I've seen very little discussion on the characters everyone plays. So how about it - what's been your favourite character so far in your Conan experiences - or if you're a DM, do you have a pet NPC?
As a player: My favourite character so far was a Cimmerian Soldier (later a Cimmerian Soldier/Noble). I say Cimmerian, but he actually used Hyborian game stats. The concept I had come up with was that the Cimmerian had been a slave in Aquilonia (the game is set prior to Conan becoming King). Since he'd been ferried to Aquilonia as a very young child, he was raised Aquilonian for all intents and purposes. So the DM decided that it would be more fitting to statistically treat the character as Aquilonian, but flavour-wise would appear as a Cimmerian.
A very fun character to play - straight soldier all the way until he eventually started carving out a kingdom in Southern Nemedia with the help of a few lifelong friends - also all ex-slaves of Aquilonia. At that point I hopped into the Noble class to represent his growing leadership skills.
I really don't know quite why he's been my favourite character so far. Just was. I enjoyed the brutal, mail-clad, sword-slinger cleaving heads and helping to ruin entire armies. He may also be my favourite because he was my first ever Conan character.
Oh, and his name was Ademerus.
Anyone else want to share?
