The three most recent ones:1) Eranilor Nailo, elven ex-teacher, scout, archer and cynical optimist wiseass. This is the only character I've ever played whom I based totally on myself. Same philosophy, attitude to life, manner of speaking, etc. He was typically elven in some areas (loved poetry and literature and curled up when not on watch with a collection of plays by the famed Greyhawk playwright Shakespeare, esp. "Hamlet, Prince of Dyvers" and "Othello, the Half-Orc of verbobonc") and atypical in others - purely carnivorous, teetotaller and completely lawful in that he followed his personal code to the T but ignored society's. Was great fun to play, and would have been even more so if it wasn't a dungeon-crawl-focused campaign (RttToEE).2) Tharg - orc barbarian. Stupidest PC I ever played, with a 6 in Int/Wis/Cha. All power attack all the time. Survived till 2nd lvl (when the campaign folded), which midly surprised me. I usually play smart PCs, so it's a nice change to sometimes play a really dumb character. Had a lot of fun doing his voice, being unable to communicate in or understand words of more than two syllables, and trying to explain his mathematical system of "one, two, three, many" (which anyone who has read the Terry Pratchett novel "Men at Arms" will recognize).3) Granny, i.e. Althea Nackle. Current PC. 180 year old gnome grandmother, who decided to become an adventurer again (she retired 120 yrs ago) because she was post-menopausal, sick of her daughter-in-law, and tired of babysitting.
