It's hard to say which of the characters I've written myself is my fave: they were all the result such labour and love. But I must admit that my very first RPG character in the late and lamented Green Dragon Inn has a very special place in my heart. Snaveling the rogue from the wilderness, transformed by love and friendship to something less rough and unwholesome, discovers both his long-lost grand-daughter, and his true identity as the lost king of drowned Numenor. I think he is such a favourite of mine because so much of what became of him was the result of the excellent writing of those I encountered -- he is the product of their skill as much as he owes anything to me. (I am still determined to arrange an RPG in which I can bring Snaveling back and complete his story somehow...)
Of the many excellent characters written by others, Queen Bekah from Shadow of the West brought to brilliant life and then tragic death by Bethberry has a special place of awe in my pantheon.
Kransha's Thrakmaz one-eye from Bloodstained Elanor was hands down the single best orc character ever created on the Downs...on par with any of the orcs that even the Professor allows us to see.
Aman's alter ego, the Innkeeper of the Golden Dragon is, of course, beloved for all kinds of reasons.
One other character I must needs mention, again of my own creation, is Chakka from Numenorean Blood Runs Black. I had to leave the game mid-stride and regret to this day that I could not explore him more fully -- he promised to be a truly fascinating figure.
