So I was talking to a fellow DM and I asked him "are their any characters you want to run but probably won't have the time to do so? 

He told me he always wanted to play an eladrin swordmage that was just like Captian Hammer from DR. Horrible's sing along. Haughty, hubric, and all around douchebag, but loves being the hero. 

When He asked me and I responded with" I want to play an elven bladesinger based off of indigo montoya from the prince's bride. just some completely and shamelessly dead drunken warrior that you would politely ignore on a good day but come to love and is perhaps the world's (plane's) best swordsman, oh and he is looking for a man with a lesser or greater number of phallanges than normal who murdered a paternal figure in his life. 

I've heard of characters like an elven seeker katniss from the hunger games, Chuck norris monk, Hellboy tiefling blackgaurd, the dude from the big lebowski as a bard

What are some characters that you have always wanted to run? Weather they came from a movie, book or your own head. 

I love a good story, and so does the DM who is mentoring me right now, one day he told me about the idea of buiding an all arcane party (because they have the most classes available) to unite the party and give them common goals. And then we talked about maybe doing all one race. We read an article about an all dwarf party that kicked an ungoldy amount of ass at battle interactive because they all knew their weaknesses, strengths etc. (they slayed a god in twenty minutes) We felt that having all the players be of the same arcane order or all be one race could unify the party like no other. Maybe they could all be elvish (drow,eladrin,elf). 

if you ran a game or played in one where you wanted to do this, what would you choose? what race?
