61. I didn't sell him my soul, he sold me his power (The title caused me to expect something different from what was there... and so here's the idea.)
You didn't sell your soul... something powerful sold you there power. They decided they were tired of the hassles that came with power... at least for the time being... and decided to take an extended vacation... So here you are with their power. Trouble is... now here you are with all their problems too!
And what happens when they decide they want their power back...

62. The Cowardly Warlord
A man who got into military service and hoped to get stationed at a backwater base finds himself in the midst of a desperate battle. Trying his best to escape, he cuts down a heroic figure by accident and turns the tide of battle. He is praised as a hero and gets put into more and more suicide missions. He tries his best to hide his self-serving nature, and must simply go along with his fame, as he is too cowardly to reveal the truth of his deeds. He is paranoid, always making mental notes of the best escape routes and places to use for cover, and he makes for them at the first sign of trouble.

Dwarf Clan Slayer A dwarf that goes around killing most other dwarves because he happens to know for certain that they are not in fact dwarves. They are beings from another plane that have stolen the bodies of dwarves and possesed them. Their ulimate goal is domination of the entire dwarf race.
How does he tell them apart from real dwarves? The evil body-snatchers speak in a scottish accent. No real dwarf speaks like that. He, of course, speaks with a german, or korean, or australian accent . . . or anything other than the overused, lame, and terribly cliche scottish accent!

Kind of reminds me of Ciaphas Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!!!:D
64. The Friendly, Down-To-Earth Eladrin
This young eladrin never understood what made her race so damn superior to the others. They're just as capable of doing things as she is. She eventually left the Feywild, both because she thought it was superficial and her peers were snobs, and settled on the Material Plane, taking an "undignified" profession, like a rogue. She is much less reserved than the average eladrin, delighting in a hedonistic lifestyle and being openly gregarious and friendly to everyone, regardless of race. Because of her lifestyle she's a lot chubbier than most eladrin, since she loves to eat big meals with lots of alcohol.

65. The Girl and her Gorilla
Halfling Beastmaster|Rogue
As a younger halfling girl who's petite and plucky even for a Halfling, you get a lot a guff and people seem to think they can push you around, well those people must not have noticed the 400 pound gorilla in the room. His name is Patches and he's your best buddy, when you get in trouble for shooting off that sling shot he's there back you up.
You could also make it a hyperactive boy Gnome Shaman with an imaginary tiger buddy for a more Calvin & Hobbes feel

66. Spellcasting Assassin Princess
Raised in the royal house of a well-hidden kingdom, she was the sole surviving heiress of another (nearby) kingdom that was brought to ruin by a surprise attack by demons and their ilk. Having a rebellious streak, she never even remotely liked the life of a princess, and so to the surprise and disapproval of her adopted parents, she underwent training in the military. Her exceptional abilities in basic spellcasting and quick reflexes in swordplay -- in addition to her royal blood -- readily attracted the attention of various circles, who insisted in taking her in and training her to the best they know.
She finally chose to be trained by an eldarin assassin, who constantly warned her that magick tends to leave traces detectable by spellcasters, wards, alarms and traps, so she should only use her spells in the most dire of situations.
She moves so fast, it's rumored that she was also trained in the art of swordmagic...

67 Lorekeeper: Warforged Bard | Warlord
Not sure how cliche this concept is at this point, but it is something that I haven't seen yet. This Warforged has some strange compulsion to document ALL of history. As someone with seemingly all the time in the world, why not? Having documented as much of previous history as possible, he has taken to recording history as it happens, and has set out with an adventuring company to get history from the horses' mouths. His abilities are applications of historic strategy or voice modules of historic speeches.
Some interesting quirks to work with is whenever someone is speaking around him, there is the mechanical taps of an internal stenographer. More than a bit unnerving.

68. The Surface Hunter
Drow Avenger|Ranger of Torog
What is done in the Underdark stays in the Underdark; denizens that forsake the Underworld and "escape" to the surface are betrayers of Torog, they betray the traditions of the deep and must be hunted down and dragged back down to the bleakness that spawned them.
69. The Pretender yeah I know, too much Dollhouse. (or too much The Pretender)
Doppelganger Bard
Yesterday you were a dwarven warpriest named Valrim Jarlode, you were proud and a good friend, but today when people ask about Valrim you say "who?" because today your a Human archer named Felix, your not much of a talker because you're an ex-slave, after a few days you might become be a Wizard or a Knight its not really something you think about. But why do you always pretend to be someone you're not; what happened to the real you that made you want to be someone else, has anyone ever seen your face or heard your true name, do you even know that you're not who you say you are?
70. The Stonecarver
Goliath Artificer
When you were a boy others called you a coward and a dreamer, you didn't do what other boys did, you would sit out in the grassy fields and carve pictures of birds on trees. One day when you were older your father gave you a chissle and a odd looking stone hoping to get you do something useful, you carved it into bear, your father asked for a knife, but niether of got what you expected; the little bear statue rose up onto it back legs and growled at the two of you. Since then you have learned many ways to "bring out the life" within water, wood, stone and other things

I really like the idea of an oddly sized character. I'm imagining a vertically challenged (6'6" or so) Goliath Rageblood Barbarian with a Napoleon complex and a short temper. Could be fun.
How about a 4'10" halfling rogue named Ripper who's buffed out like a pro wrestler and acts more like a drunken dwarf? :D
Back in the old days, Ripper had gauntlets of ogre power - he once dropped his shortswords while fighting an ogre and began breaking it's kneecaps with his bare hands, then when it fell over he stood on it's chest and punched it in the head til it died...
Spoiler:

I am the Skull God.

There are reasons they call me Mad...
