I hope you realize how much a nerd you need to be to ask that question.
Understand I'm not judging you, as apparently you've made very... interesting... life choices, and as long as your aware of it, it's okay. But if you're not aware, and you've simply fallen into that life, I just wanted to point it out.

Can you be evil at all? I find myself drawn into a more amoral persuasion of character, where solutions are not drawn out for me in black and white. For instance, if I was in a virtual party of adventurers and had a chance to kill them all in their sleep and take all the geld, moola, hoinker-dinks. I find such a stance compelling in the plentitude if not the diversity of its rewards. Whereas with the white bread/dime a dozen Jesus worshiping people of the western world a litany of good deeds and platitudes awaits you instead of generic tools that are not given to you with the proclaimation that you commit no harm to another when we no good and well that is not how the real world behaves at its most base levels physically or philosophically.

any player can just be a high-elf, or a half-elf, or a wizard, or an ent, or something else that's supposed to be rare as diamonds
Umm, first - diamonds aren't that rare. Most other gemstones (emeralds come to mind) are much rarer. The high cost of diamonds has to do more with the monopoly that controls distribution.
Second, if you're gonna bitch about rareness, why not bitch about the fact that 'anybody' can be an adventurer? Why are there more players who are adventurers than bakers/millwrighs/peasants/coopers/smiths/whatever ? Adventurers themselves are supposed to be really rare, and every player is gonna be one - what's up with that?!?!?
