I’ve never actually played the game but have always been really interested in it and may be getting into an actual game soon with some friends. Since I don’t really know how the game works that well I came up with this idea in hopes that not only will it be fun and cause some laughs but since the character doesn’t know what he’s doing any mistakes I make IRL can be seen as the character just being himself and having no clue what’s going on.

Gdrmptvmz (pronounced Grimdoire) is the son of a very well known and extremely successful high elf sorcerer and sorceress. During his upbringing his parents forced the sorcery life upon him so he would follow in their footsteps. However Grindoire hated that type of life and wanted to create his own path on life, so to rebel against his parents he never learned how to read so he could never understand the teachings his mentors and parents were giving him. Because of this his parents have cast him out of their family and he is now struggling in the streets to make a living. With his parents being so well known everyone he runs across assumes he is a successful sorcerer just as his parents are. Not having any knowledge in sorcery when asked to read a magical scroll or perform a spell since he has no idea what’s on these “scribble papers” he calls them he just mumbles something under his breath in hopes that he gets it right and the person will leave him alone. This however almost never works as intended but since he is naturally gifted in magic thinks he’s doing the correct spell when asked. The last time he had done this a man had given him a scroll to reverse polymorph his brother who had been turned into a goat. Upon “reading” the scroll he threw a fireball at the goat and set him ablaze. Disgusted he tossed the scroll back at the now weeping brother and stated that this is why he doesn’t do magic and the the brother is a sick person.

let me know what you think of my first character build as a total noob lol

I made a changeling warlock of the great old one named Ren. It found a strange tome in a forbidden room and after trying to read some of it had an eldritch link to a strange, alien, horror from the far realm seared into its mind. Ren's favorite persona is Dane Starfield, a male half-elf who is a very charismatic merchant. However,  now there is a new persona of which Ren is unaware of creating. A nameless female human who only communicates using deep speech or telepathy. She is the only persona that can utilize the more powerful abilities of Ren's warlock powers. Also, that strange tome is now the tome granted by the pact boon feature. Ren is travelling to try and find out more about what is going on with it.

Something I've witnessed: A Chaotic Evil person who wants to murder everyone.

Hold on. This isn't the usual hobo-murdering murderhobo.

Nothing she does interferes with anyone's fun. The rest of the party's characters are more averse to murder, preferring to talk over fighting. Her character loves it when things go sideways and people get hurt, but the character never goes out of her way to sabotage things. If someone comes up with an idea that could easily go wrong, she fully supports it. She'll always offer the option to quickly resolve a situation with violence. All of the players leverage the character's murderous desires in a measured fashion (or to make something funny happen).

To paraphrase a live performance:
Her: "I'm resistant to Fire. I throw myself to shield them. Wait. Why would I do that?"
(someone in the audience): "You love them!"
Her: "That's sweet, but no. I want their stuff and the fire will ruin it. They can't die this way."

Another live performance:
Her: *failing to keep up with her runaway demonic books* "Why does everything I love leave me?"
Rogue: *was successfully pacing the books but so was everyone else* I walk back, pick her up, and carry her. "Come on."
Her: *crying* "I always liked you. I'll kill you first."
Rogue: "Yeah. You've said."

Another:
DM: The inscription reads, "Full of spiders. Do not open."
Rogue: "What does it say?"
Her: "It says, 'Open for treasure.'"
Rogue: I immediately open the chest!
DM: You are covered head to toe with little spiders.
Rogue: "AAAAH!!"
Her: (trombone sound) "Womp! Womp!"
Rogue: "NOT WOMP WOMP!! I'M COVERED IN SPIDERS!!"

Another:
Rogue: "Why would you want him to join us?"
Her: "Ballast, or what if we need a body's worth of blood?"

Another:
*on a river, they encountered a happy group of adventurers who are going to go to a monastery to receive the very item that the party needs*
Her: "We could always drown them."
Rogue: "We've talked about this. You can't just drown everyone we meet."
Her: "Oh fine." *pout*

Proof that a person can play, "It's what my murderhobo would do," and not ruin anyone's experience.

See Prudence from Oxventure on YouTube for reference.

(The same player also plays a rough-and-tumble fighter in a different game who's very averse to murder; will avoid people being killed as much as possible.)

I never got to play it, but I had a nudist path of the zealot barbarian that followed a home brew god that believed materialism was the source of all corruption. He’d gone to the point of giving up all his clothes but still kept his shield and hammer for utilitarian purposes. In his downtime he would work to convince his friends to “release their burden” and give up all but their most basic possessions. He would always attack whoever had what looked like the most expensive clothes first.

A Druid Halfling that comes from an Anti Vax family. They have very high con because they overcame many diseases to be where they are now (ie alive) but low strength because they are weak from said diseases. Taught to love nature and rocks, kinda hippy because of antivax parents. Cure wounds is administered with a crystal and healing word with a meditation mantra. 

Two that I really enjoy are;

     1) Aarakorca Rouge Swashbuckler who is flavor texted as a raven. He acts 100% on impulse and does not plan anything out or think anything through (that's why my DM hates him)

     2) Grung Barbarian, Who is the greatest ball of rage that can be contained in such a small package.

Both are really fun to play 

Mosquito man, he would be a swarmkeeper dhampir who's swarm would be a big ball of mosquitos which he uses to drain blood from a distance and blot out light. 

Hear me out, a female high elf wizard. It's an absolute impossibility that she has a beard. Except when she was a new adventurer she was granted a minor wish by some magical creature and she wished for a full, thick beard. Everywhere she goes, she is called the bearded elf.

I made a male halforc warlock who made a deal with the archfey to learn the magic of illusions to hide his real appearance which he is ashamed of and a high elf female who accidentally made a deal with the fiend thinking it was the archfey for more knowledge and now she is forced to serve the fiend but she hates it.

1) Aasimar Kensei Monk  -  Would use if playing in a campaign with modern weapons. Take pistols as Kensei weapons. Reflavor a longsword or similar weapon as a katana. Wear some fancy looking shades and a trenchcoat to basically look like a character from the Matrix. (play as a Fallen Aasimar just to get that edgy "fallen angel" background worked in there too)

2) A bard that takes the Mirror Image, Dancing Lights, and Fog Cloud spells (using magical secrets when necessary) so that he can make copies of himself to be a one-man boy band with all of the fancy technical effects. 

3) Make a Fey Wanderer ranger with the Druidic Warrior fighting style. Invest highly in Charisma and Wisdom and be the face of the party as a ranger. 

4) Artificer/Fighter with the returning weapon infusion applied to a dart (reflavored as a boomerang) and using the Thrown Weapon and Archery fighting styles. 

5) A small race character as a Battle Smith artificer to use the SD as a medium mount. Pick up the dual wielder feat and dual wield lances while mounted. 

6) Wild Magic Barbarian multiclassed with War Magic wizard for 2-3 levels. Use wizard levels to pick up Arcane Deflection, Tactical Wit, and a bunch of passive buff spells to cast before raging. Later on use the Wild Magic barb feature to refill spell slots along with your Arcane Recover to make the most out of what few spell slots you have

7) A Bugbear Bear-totem Barbarian named "Teddy" 

A stubby Halfling who thinks he's fearsome and that everything can be solved with violence. If he had some axes, that would be awesome, too.

A suspciously tall and heavy set Human Figher, with a big square underbite, and literal White-paint coloured skin.  Named Hugh Mann.  He wears an extremely tattered old dinner suit and top hat many sizes too small, "He dunt talk righ' good", and he's definitely not an Orc.  

A kobold bard whose clan live in the sewers beaneath a modest sized theatre.  As kobolds are feared and hated, he can only watch longingly from beaneath the floorboards as people put on plays, bands play and poets recite. One day he finds a disguise kit left by one of the actors, and sets out into the world, with his kobold features poorly disguised.  Uses old tin cans strung around his body as an instrument, and often recites terribly mangled poetic lines from plays he's misremembered "Be not afraid of greatness. Be afraid of spiders",  "If music be the food of love, feed me a lute for breakfast!"

I did this too! It was sooo much fun. I played a goblin warlock who truly believed she was a halfling cleric of Morwel (Celestial being from 3.5). My DM loved the role play and mMorwel eventually appeared and made me an actual half-ling, which was actually anbnoying,.

Air genasi warlock/the genie (Djinni). The Djinni is the knowing father and made sure to make an offspring that could do X in the world to make the genie more powerful or similar. 

Human (variant) warlock/fied, with the Magic Initiate (Wizard) feat. He was a wizard prodigy but got caught trying to study deamons/fiends and got kicked out from wizard school BUT had lerned how to contact a fiend and made a pact. Still pretending to be a wizard. (also as a bonus, its fun to have 7 cantrips XD)

I haven't played mine in a campaign yet (she's in Adventurer's Tavern in PbP)

A reborn goliath werewolf [who enjoys going in the rafters & growling at people].

Yo do you have the stats for this?

an air Genasi mountain ranger/ Storm Sorceror
and a water Genasi druid/Magic User or sorcerorNamed Nimue

I made a forest gnome bard (College of Whispers) that used as his magical focus an imp ventriloquist dummy. Casting unseen servant as a ritual I would even have the dummy act independently, enhancing this effect with minor illusions and mage hand. I would use my psychic whisper effects using the dummy with me playing the straight man. Whenever I would play music I would have the Dummy play a cowbell for the beat. It was a lot of fun, and had the bonus effect of being a great distraction mechanism. Adversaries would often view the animated doll as more of a threat than the fighter in our party.

A warforged artificer who has technical and mechanical knowhow enough to constantly upgrade himself and give himself gear, until, at higher level, can basically become iron man. It wields an electric dagger, ( finesse ) and an incredibly powerful long range crossbow ( finesse ) +5 dex, +3 con, -1 str, +2 int, +3 wis, +2 Cha, LN

Late to the party here, but:
Warforged Warlock, archfey patron, pact of the chain.
They were a puppet created by an elven craftsman who imparted some measure of themselves into this ornate puppet. enough to give it sentience, but not enough to allow it to move. When the craftsman was killed, the puppet was thrown out, and, taking pity, a passing fairy granted it the ability to move. Now it hunts evil and seeks to become a real person. 
Best played as a pact of the chain with an advisory familiar (Jiminy Cricket).
