Your unused character ideas?

[BigVanVader]

Pretty simple, what are some ideas for characters you have, but haven't used?

I'll start us off, with a Halfling Monk that I'd play as a Luchador. Make him like a miniature Danny Trejo in a mask, have him flip around and leap off of things to splash people on the ground, etc. It would be a lot of fun, with a race I generally don't pay attention to.

What are some of yours? In any game system, whatever.

 

[TrippyHippy]

A Dwarven Bard. An agitator punk rocker; a demagogue with an anarchistic agenda. He may have facial piercings, tattoos and spiky hair…. Using words, action and angry loud music, can inspire a generation towards rebellion! Carries a stringed instrument which can be amplified with magic.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Got lots, like:

A Halfling or gnome barbarian that is one part Wolverine (uses TWF and blade-claws), and one part Sonic the Hedgehog/porcupine (magical speed enchantments, spiked armor)

A Warforged who was created to be a living gateway to the infernal planes, but who has rebelled against his purpose (combining themes from Hellraiser and Hellboy)

A Dragonborn Paladin/Sorcerer inspired by the Arabic scholar from Eaters of the Dead/13th Warrior

Dr. Zeus, a genetically engineered hyper-intelligent orangutan who uses high-tech weaponry, mostly based on the theories of Nicola Tesla. A fusion of Gorilla Grodd, Monseur Mallah, Mojo Jojo, and Dr. Zaius.



Plus, a host of cool concepts that got used in aborted campaigns lasting less than 6 sessions, like Adragon, a sorcerer who didn't cast spells, but rather, channeled them into his Draconic breath weapon. Usually, he just fought in his scale mail and used a Maul.

These are completely wonderful ideas. Keep 'em coming!

I had one idea for Shadowrun, but I couldn't play it unless I either had a trusted friend, or a DM that let me play two characters: But the idea is basically a couple of occultist bikers, really big bruiser sorts who each provide the muscle. If anyone's a wrestling fan, they'd essentially be the Brothers of Destruction, Kane and Undertaker.

 

[TrippyHippy]

A Warlock who is masquerading as a Wizard in a College for Wizards. He tries to pass himself off as a magical scholar, as a conceit, but is hampered by some basic failings such as he never learned to read properly. His parents and elder siblings were notable wizards and he has a bit of a chip on his shoulder about it. In order to pass himself of as something he’s not, he took a pact with beings who granted him powers. Thus he can replicate some spells through his own means.

But one lie leads to another and, in order to avoid suspicion, he frequently excuses himself from class, by taking ‘field trips’ to supposedly to garner spell components or low key magical items he can impress. He normally garners these from a local pawn merchant to which he is in debt to. The pawn merchant has recently called his debt in, meaning his deception is now a reality - he now has to collect a real magic item on behalf of the Merchant. It may be a very dangerous mission, though…..

 

[Hand of Evil]

One eyed Jack -- Human Rogue swashbuckler that lost a bet with a demon and so lost his eye, only to have it replaced with that of the demon. If the patch comes off all Jack see is blood and goes berserker and mad. Stronger, faster, harder to kill and friendless. (He also regens so no loss of the demon eye). Also named the Red Jack. Based off a number of things.

 

[Altamont Ravenard]

One I haven't thought out much so far is an unwilling priest/cleric to the Ancient Ones (~Cthulhu). He's actually fighting their arrival / comeback, yet they give him powers.

 

[Gretkatillor]

A dwarven wizard abandoned as an infant but "raised by rocks and minerals", who also taught him magic. He is highly intelligent but deranged, and quite openly prefers the company of stones and boulders over that of people. He walks around coated in clay rather than wearing clothes, always carving runes in some dirty rock. His familiar - "and lover" - Pebbles is a smooth, donut-shaped stone. High point would be casting Meteor swarm and screaming "I crush you... with the power of ROCK!"

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

A voodoo priest/Necromancer/martial artist. Fighting style is capoeira, mixed with escrima. His escrima clubs are textured like rhythm sticks, disguising their purpose.

 

[Herobizkit]

Modern: Dwarven (Magical) Tattoo Artist. Rides a Harley, wears Hawaiian shirts; freelance detective and hunter of Monsters.

Future: Dr. Zeus, a genetically engineered hyper-intelligent orangutan who uses high-tech weaponry, mostly based on the theories of Nicola Tesla. A fusion of Gorilla Grodd, Monseur Mallah, Mojo Jojo, and Dr. Zaius. Yes, [MENTION=19675]Dannyalcatraz[/MENTION], I like the concept THAT much.

Superhero (This may happen via PbP): Shieldmaiden - Wonder Woman + Norse theme + Robotech Cyclone armor + force shield + gang warfare secret agent for the police.
