The char you've enjoyed playing the most ?

From 1e days--the first character I ever rolled up; an anti paladin. Oh, the fun we had. I also played two characters in a decade long DC Heroes game, Stormbringer (a sorcerer) and Diehard (a hero who's whole schtick was he could not be harmed...no super strength, flight, speed, etc). I miss those days so bad.
 

I'm really enjoying the elf fighter/Tempest I'm currently running (in the Shadows of Greatness story hour). It's just awesome to have so many attacks, although I do wish he had a few more skill points. :)

I also had a superhero character I really loved to play, in a Champions game: Xcel, a young female "brick" type. She could run 120 mph, leap the height of a 5-story building, lift a tanker truck, hear a pin drop, and recover overnight from a point-blank gunshot wound. Unfortunately the GM decided superheroes just wasn't his cup of tea. :(
 

Well, lets start at the beginning shall we?

Basic D&D:
Questor the Elf. Kinda obviously what my favourite arcade game was at the time. Had a Cloak of Elvenkind. Best. Item. Evar!

1st Edition:
Darknight the Druid. Only character of mine to hit 27th level ever! Get over level 10 for that matter.
Blackfox. Elven Thief with a Cloak of the Bat (sue me, I like cloaks!)
Timonshenko. Kensai Warrior. Yet we never played in an Oriental campaign. This was the Realms

2nd Edition: I was mainly DM for this so I can recall only one of my characters
Caitlin O'Hara. Human Thief and twin kinfe wielder. Ended up in Ravenloft. Probably most enjoyable campaign ever.

3rd Edition: Once again mostly DMing
Heinrich Uberlich. Warrior/Wizard in the Iron Kingdoms. Went through half of the Witchfire Trilogy. Have to be my fave character. Took out a Steamjack with a fire extinguisher! Good times.

There has been other characters but these are the ones I recall with fond memories. Ahhh I love gaming.

*de-cloaks from lurking and posts*

The two characters I've enjoyed playing most were both halflings. They were also both 3.0 halflings.

The first was found and raised by a tribe of human barbarians. She followed in her adoptive parents' footsteps and became a barbarian herself. She went adventuring to obtain enough gold to have boots of striding and springing made. That way she could keep up with her gamily as they migrated. She also had a riding dog she never actually rode. Instead they walked side by side everywhere. She also managed to rage her way out of some stocks with a natural 20 strength check and be the only party member with a holy weapon when they stumbled upon a castle of vampires.

The second was a halfling rogue in a world where dwarves had discovered gun powder. She managed to snitch some and started making glass vial grenades. The DM let them do area damage much like a spell. The party managed to take more damage from her than most enemies in a battle. When the other party members protested; she just said they should just jump out of the way (evasion). It's what she did every time.
 

I don't get to play that often -- I am usually behind the screen! However, there are two characters that I got to play and quite happily.

Julia Peregrina filia Cerebus Facto of House Merinita -- my Ars Magica maga who I got to play for nearly two years! (squee!) She was a delight; very odd, very flighty, technically a non-combatant, but through some of her spells she was a greater danger to people than those who killed outright. With her child Ori (The Brass Baby) and her familiar Tweety (who only looked like a small dragon -- these external philosophical accidents hid a nightingale), she gleefully confused even the Queen of Bright Summer. **sigh** Everytime I talk about her, I miss playing her all over again...

Charlie Eastway -- my private detective character from a pulp mini-campaign (ran 5-6 sessions) using Over The Edge as the rules, though not the setting. Charlie worked the Chinatown beat in The Big Apple; he was The Man With A Thing For Ming and could do his own saxophone solos. I loved getting into the whole noir patter for him; heckuvalotta fun! He worked well with The Mysterious Professor Zen and The Masked Marvel (a wrestler).

Hmm, maybe I'll get to play again, soon ;)
 

The sorceror Joe, a.k.a. Frack. My first character, spent a few sessions in AD&D before the "Great Conversion" Happened. Spent a long time rasing him from level 0 to 6. Along with his compains Shadow, Elim, and Frick. He has stood as my finest gaming experence. He was done in a home brew where sorcs could go off of Int or Cha, and had usually destructive, sometimes goofy surges regularly.
