Regardless of all this she is an introvert who is very humble about her skills, sexuality, and demon blood. In fact she hides her daemon side whenever possible. She rejects the training that was forced on her and she merely wants to be a traveling baker selling delicious and exoctic breads and pastries from her homeland.

An assassin who murders for the sheer thrill of it and can melt into shadows at any time.

Her mother, an influential noble, entered into a contract with said daemon to manipulate circumstances so she ended up as queen of her own small country. The princess's daemonic ancestry is a closely guarded secret. Like most ladies of noble standing, she has been trained in fencing, riding, and archery, with a few extra classes in sorcery and subterfuge from her mother. After all, "playing fair" never got anyone anything. Like most people, her brain is entirely functional, except for a few parts she lost after almost drowning when she was 12. She is a master of manipulation, and can successfully seduce almost anyone.

Due to escallation of force, he cannot enjoy killing anything that isn't a challenge, and so hunts down the strongest enemies possible. Given the fantasy world we inhabit here, this obviously means he is constantly sought out by Adventurers for intel, and more often than not plays the role of scout for powerful adventurers, who, while they could be fun kills, are more useful getting him closer to a more thrilling mark, like an Evil Wizard or a Giant Warlord.

A brooding cloaked man that always sits in the corner and uses a sword that is also a bow that is also a Demon.

Unrelated, but I think it'd be fun to have a character like this as a minor villain. A character who meets the PCs, is friendly towards them, maybe even fights by their side once or twice, but when things get serious, he has to fight them because he honestly believes the BBEG is right.

The brooding man is actually a bard who played such a character in an epic play, but was thumped on the head and now believes he is that character. Some people recognize the character from the play and assume he's some kind of wandering method actor.

He picked up the bow-sword-demon in a dungeon and now it's cursed to always be with him, audibly whispering dark things at everybody nearby.

He's incredibly embarrassed by it and sits in the corner to try and not look like a weirdo.

He's been cursed to forever feel slightly too cold, and the demon's infernal fires are the only thing that can keep him warm. Unfortunately, he can't get too close to other people, due to the demon's irritating habit of leaping out of his hands and attacking strangers.

The man is actually a late teen, and the reason he sits alone in the corner is because of his heritage and special training, he has no social skills. In contrast, the incredibly old demon brings mad bantz to the party, and in an attempt to not make himself look like a fool since to the people around them, it looks like he is the one speaking, he sits alone in the corner.

Not only was he raised by a pack of wild military jet planes, he there learned of a fabled magic called "Rock" which he has to infiltrate the local high school to learn. The campaign is about his friends slowly discovering he's actually a transformer magical boy who beats eldritch abominations that play mozart and spawn in the martian planet-core through playing Metal while divebombing them at mach 1 so as to hit them with the mother of all solos in an instant.

>A Paladin that casts detect evil every time he crosses a threshold
>>
>>50035812
He is, in fact, a psionic body snatching organism who has come from the stars to learn about the culture of this world. He uses his race's mastery of alchemy to his advantage. Despite his theft of the body of an average-looking gnome, his mind is completely alien, and his culture has little to no concept of morality. Endgame is him completing the Generic Fantasy Planet entry in the Psionic Ghost's Guide to the Galaxy, and giving the gnome his body back.
>>

>A Paladin that casts detect evil every time he crosses a threshold
One time he was nearly beat to death by a group of bandits who had decided to hold-up an inn. The casting of detect evil at every threshold is what helps him continue moving forward and if it doesn't work, for whatever reason, he breaks out into a cold sweat starts to have flashbacks and becomes almost brutal to all who oppose him.

He's a werewolf alchemist from a high-ranking clan of werewolves. The sense of smell is due to his bloodline, but he's a spoiled brat that's too used to high living. The people dying is because he has servants that can make problems disappear, but people know that people who tend to treat him badly have a habit of getting into brutal accidents and so most people are just scared of him. The potion works but makes the person in question look sickly and obviously fucked up, so everyone is immediately going to notice that something is wrong with the person being charmed. It also doesn't last forever and repeated administrations will eventually kill the target from poison buildup.

Basically an insufferable mobster brat who thinks too highly of himself and keeps abusing his position and power without having any actual merits of his own. Everyone treats him well out of fear and he is actually pretty dumb and ugly but nobody dares to say anything about it. He also has some really powerful enemies because of who he is and a lot of peiple want him dead.

The potion isn't even his own invention. The clan normally uses it for interrogations and other kess glamorous stuff. He's just misusing the recipe for personal amusement.

The thrifty old-timer was once a master thief, but now that his body has slowed down and his eye-sight starts to fail him he has to rely on his frail appearance to lull his victims into a false sense of security. After all, when one collides with an old man as they turn the corner who would stop to think the rhythmic pats on their person are anything more than clouded eyes trying to make sense of what's in front of them?

While the lecherous rogue collects wallets as he pleases and gropes women less than half his age, he also has his own firm sense of "justice". Even criminals should be respectful to their fellow man, and has no regrets cutting down ruffians in his path with his trusty cane sword.

Sometimes he thinks back to the love he left behind years ago. Sometimes he wonder if he could have started a family, had he kept his hands to himself. Sometimes he wishes his legs would carry him faster so he didn't have so much damn time to think.

Her father was originally working for the military on classified alien tech found to both preserve life and enhance growth, almost to a point of "practical evolution". With his years of medical practice and biological knowledge, he spearheaded a team that would attempt to extend the human lifespan to at least double, perhaps even indefinitely assuming the extra time they may give themselves. However the project came grinding to a halt after he found out his only daughter was diagnosed with incurable cancer. This demon had already taken his wife, the thought of it consuming his family whole drove him mad. In a flurry he fired every single person under him, and before the higher-ups had time to pull him up on his recklessness his new project was already complete: he had disassembled the original tech, rewired it to the human anatomy and used it to give his daughter a second chance at life. Though he felt remorse for setting science back so far, his greatest regret was leaving his daughter behind to keep the government off her back.

Not only was her life saved, she became frighteningly able to adapt. Anticipating that the military would come looking for her, she formed a new identity and joined the army in the hopes that she could hide under the enemy's shadow and gain enough influence among their ranks before they had a solid lead to her. She uses the capabilities of her implants to make her an asset wherever she is, and carefully analyses those around her so that she may build up a web of contacts. Despite her augmented advantages she is still a teenage girl however, and her natural clumsiness leads her to make mistakes, or in some cases to perform far better than she should be able to. While she tries to hide her innocence and naivety the things she learns and times she shares also has her form a bond with those she travels with, and despite her situation she finds it hard to consider them as simple stepping stones for her end goal.

The tattoos are prison tattoos from when he served time in lock up for getting caught trying to rob a merchant, and not a very rich one at that. He's actually an alcoholic wash up with some strenuous ties to a gang.

Spouting objectivism is his way of both coping and getting attention. Since his parents treated him fine but weren't all that loving, he now has a mix of feelings (missing them, being love-starved, being cynical) and has learned no good way to deal with them, leaving him stuck in a teenage mindset. Any party member that talks to him will find his belief in objectivism very weak, and the mere act of forming a relationship with him will help him cool off.

More to the point, this isn't the first time he's taken an extreme ideology as something that makes sense for him. Among his tattoos include the voluntarist symbol, a hammer-and-sickle, a swastika, a swastika pointing the /other/ direction, a tree, a rainbow, a crucifix, and the names of his parents. Ask him about any of them, and he can explain why they made sense at that time in his life. Now, he uses a permanent glamor he won in a bet with a fae to hide them when he's in good company.

He can't completely turn off the glamor (fae loopholes), so in combat, he just moves it onto his scimitars to turn them blood red. It could be any color, but he likes red.

98% of her brain at once? Sounds like epilepsy.

An epileptic girl, made to endure training from various people as an attempt to help cure her. While it didn't work she picked up alot of knowledge from them. People only think she's a half demon because of the fits of "possession" she suffers from. Even with her illness she still tries to look on the bright side of life wherever she can.
>>
>>50040529
She thinks like a supercomputer because she more or less is, being a genetically engineered anti-magic weapon - her brain is genetically designed for perfect logical thinking, which not only makes her impossible to mind control (because she's programmed with multiple countermeasures against it) and gives her a perfect way of sensing danger (because she can perfectly analyze every stimulus she picks up and come away with the exact chance of each potential threat), but also makes her emotionally handicapped and a dead fish who's literally incapable of feeling emotion.
In the place of emotion, she's programmed with multiple algorithms that allow her to act like she does have emotions in narrowly specific situations, but allowing her to feel emotions would remove her other abilities because her brain would no longer be optimized.
To compensate for her lack of emotional tools, she's designed to be the height of beauty and her body odor and voice are designed to be instinctually comforting. This frequently places her in awkward situations as she can't properly repay people's expecations.
Her "magic sword" is a piece of irreplaceable tech (we're talking billions of dollars) that counteracts magic by having her compute the reason that the magic can't logically work on the fly and the sword stimulating those parts by interacting with them using thousands of electrical pulses or temperature swings, causing the magic to collapse upon itself from excessive "reality strain". Only she can touch it because it's keyed to her genetic code and shocks anyone else who picks it up - and if you change her genetic code to make her closer to a normal human, she won't be able to use it anymore.

A human child (rogue) that is actually much older than he looks because of a deal with a demon and now he kills people for fun because the demon said he could.
>>
>>50040673
He's completely off his nut and prone to fits of crying. His tiny frame makes it difficult to kill anyone not by surprise, and he's had his arm broken more than once. His refusal to reform has had a bounty placed on his head, to be taken alive so to prevent someone killing an innocent kid for the reward money.
>>
>>50035390
That's not a bad concept bud
>>
>>50040673
He's just a child on the outside because he was cheated into the deal by the demon when he was too young to realize what he was doing. That didn't matter to the demon, though, who got him to use his power to gather sacrifices for a ritual that would summon his master to this world - and the reason that the host was a child was that he was a scion of the royal line, whose bloodline was required for the sacrifice. Instead of having to deal with the best guards in the realm, the demon just made a contract with the youngest and most pampered son of the family and then had him gather the sacrifices.
The boy's psyche went completely under a few times, and after spending years screaming himself raw inside his own head, he decided that the only way to enjoy life was to enjoy the killing that the demon, now under the command of his infernal master, had him do.
He's a fragile, lost, confused and pampered noble kid who plays up the cackling maniac angle because it's that or reality. The demon only allows him to kill because every human is a potential sacrifice, and is in fact very strict with him if he doesn't gather sacrifices - for example, if he goes full murderhobo without properly going through the sacrifices or causes trouble for the demon lord, he's in for some severe punishment.
He's incompetent and inexperienced in most skills and trades, and only has the powers the demonic master granted him. Behind it all, he's just a sobbing kid, and he kills because it's what makes him the least scared (he still pisses his pants, sometimes literally, when he does it, though).

>Unrelated, but I think it'd be fun to have a character like this as a minor villain. A character who meets the PCs, is friendly towards them, maybe even fights by their side once or twice, but when things get serious, he has to fight them because he honestly believes the BBEG is right.
I'm actually doing this in my not!Japan game.
It'll be foreshadowed a bit more, but I think my players will be surprised when they find out the BBEG doesn't stand alone.

Character has the ability to unexist and re-exist either at will or in response to trauma, making that character practically invincible and can travel through anything within literally no time.

Spoiler contains my fix.
This character is also almost physically harmless because even the mere recoil from swinging a stick causes him/her to vanish before the hit causes too much damage. Also everything that isn't a part of his/her body is left behind, leading to nudity. (S)he can only sense solid objects while unexisting, so she can't identify sound, color, visual details such as face and text, odor, texture, heat, etc. Also reactive vanashing results in him/her forgetting everything that happened in the last 1_10 minutes, which can be useful to preserve sanity.

Fix is that he does this because he has made too many deals concerning the resting place of his soul, and is working to find a form of immortality, currently hes trying lichdom, but has to do this out of trial and error.

there isn't really enough information there to be cringe.

Adding on to this: it has been so long since she was mortal she has completely forgotten how to do basic tasks. It has also been so long since she has been in any real danger she contantly underestimates her enemies.

Warlock with a pact with the Archfey whose contract is basically arranged marriage with a Titania (I.E. Pic).
>>
>>50036021
So he's a Dwarf?
>>
>>50049724
The marriage contract was a clause in a two-thousand year-old contract that's just now coming to light because fey law is retardedly complicated.
Titania is a titanic (heh) bitch that will make her new husband's life hell, or Oberon is mad as fuck about this outcome and keeps sending people to kill this literally who.
The only reason the PC has these powers is to keep them alive for the wedding arrangements to be settle- and the PC has good reason to skip out on the altar, because it's only going to get worse after 'I do'.
Either that or at the last second they figure out there was a reading error and marriage wasn't what was promised- because fey law is idiotic.

A gestalt entity bound to an ancient bastard sword, consisting of the souls of all its previous wielders and currently superimposing its preferred humanoid form over an otherwise-motiveless sword collector.

>>50049724
Titania has used this contract on many such people before and she uses them as her agents of chaos, filling lies in their ears to kill those that bring about stability. There are at least 12 husbands of Titania that roam the world fill filing the will of their beloved wife.
>>
>>50051254
The sword is cursed and indestructible by mundane means- its constituents are seeking a powerful blacksmith to release the souls that make it up (which would destroy the sword, as it has no other benefit than being indestructible).
The sword collector is sticking around to learn how to fight from the sword, and collect mad dosh to buy more, uncursed swords with.

He only attracts the oddballs, fetishists and psychopathic yanderes due to societal pressure or, indeed, his race driving away all other, more reasonable suitors. He's actually an archaeologist who couldn't care less about marriage, instead deciding to bury himself in his research in order to teach other devils how to make artefacts, or write up a list of safe and not safe artefacts for humans to peruse as they see fit.

Hoo, boy, i'll see if i can go full Donut Steel on this one...

An unusual gestalt of angel, devil, Great Old One and human, with six wings, two for each nonhuman ancestor, four arms, seventeen swords that orbit his head like that one depiction of Amaterasu, each sword has a different enchantment, travelling the world for the sake of propagating his species...which isn't dfficult considering his ruggedly handsome looks, husky, soulful voice, heavely sense of humor and enough money to build a new moon to the sky, and did i mention his parents stay at home to protect their hamlet from various plot-based hometown doomings.

Phew...i felt physically ill writing that. Oughta be a good challenge for you.

>Ninja from the East, who uses secret jutsu techniques and is the lone practitioner of his style
The campaign is about ninjas from the East fighting each other, and just about everyone has secret jutsu techniques. Given the number of people dying in said war, being the lone practitioner of a style isn't unusual.

The epic spiked chain is another PC. In fact, all his partymates are magic items, so they "don't count". When out of combat the items can take human form and act independently.

Thinking like a supercomputer helps with math and blocking mind control, but not common sense. Whenever she's forced to act cutesy she wants to crawl up into a hole and die. Magic-users are extremely rare in her part of the setting, and when they do show up they're so powerful and flexible that the sword isn't really much help.

>>
>>50057568

The swords are one use only. His wings can't function with each other in the way same with the arms, and the unstable mixture of magic snake him very weak and frail. In order to function he must convince others to cut off all but one pair of wings and arms (no mix and matching the magic would be too unstable), and the only swords capable of doing it safely are the ones around his head, and it takes 2 specific swords per limb. With each limb lost in this way he gets a power boost in the remaining abilities. Can can have all his wings removed to optimize fighting, or all his arms removed to optimize magic. His parents hate each other and will disown him if he rejects their corresponding limb. He Can use the swords for incredible combat feats but they are then no longer available for limb removal.

Nothing wrong unless they are a huge healslut. They can try their best, but can't save everyone, not be entirely commited to saving peoples lives and will pick up a gun.

She's the equivalent of the Dread Pirate Roberts, a supposedly immortal hunter who tracks their prey with supernatural powers. Of course, she doesn't have any, so she has to make up for it with tricks and misdirection.

i like this, i would add: The spirit can talk but only the person wielding the sword can hear him. He is furious because he told her how to release him from the sword and let him go to the afterlife but she refuses because she earns too much money this way, so the spirit placed a curse on her and each time she kills an enemy with the sword she gets a year older
>>
>>50061334
She was raised by faun and wears fake horns to emulate them. She was stolen away from vampires at a young age as she was identified as having a fey magic bloodline. Under their tutalage, she learned to live drinking the blood of deer and boars, but upon entering urban society she found her social skills were underdeveloped in the forests, so she only feels comfortable around the creatures she knows from the woods. In a completely unrelated incident to her childhood, a befanged vampire stole her wagon ride after she had already paid for it when she bent down to tie her shoe, something she's still getting used to. He flipped her off as he rode down the street because vampires are dicks.

I tried man.

kek

>>50064492
he's not wrong you know
>>
>>50057568
he has godlike power but the amount of magical energy is quickly consuming his body as it can't contain such incredible amount of power. Each sword was crafted as a means for him to win more time, containing some of his power in them but each time he uses one of the swords it is destroyed and that power returns violently to his body, consuming it even faster. He is really an abomination created by a mad elder god mixing the escence of powerfull races in the body of a human and allowing them to battle inside this new vessel condemning him to a very short life full of suffering.

But there is a way out, delving into the wisdom of the beings that battle withing him he found a spell that can transfer his soul into a new vessel, but that "vessel" must be a child of his own blood so he travels the world impregnating women by any means necesary. But before the children can be born they are all killed by the power that emanates from his body at all times (they get something like radiation poisoning). So he is in a race against time, his body is weaker every day and as his body weakens it is consumed faster by his power
>>
>>50064561
That doesn't make it playable at all, it just adds more unnecessary stuff. That's a terrible idea. You're terrible at this.
