One character idea I’ve always wanted to try was a spy/thief/hidden role but so far none of the campaigns I’ve played in have ever fit the concept. Imagine it, a character with no identity, who’s nowhere on the modern radar. It would give you a lot of freedom, I think. But creating it would take some thought and this page on How to Disappear in America would be a good starting point for the background.
The author of the page goes through a great many steps that are tailor-made for creating the background for a role-playing character, starting with “Section 2: Understanding Who or What You’re Hiding From”. “Section 5: Keeping Hidden” looks good for role-playing tips during the campaign. “Section 6: People who can Help You” can give you ideas for NPC allies.
Obviously, this concept involves sitting down with your GM and ironing out some details before the campaign even begins but if you could pull it off, it looks like a lot of fun.
