Sometimes in a boring meeting, I've been rolling FK characters just for fun. I will never get to play them, but some of these are really quirky/lucky/interesting, so I will put some here.
Post your own FK characters you won't play!

STR: +1 DEX: +1 CHA: +2 HP: 6
- Mighty Thews - When digging, building, felling trees or mining, you can do the work of five men, and eat as much as three - Monster Bomb - Requires a brain to be fed into a funnel on top of the bomb. Primed after an hour. Releases a monstrous version of the original creature - Shortsword (d6) - Novel, half-read - Lung of the Fleshgod Inheritor - If you eat it, your guts are filled with soft hooting noises and crackling. You can eat scrolls, wands etc. and synthesise them into new forms. Eating more Lungs grants additional fusing and spell-casting.

Bond: I go to ____ for advice and guidance
A big man, taller than most and fatter than most, always wheezing and chewing on something. He gets cranky very quickly when he's starting to feel peckish.

Name: Emma Vlamdibulus Tragic Backstory: Shovelling shit, inheritance, tortured soul STR: +3 DEX: +3 CHA: +1 HP: 1
- Shortbow (d6)
- Failed Career: Tinker - If you sell something to someone on the road, you can make a prediction about their future. It'll happen to them if they deserve it - Failed Career: Thug - You don't care if you get your nose broken (again), and can fight with any one-handed weapon while grappling - Failed Career: Debutante - If you walk down a staircase, someone already at the base looking up will fall in love with you
- Brass doorknob - Bag of lard - Terrible Spoon - It's absolutely useless for eating soup with, it's just three short prongs on the end of a handle! Nobody can see it as anything but a dreadful spoon - You Killed My Father, Prepare To Die - Scrounge - If you dig through a pile of trash, you always gain a random item
- You can spit with unerring accuracy Bond: ____ is my lucky charm
This is the first time I've seen three Failed Careers on a single character.
Poor Emma had a rough childhood after her father was killed. She had done many an odd job to make the ends meet, and learned to survive on the streets. Recently, however, her luck has turned when some long-lost relatives have found her and taken her in. Suddenly becoming an heir to a sizeable fortune, she will have to deal with now being a desirable bachelorette, no matter her many times broken nose.

Name: "Earthbinder" Alignment: Edgy Evil
STR: +1 DEX: +2 CHA: +4 HP: 5
- Scimitar (d6) - Fake brick of gold - Lockpicks - Havoc Warboots - Renders your kicks as effective as a good quality axe at kicking down doors, smashing chests and breaking skulls - Empty box of many things - Conrad the Wise - Jawless cracked skull in a grey cloth bag. When Conrad comes in skin contact with someone, he takes great delight in screaming how they are going to die (probably) - Earth-Flesh - You can plant seeds under your skin, neither you nor the plant are harmed by this process
Bond: ____ stood up to me
Mostly for that name and alignment, and so much skulls and smashing!

Name: Xim Plindle
Ancestry: Zombie (No reroll. Take d4 damage to a random stat to come back from the dead, if at all possible. You've already lost d4 from each stat)
STR: 11 DEX: 8 CON: 3 INT: 9 WIS: 3 CHA: 10
Before you became an adventurer you...
Found a unique way to move: Road Knight - So long as you have an accurate map of a location and know where you are on it, the location will grant you a boon
Got your hands on a magical artefact, dug it out of a grave: Shadowcape - Makes you invisible except for your shadow
Survived against all odds: Last Stand - Instead of taking a blow, burn your final reserves. For three rounds, you take no damage. After that you cannot use this ability and take max damage from all attacks forever
Items: - Selective Bomb - Only damages things (d4): 1. Of a particular colour, 2. In a particular direction 3. Made of certain material, 4. That are alive - Set of bellows - Flail - Rations, 3 - Torches, 3
This one is a Die Trying character, but had to share. Clearly the Shadowcape is his own burial shroud. Considering the 3 WIS and 3 CON, I'd allow the penalty of Last Stand to be "until you die" rather than "forever". Seems like he might survive a bit longer, whether he likes it or not...

A Road Knight killed in an ignoble way, returned from the grave to get his glorious Last Stand? Witness me! Anyway, here is a pretty powerful wizard. With the ring of good omen, he can immediately access his grimoire and get to spell slinging! Name: Paag "the Honest" Edlyn Tragic Backstory: Judgement and scorn, alter-ego, last survivor STR: +1 DEX: +1 CHA: +2 HP: 1 - Locked Grimoire - Contains 2d6 bizarre spells, breaking the lock deals d12 damage and inflicts a curse - Wizard Voice - Mouth moves out of sync with speech, as if speaking a different language
- Plumed helmet (+1 HP) - Ring of Good Omen - Absorbs a curse or spell, difficult to "clean out" safely - Sling (d6) - Thick leather gloves - Bag of marbles - Jar full of mismatched buttons
- Vivid Paint - Anything painted comes to life but can't leave the surface it was made on - Scroll of Sleep - Anyone who hears you read the whole thing aloud falls asleep Bond: I tried to kill ____ once, long ago

Name: Mordvey 870 Tragic Backstory: Heartbroken, stuck underground, alter-ego
STR: +3 DEX: +1 CHA: +2 HP: 2
Atlatl and javelins (d8) Wand of Illusion - Tin and moonstone. Allows you to draw illusions into being. Last until touched. Only empowered castings can move Round-shield (block d12, then breaks) Shield (block d12, then breaks) Holy Arrow - Radiant damage. Create a light effect where they hit Mossy tooth of an unknown beast Cube of Refrigeration - Black stone, heavy, always slightly cooler than the surroundings. If a fire is lit atop it, it sheds even colder air Spirit of Fate - You have been imprisoned in this world as a mere mortal. All supernatural creatures treat you as an important person, though many will mock your predicament
Bond: I go to ____ for advice and guidance
God of the Moon, with twin shields of New and No Moon, betrayed by a star-lover and trapped in this cave with no way to tell their celestial companions of the Traitor-Star's plans. Weaves illusions and night-chill and fires bolts of moonlight- or at least, used to be able to, and now makes do with mortal replacements.
This looks super fun, I might play the Moon if Pops dies.

Sadly it has been previously established that teleport magic only works to destinations within the dungeon. That totem would teleport you out of the current structure you are in, but one room in the dungeon counts as one structure, see?

Name: Cherniako "Grim Face" Sibley Alignment: Seductive Confused STR: +5 DEX: +2 CHA: +2 HP: 6 - Powerful Name - It echoes and reverberates whenever pronounced - Peg leg with hidden compartment
- Bag of dried fish - Still-screaming head of a human sorcerer. Will fall silent if placed in complete darkness - Really Good Dog - You are a dog. You can understand the words of your allies and anyone they are talking to, but if you are interacting with NPCs alone, you are pretty clueless Bond: I have heard stories about ____
A peg-legged dog who carries a sack with some snacks and the head of his former master. Also his barking sounds like thunder and the cries of lost souls, because he keeps barking his own name. Delightful.
EDIT: And here is a character portrait. I would actually love to play this guy one day. Attachments:
