that, though they are alts I don't play much, my lancer is just a dude with a lance, my marauder cannot and will not ever be able to use aether or anything IC, and my pugilist is just a scrapper and I plan to unlock rogue on her as well (so she can be a scrapper who both stabs and punches things). My gladiator is the only character I've considered mixing magic and melee on, but I haven't leveled her much and I have yet to RP her or even give her a proper back story.
Sooo while I lean toward mages both OOC and IC... when I do play physical fighters, I tend to leave them... uhhh... physical. And on the topic of normal people, though I've yet to have the chance to RP her, my lalafell is a normal mundane civilian with no use of aether and no weapons.
