Hootie- human- owlbear totem barbarian w observant feat that goes tome warlock so he won't have to sleep. He keeps watch every night, calling out "Who?" every time he thinks someone might be out there.
Desmond the Unliving. I homebrewed a Succubus/Incubus playable race (a tiefling would also have worked, but I think it's funnier this way) and made him a bard, mostly to play into the joke about bards wanting to nail everything that moves. His whole thing, though, is that he's done with short, vapid connections (and sucking out souls). He's on a sabbatical, he's vacationing in the material plane, and he's looking for love--actual, meaningful romance.
Hroo is a Chaotic Neutral Aarakocra Monk(Astral Self)/Druid(Circle of Stars) with the Hermit background, the Observant feat, and fairly low charisma.
Due to a combination of high observation skills, astral enlightenment, and lack of social etiquette, she will periodically call out useful advice to those around her when they conveniently need it. To the annoyance of her friends, this occurs whether or not she is prompted and mostly during combat. Also, the advice is often esoteric enough that Hroo herself should not even understand it... but she proceeds to give it anyway.
Here's the kicker: Being a bird person, Hroo has the features of a bird, particularly a dove in her case. Doves are technically pigeons.
So Hroo is a pigeon-person that constantly gives advice to other characters.
A jet-black Aarakocra fighter with a Gladiator background. His real name is Russell but in the pits he was known as "The Crow"

Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"
A Level 3 NPC of a generic fantasy MMO who was the last part of a tutorial quest for instructing level 1 players about how higher level mobs work by fighting them.
When an expansion came out, players spawned into a new tutorial area and his place became completely devoid of players leaving him with nothing to do.
So, he decided to leave his quest area, abandon his hovering exclamation point, and go see and do all the things the players would get to see and do - knowing the risk of dying would reset him back where he is supposed to be but losing all that he experienced and learned and gained - a total personality wipe - a kind of permadeath.
Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.
Griswold "Gizmo" Grayling, my gnome artificer who has an obsession with attempting to bind every spell he can into gems. He has a metal rhino called Bessy which he uses as a mechanical steed, and a walking stick which transforms at will into his boomstick, a telescope, and various other items he'd have on his person.
"Now spells are one thing, but curses are a bit trickier! I tried to get a werewolf's curse into a gem once, and that was a thing itself. I had the gem wrapped in a fine cage of silver to keep the curse inside, and it was going well - the subject was even turning back into a human - when the gem exploded. I'm now looking for a new test subject, as I couldn't get all of the bits of cage out of their chest in time, as well as a larger gem and new living quarters."
An oath of the crown Paladin that serves the realm of a make believe kingdom, like their favourite book growing up or their dead child's, if you want the classic tragic background flair. They travel and tell people they are from the make believe place, far traveler background works if you want most NPCs to not know your lying. Have huge impact if DM makes a villain from your fantasy realm. I just thought it would be cool to have a paladins powers steam from their own beliefs and conviction over a deity or nature
Water Genasi Sorcerer (Draconic Ancestry (Red)) with green skin & steam coming out of his/her ears constantly when on land, & bubbles coming out of his/her ears constantly when underwater. Just the basic idea of a character I wanna play. The draconic ancestry doesn't have to be red specifically for it to be fire & water, but I just like the idea of the scaly patches contrasting THAT MUCH with the skin, & other characters assuming he/she is sick or cursed.
Another idea I have (using the character sheet as a DM) is a LVL 20 Drow Cleric (Lawful Good) who escaped the Underdark centuries ago, married a princess who later became queen, had half-drow kids, lost his wife (allowing his oldest to ascend to the throne), & living in the middle of nowhere with 2 elephants, potion making knowledge, & insane equipment he got while his wife was alive, waiting through his child's, grandchild, & great-grandchild's reigns until the party shows up.
Gnome inventor who is obsessed with creating truly sentient autonomous artificial life. He has a mechanical chicken whom he has fallen in love with and rides into battle on a spider-Legged battle mech shooting his blunderbuss and throwing vials of different acids, combustible oils, and poisons. He insults people whose creations he seems sub-par and gets very defensive if you insult or hurt his beloved mechanical chicken.
A spring eladrin gunslinger whose flowery-patterned guns produces pink rose blossom illusions instead of a burst of fire at the end of the barrel when fired and claims their guns run on ' flower power'
A little anime girl named Poundcake who swears like sailor, drinks like fish, and heartily enjoys beating the tar out of people, I'm thinking unarmed fighting fighter.
