So it was around the time I was about to join the D&D club at school that I was also playing Bloodborne, and what that game has is probably my most favored weapon in the entirety of video games: The Executioner's Wheel Logarius' Wheel. Basically, it was a weapon with the design of a stage coach wheel, and as big as one too, but twice the thickness in order to kill vampires effectively and to properly contain the arcane power it possessed. The character I had in mind was a Dwarven War Cleric; I wanted to hit hard, take hits in return, and lob spells at close ranges, and I wanted to base his character off of someone/something in the game. What I made was a drunk, cranky Dwarf that was really mad about how somebody had stolen his war-temple's sacred artifact, and his name was (I say was, but tales still speak of an angry, stout wanderer carrying a giant wheel...) Logarius Wheelrider. Pretty inventive, huh? Tbh, I didn't care about the blatant name and weapon rip-off and I still don't.
Anyway, the sacred artifact was Logarius' Wheel, but for our purposes it didn't have any arcane power and its origin story was vastly(-ish) different. Actually no, the story was really similar but whatever. It did a crap-ton of damage, I think it was 2d10 Blunt. I never got to use it due to me not coming to school on Mondays (it was the final quarter of the school year, okay?) and the campaign was winding down anyway because the senior DM had graduated by that time, so I suppose Logarius just wandered off after he found the Wheel (we called it the War Wheel. The group killed an Ancient Black Dragon and it had valuables. "So a dragon stole it?"). I used him in another friend's birthday campaign but I had to leave after six hours, so the DM ruled that Logarius died (NOT CANON, ALTERNATE UNIVERSE). I also remember flopping on what kind of accent he had, couldn't really nail down if he had a regular Dwarven accent or Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice.
So that was my first D&D (fifth edition) character. My second was totally OC-doughnut steel (or was it? ;)(even the class was homebrew)); a human Dragon Knight called Loreith Sachsman that was in self-imposed exile after the dragon-worshiping kingdom he served was destroyed by its EVHAL!! counterpart. The Draggond Kingdom had three Ancient Chromatic Dragons that it served and in turn, they protected the kingdom and acted as its generals/rulers: Sanguinevere the Gold, Vulkarn the Silver, and Imperius the Adamantium Clad (there are Adamantium Dragons, they're just of a much lower caste). The other kingdom had the same thing but it was EVIL. After that, the only survivors were Sang the Gold and my character, who was her personal servant/warrior. I used him for a different campaign at lunch-time, and I wasn't there for the final battle so Loreith just wandered off. The class is great, you can breath whatever your patron dragon breathes at level 20.
So yeah, pretty decent characters I'd say. I haven't retired them yet, since they're the only two I have. That's about it... Oh! I might make another post for my Warhammer 40,000 Deathwatch RPG characters. Of course it's a d100 %-system so I don't know if that would apply here.
