Speaking of dreams, ursulav has an idea for an awesome RPG character in her dreams.

Nice one. I had a character once with a D20 mental impediment: a gully dwarf with an intelligence of 4 (who thought he was a paladin). Whenever I had a good idea I did an intelligence check and on failure (which was often) I'd ignore my idea and suggest something stupid. On a critical failure I'd go ahead and just do something stupid.

He was eventually stomped to death by an ogre that he was trying to give a pedicure to, and the party decided not to resurrect.

I played in a group with a friend who always gave her character some sort of speech impediment. That culminated in her playing a mute, illiterate barbarian. *twitch*

After that, she went on to play a kender in character and claimed not to understand why the rest of the party constantly tried to kill her character.

Hehe! I loved kender, but I could never pull off that childlike innosence so essential to roleplaying one properly.

When it comes to offbeat characters, you either love to play them or hate to play with them. Guess you're in the latter group. :P

Almost reminds me of one of my TMNT rpg characters, except in complete reverse. I think my character was a bobcat or something, it was unable to speak, but luckily its super mutation goop power gave it telepathy. Unfortunately the character was as dumb as a pile of rocks and so would periodically forget how to use it entirely or would leave her mind "tuned in" in such a way that she would broadcast all her tiny bobcat thoughts to everyone within a certain distance. Sometimes it would work great as well, though with the short kitty attention span it was sometimes hard to tell.
