I'd like to generate some discussion over what character you've played has been the most and the least fun. Not necessarily the best killer, or even the best rp'er, just what you have most and least enjoyed playing.
For me, my absolute favorite character has been a gnome druid (yes, this was when they had bearform). At the time, they could pretty much do it all, and since I didn't like depending on groups, it allowed me freedom I haven't seen since old-school mages or clerics. Wanted flags were meaningless since I never went to cities, and was usually treeformed or otherwise hidden, although that might seem terribly boring to some people. Forest haven while chameleoned was darn nice for exploring the realms in safety.
My absolute least favorite character ever was a human healer in Empire. I had a dismally boring rise to 51, hated everybody I had to tag along with, and pretty much the only thing that made 300+ hours seem worthwhile was being a vital component in two hell groups. I still felt like I was always everybody's backup, and could never force myself to stand out like I wanted. (To give you an idea how much of a second-class citizen I was, I had to play backup to Istendil, Kah, the Wolverine, and Llorenthos, so I never got any respect).
Anybody else have a character you just couldn't get enough of? Or that you absolutely dreaded playing, but you couldn't stop because you were insane at the time?
