I'm actually drafting some characters on my troper page that I'd like to use the next chance I get to roleplay (Yes, I'm very much The Roleplayer, how could you tell?). The links that TV Tropes provides to the different trope pages are very useful for getting my thoughts together. The only game I've ever played is Exalted, but the characters I've sketched out are basically designed for Wo D. I will save everyone the headache of scribbling the stuff down here (and a lot is still left out), but if anyone else does that sort of thing, I'd like to see.
I'd love to RP a Megaman/Protoman-like character from the Protoverse.

Rarely active, try DA/Tumblr Avatar by pippanaffie.deviantart.comI'd like to play a samurai named Poryu Harata, just for the pun. (In Polish it sounds like, let's say, "roughs the other's yapper".) Preferably while being the only user of the language in the group, so I'd be amused not only when introducing my character, but also upon seeing the others trying to find out the source of my amusement.
Yet another Infernal Exalt:
Coronus Vorr, the Horned King. A Malfeas/Cecelyne would-be conquerer - basically a sort of green, south-dwelling Yurgen Kaneko - who bestows a fine crest of horns and a couple of other useful mutations on his most elite underlings with By Rage Recast + [[derp:Crowned With Fury]] Fealty-Acknowledging Audience.

I'd like to play a vampire-hunter for World of Darkness. He'd basically be a bishounen priest in the Inquisition, with insane amounts of True Faith, complete with a bishie sparkle of divine light. He goes around singing old Celtic and Appalachian hymns or quoting Bible passages.
Oddly enough, this is a serious concept. His name is Gaius Colbird.

A master of the Zarachidanpo-ryu fighting style?
(yes, another Polish pun, "I'ma clock ya in a moment")

"what the complete, unabridged, 4k ultra HD fuck with bonus features" - Mark Von LewisA Solar who has perfect recall of his First Age incarnation and kind of realizes what evil bastards the Solar were at the end. His anima is a giant golden monolith that's covered in changing writing, being a Twilight, when he casts spells it's covered in magic equations but sometimes he'll use it to berate any nostalgia anyone has for the First Age with a list of all the atrocities Solar committed that he can remember.
For the Dresden Files RPG I'd want to play a White court vampire who specializes in Summon Backup Dancers type combat/mind control. this is probably his theme song.
I'd like a minion to carry around his giant boombox.

"Coffee! Coffeecoffeecoffee! Coffee! Not as strong as Meth-amphetamine, but it lets you keep your teeth!"So, in one Pathfinder campaign, I am playing a half-orc Bard/Swashbuckler, who is the spokesman/face for the group. Actually, it should be worrying when NP Cs decide that the half-orc is the least threatening member of the party.
Another game is about to start up, this one an Eberron campaign set in Dargunn so, naturally, all of us are going to be one type of goblin or another. We already have a goblin cavilier who will be riding a jungle leopard. My character, who I am not quite done with, is a hobgoblin Artificer, definitely into middle age, and who walks with a cane that has a spear-point on a concealed catch. Think a somewhat younger, hobgoblin expy of Mad-Eye Moody, and you'll have my PC.
That’s the epitome of privilege right there, not considering armed nazis a threat to your life. - SilaswI have several Legend characters I want to play. The one I am working on right now is a spymaster sort of dude; Rogue/Tactician with lots of skill-based stuff. I can't figure if his offence track should be Assassin or Demo Man, though.

Mura: -flips the bird to veterinary science with one hand and Euclidean geometry with the other-Shadow the Hedgehog. I partially played as him with a Human Psychic Warrior. Fun character. XD
Quest 64 threadThanks to the Miles to Go Before I Sleep page, I now kind of want to play a character who's held together entirely by vengeance and willpower, who'll finally let himself die after the campaign finishes. (I've actually statted a character like this out in Zodiac, complete with a self-healing power called "Resolve".)
I'd like to play an illusionist at some point who can actually do his job. So far it's been a long series of parties who specialize in making everything go BOOM.
The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.Until then, I usually just settle for a doppelganger rogue of some sort, though even that makes many of my DMs nervous. Thanks to 4E, I managed to get through with an air element Gensai Wizard, which meant limited flight.
That snapped the campaign in half far harder than anything a changling could have done. Seriously, five square flight every five minutes is highly abusable, even when you don't mean to abuse it.
The emotions of others can seem like such well guarded mysteries, people 8egin to 8elieve that's how their own emotions should 8e treated.Well yeah, they're an exceptionally functional combo that allows for player cleverness and is applicable in a variety of situations. Depending on what edition you're playing and what build you go for, you're able to stealth it, fool people with a variety of disguises, have the intelligence to figure out things on the go, have the charisma to sneak out information, backstab people quietly while taking their place, AND MORE.
Changeling Rogue is THE politics player's Swiss army knife. In fact, the only thing I consider more useful than the Changeling Rogue without going into broken territory is the Changeling Artificer, where your level of utility just gets ridiculous.

Also, a superhero whose mutant-hating vigilante mentor sent him to infiltrate a superteam with a device to fake having powers...which doesn't actually work, so the lightning powers he uses are going to be the subject of some very awkward conversations at some point.
