I never enjoy seeing Mary Sues. I admitted that when I first started, my character was very Mary Sue-ish. Some guy from some family with awesome repute, having awesome family heirlooms and bloodline abilities and all that. Eventually, I stopped being Mary Sue after reading alot of fiction stories, read more newspapers and realizing just how boring it is to be an all powerful guy.

So, instead, when I started RPing in WoW, I made a background character instead. I made an undead rogue who is one of the many contract killers out there trying to make it big, and did manage to successfully acquire some really big contracts from the Horde military and has to, time and again, go into the bloodiest of battlefields to do their dirty work.

Pretty mundane and run-in-the-mill, but I still had fun. Mainly from interacting people and developing a reputation for being the guy who gets the job done.
