One I've had on the backgurner for a bit: a Kenku pirate who is based off a Parrot instead of a Raven. Mimicry naturally still works; albeit with the speech impediment of often repeating phrases twice.
Reminds me of the Spellsinger series of fantasy novels. The third book featured pirate parrot antagonist, while the sixth had his brother, who was a pirate parrot accountant.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
I have three ideas that I'm working on developing currently. All are based on ideas I read, but I'm working on making them reality (so to speak):
Magrabuffian: A musclehead cleric with barely enough Wisdom and high Strength and Con. Using 2024 rules, has Tavern Brawler and prefers to punch enemies instead. Almost all his spells are heal (which he uses on himself) or buffing spells. Loves to use Guidance - but always uses it to give you a 1d4 bonus on Athletics rolls, no matter what you're trying to do. "If you've got muscles, you don't need anything else!"
Jeff Kozinski: A teen who thought he was human until he turned 16,. Lives with his mom, since his dad abandoned the woman before Jeff was born. Dad shows up at 16th birthday - and is Mephistopheles. Transforms Jeff into his true form (Tiefling), and the poor kid is stuck as a Warlock with his dad as a patron. Doesn't even have a choice about Invocations or Spells. His dad chooses them all. The big M keeps butting in during the adventures, too, his dark and terrible voice chiming in to encourage or chide the lad, or give advice in the middle of battle, embarrassing Jeff considerably.
Greebezock: A powerful wizard who eventually became a demigod. However, at parties put on by Amauntor, he kept using the same bad joke at his host's expense, and got cursed. He's now stuck inside an amulet that's buried in a wooden mannequin. He can animate the mannequin (warforged, essentially), but is stuck as a combat class. I'm actually thinking he's stuck as a Paladin of Amauntor now, and to cast any of his cleric spells, he has to preface it with "By the grace and goodness of Amauntor..." which really sticks in Greebezock's craw.
