it sounds terrible, but i do the same, op. i just find the quality of fic for john/jane shepard or garrett hawke is so much better than people's generic oc hawkes or shepards. i don't know what it is about the default, but weirdly authors who write them seem to be more interested in fleshing them out/exploring them more than people writing their ocs, at least in my opinion.

warden fic is different, i've experienced though. lots of good original wardens, but then there really is no "default" warden in origins iirc.

I think it's because the Warden is a silent main character - Hawke and Shephard have voice actors. At least that's what makes the difference for me.

I mean, I have read some custom male Hawkes that were quite interesting, but only the rogue ones (funnily). Might be because the default trailer!Hawke is either mage or warrior, not a rogue. *shrug*

the warden had more than the standard "good/bad/neutral" 3 options shepard and hawke are stuck with as well, especially if you play an elf/mage/female (or all 3!) warden.

so while not perfect, my wardens always felt like more of a real character than any hawke i made that tried to deviate from the default given. which is why i'm content with playing as garrett hawke or john shepard i guess.

bioware gave options, but it's kind of obvious (especially by mass effect 3 for shepard) which character they wrote the scripts for.
