There is something to be said about how much fun it is to be the straight man. Usually when I play fighter it's because the rest of my party has chosen to be, shall we say... non-mainstream with their builds. (I'm looking at you 14 Wisdom Elven Cleric, and you too Dual Classed Sorcerer/Wizard.) I like fighter because it does one thing really, really dependably well. If nothing else you can count on the fighter to have a competent turn of probably hitting and dealing reasonable damage if nothing else.

[@cyancyborg1477]

Holy shit, you're right. Being the straight man is unique when being unique is the norm.

[@memenumnoscopus]

I had fun with this. I played a character with the goal of being as un-unique as possible. I was a human fighter, whose backstory was "got drafted into the army and assigned to join the adventurers". None of his stats were hugely high, his feats were lucky and tough. He wasn't special, no tragic history, no prophecy, and no real experience of proper adventure. He kept getting freaked out by things other adventurers took in stride, and sometimes was needed to offer a sane man's perspective on things.

[@Nixonitus]

@Gideon Chan nah, man. The best backstory is literally just to make a standard human fighter, who was at a young age recruited as a soldier, I'm simply served as a soldier for most his life. He is a simple person, born to Farmers, with simple goals in mind as he travels on adventures. Making some badass Leonidas type is all well and good, but, if you want to make something truly unique, I have to seriously recommend the mundane. There is something so special about playing a standard rank-and-file soldier in the game full of fantasy weirdos and anime edgelords.

my human fighter's name is Hue Mann, he was drafted into the army and the war ended after he finished basic but before he got to actual combat, he got to keep his equipment though, and since he had all this training and gear, he thought "well, might as well do something with it all..." and thus the simple but well mannered farm boy became an adventurer. no tragic backstory well, his Pa has a bad leg and can't help as much on the farm as he used to, but he's saving up his gold to hire a healer to head on to the farm to help him out. and maybe a few hired hands for his lil'sis and Ma as well. he didn't even realize he was a "hero" till he heard a bard in a tavern telling a story about the time him and his buddies all saved that merchant caravan from a Drow raid. he's a bit of an old fashioned gentleman, cause he was raised with country manners, sometimes city life confuses him. magic alternates between horrifying and wonder inducing to him, and the first non human he ever met was in the party, and he's always worrying he might offend by accident. I highly recommend using him in your own games, if only to make your GM die just a little inside.

[@giraffedragon6110]

Clayton Weyl that’s actually a super interesting character idea. A fighter I’m in the process of making is a Jaguar tabaxi champion who is a gladiator. Of all things I decided to make him a dual STR and DEX build with high CON and Charisma. His lowest stat is a 10 INT but that’s because he’s self centered and went from exotic slave to proud gladiator. Some ideas I have is that he uses an opportunity to join the party, re-awaken his wanderlust, get accustomed to a non-gladiator lifestyle (as he’s become somewhat stagnant because of it). I’d have a little tidbit where he’d get mistaken for a leopard and get angry, is self conscious of his short tail length (he’d lie and say it got cut up during a fight), and adores theatrics.

[@willferrellssweetnips]

My first (and only) epic character was a black Tiefling Arcane Archer who was inspired by Han Solo for the reasons Nightflash478 listed. I totally get the allure of being a "regular" character forced to use martial talent and cunning to overcome fantastical adversity. It's like bringing a knife to a gunfight. You are probably going to get the sh** kicked out of you. But for me there is nothing more satisfying than having a character that has an unremarkable upbringing claw his/her way out of a dire situation that might outright kill his Wizard companions, or beguile his Barbarian party members. My favorite example being when my lv.15 fighter defeated Orcus in his temple with the party, then got separated from the party and had to end up killing Fraz-Urb'luu by HIMSELF, with less than 25 hp. Needless to say a fair amount of that was luck, (not the feat) and how the dice rolled for me and Fraz. Action surge and indomitable, as well as rolling the highest initiative helped me cheat death lol. Maybe that experience of cheating death as a fighter is unique to me, but that character narrowly escaped A LOT of insta-kills and the like thanks to perks unique to his class. Which is why fighters and rogues will (probably) always be my favorite classes to choose from. Cheers!

[@Sturmjaeger]

But Aragorn is a Ranger.

[@willferrellssweetnips]

I can appreciate that, he's got the specialized training for a specific region typical of a ranger. But I see him as a swiss army knife type character that can handle any battle situation pretty well, and come out on top, no matter what terrain he's in. For that reason I see him as more of a fighter.

Hey man someone has to be able to combat when those spellcasters use up all their powerfull spells before the day is even half over. Oh wait this is 5e, where casters just don’t ever run out of spells. Baby’s fist table top.

[@2401blue]

Depends on the DM! Spellcasters could easily be reduced to cantrips and a burst or two for the last encounters if the adventuring day is intense enough.

Love how the human fighter we know and love, Magnus Burnsides, was most of those stereotypes (sorta rough, likely straight, maybe white, man, tragic vengeful backstory) and then Griffin decided "let's give him a two handed weapon as well" and five arcs later decided to go for broke and in a couple episodes made him also middle aged, grisled, with a VERY tragic and MYSTERIOUS backstory basically ticking the last few boxes And he still fits in super well with his compatriots and was the source of like, one of three or so cries the entire Balance season
