My favorite heroes are those that never meant to be anything special -- the "ordinary guy" type, who just happens to be in a situation that demonstrates his above-average strength or values.
I agree... the venerable WARHAMMER FANTASY RPG had a really cool career system. You selected a group [warrior, ranger, academic & rogue] and then you rolled for exact career. A character in the ranger group could end up as a Fisherman, poucher etc.
It was then up to the player to change career (using experience points) towards what he wanted and depending on the situation. For example a fisherman could change into outlaw, pirate, merchant etc.
