Ones you have used, ones you are using, or ones you just have.
Human "Barbarian" Paladin of Bahamut:
Basically saw a dragon once and become obsessed with how strong they were and fell assbackwards into worshiping Bahamut.
Elderly Tiefling Wizard:
Up for anything, basically doesn't give a shit anymore, just wants to do illusion magic and parlour tricks and maybe help a few people if they can.
AMAB Enby Devil-Cleric:
Self-serving, sugardaddy is Asmodeus, or some other devil, they made a pact with in exchange for hrt and magic powers.
A druid named Trofim who likes to turn grains into other kinds of grain.
Created a bureaucratic cleric. Came to the table with physical forms for the other PC's to fill out. First gave out forms authorizing healing services, but these had a field requiring an ID number, so then the other players had to fill out membership ID forms in order to get that number first.
oh i figured if anyone was interested here are the docs. I think this PC is especially fun if you're coming into an established group. Just say you followed the carnage and had to start filling out the proper death certificates for all of the party's victims

I'd probably make some kind of dwarf warrior who was a miner in a former life but his family was killed when the mining guild dug too deep and awoke an ancient beast, now he lives to take revenge on said creature. Kind of like a Captain Ahab type, with an eye patch who wields a lance larger than himself because of how powerful he is.
I'd imagine he'd grow as a character and learn to let go of revenge and become involved with the struggle of the common people while living his new life as a professional adventurer/mercenary. His arc would be complete when he fights in a successful peasant uprising to overthrow the monarchy.
I guess everyone can see I’m playing an Aasimar Cleric with imposter syndrome.
I also put together a Dwarf Rogue that’s just indiana jones except he’s a masters student instead of a professor, and he’s full of shit.
I was also thinking of RPing a politician using the rogue class.
I've always wanted to use my idea of a skeleton trapped in a fleshy prison by a wizard that has to figure out how to use his body so he can get revenge
I really want to RP fantasy guy fieri as a dragon born bard/warlock.
Played tiefling warlock who made a pact with a gluttony demon/devil to get a job advertising junk food. Burning hands became Flamin' Hot™ XXXXtra Spicy Grab® etc, was great for a one shot.
Back burner chars include: a streetwise monk awakening from a medatative coma who was betrayed by his order and left for dead.
Willy wonka necromancer: come with me, and you'll see a world of pure reanimation!
Warforged cleric, uncertain of its origins and trying to figure out if they were created to worship or has chosen to worship on their own.
Teenage mutant ninja tortle one shot.
Goliath war-shaman, wild magic or zealous barbarian on a pilgrimage to solve his tribe's declining birth rate. Barbarians fucking rule if you play them as more than an angry dude who likes to hit things.
Plane-stranded horizon-walker/rogue.
I want to make an extremely dumb yet extremely charismatic brute of (unsure )race named roggerik (He was named roderick but he can’t spell good and pronounces it wrong) I want everyone to fine him charming and insightful while says and does the dumbest things imaginable. like forrest gump I guess but way dumb and less thoughtful
ive always played INT based characters so this will be fun for me
a wizard whose body was switched with his master's during a summoning ritual gone wrong, so outwardly an elderly man but inside a young one in pursuit of some magic to reverse the curse.
A half-orc warrior displaced from his tribe that stumbles onto a nature spirit's grove and rededicates to a steward of the land. Warrior/Druid multiclass.
A haughty elf noble woman who is the unlucky 1 in 100 family members who manifest as a sorcerer due to a hag's curse from 1000 years ago and is forced out of her noble house and pursues a life of adventure to find new purpose.
A halfling swashbuckler that activated a mirror ,imprisoning a devil, when she is looting a captured ship with her crew, the devil once freed makes a pact with her before devouring the other pirates leaving her alone and on a new path. Swashbuckler/Warlock multiclass.
A dwarf ranger, generations of family are the clan's exterminators but this fellow has gotten the itch to travel seeking out new and more dangerous vermin to expand his families knowledge and techniques of extermination. Has a hard time sleeping on anything other than solid rock.
A halfling bard, but he channels his bardic energy by reciting embellished anecdotes from his quaint hillside village most of which are to the effect of "One time my good friend and cousin was trying to beat me in a turnup harvesting race but he didn't account for the mud and slipped right on his bum the very first turnip giving me an insurmountable lead."
I sometimes get D&D and Pathfinder mixed up but the character concept should be able to translate easily
Warlock lawyer. You write up contracts for summoning demons and claiming soulds.
