I don't often get character ideas beyond just "I want to play this personality style," but there's one that popped into my head a while back and I shared with a few people.
I kinda want to play a character who charms a small group of novice healers into following him/her around. A personality that's hard not to follow, even if just to see what they'll do. With more brains or ambition they might have been a great leader, but instead it's just some bullheaded idiot constantly getting into trouble and needing their medic buddies to bail them out. GREAT for a healer's resumé! An unending fount of practical experience! Wacky hijinks! Like a harem anime but with less romantic tension and more facepalming!
I suppose I could almost justify moving my current character in that direction, but she doesn't quite have the sheer force of personality (or dashing charmer looks) that would make it work.
Also, of course, it's a concept that requires other people to go along with it, which is a good way to end up never playing a character in the first place.
