There are two characters I've thought
up that I never got to play. One, because the group I was playing
with fell apart, and the second because it's a little goofy for most
games of D&D. Both of them were for D&D 4E.
The first character was a warforged
paladin of the Raven Queen. I loved the idea of an
essentially-immortal construct becoming a champion of the goddess of
death. He absolutely loathed undead, because they were even stranger
than the normal fleshbags he hung out with (AKA the rest of the
adventuring party), and because they upset the normal balance of
things. He figured that, as a warforged, he was the perfect weapon to
fight undead for his deity. He was essentially the opposite of
intelligent undead like vampires or liches: he would never die
naturally, he was a champion for the living, and he sent undead to
his goddess for judgment.
The second character, the goofier one,
was a warforged bard based on heavy metal music. His theme song was
Black Sabbath's “Iron Man,” and when he wasn't playing a badass
guitar solo, he was using that guitar as a battle axe (it was a
unique combo axe/guitar). Fun to think about, even more fun to make
playlists for, but it's a character that I think would only really
work for a one-shot game.
I'm amazed I was able to actually find an image of a warforged bard using a battle axe guitar. That's so awesome.
