Weirdest I've imagined (while still wanting to play) was Momma Blitzer. Longtooth shifter* Sentinel|Ranger w/ Pack Outcast theme. Wolf Companion, Hybrid Talent Beast Mastery Wolf Pet, MC Shaman with a spirit wolf companion. She was exiled for loving an actual wolf too much, and cares more for her pups than for other people. But, among those who treat her and her kind as equals, she is a loyal friend and protector. *
*With the arrival of the Hengeyokai, I might change the race to match*
Weirdest I've actually played, was Kieper. Shardmind Star-pact Hexblade w/ spellscar. He was once a warlock with an ambition to force his way into immortality, but he was annihilated by his attempt. His soul was encased in crystal and cast adrift in the astral sea. Following the Spellplague, he was dragged back to Toril as a creature of living crystal. Driven by the singular purpose of acquiring the power to restore himself to true life and immortality, he will cut down any who cross his path. He was a treacherous but logically minded warrior, and teamed up with a vicious Tiefling body guard to stalk their way into every temple and place of power they could find. I voiced him as David Warner with a nasty attitude.

I wouldn't call them wierd, so much as quirky, but here goes...
In 2nd edition, I had a Halfling Fighter named Spaz'nin XII. He had a fuse shorter than him, and any mention of his size resulted in throwing daggers being tossed.
3.5 saw Moshi, an uber-chauvanistic Fox Hengeyokai Dread Necromancer...who'd been cursed with a Girdle of Femininity.
My newest character is Jett, a Firesoul Genasi Swordmage. Whereas the baseline for Firesoul personalities is a roaring bonfire, Jett is a lazy fireplace by a comfy chair. He loves the nice things in life, only bothering to step out for adventures when he runs out of gold for wine, food and nice inns.

I have a friend in a 3.5 campaign that plays a kinder rogue driven by curiousity. When we are not paying attention, he will get curious enough as to go through our packs. He will end up finding something that he likes, and without realizing he is stealing it, he will take it. For instance, last game he went through my friend's pack, found a headband, said, "Thank goodness, this headband will get my hair out of my face while I am looking in this pack!" And wore it around the rest of the game and looked like a deer in headlights when he was accused of taking it. To beat all, when he is finished looking at our things, he will expertly organize our packs. Very fun character to break the tension in a tough campaign!

I'd have to go with my Crazy Cat Lady. I'd love to get a good chance to play her.
In the original version, prior to the nerfing of the Windrise Ports background (which I thought was unjustified... but just barely so), she was a Human (for the extra at-will power and feat) Swarm Druid|Beastmaster Ranger hybrid multiclassed to Shaman for the spirit companion and to something Arcane for a familiar.
Her Beast Companion is a cougar named Sharpness, her Spirit Companion is (she thinks - whether it's true or not is irrelevant) a cat named Mr. Muggles who was her first cat when she was a child and teenager, her familiar is named Lusifee which was the name of cat who took over after Mr. Muggles died, her Wild Shape form is a swarm of housecats, she has a few Druid summon powers which are refluffed as necessary to bring cats, and the 15th-level Druid power Infesting Strike gets refluffed as Dire Fleas.
Infesting Strike Dire FleasDaily Beast Form, Implement, PrimalStandard Action Close burst 1 Target: Each enemy in the burst Attack: Wisdom vs. Fortitude Hit: 2d6 + Wisdom modifier damage. Your swarm infects fleas infest the target (save ends). Enemies that begin their turn infected infested, or that are adjacent to an infected infested enemy, take 5 damage. Adjacent enemies become infected infested upon taking damage (save ends). Aftereffect: The target and enemies adjacent to the target are slowed (save ends). Miss: Half damage, and the target is slowed until the end of your next turn.
I also decided that her Wild Shape form, um, sort of leaks. (For those who've played Changeling in the World of Darkness, think 'slipped seeming'.) When not in Wild Shape, she constantly has a housecat touching her that is of no mechanical significance whatsoever, and doesn't look in any way strange. The age, color, and exact location of this cat are completely mutable and tend to change frequently. Naturally, she now gets the Animal Master theme. And another cat. I think the character would probably be a melee controller kind of like a normal beastform-dominant Druid... but I'm not at all confident of that.
Nice! You could also go Fey Beast Tamer with the Fey Panther, and name it The Magical Mr. Mistofelees!

Best musical, ever.
More sex and gender equality and racial equality shouldn't even be an argument--it should simply be an assumption for any RPG that wants to stay relevant in the 21st century.
I could say anything in D&D is silly though, because it's a silly game and we are silly people.

My own strangest character, though, would probably be my Shadar-kai gloompact hexblade, whose pact is with himself, after he sacrificed himself to himself. Basically, he warped the pactbinding ritual and used it to create the cosmic momentum needed to send himself into apotheosis. I reflavour his flail as a rune carved spear, and each time he kills an enemy, a small bit of their life energy flows into his spear, funneling to his future god-self.
Oddly enough, I'm now playing another gloomblade, this time a revenant halfling whose pact is with Drasek Riven, and who is trying to help Drasek Riven bring about the return of Mask.
My buddy and fellow DM is currently building a gnoll artificer for an Eberron campaign, which is pretty odd in itself. Up there with his Kobold Paladin of Bahamut. For that Eberron campaign, I'm thinking about a Gnome Monk who lived for years as a pit fighter in one of the monster race nations/areas, but I might instead play a shadar-kai monk when the halfling gloom-blade campaign ends, probably in a few months.

Let's see.... These are from both me and friends of mine.
A Gnoll Battlemind
A Dwarf scared of going underground
A Tiefling scared of fire
A Changeling as an Eladrin that doesn't know she's a changeling.
A Wizard in Plate Armor (mine)
A Beastmaster Ranger multiclassed into Druid w/ Animal Master Theme. Had a dog (theme), wolf (ranger) and turned into a wolf (druid). Not so much wierd as... quarky.
An elf who was adamant that she was an Eladrin
A Gnome Barbarian
A tiefling Infernal Pact Hexblade who took all of the most demonic features and powers he could and is sworn to destroy and eliminate demons whenever he could. (mine)
An atheist Paladin (believed in arcane forces, not divene ones.)
A necromancer multiclassed into Cleric and worshipping Kelemvor.
Have you ever wanted to play a character out of the norm? A character... reviled by society, something that offers you a unique role-playing challenge? Have you ever wanted to play something more hated and innately evil then Drow? Have you ever wanted to be a... Mind Flayer?Page 8 has the current complete version.
