I have one character that occasionally drinks, but I have to hope that maybe one day somebody will question why he drinks so I can reveal he’s actually collecting the labels

I had a character that always referred to other party members almost exclusively as their character class not their name (Master Ranger, Master Wizard etc.) which was always a very minor thing that I did just to be a little different from norm but I remember it payed off tenfold when I had to sacrifice the character to save the others from big bad and after a multiple year campaign his last words to them were “It’s been an privilege …” followed by their actual name which he had never done before and it made the moment seem a lot more real

The monk in our group always said something like : ''Ah! My master would've known that.'' or ''My master clearly would've done better.'' That unnamed offscreen master was a legend lol

You might scoff at catchphrases, but in the wise words of Caduceus Clay... "That's really nice."

My rock gnome has the catch phrase of "what's up" because he's lived in caves and underground constantly so he uses it to people who are above ground

I find what helps me when making a character is to give them one unexpected skill and to think about why they have it. I played a Necromancer once who came into his powers at a young age and became a butterfly collector. Why? Because it's one of the few socially acceptable ways for a child to study death at a young age. It didn't come up much, but it was always in my mind as a part of the character.
