How did he or she stand out from other characters that you've played?  What made himd or her your favorite character?Of all the characters I've played in various games over the years two stand out:The first was a foul mouthed pilot named Cecil that I played in d6  pulp game.  I had a good time with that character and always enjoyed playing him.  Cecil was the complete opposite of me in every way.  He was a bash, outspoken, foul mouthed pilot/mechanic who chain smoked and drank heavily, whereas I'm somewhat shy, introverted and neither smoke nor drink.  Maybe he was an attempt to act out what I would be like if I didn't have any restraints.My second favorite character was a barbarian/fighter named Erik von Heimlich I played in a Ravenloft game.  Erik was a simple craftsman from a small village in Lamordia until one day his peaceful village was burned to ground by a demon that came to be known only as "The Black Monster".  He managed to escape, but every one else was slaughtered by the seemingly invincible monster.  Unable to cope with what he had witnessed Erik developed a variety of neurosises and lived alone in the wilderness trying to cope with his inner demons (hence I gave him a barbarian level).  After five years he returned to civilization.  Honing his skills, he lived for one purpose: revenge against the monster that had taken his village, family, and sanity.Erik was a cool character because he had a very dark past.  Even though he really a combat monster, he also fought his inner demons.  Playing him was kind of a cathartic experience allowing me to play a character who was able to triumph over a lot of personal problems.What about your favorite characters?</blockquote>
