This isn't edition, system, or game specific just table-top RPGs. <ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Who was/were your favorite character/s that you've either ever played or ever DM'd for and why?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Race/Class (if applicable)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">How did the character(s) end in the game you were playing? TPK, Solo Death, Retirement, Godhood, other (maybe still playing it)?</li> </ol>Add any additional information that you'd like including some of the best highlights that you can remember which you think would be fun to share. I just wanted a fun "time to shine" bragging thread about our favorites which could in turn give us some more ideas for new types of characters to try out.For me:As a player - I'll never forget my very first character Sarlin Silverlock (cheesy I know) who was a half-elven ranger. He reached level 12 (back in 2E D&D), he actually died a few times, but since it was my very first character in a solo adventure my DM took it easy on me and found ways of bringing him back to life, with NPCs helping me out along the way and having to do quests for them to repay them or through divine favor. His final death was epic. He was fighting a white dragon in aerial combat upon his Pegasus, the dragon killed the mount during combat and Sarlin ended up falling and fighting the dragon at the same time from a great height. He had a vorpal sword and my DM allowed called shots, I rolled a 20 and called the shot to lop off the dragon's head. It happened! The dragon died and Sarlin fell to his own death shortly after. It was an epic conclusion to a character I dearly loved and really made me want to keep playing the game and here it is over a decade later and I'm still going strong.As a DM - I DM'd for my best friend who got me into the hobby in a solo campaign. He had two characters he played, one a Human Necromancer named Exodus Adere and the other a Human Barbarian named Tor (no last name). The campaign spanned a full 20 levels (2E again), in which the characters achieved demi-god status (Exodus) and kingship/retirement (Tor). I took his characters through numerous settings: Dragonlance, FR, Ravenloft, Midkemia, and quite a few others. Was probably my best campaign I've ever run to date and a lot of fond memories. This experience got me hooked on DM'ing and world-building as well. So what are yours? Again feel free to pick multiple characters and give as much or as little information as you'd like. I'll read them all and enjoy what you have to share.Thanks,Trav</blockquote>
