None, and I wouldn't know how.
Yes.
Sure today is the first day of the rest of your life. But so was yesterday. And look how that turned out.
2 edit- Dark/Shield scrapper and SS/SR brute.
Don't know. edit- About to get working on a build for my Mace/WP tank and see where I can take it.
No, but rutabaga does.

My AR/NRG blaster has something like 42.17% ranged def [close enough to the cap] and is purely used to get me inf/drops quickly to raise for competitions.
Having full auto up every mob plus having almost no real threat to being killed made the ranged def bonuses a real desire of mine. I'ld never do it again though on any of my other characters though since i prefer to have a clear difference between all of mine [for example my fire/dark scrapper is better for sustaining damage for a long period of time].

4: Fire/SR scrapper, Nightwidow, Ice Tanker (softcapped only to Lethal/Smashing, but that works well enough), and my SS/Shield Brute. Widow was easiest, Brute was toughest, but he's a beast as long as his def doesn't get debuffed. Not much resist to that.|

Freedom: Blazing Larb, Fiery Fulcrum, Sardan Reborn, Arctic-Frenzy, Wasabi Sam, Mr Smashtastic.
1: 50 SR scrapper, 50 invul scrapper (s/l), 50 invul tank (s/l), and a regen scrapper that currently has very high positional defenses, despite this being kind of a dumb way to build regen. Oh, and another invul tank, so... that's 4 or 5 depending on how you look at it.
2: working on several more scrappers and tanks... at least 3 that I have laid out the blueprints for, if not fully softcapping, then at least getting close to that.
3. kinda yeah

None at this time.
Nope.
So what's the difference between soft cap and hard cap? I never really understood the difference.
Uber Talgrim - level 50 emp/dark defender
Uber Rod - level 50 dark melee/regen scrapper
Rod Valdr - level 50 invuln/SS tanker
Talgrim - level 50 ninja/dark mastermind
OMG!! Please add these costume designs now!

Soft cap means a cap where it is technically possible to go higher but there is no real point in doing so (either due to diminishing returns or because there is simply no benefit to doing so).|

Hard cap means the point where the game mechanics will not let you go any higher.
For defense the softcap is 45% since going above that does not impact and NPC's chance of hitting (ignoring the possibility of defense debuffs or to hit buffs). I'm not sure what the defense hard cap is but it's high enough to be functionally irrelevant.
To answer the OP:
1. No, I have a high defense AR/Dev blaster but he isn't softcapped since I don't like the sacrifices required to soft cap a blaster
2. I'll probably try and soft cap but BS/SD Scrapper if I ever get around to finishing him
3. Not really

My namesake character, a bots/FF, is at 48% def(smash,lethal) and all six 'bots are 48% def(all). If I don't get hit with auto-hit -def, like radiation's toggle power or a Tar Patch, the bots and I are pretty nearly unkillable in PvE.
Two, three, and absolutely. I mean, I giggle when people say "badger" because I keep thinking "small furry mammal". 
I have a softcapped Fire/Shield brute. He pwns face.

I'm only ladylike when compared to my sister.
Scissor Man is my soft cap, Blades/SR Brute. I also have Project Dragonfly, my Ninja/Energy Stalker, softcapped to Smashing, Lethal, and Energy.
Yes I plan to make more. If I can just maintain my focus on any one character for longer than a day.
No, I don't see the humor.

I'm not really into min/maxing performance, I just like making inf and spending it. Soft capping requires a type of planning I find tedious (someone else figured out the ar/dev build for me).

The Nethergoat Archive: all my memories, all my characters, all my thoughts on CoH...eventually.
My City Was Gone
I've got 1, my MA/SR scrapper. She's between 45-50% with all her toggles running.
I'm planning on softcapping my fire/fire scrapper... just kidding. No, no plans for anyone else. Don't really have any defense characters in the pipeline, mostly non-melee or resistance melee.
Ice/SS tank, Claws/Inv scrapper s/l, Dark/Dark defender ranged, Shield tank, SR brute, SR stalker, Night Widow,and Peace Bringer for ranged.
I find invulnerablility is amazing when you soft cap S/L.
DB/SR, DM/SD.
AR/Fire, Arch/Dev, Kat/Inv, Clawns/Nin, Widow.
Soft Cap does, much like Peter Griffin when he had diplomatic immunity.

Nope
lol @ Nether... Saving up? LOL!
I have two softcapped toons.
One is my Nrg/Nrg Blaster, whose second build is softcapped to ranged. My second is my DM/SD Scrapper, who is softcapped to all three positions.
If I get my Claws/SR Brute leveled up, he'll be my next toon to softcap. Other than that, no plans.
And no, softcap and hardcap don't make me giggle.
@Demobot
Also on Steam
I have an Axe/SR brute softcapped for all, a Elec/Shield Brute soft capped for melee, ranged and 36% aoe, and a SOA crab built with soft capped range. I'm working on a War Mace/Dark brute right now with 40% melee, but should be able to get to soft cap in the near future. War Mace and Axe are great since they have a lot of PBAOE that can slot obliteration sets. 3.75% melee and 5% recharge, what a great set.
My Broadsword/Shield Scrapper, "Bull Shield" is my first soft-capped character -- it does require one parry to softcap melee, but Ranged and AoE are both at 47%. He still needs about 5 more IOs to complete his Regen and Recovery, but he's the first character I have ever gotten close to having "done." Too many alts.
I have plans to soft-cap my MA/SR scrapper and maybe my Invul/Axe tank if I ever save up enough infl to do it. Maybe my Shield/SS tank.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)
Guide Links: Earth/Rad Guide, Illusion/Rad Guide, Electric Control
Softcapped to all positions:
Fire/SR scrap
DM/Shield scrap
To two positions:
FF/Energy def
Ice/Kin controller
Planned:
WP/DB tank to some typed
Crab to ranged
Fortunata to ???
and probably more as rolled
So there is a lot of talk these days about soft-capping. I do not have any soft-capped toons right now, but I plan to soft cap my MA/SR within the next few months.
So Im curious
How many soft-capped toons do you have? Builds?
How many of your other toons do you plan to soft cap?
Do the terms soft cap and hard cap make you giggle?
