Hasn't happened yet, but picture your standard fantasy setting with the PCs meeting in the tavern. In walks a half-orc wearing the most outlandish clothes anyone has seen on one of orc blood. Walking with a brass-lined cane clearly meany more for style than use, the half-orc is garbed in black pants, a black jacket over a dark brown vest with a small chain leading to a pocket. Around his neck is a pair of goggles with gears and cogs, with a black hat also bearing gears and cogs atop his head. On his back is a metal contraption that occasionally lets out a puff of smoke (or is it steam).
As he stands before the barkeep, he gently tosses his cane upwards to grab it in the same motion that he removes his hat and performs a sweeping bow, seemingly unbothered by the massive weight that the contraption must weigh. As he straightens and dusts his hat, he introduces himself with the most peculiar accent, "Allow me to introduce myself old fellow, my name is Kharn Sootbrow of the city of Urzak. I have journeyed far to learn all that I can, but for tonight I wish to order a beverage. What might you have available good sir?"
*Picture the most over-the-top, American attempt at a posh Victorian British accent. I expect the game will come to a stall as the other players either stare in bewilderment of laugh their butts off.*

So we had the first session, and at one point Kharn had his sword-cane unsheathed and the tip pointing to the neck of a surrendered goblin. Long story short, the goblin tricked the party into activating an artifact that turned the dead goblins into zombies. Kharn's response:
"Well it's your lucky day old chap. We don't have time to torture you, so I'm going to have to kill you. Cheerio!" *stab through neck*

Oh I love eccentric characters. They are so fun, quirky, and ludicrous. My favorite is an NPC I called...
"JEREC WAYLAN! *self proclaimed* ADVENTURER EXTRAORDINAIRE. Procurer of HISTORIC knowledge, Ancient tomes, and ARCANE treasures! Traveler of the GREAT expanses, sailor of the HIGH SEAS, and sampler of the FINEST cuisines. Every exploring and never flinching from a challenge, because WAYLAN'S NEVER back down from a challenge! Whether it be a exploring, mapping, delving, arching, cooking, climbing, swimming, swording, sewing, wooing, jumping, racing, licking, watching, exploding, gambling, slapping, or goose noodling! And I do it all with my trusted friend and companion BARREL!"
*Nasally Gnome* "Sir.....its Bar-el"
"That is what I said Barrel!" *claps shoulder, walks away*

Would Bar-el be an alumni of the Gnomish University of Ephemeral and Supernatural Studies?
*take a look at the university's acronym*
