Your MOST enjoyable toon

Hard call, but if someone put a gun to my head, I'd have to say....
AR/NRG Blaster: This is one of my lvl 50 farming toons (but plays best in a full team, or at least with a tank). Insane mowdown of spawns. Stuns to protect me if it goes south. ANd I love boosting range and sniping a mob that is so far away I can barely see him (and I certainly dont see the orange numbers). And I like the fact that hes a glass cannon. If solo and I make a mistake - I die. Fun.
Plant/Fire Dom: I really like the plants set, a pretty utilitarian set. Fire does damage. Lots of it. Just like the play-style a lot on this. I also like that doms are (were) underrated, this was my 1st 50 redside. Lots of people saying doms sucked, and I just went out and played it, and didnt find the suck. Do people still say doms suck?
I think for both, its the playstyle, the element of danger and a lot of different tools to deal with it. My blaster can go exteme range and mow down spawns, or up close and personal with a boss. The dom has confusion, aggro control, a pet, its a little more controlled chaos than a stormie.
I have many 50s, and still play many of them regularly: Storm/Dark def, Fire/EM tank, Elec/Shield scrapper, etc. but those two are probably the most fun.
I've had a lot of fun with characters over the years, but the one that just worked better than everything else was my Super Strength/Shield Defense Brute. It was one of those lucky moments were everything just worked. The playstyle is unmatched; the sheer carnage you can wreak with the stacked buffs is amazing. The visual style of the powers works even better too, you really do feel like an out-of-control war machine. Every time you see the Footstomp and Shiled Charge options up at the same time you can't help but cackle maniacally I also had a character concept that I really liked which just so happened to match it perfectly, too. I don't think I played another character the whole time I was using this one, and it hit fifty in the time I normally get a handful of levels on the others.
My earth/earth Dom. Very active playstyle, loads of control, all the earth effects (both primary and secondary) are very "in your face". There's just something about stomping your foot hard enough to knock a whole room of mobs stupid that makes me smile. I call him my Brutinator. 
Hard to answer.. I got a number of fav. depends on my mood.. But I think Ill have to go with my SS/Inv brute..
Activate does toggles and start smashing people around only stopping for a very short while to recover and then smash on... Its awesome ^^
Only thing making me cry about it, is that he only does smashing damage, but hell it looks fun xD
Right now I would have to say my Spines/Elec scrapper Blueside, followed by my Mind/Elec Dom redside.
I am also having fun with my Ice/ice Blaster. I gave her Teleport Foe and have been having a "blast" with all the things I can get it to do...I now, very rarely, get any aggro from surgically removing one minion too many from a group, or from removing the minions found surrounding the big boss.
Teleport my chosen victim to me, freeze the poor guy in an ice cube, Bingo!
Hmmmm....wonder if my Spines/Elec would like Teleport Foe. Don't have a hold yet, but I can certainly handle whatever grief one minion gives me....

My AR/Devices Blaster which is my main and also badge character. I'm attached to him because of his bio, his powerset and his name. Sadly he has been level 50 for 4 or so years and there is no content left for him to do.
My main is my Archery/Ice Blaster, had her since I6. When everyone said it was gimp, took me a year to get to 50, but I slogged thru it (and I enjoyed it, regardless of others’ opinions). Then IOs came out, then Purple IOs, and then they buffed her and buffed her – and now she is stacked to the gills with as much bling as I could manage.
But it IS hard to choose, I’m pimping out a Arch/MM blaster, I have a great Ill/Rad Controller, my Dark/Fire Brute is a nonstop blast, my Stone/Stone Tanker is viscerally satisfying, my Rad/Elec Defender is terrific on TFs and Teams… as you can see, it would be impossible to choose just one.
Arc #6015 - Coming Unglued
"A good n00b-sauce is based on a good n00b-roux." - The Masque
My veats.
Huntsman/bane combo that I'm IO'ing out.
Fortunata/currently gimped NW. Only the fort has some IO slotting, the rest SOs.
I just love their versatility, not to mention 20% def (TT:M + M), tactics, and 30% +dam (TT:A + A) on my huntsman? And he doesn't run dry of end thanks to performance shifter and numina's procs?
I play my huntsman like a corruptor, my bane like a blapper, fort as a blast happy dom, and NW... well I loved the fort so much I don't usually go NW lol.
Only thing I wish for are customizable power colors (for fort) and more weapon options for the soldier.

This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
My fire/sr scrapper. To this day, he's still the only character that I've purpled. He's an absolute wrecking ball, with more staying power than most tanks. He is my default 'go-to' character when something new comes out and I want to give it a try.
Easy. Ill/storm Troller - Houdini Hare. Bring on the Chaos.
My FF/DP Defender right now. Great for teaming, several AOEs to help mow down mobs, and the sets look and sound good. Useful to almost every team, taskforce or raid.
I quite enjoy my SD/BA Tanker. The SD offers pretty good defense, and an AoE attack for a bonus. The Battle Axe provides bloody nice damage. It's strong enough so that my friends and I can use it as a main tank, and does great damage to help us out in a pinch. The KB is great. Couldn't ask for anything more!
Just to be safe, since I just saw this thread: I love my Warshade. Not just enjoy, but love. I can cap my damage solo, my damage resist solo, and have managed to purple her out, to the point of perma-hasten. She's my farmer, able to handle most enemies at +4/x8, with the exception of endurance draining enemies.
The fact that her name is "a little bunny" doesn't hurt either, as that makes for some awesome NPC dialogue. Did you hear? Frostfire was defeated by a little bunny!
The guy in my avatar is my fave of all time. He's my main, FB/DM corr. He runs into a room, ruins everything, eats all the cake, laughs about it, and kicks a puppy on his way out.
