Mike Mearls' recent skill challenges column had an interesting idea in it: roleplaying stat blocks. Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (Stat Blocks for Roleplaying)
I'm using this idea in my Scouring of Gate Pass game, with a few minor additions. Here's what I have so far--I hope others will add more and save me some work.
Larion, In Disguise
Appearance: Hideously ugly. Any one of his features could be considered a deformity.
Voice: Low-brow British. Coughing, sneezing, sniffling.
Key Traits: Impatient, insistent, demanding
Goal: Learn the password for the case
Motivation: Gain standing through success
Fears: Discovery
Weaknesses: Doesn’t know Peppin, thinks Rivereye is ashamed of appearance.
Larion, Unmasked
Appearance: Tall and guant eladrin, with hollow cheeks and hard eyes.
Voice: High-tone British, with a vicious undercurrent.
Key Traits: Misogynistic, cruel, experienced fieldworker
Goal: Escape, reveal no information
Motivation: Gain standing through success
Fears: Superiors learning of his being caught
Weaknesses: Hates Shealis, desires her position, despises Solon's naivete
Solon
Appearance: Glowing ball of light & flame with humanoid features.
Voice: Chiming, no accent.
Key Traits: Naive, powerful, sees things in black & white, talkative
Goal: Help Shealis
Motivation: Serve the greater good
Fears: Evil overcoming the world
Weaknesses: Over-reliance on Detect Evil; believes all good people are on the same side
