Your character can be whatever they want! We have fanatical goodies, fanatical baddies, we have in-betweeners, drunks, and people who act more like a comic relief than anything else. So just pick whatever suites your fancy and jump on in xD
However, if you want to create a Force User, you'll have to start out at the bottom of the ladder in terms of abilities and power, mostly because otherwise we'd have a heck of a lot of OP, godlike individuals throwing Rancors at each other on their first day...
...which probably wouldn't be very fun. For us. Lol.
Also! If you're unsure on what species you want to be, and you aren't liking any of the already-canon species that Wookieepedia has, I'd suggest looking
here. It's a list of all species created by fellow writers on the board, and many of them look (and really are) fun to play as!
