I voted other because there are three that I would like to vote for:
  1. Dragon Hatchling disguised as beautiful girl
  2. Cyberknight as a beautiful dee bee(elf, true atlantean etc.)
  3. Busty Female Man at Arms

They are pretty rare in my experience, too.

I've found it's the player, not the character that's the problem.

I'll clarify.

Players playing crazies can really bring down a game. So can any player playing any character, but insane characters seem to be more facilitating of it.

Seems that's as much an excuse to be a douche though.

Could be, certainly. Insanity is difficult to play and not be non-disruptive. But so can mages and long bowmen, if they don't suit the player's strengths as a player.

The difference is how easily those can be used as excuses for douche-baggery.
