Memorable characters

Well, I gonna break the ice with a story about a friends char for DC. Remeber there is no real rules in makeing a char for my games do you want something extra you need to think the works for your self.
First I will declare that this char was played by a man and each player wasn't allowed to talk skillnumbers just say "Well, I think I can handle this". The woman Clara Swensson is a normal built, normal heigh, twoman with a taste for woman clothes like dresses the reason why she aint wearing pants is that the player convinced me while we used my newly developed martial arts rules that this woman would have an extra asset in her character, namely easier to feint with kicks while wearing dresses (don't ask why really the twisted minds of my players aint a concern for me as long there is a good play ). So she gets according to the rules a good knowledge in some martial arts with lot of kicking and how to use the moves. I try to please the player with at least a "fight with bare hands" now and then becouse there is no more of a pain when you as a player have come up with a twist on your char and you don't going to be able to use it becouse the GM. So the memorable was that this woman was a computer nerd with major skillassets in the computer electronic field, breaking into computer systems was one of the campaigns tasks that players let this char to handle.
So for the short snippet of the story. While ordering some cheap food at a fast food restaurant the players had no guns with them and in rushes these three goons with 1 sawed off shotgun and 2 baseball bats. The players char stands in line to get her order done. From beeing geeky she just stands there when every customer hits the floor (even the other players, who are still not aware of the deadly feets and hands this char got). The goon with the shotgun really pissed off that a small woman in a dress just stands there like nothing have happen inthe fast food points his sawed off shotgun at pointblank range little unsecure and say (well here I don't translate the rude language I was useing as a GM) "Hit the floor". The player just describes what he gonna do. "Why should I" is the players answer, and then a complex manouver to grab the shotgun and point it upwards and kick the first goon on the spoot that all woman like to kick a goon at. The other two goons with baseball bats get alerted at the same time while both barrels from the sawed off hits the roof and some moments later the three goons are badly beaten up. Then she just go to the counter where the cashier has been standing doing more or less the moves like a pantomine the char has made as a raw copy. The cashier says only "wow you are my hero! you saved my day!", the char just asks "can I have the burger meal with an extra soda..."....
The memorable part was when the player described the manouvers for the "fight" and the other players just sat there thinking and you almost could cut the thought with a knife "this player is tired of his char and wants it dead", and then the answer from me (as a secret understanding with the char) you know that this might not work so well for you are you sure you wanna try ?
