Essential components of any fantasy rolepaying group:

• The player who brings exactly the same swishy elf character to every table; 50% chance of wizard, 50% chance of bard, 100% chance of banging a dragon before the campaign is done.
• The player who favours dwarves because they’re uncomfortable with speaking in character and dwarves aren’t expected to have personalities.
  
• The player who thinks they’re cleverly subverting expectations by playing their halfling as a bloodthirsty, sexually promiscuous drug fiend, unaware that - thanks to players like them - literally 80% of all halfling player characters are like that.
• The player who designs their character purely for novelty value - like, this time they’re a giant telepathic praying mantis, or whatever - yet inexplicably manages to have the deepest character arc out of anyone.
  
• The player whose character’s stats honestly don’t matter because their real contribution to the party is being the only adult in the room.
  

More:

• The perennial orc player who you’re pretty sure is using the game as a group therapy session to work through some sort of identity issue.
• The player whose rogue’s complicated backstory and sinister secret agenda never actually end up being relevant in play because they also kept it a secret from the GM.
• The player with a penchant for Lawful Goodish warrior types who thinks they’re the adult in the room, but really they just have a talent for making irresponsibly dangerous plans sound reasonable - even to themselves.
  
• The player who insists on taking the most complicated race/class combo the GM will allow, then later discovers that the reason they can’t hit for shit is because they’re been rolling their attacks on a d12 all night.
  
• The player who rolls druids because they are a straight up furry.
  

Always share your rogue’s secret agenda with the DM. @we-are-rogue

Always! Bonus points if you guilt-trip them to a quid pro quo and make them share their secret agenda with you. :p
