The idea here is to take a common character concept based on whatever criteria you choose (race/class combos, class/deity combos, race/deity combos, role/class combos... whatever) and basically take it in a different direction.
A couple of example ideas to start the ball rolling:
1. A rogue that "gives things back". Being a follower of Erathis, this rogue seeks out crimes that are just about to happen or have just happened and sets to order the situation before anyone realizes the crime has been committed so to subvert chaos and keep the world peaceful and civilized. (Any lawful good would really do too.) The rogue steals stolen goods back and returns them to the rightful owner before said owner notices they are missing, finds out about planned murders and manipulates the target into not being at the expected place at the expected time... etc.
2. The atheist Cleric. This guy doesn't believe in any gods at all... especially the most popular local deity. Being that said deity has some kind of opposition amid the pantheon, the other gods chip in and lend power to the atheist cleric out of sheer humors as he goes about converting adherents away from the local big cheese.
3. The atheist Avenger. She goes about killing the adherents of more prominent gods, considering them crazy and harmful to society for inspiring belief in these non-existent entities.
This is the basic idea... lets see where it goes.

The Generous Rogue- Steals something but is a sucker for a sob story. "Please, my child is sick" and gives away everything, even that shiny bauble that took six weeks to plan the heist
An Orc walks into a bar. The Human and the Elf laugh at the hapless Orc. The dwarf walks under it scowling and doesn't laugh. He doesn't see the humor. It was all over his head

6. The savage elf.
This is the basic concept for my Elven ranger. It basicially turns the expectations associated with Elves and turns them on there heads. Rather than being peaceful and seren and pretty, she is dirty, dressed in skins and primitively woven materials. She is an outsider and eater of human meat with filed down teeth and a drink problem. Basically, just about as far as you can get in the opposite direction to legolas.

7: Hermione the Bugbear witch. Smart, bookish and with an undeveloped talent for eating people's faces.

The harmless avenger - Sworn never to kill anyone, he walks the land teaching people lessons with the flat end of his axe.

9. The Exterminator Ranger (or Druid) - a ranger who believes that natural and urban zones should have no overlap, so turns his talents to eliminating animals that don't 'belong' in the city: rats, stray dogs, hawks, etc. Once the city is cleared, he can patrol farmlands and settled woodlands to 'protect' those areas as well.

:rolleye2: Yes becuse only an organic being can have a soul... Its not like in Eberron they have two religious cults and one of the major dietys has taken in intrest in them, oh wait!
Anyways to post something constructive
10. Infernal shamen- the shamen's spirit companion is a devil or demon who is slowly corrupting him to a darker path
11. Dragonborn Rogue- Honor? thats for the dumb! you look after yourself first and formost
12. Evil Deva- Your soul is corrupt and evil, for some reason you dident come back as a rakasha when you died.

14.) A Barbarian who doesn't rages at all. Those so-called rages? They're just him being that awesome whenever a battle calls for it.
