What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

Two words: Succubus paladin.
How 'bout a succubus druid? Check out Sepulchrave II's Compiled Story Hour in the forum of the same name (a campaign with nothing BUT cool, totally-not-asinine characters).

This one is mine: A superhero named Harvey. He was about a 75-point character with lots of social and business skills (I believe I wrote him up in GURPS Supers). The rest of his points (about 450) went into his only superpower: absorption. Any damage done to him was converted into character points, with the restriction that the only thing that it could be used to purchase was the Extra Life advantage. He was unkillable. The supervillains would hold up a bank, and Harvey would walk in and start trying to help people out. He'd get caught and vapourized by something. Then, about 30 seconds later, he'd get up and keep going. He actually wasn't good for anything at all except being The Distraction while the other heroes actually saved the day. Totally retarded, but a lot of fun.

I dunno, I think that's pretty freakin cool. But I'm in a group who would think that's pretty 'core and we spend more roleplaying than rolling dice anyway.

<SNIPPY> and the stripper/hooker kung-fu ninja daredevil. <SNIPPY>

I think I dated her in high school - the character not the player - not quite as fun as it sounds, I still have all the scars, both real and emotional... *sob*

Vampire hunter fighter/cleric (OK so far ...)

Who specialized in using the whip. Just a normal, everyday, does subdual damage whip. Against undead.

Were this player still alive, I'd take away his Castlevania game. RIP.
 

In an Anime game..

A two foot tall psychotic pokemon named ComBear (Combat Bear X64301) wielding dual bazookas would speak in a scottish accent and could only say two things. The first being "COMBEAR!" and the second being "YEH POOFTEH".

His flaws were Rage (When anyone didn't refer to him as Lord Reginald Fitzpatrick the Third in a english accent) and Collectible!.

I blew Iron Chef Viridian to a lonely grave.

Not that it was a serious game. But it's still annoying for others when they sort of assume I'm going to do something constructive but actually blow the living hell out of whatever planet we are standing on and call it names.
 

I'm almost fed up with one of my players and her designs. I specifically have told her for the 6th time that only the core phb rulebook is being used for the new campaign.
1. Her first character- The loner Drow rebelling against the Drow "man" . -- not only is the concept tired and played but there's nothing core about the drow
2. Second character- elf ranger. sounds good, until i got her character background. First she wanted the character to be 1,200 years old. then she wanted to have the elf be some sort of spy for his elven kingdom (for which he is a prince). Now, first, the phb elf can live a maximum of 700 years old and at first level that made no sense. Second in the info i gave the player about the campaign, there is no elven kingdom. I spent a week arguing back and forth with her trying to explain how the character background needs to change to accept into the campaign.
3. third character- I finally convince her just to switch characters because I didn't want to hear no more about the damn elven ranger. So she picks elven rogue and i allow her to have handle animal because she says she wants to own pets. Not a problem with me. She explained how she was so affixiated with the ranger's animal companion that she still wants to own an animal. I explained how it wasn't going to be the same and how the pet will not grow in levels as the animal companion does. As tough as this adventure is the animals may not live through the first session I warned her. She went on anyway and i told her she could buy the dogs. Of course she began to explain how she wanted these animals to particate in the adventure. Despite my warnings she went on with it, in the back of my head i'm thinking how satisfying it'll be to kill one of those things during an area effect spell.
Of course it doesnt end there, the character emails me back and asks if she can switch the dogs to wolves because the dogs aren't as big and strong as she designed the dogs to be.

I swear I'm at my wits in. I don't want to be an a-hole but i'm near asking her not to come to the new campaign.
 

A long time ago a fella asked me if he could play a Tarrasque. With nil intelligence, I told him it would be fitting.

Let's see. There was that insane player who had a cranium rat hive... what was her name? Oh yeah. Clueless. ;) (I'll fess up when I have wierd ones.)

Oddest/worst concept I've had tossed at me? Jesus. No seriously. In an Alternity game, a psionic clone of the SoG himself. Don't ask how the player thought he could get DNA.


Had an epic level game where one character basically played Jesus..Monk and vow of poverty among other things(was even names jesus)..and I was kinda obligated to play Jesus with the Risen Martyr prestige class..

Also has a game where someone was playing a Solar Pally...Profession Baker..walked around wearing a chef's hat.
 

I once played an awakened golden lion tamarin (a kind of monkey) psion (nomad) in a long-term, serious campaign. He wore a little cape and posed as the wizard's familiar. He was actually pretty effective with mass concussion.
