A shaman from a barbarian culture (bought as Sorceror), who gained a bonus feat for having the flaw 'does not believe his magic works', but who cast spells all the time anyway ("This won't work, but I don't have anything better to do"), and who wore nothing but a bearskin cloak and a thick layer of rancid bearfat.
What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

I think this wins. The whale is good for over-the-top, but this is so...disturbingly yet plausibly weird.Agback said:

That's the only unicorn I'll ever allow IMC. A unicorn ghost. With Cha boosting items and Sorceror levels. And Horrific Appearance!
I swore them off because they're cliche.
And the PCs would probably call them "Thunder Rainbow" or something cutesy like that...and I would have it stab them in the eye for being annoying.
What about a mute, telepathic Bastard-Sword-wielding Drow Barbarian?
Why not just have a brain with no jar...just squeezes the blood out of the corpses into the brain?

That reminds me. Anthropomorphic albino sperm whale hulking hurler. He's looking for the man who harpooned his pa.
Demiurge out.

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.

Well, y'all have me beat. The worst one I've seen in any of the games I've participated in is someone who made a bard and actually wanted him to become a Mystic Pimp from Mongoose's Encyclopedia Arcane: Nymphology. Fortunately, that DM didn't even allow multiclassing, so no go there.

How about a giant mutant cockroach trapped forever inside the body of a halfling, with superpowers that only work thanks to the unique sensation of his specially made Telfon 9 underpants, who spends a lot of time working out these strange unusual "mammalian urges," as he puts it?
That's what you get for telling the players they can play almost any sort of character. That same campaign also included a kobold sheriff from the wild west, a Warcaft troll (they speak with Jamaican accents, apparently) who had been trained as a ninja by panderans (big humanoid pandas, also from Warcaft), and a zeltron (Star Wars race) who truly believed himself to be a lesser zeltron god of goodness, virtue, justice, parties, alcohol, and hallucinogenic substances.

Oh, that's easy. All scientist has to do is go to Mass and wait for the cakes and wine to be turned into the flesh and blood of christ. Should be a snap to get a dna sample from that.
Oddest concept I've seen in a game? An elf in Rolemaster who had a thing for flesh. Not sex. Flesh. The player would go on and on about how he loved to carve up flesh... lovely flesh. In a weird singsong voice. The guy creeped me and the other players out so much we told the gamemaster we would not play if the guy came back. I still get chills.
In a 2nd ed. game, we had a cross dressing dwarf rogue who wanted to be a bard. Player was a good singer but the idea of a male dwarf in a teddy ala Dr. Frankfurter from the Rocky Horror Picture Show got old pretty fast.

The most irritating character for me was a human thief in 2e. The character was a 12 year old orphan, played with all of the neuroses that you would expect from a child abandoned at a young age. She would continually throw her daggers into combat, regardless of the risk to the other party members. And, the player affected the most irritating voice. It was a satisfying night when the otyoughs ate her, I tell you.

One of my players decided to be Duffman. Yeah, the Duff bear spokesman from the Simpsons. He was a human monk dressed in blue and red tights that distributed ale and beer. And he had a gnome bard (or maybe it was a sorceror) follow him around so he could have the gnome play his 'theme music' wherever he went via illusion spells and such.
