D&D 5E Interesting Race/Class/Background combinations

So far I've just played my first game of DND last week so I haven't gotten a chance to mess around with customizing backgrounds yet.

However, a few ideas have popped up.

Tux Palico: A tuxedo(colored fur pattern) Tabaxi Warlock Hexblade with the Lucky. Playing off the bad luck feel of black cats via Hex. He is currently trailing a person as he has a promise to uphold to his master. So Tux is tracking down......

Jedah Silvertongue: A rogue human Warlock Great Old One patron who is a Charlatan and abuses whatever means is available to acquire power. Currently he's trying to elude a "damnable cat" that is constantly trailing him. Also as a running gag in different games, he appears as a NPC that is constantly "dying" or being a thorn in the PCs sides where more often than not, his own plans blow up in his face.

However, he has the "devil's luck" and survives constantly. In truth he posses an arcane magic bag full of gold called "The Coins of Fate's Folly. He legit uses these coins to bribe Charon, yes *THAT Charon, to not take his soul into the after life, thus Jedah revives from each death when it happens. Although, he's starting to run low on coins....*
Currently Jedah has a lead on a powerful magic sword of the wind. Such a magic blade could surely be used as a bribing piece. So he's looking for the sword Crissegarm, but upon finding it learns that it is actually....

A Ragewalker(reflavored Half-Elf Barbarian Path of The Beast subclass) that ISN'T said blade Jedah is looking for. For short her name is Criss.

Working on a Tiefling Cleric Charlatan. Not sure of her past as of yet, but she uses her skills to con and swindle tyrants, overlords, the domineering out of money, goods, and information. She then gives back to the poor or repressed using her 'miracle' cures and tricks of slight of hand. Kinda like a magic wielding Robin Hood with horns and a tail. She uses her disguises to get closer to people and hide her demonic traits to avoid the abuse and mistrust suffered by her race.

Half-Orc Pact of the Kraken Warlock/Conquest Paladin Pirate inspired by Woefully Fat the Bokor in On Stranger Tides (Tim Powers book NOT the Disney movie).

He was raised in the swamp by his Mama who was a feared witch known to consort with spirits and monsters (including Orcs). He runs away to sea but is thrown overboard during a storm, recalling the strange prayers he would hear from his mother he makes a pact with a Kraken and survives to be rescued. A passing ship take shim on and the cleric-navigator is put in charge of nursing him to health, this cleric gives him the name Woeful and also trains the half-orc in navigation.

Getting to port however Woeful learns that the ship is a Slave ship with a cargo of Orc slaves for sale. Seeing the treatment of the slaves, Woeful is overcome with rage and leads a revolt, freeing the slaves and seizes the ship to become a Pirate with a mission to destroy all Slavers
