My first DnD character was me as a Wizard.
I also played such stellar characters as a Mini'd Mindflayer Paladin and a gluttonous child Mimic that shape-shifted into golems because they were totally objects, right? I also had my prerequisite Drow - a perfectionist male priest of Eillistrae that he only followed because she had enough balls to defy Lolth. And he ultimately ended up dual-wielding scythes.
On the other hand, I also got to make the elderly scion of the family that created the Tarrasque (and had a mini-one as a pet, an ultimately unkillable little ball of muscle and sinew with 4 HP), a lawful evil kobold that ended up owning 3/4s of his adventuring party, and a summoner who drew the beasts he was calling forth in his sketchbook and effectively yanking them into existence.
