CRAZY characters

Fast Eddie was a CN female Gnome thief who allowed herself to be thrown across an underground chasm by the party's CN Barbarian. She got snagged at the apex of her arc by a cave fisher.
So I sung...
"It was a caaaaaaaaaave fisher! One way ticket, yeah!
It took a fluuuung gnome to find out.
And she found out."

Crazier still was a GURPS: Vampire PC I ran based loosely on The Tick. He was a private detective who had "been embraced" by a powerful Brujah of unknown identity...but the process drove him as insane as a Malkavian.
Awakening with his new abilities- superhuman speed and strength most obviously- his fractured mind rationalized that he had somehow become a superhero. Coupled with his nature as a law & order kind of guy and his cravings for blood, he took to the streets of Austin as Major Mosquito, only drinking the blood of evildoers with his surgical steel crime straw.*
*FWIW, though his code is similar to Dexter's "Code of Harry," Major Mosquito predates him by a decade.

(Yes, I know these are NOT Pathfinder PCs, and this is the Pathfinder forum...but you never know who might get inspired...or by what.)

Created a Forgotten Realms character that had 2 personalities... one was a CG cleric of Tymora, the other constantly wore a black wig and was a CG cleric of Beshaba...
It was interesting to say the least. Completely random which personality was going to wake up in the morning...
Also ran a 2e campaign with a player running the most insane wild mage ever. Ended up destroying himself with a wild surged fireball even though his tactic of running into the middle of the enemy, quaffing a potion of fire resistance and centering a fireball on himself was rather effective.

Years ago, (ODnD) one of our regulars rolled up an array of stats that left him with a half-orc with good stats except Int was 3.
He played Iggy just as he should. Did'nt start a fight untill someone hurt him first, got caught up in combat and would sometimes swing at his own party.
The funniest thing that happened was he got separated, via pit trap and ended up by his dumb self in the treasury. Reunited with party with a large purple lump of glass. Too dumb to understand gold, wealth and directionally challenged, we never found the treasury.
He eventually ended up a captain of a pirate ship full of goblin crewmen. (In a 'Dread pirate Roberts' kind of way)
Fast forward to 3.5.
I decided that Iggy should have a son. Unfortunatly for Iggy the backstory was a female troll cheiftain that had heard of his oceanic exploits and decided that he was worthy of sireing her children. (I think the quote was "ima gettin some of dat")
The homebrew resuld was a Troll/half orc hybrid with minimal regenerative abilities that thought of his own base needs. (Food and Breeding more or less)
Iggu made a short spear out of his own leg bone, because he thought it would have 'da magics'.
Unfortunatly for the other party members, when he used it and brought down anything made of meat his roll in the combat was over and he would start eating.
Inspired our DM to award Iggu with a homebrew feat of "Smite Dinner"
I wish I had known about the story hour then because there were many games that all of us ended up in tears, laughing.

I also played a multiple personality character - one personality was a CG Ranger, the other a NE Assassin (this was AD&D). Rolled each morning to see which personality was dominant, and also rolled every round during 'stressful situations' to see if he switched. Good times!
