Sellus Moore: human merchant with levels of fighter/rogue. So much fun that I'm making a 3.5 changeling version of him for our gestalt Eberron game. Woo!

The late dwarf bard in our group had his beard stolen by a gobbo he ticked off. That was fun

Eranilor Nailo, my elven archer (Rgr/Rog). He was a retired teacher turned bounty hunter turned adventurer. Incredibly optimistic and cynical, he got involved in a quest to save the world (RttToEE) and went through the entire thing thinkign that people were just over-reacting and it really wasn't as bad as they thought. He was the only one in his party with absolutely no magical ability, but he was hell on wheels with a bow. Got through the entire campaign without dying. He's the only PC I've ever played in a face-to-face game where I effectively played myself, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I would probably have done so even more if it was a roleplaying-heavy campaign instead of a dungeon-crawl one.

My favorite? Hmmm....
I guess it would be my first 3E character. Ereves Rook, human fighter/sorcerer, made the day the books came out. Id been planning him out for months before 3E was released, using things gleened from Erics site, and his personality developed pretty well from the very first session. He started out as a rough amalgamation of Rand al'Thor and Trunks Briefs, but got a lot more complex. He had been a scribe from a conquered city, and was setting out to fight against his homelands oppressors.
I still remember the first game, after the very first fight we had in 3E, Rook had (as the only fighter in the group) just killed 3 men, then been disarmed, and finally beaten down the last man bare handed. At the end of the fight, after the last opponent fell unconscious, the DM looked at everyone and said:
"They say he learned to fight from a book."
I just thought it was cool as hell

My favorite character was a female Human Gestalted Cleric Ranger who had helped out some Dwarves in protecting their homeland and for some unexplicable reason found Moradin to be an interesting Deity. My character started out as Chaotic, but as I adventured, I began to take Moradin's tenets to heart, I took the Stoneblessed PrC in Races of Stone, and my alignment shifted towards Lawful. I ended up taking the Hammer of Moradin and ended up being more devout to Moradin than most Dwarves were. My group had fun whenever I encountered a Dwarf because they would be surprised, then confused, then amazed.
My second favorite was a 'male' firenewt Cleric. Really, there was nothing particularly special about him except for the discussion it brought up on how exactly they reproduced because I was constantly hitting on the females I encountered with a high Charisma [that my Int and Cha were 4 didn't help my cause]. We had a Paladin in the group with a high Charisma and my hitting on her almost made her lose her Paladinhood as she barely restrained herself from beating me to a bloody pulp often. One of the funniest things which occurred was the Dm saying 'You see a Hag.' I'm like 'What's her Charisma?' He's like 'It's a Hag! They're ugly!' Also, my sig quote came from that character.

Three characters come to mind...
Kefl, my 21st level human barbarian/rogue, who rose to become a chieftain of his people and the chosen champion of the witches who dwell in the nearby mountains. His hastiness, bad temper, and irresponsible streak make him fascinating to play.
Captain Sir John Campion, a soldier from the original Northern Crown campaign, whose ship, the Lorelei, circumnavigated the globe by way of the Northwest Passage, Brobdignag, Rapa Nui, and Xipangu. He's a blustering, weak, Falstaff-like character who is often pulled from the brink of disaster by his more cool-headed companions.
Powers Smith, a tough/strong/ranger multiclass from my hybrid d20 Modern/D&D campaign called The Wild, the Beautiful, and the Damned. Smith is a renegade officer from a secret army unit that does recon and special forces operations in Faerie. He teams up with a gang of misfits to stop the forces of Hell and their evil fey allies from invading earth. He is stubborn, grim, and vicious, definitely not a natural leader, but corrals the party together by sheer force of will and determination.

To be honest, my favorite character is one that never saw play, as the DM folded, but saw a lot of background and writing about. The DM allowed psions with Wisdom instead of Intelligence; I made a Monk/Psion Elan, complete with a rewriting of the Elans as Guauld-like possesors of dead bodies. He traveled as a hermit, practiced long fasts (no need to eat or dring), celibacy (no sexual interest as Elan are asexual), run over hot coals (using power-points to mitigate damage), and so on. He was a regular hindu hermit, and it rocked.
He never saw gametime.
The favorite 3e character that I actually played has to be Koshra, just a regular half-orc barbarian, in love with himself and his great strength. He was just fun.

My favorite character has been Walvin, the dwarf-reincarnated-as-an-elf rogue/fighter/master thrower. He's taken the "throw anything" feat so likes to huck battle axes, swords, and morning stars at enemies.

He's part of a lackluster campaign, but Calvin Broadfoot aka Snoop Doggy Frodo - Gnome Bard has surprisingly been my favorite PC in 3.x!
I purposefully built him as a challenge, because up to this point, I hated gnomes, and I hated bards (from 2e). However, Calvin has just been too much fun to play.
He's specialized in Bluff and his outrageous lies have been a constant source of amusement for me. To this day the party still thinks that I killed a black dragon with nothing but a bottle of high-priced gnomish cologne.
It's been tricky learning to play a "party-support" character like a bard, but even that has been enjoyable. The team now relies on a big Heroes Feast before battle. I usually serve it in the enormous tent provided by my Rod of Splendor. And they have even learned that sometimes it's better to have a bard ready an action to counterspell, than have a sorceror throw another fireball. It's those little bits of color like that have made my bard so much fun to play.
