One player decided to be the police helicopter pilot and made him up as a gay man (named Jaques, I think). In the end, what made him memorable was the fact that the player came out of the closet as a lesbian the following year. I honestly think she was exploring some issues with that character.Tippy the gnome. NPC played by the DM at the time. Tippy was irrepressibly cheerful... all the time. The DM used a chirpy cheerful voice for him too. We used to tease the poor character all the time yet it never got him down.Ibtisam and her earth gen. Playing Al-Qadim, one player was a sha'ir and had a crabby little earth gen as his servant. The DM played the gen in a really obsequious manner around his mistress, and she would constantly scold him for things. It was like a bizarre comedy routine.Speaking of comedy routines,  I had fun playing a sorcerer with a raven familiar in an online game over the past few years. Edgar the Raven would make snide or off color comments and be scolded by Alton the sorcerer (and straight man) for being rude. Edgar particularly liked to insult the elven eldritch knight in the group. Seriously, when playing a character with a familiar, ravens are the most interesting one because they can talk... to anybody. Tizzer the "archmage" (AKA Tizzer the Mad). Deep gnome illusionist/thief in 1st edition. He drove everywhere in a small cart full of tinker supplies and junk. Had delusions of gradeur but was, fundamentally, a prankster.Lobo  - superhero in Villains and Vigilantes. Had some combat skills and power blast abilities and an unnatural obsession with Perry ComoI can't remember the character's name right now, but it was a lawyer in a Call of Cthulhu game. He would constantly spout off on law, pressing lawsuits against the cults they were after, etc. The player really had a knack for talking lawyeresque BS. It was hysterical when he, as the only surviving character after one PC's backpack full of dynamite blew the rest to smithereens, filed a class-action lawsuit against the manufacturer of the dynamite.</blockquote>
