Could you define "The Unoffical RP server"? I'm not quite sure I understand the concept, sorry!
My girls are almost exclusively based on a personal character trait. It sounds odd, but essentially what I've done with them is select a personality trait or quirk about myself and then elevated it so that it is their core trait. However, having selected that trait for each of them, I then flesh out their personalities so that they're well-rounded and generally have an explaination for their behavior.
For example, my flightly sweet human priestess is "the desire to be needed": she's enthusiastic, willing to help, interested in learning, but feels that insecurity that comes from being young and not as experienced as the people around you. She's all of seventeen, the middle child of seven, and joined the priesthood because, as her pappy says, "all o' them priest fellahs, they's always needed."
On the other hand, my cantankerous snappy frequent cursing kal'dorei priestess could best be considered, well, "bitch": she's prone to making deprecating remarks (both others and herself), goes out of her way to cause arguments, is pretty bitter, curses, and tends to administer heals quite forcefully. However, as a 12,000 year old former sister of Elune who lost most of her brethren and family in the War of the Ancients, I think she has some cause for being a bit bitter.
And my fledgling Tauren druid? She could only be "youth": the young druid - only child of shaman parents and expected to follow in their hooves - is on a personal quest of self-discovery with all of the expectations, enthusiasm, and idealism of youth. Everything is new and amazing to her, though she can get quite sullen if things don't go her way. She also moves with the awkwardness of a teenager trying to get accustomed to the changes to her body - a trait that makes her name, Lujza Spiritdancer, seem just that much more inappropriate!
The fun thing about this is that depending on my mood I can play each of them more than just passably well. Both my perky priestess and kal'dorei hunter are easy to roleplay, but if I feel irked and generally bitchy the cantankerous battlepriest is a wonderful default character to fall back to!
