      I always liked the idea of a powerful orc barbarian who was incredibly powerful, but their constant anger ended up giving them a heart attack. After recovering, they have to avoid getting angry or they could have another heart attack and now they're a monk who is always doing breathing exercises, drinking tea, and avoiding conflict, saying things like "I'm sensing a lot of negativity from you. Maybe we should calm down and talk about this over a cup of tea."

    Actually, an alcoholic Paladin sounds like an interesting character. He probably was a devoted follower of their god, but something happened in their past and now they escape their pain with a cup of ale. And maybe through character development the Paladin finally faces his demons (either figuratively or literally) and lets go of the bottle to once again walk in the light as a faithful Paladin... and face the BBEG.

      In a one shot I ran one of the premade was a Paladin who had spent all his life fighting the forces of evil, he'd seen so much dark twisted and fucked up shit, well it drove him to the drink. It makes a lot of sense really for a good hearted person who devotes their life to hunting down some of the most dark and twisted evils imaginable to carry a lot of baggage. Just think about what cops, and soldiers go thru, and suddenly you realize that you don't need to make a Paladin a frothing Zealot or a Sanctimonious prick to make them human. You just need to show the reality of what it would be like for a traditional Paladin with their noble soul to have seen the sorts of horrors that Paladins devote their lives to fighting against.

    0:03 Felix the Sculptor (sometimes despectively known as "the Illiterate), a man who was raised by an ancient wizard as part of a secret experiment on the limits of magic, which was deemed too unethical by other mages of the world. Instead of using a spellbook, he's made small sculptures of every spell he knows, which he seems to use to gather the information needed for spells; he posseses an ability to perceive and sculpt magic into a visual metaphor.
    0:22 Basically the Plague Doctor from the SCP Foundation; a person who believes they're on a quest to heal the sick and injured from the horrors of life, but is actually being deceived by their patron into committing sacrifices.
    0:26 Ylde Mallister, an Eladrin princess of spring who was born with a weak physique, and a terrible allergy to pollen. This was seen as a curse by her clan, and she was exiled out of it, stripped of her royal title and left to fend for herself in the nearest human kingdom; now, she seeks revenge on the Eladrin monarchy as a Druid of Wildfire
    1:16 Abyss Tidepool, a daring pirate who was betrayed by his crew and thrown off the boat. His genasi nature allowed him to survive in the bottom of the ocean, but for a long time he didn't have the strength to pull himself back up. After spending years on the ocean floor (I wanna say 100, just for the Dio reference...), He's rescued by a crew of fishermen, who happen to be around the area; taking over the ship, Abyss now scours the seas, looking for the crewmates that betrayed him, seeking to exact his revenge.
    1:25 Karrash Spinebreaker, an orc who was the mightiest defender of his hometown, but who saw his people and family fall to a foe far stronger than him: illness. A sickly infection massacred the town, and the only fact Karrash was able to comprehend was that the blood of those who were sick transmitted the disease. Thus, fearing that it may one day come to claim him, he cleans off all blood from his weapons, hoping this will keep it at bay.
    2:18 Karen, Edge of Duality, a human woman renowned in her quaint hometown by her wisdom and inner peace; in reality, her tranquility is but a facade, destined to hide the horrible truth that she once was a soldier for the crown, who found out the terrible things that were done to the war prisoners and went mad with the realization, becoming unstable and murdering friend and foe alike, until the kingdom's army was no more. She has calmed down and managed to become a healthier, more graceful person, but you better make your peace with your gods if you wish to push her off the edge...
    2:32 Turmeric Trufflebottom, a gnome who tried to enter every martial arts monastery in the country and was rejected by every single one due to his lack of commitment and strength. Basically Dan Hibiki from Street Fighter; he's managed to create an entire martial arts style based on the moves and techniques he's seen in passing, but he mostly relies on making the opponent hurt themselves more
    2:39 George, Scourge of War, a paladin who discovered a divine touch in their fighting style, but the blessing came also with the curse of constantly being aware of the lives and families he's snuffing out in every battle. He drinks to forget the pain and keeps telling himself that it's all for the right cause, but the alcohol does nothing to help but cloud his judgement further, leading to more reckless and bloodthirsty decisions to regret once sober. So then, why ever be sober? While drunk, the world is his oyster...
    3:15 Dahlia Escher, legendary crook who's rumored to have stolen life from Death itself. However, she once stole from a wrathful fey lord, who decided to punish her by taking away her ability to lie, through cunning trickery that left her in this state until she gives up her life of crime and willingly gives herself to the authorities. Dahlia has since taken it as a challenge, though, and still keeps on stealing to spite the fey lord and to further test her own ability

      I made mine a Local hero so that commoners trust him, but in secret he abuses his closest admirers or newly found friends to cope with near death experiences and to learn from them nearly dying, while also constantly hiding his identity that he is a tiefling by always being covered in clothes. So effectively I have made a sociopath to balance out the horny fighter arcane archer criminal mastermind, the slave goblin criminal player (not sexually, basically first mate but the development between the two is idk yet.) to said arcane archer, a really innocent Bard-barian with thunder thighs that is easily distracted by cute things, and a aakraarn arkarn the big bird people paladin who I don't even what is his character. In retrospect, it seems I made a really evil person to balance out the horny evil and oddly good people that are in this party.

    I was a guest in my best friends D&D party. My character (drow druid) was cursed into his duck form and the party had to save him. The evil king brought drinks out and we knew they were poisoned. I casted detect poison and knew it was a paralysis potion. Apparently, the barbarian was an alcoholic and even with the duck repeatedly shaking his head he downed the drinks. The cleric convinced the paladin to not drink it and the necromancer let his zombies drink the poisoned drink. It was hilarious.

They were also a cult leader but no one knew it was a cult except the DM and me. The DM even included the cult as a homebrew religion so I could claim my character is a priest without having anyone get suspicious. We went to great lengths to make the rest believe they are a cleric. Once the party found this artefact, he stole it and "died".
