My wife and I started playing Dungeons and Dragons last year which eventually evolved into a weekly meetup at our house every Wednesday night. It started with just 5 people, including the DM, but now we're up to 9 (although so far not everyone has been able to make it at once). One of the players, Dave Eldred, became interested in being the DM one night when our normal DM suddenly fell ill and everyone else had already come over. So Dave has started his own campaign...
My backstory is that I'm a semi-botched attempt at creating a Revenant by Joshua Black (Howard's character). I say semi because he failed to perfectly patch my head back together. I was draconic in my former un-undead life but I cannot recall many details other than being a strong follower of God (hence my calling as an undead paladin). I have the sneaking suspicion that I may have been murdered due to the damage to my head but do not remember who or why. Joshua Black raised me with the intention of finding my hidden riches, but while I recall being a rich noble based upon vague flashbacks I don't remember where those riches were housed. I'm hoping as time passes my memory will restore itself (or the DM will suddenly say I have visions of my life ;-) ) So now I'm undead and loving it, just enjoying being semi-alive.
As for the gameplay side of things I'm essentially the ultimate tank. Even at level 1 I roll a D12 for damage. The best part about being a Revenant (undead) is that I have an ability called Unnatural Vitality that allows me to stay conscious even when my HP drops to 0. I extended this with a Feat so even when I'm at 0 health I can still use a standard action and a minor action. So as long as I continue to roll saving throws and the enemies don't run away from me I can continue the beatings. Plus, I also get all the benefits of being a Draconic race character, don't need to eat or sleep, and I'm mostly immune to necrotic damage.
