i answered this on the old one, but what the hay...i don't play often, but when i do...
OLD CHARACTER
eric the cleric...the sketch i drew of him ended up looking eerily like martin landau (totally unintended)
NEW CHARACTER
loort skudra, the ivinian viking...carries a gigantic warhammer (like thorgren in conan the barbarian)
additionally, i have played the following characters in a dark matter campaign:
ed hinkle - overweight forensic pathologist whose wife left him for the cable guy
jackson king - one funky, bad mofo
