My current character in a campaign is a hat. He comes from a long line of headgear, most notably his great uncle who is a crown. Buy wearing him a person is given near immortality and great insight.

Crunch wise he is a sparrow hengeyokai who stays in sparrow form and lives in a hat buffing his wearer.

In a (failed) evil campaign I created an evil bard-y character who was very genre savvy and wanted there to be more heros in the world. So he went around finding potentially promising children(referred to as potential PCs ;)) and then doing things like
  • killing off their entire villages
  • murdering their parents in front of them
  • buying them as slaves, abusing them for a short while then allowing their escape
  • calling on powerful outsiders/fey to curse them
In a surprising display of intelligence for him, before doing these things he would disguise himself as someone who he felt was deserving of vengeance. The DM even said that given a sufficiently long-lived creature, I might be able to find someone who would pay me as an assassin for doing this.
He also had three kids and while he was normally a good parent, he would schedule prearranged times to be abusive.

"I hear that you're quite the skilled assassin.  So, what's your favored weapon for your, ah, jobs?"
"Batmen."
"...What?"
"You heard me.  Assassination by means of Batman."
“Hast thou not felt in forest gloom, as gloaming falls on dark-some dells, when comes a whisper, hum and hiss; savage growling sounds a-near, dazzling flashes around thee flicker, whirring waxes and fills thine ears: has thou not felt then grisly horrors that grip thee and hold thee?”

I once played a living prestidigitation monk//incarnate.  He was a doctor (like, with a medical license), and a very good one at that (living prestidigitations can clean things by hitting them).  No items, but used my body as lockpicks.  I once set a cursed ship on fire to kill the entire undead crew thing, then ran across the ocean instead (Incarnate, so I could shape the waterstep sandal things).  But not until I killed a swarm by eating it.
