Let's see, for a while, we had:
–A blue thing that was the result of a wizard's experiments in combining dragons with elves in an attempt to build a better sorcerer (from whom to steal spell secrets). Often had butterfly wings with changing colors.
-A tree in heavy armor who never talked but only sang (that is, only spoke Buommi).
-A warforged who was a blatant ripoff of Inspector Gadget.
-A Deep Imaskar (dunno why) who rode around in an intelligent sandstorm named Dusty.
-This ridiculous half-fey thing (ALSO with butterfly wings) who existed basically solely to have more charisma than the sorcerer (and yet failed to do anything with it).
The group's actually gotten a lot more traditional as characters have swapped in and out, to a certain extent (I'm still playing a dwarf whose backstory combines Boatmurdered and "The Chrysanthemum Vow" from the Edo-period collection of ghost stories Tales of Moonlight and Rain, but hey, I just said more traditional).
