Whenever I think of assinine characters the first thing I think of is Mescaline.  In a Forgotten Realms campaign one of my friends played Mescaline Longshaft (ha ha! Get it?!  It's funny!! Ugh.), a dwarf.  Her character concept started out as something that wouldn't work well anyway, so when a fighter (to get a decent attack bonus with thrown weapons) couldn't make a decent amount of potions (what she wanted him to be able to throw) the character fell into a downward spiral of idiocy.  She refused to actually read what Forgotten Realms dwarves were supposed to be like, instead playing a Terry Pratchet one and saying it was just because he was crazy he acted that way.  He also became enamoured with wearing pink and frills, decorating his pony's hair with whatever loot he found, and getting a pair of pink butterfly wings tatooed on his back.  That actually allowed him to fly once/dy or something like that.  The further the campaign went, the more people wanted to just scream "Will you shut up?!" at him every time he opened his mouth.  He was next to useless in combat, horded treasure, and made diplomacy extremely difficult with his ability to say precisely the wrong thing at the wrong time.  It has tainted my view of dwarves since.</blockquote>
