The shop owner who is slow-witted enough to let the hero steal from him but also has some sort of super-magic that kills the hero in the blink of an eye if he ever comes back. Yeah, the shopkeep from one of the Gameboy Zelda games.
..If he could kill Link in a heartbeat..why was he not 1) Out being the bloody hero or 2) Hired by the evil people?

I'd live in a hidden cabin in the forest, and if you managed to find me and talk to me, all I would say is my name.
Passed out drunk in a bar.
Or Homeless man passed out drunk in the ally.
Or Guard whom you get around by giving him booze so he can pass out drunk in the hallway.

I'd be something like the Turks: officially working for the bad guys, but really just ambling around the world helping/hindering and wreaking havoc and chaos. Mercaneries.
The guy that is doing the mission you're doing, 100 meters ahead of you, buying/bribing/stealing things to make sure you can only do this or that. I buy all the missile launcher ammo from that vendor guy so you have to kill someone else to get some. And I bribe doors so that they only open when you get the key, instead of just blowing a hole in them.
I'd be the male love interest who in the name of all that is cliched either get killed half way through the story or, and by or I mean most definitely, be taken hostage/prisoner by the big bad of the game and be converted to the side of evil to give the Heroine a choice between either killing me or attempting to persuade me back to the side of good with the power of love. Or I would be the party member that has for nearly the entirety of the story been working for the BBEG and proceeds to appear to betray the Hero/Heroine to him but really perform a heroic sacrifice at the last moment to save them. Or possibly be the voice in the head of the Hero/Heroine who attempts to bring them about to his way of looking while hitting on anything with two legs we come across.
I want to be the vendor that buys fucking everything. Some broadsword you found? Check. Murloc eyes? Keep 'em coming. Your soul? ...well, why not. I don't really have a use for it, but since you're here I don't think you're getting much use out of it. But when you stop and think, that NPC is richer than anyone could ever dream to be...
Or maybe I would be a Fast Zombie. Let's face it, the normal zombie is fun to smack around and Poison Zombies are gross and have the really creepy headcrabs but the Fast Zombie is the most freaky zombie in Half Life 2. How they look and the whooping noise along with the 'eyyyyarrrgh!' shout when they attack. Nightmare Fuel, plain and simple.
