Well, if we're talking about my very first character, I don't really remember. I believe I was ten (back in 1981), and my British-American friend Kyle Blake had this new game called Dungeons & Dragons (Basic). I believe I made a fighter character, who ran around in Kyle's homemade dungeon, fighting monsters, solving riddles and having conversations with intelligent magic pools. All in all, it was very fun time and I was hooked.
As for my first good, memorable character, I had to wait until high school to really learn what role-playing was. I think my first good one would have been my cowboy character in a homebrew Boot Hill game (Badges & Bad Men) that my friend's dad ran for us in his garage. Samuel "Lefty" Reiter was an honest man turned outlaw, riding with bad company (not the band! :-P) and drawn ever deeper into a life of violence. His increasing greed and disdain for law and order led him from fighting banditos and Indians, to robbing banks (or trying to anyhow), to being pummeled by midgets, to running from Tyrannosaurus Tex (yes, a real dinosaur - it was a bit of a pulp weird west game). Looking back, those were some of the best times I've had in a campaign, even after another twenty years of gaming.
