Need ideas please...

I suggest playing a few of your characters on teams and observing your teammates as you all play missions (look at their powers colors, examine their costumes, read their bios, ask them about their names, etc.). You're bound to run into a character concept that is 'neat' or inspires an idea for another character. The easiest characters to stick with are the ones with concepts you find interesting.
Currently playing my Spines/DA stalker again. He was a pain to play before IOs came out but I stuck with him and kept him in my stables. He's just silly fun to play now
Sounds like you might just need to go top down with a concept.
Sit down and imagine what your character's "look" or "feel" is...what powers do they use, what might be fun for you to try out? Do you like being in range, up close, holding down mobs...maybe you like to buff and shoot? Try a few things for a few levels then go with the flow. 
Questions about the game, either side? /t @Neuronia or @Neuronium, with your queries!
168760: A Death in the Gish. 3 missions, 1-14. Easy to solo.
Infinity Villains
Champion, Pinnacle, Virtue Heroes
It is really hard to get a feel for some sets in the early levels. For instance, a Fire/Dark corruptor starts really fast, has good damage, debuff, AoE, and a self-heal by level six. On the other hand, an Ice blast/Cold domination is a fairly fragile set, buffs others well, but when the cold dom hits level 35, he's suddenly an AoE debuffing machine. Level 38 comes and the cold dom guy is a total debuffing berzerker. Warshades turn a corner at level 20 when they can morph into the dwarf form with good resists, overcoming their glass cannon image. When the warshade hits level 22, he replenishes his health and endurance from fallen foes - stygian circle. Total effectiveness just explodes.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.
You guys have been a lot of help! Thanks for the responses everyone. I noticed one thing I haven't tried yet is the MM. I'm using that for now to see how I like it along with my wife's new toon, which is a DB/EA scrapper she made in order to assist me on my quest to find my toon. It's kindda cool cause its like having my one minion and an extra super smart one at my command
How about a plant/sonic controller named "Bloom Box" or "Shrub Woofer".

I've really loved my bots/traps MM. Started a bit wussy prior to upgrade robot and/or the second henchman, but later gets to be utterly amazing.

When you get a protector bot that heals his fellow minions, bubbles them and you, plus a forcefield generator, things are fairly golden defense-wise.

Unfortunately, I'm having issues attempting to create a character.
I have like 6 or 7 different ones, but I'm never satisfied with them and get bored of them easily. Can anyone give me some ideas? so far my favorite toons have been my EB/EM blaster, BS/SD scrapper, and my NB/Nin stalker. please help.
