Mine was a shark person male named Susan (he didn't understand the idea of gendered names but liked how human names sounded)

I liked my first character I ever played. Wasn't really good and was very new to role playing dialog and didn't like to come up with in-character dialog, so I built a barbarian around that.

His back story was being wrongfully accused of a crime and thus had his tongue cut out and was exiled from his home.

All he could do was gesture and mumble and make noise. Low Int, no sign language or reading, etc.

It made a bunch of interactions with party members and npc's quite interesting. Had to pantamime and gesture and grunt actions, not only in character, but as a player which was great fun :)
