I wanted to play a Genasi that was the son of one of my other LFR characters. Problem: LFR happens in a single timeline. Solution: turn him into the timetravelling Syreel'eek (bonus points if you figure out the name), sent back from the future by his mother to prevent an apocalyptic disaster from happening. What this disaster is? Dunno yet, but it will probably have something to do with fulfilling his epic destiny.

Made one Warlord character named Hero(really, he had his name legally changed to Hero) who was incredibly inspired by heroes of stories and myth and wanted to become one himself. While he had a naturally talent for commanding battle, he was also incredibly egotistical, assumed he was the greatest thing on this planet, and would always try to take credit for what people in his command did(even if it was incredibly obvious he didn't do it). In fact, he was so irritable, his talent was literally the only reason he was still in the military and hadn't been kicked out, but they always sent him on away missions with small groups.
What made it even funnier is the one skill check we had(the game ended prematurely for many reasons) was passed by Hero alone. One player made a comment along the lines of "Wow, only Hero passed that? At this rate, we'll all trip on rocks as soon as a fight starts and Hero will kill them all in one turn."A minute later, we were sneaking into some place supposed to be infested with monsters from a local myth. One player bombed his stealth check and flavored it as him tripping on a rock before realizing the earlier comment someone made. Then when we did find the place was infested, we tried to sneak around, but Hero declared he hides from no fairy tale and charged the monsters. The rest of the party facepalmed and rolled with it.
I had a samurai-type guy named Hiro...

I played a scholar-profession fighter who was the scribe to the wizard. That was kind of fun.

Rodian Pacifist who would drain the charges from his collegues blasters, teamed up with a jawa engineer and ridar theif who would steal the parts to repair the ships' lasers every other landing.
Hiro Protagonist? Isn't that the main character in a cyberpunkish novel? Snow Crash?

The other night, I played "Captain Valentine" - a pirate captain loosely based off of the Pirate King from the Pirates of Penzance.
Captain Valentine is a pirate captain. However, he is not a very good one as him and the crew are a little on the tenderhearted side. He has a pirate code, which has two main rules:
1. Don't attack an enemy weaker than yourself - of course the practical implications are that they do not attack weaker enemies, and whenever they attack stronger enemies they get thrashed.
2. Never molest an orphan. Valentine and his crew are all orphans themselves, so they know what it is like and feel sorry for orphans. Unfortunately, this aspect of the code has become common knowledge among seafarers in this neck of the sea, and on the rare occasion when the pirates achieve victory, their victims claim to be orphans and the pirates leave them be.
Captain Valentine is an accomplished singer and dancer, and singer, and it is a poorly kept secret that he enjoys trying on women's clothing below decks.
Anyways, the DM asked me to introduce my character, and my response was to start singing "Oh, better far to live and die..."
For the rest of the night, most of Captain Valentine's dialogue was showtunes. There were excerpts from:
"With Cat-like tread" - Pirates of Penzance
"A British Tar" - Pinafore
"Dr. Zaius" - the Simpsons musical planet of the apes

Dwarven Bard called Desmond Mcblayard (Nicknamed Desmond Mcb**tard) who was the guitarist for the legendry band Iron Moradin, which started out as a religious rock group dedicated to Moradin but over time grew into pure rock and roll with smatterings of heavy metal. Desmond was incredibly rowdy and liked a drink, often causing a lot of destruction at the venues they played, until this esclated to the point of him being kicked from the band. He stated he would create a band A billion times more Rock N Roll then Iron Moradin, but set out on a solo career in the meantime. Unfortuneately, he was a terrible singer and was boo'ed off at many gigs, often causing a barfight in the proce
It was at one of these barfights he meet the party the other players characters were in. He liked the party and they got along very well, so he joined them believing he could slowly teach them how to learn instruments and sing, therefore completing his band lineup.
He took the Archspell epic destiny, but we re-flavoured it into Arch-Riff, as Desmond was working on The One Riff that would go down in history as being the single best sound a guitar could make. with the permission of the DM, I created my own spell for this: Dragonforge.
During one of the final sessions, we faced off against a villian who had summoned a meteor to destroy the planet. (Original, I know) We defeated the villian but had no way to stop the metoer. Save for Desmond, who took up his guitar and played DragonForge. I rolled a natural 20 at this point, which to this day is probably the single greatest roll I've ever made.
The spell caused all the magma inside the planet to blast upwards from a hole in front of the party, the hole being about 30 feet in both width and length. All the magma was blasted into the sky at an insane pressure, just as the metoer entered the atmosphere. The magma and metoer collided in the sky, causing the metoer to be destroyed in a truly spectacular explosion.
God, I loved that campaign. :')

I have an idea for a Catfolk Rogue, DnD 3.5, and I’m wondering if it qualifies as “funny,” or should I talk about it somewhere else? I’m thinking that he tends to do things for people instead of letting them do it themselves. He doesn’t understand the human notion that “if you do things for other people, then they will keep expecting you to do it for them,” rather he was raised “If you let something go undone just because somebody else was also being lazy, you teach them that it wasn’t important in the first place.” [[I read that when cats leave dead animals for their owners, they aren't being submissive and/or generous “you’re in charge, so I have to do this for you,” they’re condescending to their owners that they’ve noticed your hunting skills are obviously lacking if you’re not doing it first, so they give you food to show off since you're clearly too incompetent to catch it yourself. To put that in terms of sentient races, “Pride” is a more popular deadly sin for them than either “Greed” or “Sloth,” whereas humans are more split more evenly]] I’m also thinking that his preferred way of mocking people involves using impressions as part of whatever else he is saying. [[I read that cats mewling sweetly is based on them pretending to be human babies in order to make their owners pay attention, whereas hissing and folding their ears back is them being threatening by pretending to be snakes.]] While he’s not racist against humans per se, I’m thinking that one of his favorite ways of harassing specific humans (especially those who blame "evil" orc raiders for the existence of half-orcs) is by pointing out that the vast majority of half-elves in the world are half-human instead of half-orc, most half-ogres are half-human rather than orc or elf, most half-giants are half-human instead of orc, elf, or ogre, most half-dragons (at which point the other person would likely attack him before he could finish. I imagine he gets kicked out of pubs a lot)... He is also terrified of penguins after a childhood (kitten-hood?) incident involving a Fireball spell.

Spoiler:

However, if some people are heavily benefiting from the inclusion of alignment, then it would behoove those that AREN'T to listen up and pay attention to how those benefits are being created and enjoyed, no? -YagamiFire
But equally important would be for those who do enjoy those benefits to entertain the possibility that other people do not value those benefits equally or, possibly, do not see them as benefits in the first place. -wrecan
That makes sense. However, it is not fair to continually attack those that benefit for being, somehow, deviant for deriving enjoyment from something that you cannot. Instead, alignment is continually attacked...it is demonized...and those that use it are lumped in with it.
I think there is more merit in a situation where someone says "This doesn't work! It's broken!" and the reply is "Actually it works fine for me. Have you considered your approach might be causing it?" than a situation where someone says "I use this system and the way I use it works really well!" and the back and forth is "No! It is a broken bad system!" because the former posits that improvement could be made...the latter only undermines the enjoyment of the person who is using alignment. -YagamiFire

Beldak, I don't think that's particularly funny, but it certainly could be a lot of fun. As for cats, I'm convinced our cat was trying to teach us to hunt by bringing us dead animals to practice basic skills on. We were NOT getting the message. So he brought in a not-dead bird. And let it go. In the house. We caught it - SUCCESS! - THEY ARE FINALLY LEARNING - and "played with it" a bit (checking for injuries)... ...then he got to watch in absolute disgust as we took it outside and set it free. That was the end of our feline hunting lessons.
"The world does not work the way you have been taught it does. We are not real as such; we exist within The Story. Unfortunately for you, you have inherited a condition from your mother known as Primary Protagonist Syndrome, which means The Story is interested in you. It will find you, and if you are not ready for the narrative strands it will throw at you..." - from Footloose

The two funniest characters I've seen were both halflings.
The first was a halfling barbarian who had Strongarm Bracers (weild weapons one size larger than you) and a Scabbard of Holding (just as a bag of holding but limited just to bladed weapons). So, just by his outward appearance, it looked like his only weapon was a dagger, but out of the scabbard, he would pull a two-handed bastard sword.
The other was a halfling rogue that was played like a kender from Dragonlance. He was constantly stealing from oter party members for "practice." However, due to his low Intelligence score, he would never put the stuff back in the right place, or to the right players

Currently I play a Human Bard called Piere the Embraced in a Forgotten Realms campaign. (3.5)
After being stranded in the Desert Piere had a deeply spiritual experience that rendered him into a total fruit cake forever. He had a vision of a godess froma plane not of his own who's beauty cooked his brain. He now strives to be her knight, completely devoted to her in every shape and form smiting any (to the best of his ability) who doubt his love and her divine existence. To compensate for his lack of money for arms and armour Piere resorted to wearing a cuirass constucted from pots and pans. While his attire provides little protection it does however add to the extravagence of his ocarina perfromances.
Piere's future is uncertain because the campaign is so young but hopefully he will be united with his love across the stars....
