Perhaps the whole randomly generated issue should be dealt with as well? Perhaps you don't choose your name, only gender, skills, attributes, and the peasant/hero/demigod.

Once you click play, you'd gain control of a historical character generated with the world or born later. Your selected skills and attributes could get explained away as training you're character did in anticipation of becoming an adventurer, with choosing between peasant, hero, and demigod the deciding factor of your starting social rank (peasant, former/current soldier, and noble respectively). You could see evidence of your previous life apparent in skills that you may have little use for (farmer, thresher) that would rust over time, family of your own that you can talk to, and previous friends and enemies.

Such a feature would add a level of realism, though it'd be similar to a lottery game. Select Demigod, choose your skills and attributes, then you take control of the local clown lording over a Human settlement.

Or perhaps you should be able to make your own character from scratch or choose to play as a historical character. That's the best of both worlds.
