One of my players is playing a Grung Sorcerer who is trying to find and slay a giant to prove his worth to his tribe. And despite having the poisonous skin of the Grung... he wants to hold hands with everyone.

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!"
that campaign has unfortunately been on hiatus for a while x.x Multiple player medical issues and scheduling conflicts. He is intended to fight the giant since giants are actually guarding one of the MacGuffins.

Had an agreement with my DM to not reveal to the group that they were changeling; instead, we introduced the character as a half-elf named Tricky Nym Suda.
Certain things tipped off that the character was not what they seemed...no darkvision, for one.
They didn't seem to consistently say where they were from...backstory kept changing.
Their name was even fake... Tricky Nym Suda was just a "tricky pseudonym" (fake name).
By the time this changeling changed into a dwarf (this one Yuri Goodforge...or "good forgery"), everyone was stunned to learn they'd been travelling with a changeling.
Nice idea. Secret backgrounds always add depth to a story. I always encourage my players to come up with secret bits of backstory.
Yeah, Bards win it for me too. My favourite character I've ever played was a Gnome bard, Sniffy, who was seemingly Lawful good and quite naïve. But unbeknownst to everyone, even the DM, he was actually Chaotic Neutral - the 'good' thing was a disguise, of sorts, to catch people off guard. It became apparent that he wasn't all he seemed to be when he started doing things that definitely weren't lawful.....such as conning an old shopkeeper out of his Stone of Wind Elementals (to be fair, he also had the help of a Tiefling Sorcerer. We got the man really scared that the elemental inside the stone wanted vengeance on him, and that we would take it as far from the shop as we could, for his own protection....hehehe. Mage Hand + Gust + Expertise in Deception + Peerless Skill went a long way....). Never played a Changeling before though. Want to.
Btw, I like the name. Tricky Gym Suda....clever.

Hi there! I'm a Christian musician based in Canada :)
I really like my kenku warlock... "Click click click click click" (everyone just calls him "clicks). He's a great old one warlock, so that I can use the psychic communication to compensate for when I have something important to say but can't figure out how to do it with the kenku speech limitation. However, since he doesn't have an internal voice of his own, the voice people hear is that of his patron... So even mundane stuff he says sounds booming and sinister. Still, I find it more fun to play with the limitations of being a kenku rather than just rely on the awakened mind feature.
Early on in his adventures he was lucky enough to receive a broom of flying, which has become his most prized possession... To the point that he bought a climbing kit just for the harness, so he can be strapped to it at all times. He even sleeps just perched on it all night long.
The main downside I have with him is that I created him for adventure league, and that doesn't always give me good opportunities for role-playing. But he's also such a gimmicky character that he would be hard to use in a long campaign... I'd like to bring him out for a few one shots or something with friends in the future.
I guess my most endearing character is one that I made with the help of some people here on the forums. Era Greyvale.
She's a young human woman who was raised in a village in the middle of nowhere. Her father's a shepherd and her mother's a weaver. She grows up bored of village life but is really kind and incredibly naive. She starts to fall in love with an adventurer who moves in to town to deal with a Kobold problem - and it culminates in the two of them fighting a load of Kobolds and a red dragon. It's then when Era finds out her crush is a silver dragon - and also when that dragon vanishes because she had to reveal herself.
Era's a Ranger with a crossbow because she's little more than an average commoner to begin with and she's not that skilled. She's kind to a fault - putting everyone else above herself - and she trusts everyone implicitly. The main thing about her though is her Favoured Enemy: Dragons. Not because she wants to kill them - but because she desperately wants to find her crush again and tell her how she feels. She's just such a feel-good character.
I'm sure many people have played similar characters before though - so nothing new.
That is where, I think you'll find, you are wrong. A crush on a Dragon? A ranger who uses her Favoured Enemy just to track down her lost crush? I think that's pretty damn unique!
I really love the idea.

Hi there! I'm a Christian musician based in Canada :)
I love playing Orkira on Beyond Heroes! And since I'm still playing her I won't dive into my Dragonborn cleric in this post. Because I talk about her enough. :D
Roc, my Aarakcora Rogue, certainly was fun, endearing and ridiculous! Thanks to point buy she had max wisdom but a 6 charisma, and as an Inquisitor rogue she eventually could see EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. It turned into gaining the trust of the people around her, who saw her as strange and awkward so they didn't believe what she said. She also could see when people were lying, or at least hiding things, and would just blurt things out at the most inappropriate times.
In 4e I played a Hengeyokai ranger who I loved playing because he was just a big, dumb, loveable puppy. Hengeyokai was a race that could shapeshift into one specific animal, and Karian could switch between a human and dog form. As a canine he was a large mutt, shaggy grey fur, a mix of a few athletic breeds. But his personality was all golden retriever, both loveable and friendly but also vicious and kinda dumb. He was unquestionably loyal, and had some amazing min/maxed stats that allowed him to do a massive amount of damage with his longbow when his friends would point to something that needed to die. Depending on the situation it was either endearing or kinda creepy, and he was great fun to play!
My most nostalgic would be Bobob SyxtieNein. A chaotic evil human wizard. He was just fun to goof around with, and it was the first campaign, so we messed around a lot more, not knowing what to do. Also, his backstory was just that he tripped over a magic stick, and became a wizard.
My character that I'd have to say is my favorite is Crabperticus. He was a crab, just living, until Cthulhu decided to have some fun by seeing what would happen if he gave some of his elder god knowledge to an animal on earth. So he was a GOOlock, and true neutral. He had the same intelligence and stats as a crab until he got a few ASIs, but could talk through telepathy, and was great because he always spoke in toneless yelling, even near sleeping monsters. It spooked people when he did that, but it was telepathy so it didn't matter. Everyone loves the way he talks.
Of all the ones I have played, I think Oberon would be my choice. A Dragonborn Paladin who obtained Godhood (Godbound campaign). Highlights was fighting an Ancient Ent Godbound bare handed and winning due to him having word of nature and being immune to it's branch attacks (he challenged it to a no-weapon duel) Seeing a mob attacking a church after the death of the old gods, and charging in to interfere, his word of sun changing him into what equates to a solar angel. And THEN rolling a Nat. 20 to make them disperse. Inventing the glider some 500 years before it should have been. and EVERY time he used Sunstrike, the tactical laser from God. Even several miles underground in a dwarven cave. :P

Meerageh = mirage (tabaxi)
Rhaego Salt = his alter ego (dragonborn)
oh,l love this. do you mind lf i use this for my changeling?
l have not actually used this character yet,but she is a Aereni High Elf wizard obsessed with learning.she sets out on her adventure because she learned all she could in her home town (read every book,talked to everyone,ect and learned a few languages in as a result. ie common(duh) Draconic, Druidic, Dwarvish, Elvish(duh) infernal and Orc from the people of the town) my plan for her is to learn about the ritual to become a half dragon and (with the help/ok of the dm) become a half dragon (likely homebrewd to have modified dragonborn stats with wings and a tail,with the wings haveing the stats from the dragon blood sorcerer lv 14 ability ) and learn the clone spell,with those two things she would be almost immortal and thus able to keep learning for a very long time.
Also maybe if the dm allows it,and the campaign runs long enough,l could plead to the magic goddess to lift her ban on lv10-11 magic (l would be clear that l am fine with 12th lv magic staying banned,cause thats what caused the ban in the first place and it would be in everyones best interests if that level stayed banned,but explaining how lv 10/11 should be unbanned.) or maybe as a epilogue l could become the magic goddess and unban 10/11 tier magic.
edit: l put drudic as a language b4 l found out that only druids are taught it,and they dont teach non druids,and my character is not,nor will she be,a druid,so ether l will have to remove it,of come up with a way to have her know it (maybe a drunk/former druid taught me or something)

Hey all. I was just curious: what are the most fun, crazy, or endearing characters you have ever had the pleasure to play?
Hi there! I'm a Christian musician based in Canada :)
