well, that's entirely depends on the game you go. There are many different larp systems out there with different character creation processes, and different seetings they take place in.
For example there are games where your character don't have any rules-wise skills, so if you want to do something you actually have to do it.
Then there are games where you can choose skills like lockpicking or alchemy maybe magic, etc
And there are games which will limit the weapons you can use depending on what kind of character you make.

The setting changes from game to game too, some will allow any and all fantasy stuff you can imagine, others may allow only specific stuff, for example if the game's story takes place in a village and players must be peasants, merchants and other city folk there.

So in short, every game works differently in one way or another.
