Characters I have played in the past couple of years of roleplay:
A reformed cut-throat bandit.
The security officer of the equivalent of a space-16-wheeler, dumped in a "Event Horizon" kind of mess.
A winter witch who escaped slavery and now gets antsy if she stays in the same place for too long.
A spacefaring telepath who is very done with this shit and fries people's brains or has monsters gnawing at their own flesh.
The middle kobold in a three-kobolds-in-a-trenchcoat kind of set up.
A female musketeer with very little sword skills but a penchant for alchemy and explosions (and very little eyebrows left).
A bounty hunter hunting for a guy in a 1990s Shanghai that is infested by monsters and where the Triads are the least of your problems.
A fishman scout working on a submarine for a minimum wage.
A 1930s airhead bimbo actress set to play the main character of a female-Tarzan kind of flick, who first ends up in the Hollow Earth, and then has to pretend to be a goddess on Barsoom.
There's so much good stuff out there, in terms of settings and rules! We truly live in blessed RPG times, if you look at it the right way.
