I've committed to another 5e game ( Storm King's Thunder) and I'm not at all sure what kind of character to make. All I know is that I want to do something different from last time which was a Half-Orc Barbarian who was raised by wolves (which worked very well).

I've looked though the Player's Guide but have come up with only vague ideas. I'm looking first for something that's basically functional but then I need some sort of "shiny" element to hang the character on.

Last time the Half-Orc and the Barbarian were the mechanically strong combo but it was the Raised by Wolves that set the character's personality.

This would only be my second 5e character though I took the last one to the end of the adventure (Curse of Strahd) at level 10. I know some of you have more experience than that. So what has worked (or not worked) for you?
