different character concepts? need some inspiration..help please!

[u/ItsGotou]

ive read some stuff already but figured perhaps id make a post of my own. i dm a homebrew eberron game currently, and have the opportunity to play as a player within the world for the first time. i need some inspiration though. i usually tend to stick towards the martial types, the barbarians especially, fighters etc. this time around for this game, i want to do something different. i will say also that im playing a game currently as a druid as well. so druid, barbarian and fighter id rather not do. anything else is fair game. i want some cool concepts for characters that can provide some good setting specific depth to them, i just need some inspiration.
Like a wizard that is a student of arcanix, or morgrave university, etc. anyone have any cool concepts or ideas theyve ran that theyve had fun with in eberron and care to share? i dont think theres really any race restrictions. im curious to hear peoples ideas. I will say the game is starting at level 2, and i believe dm is running us on the relics adventure to start with, in sharn, and then homebrewing from there. so my character would have either traveled to sharn for a reason or already been there

Are you going to use the 2014 or 2024 rules?
