Pretty much what it says on the tin! I think we could have some fun with this, in part through multiple interpretations of the same character. No SL restrictions, no gear restrictions -- just what you think is characterful. I'll start off with the obvious and post some Lord of the Rings ones. Remember, these aren't made for pure effectiveness, but for characterfulness.
Aragorn
Aragorn's a tough nut, but he's still human, ergo the relatively "low" strength score. I gave him Sunlight Blade to represent Anduril, which has more "called" power than constant power in the books. In fact, the books treat it like a sword that occasionally becomes a lightsaber, so that's where that's coming from. Wrath of the Gods is there to represent Aragorn's combat presence and his capacity to both deal with and demoralise a group of adversaries at once. No shield, of course, although he used one for a short period in The Two Towers. The armour and alternate equipment are all up for alteration, of course, but I think this ultimately represents the character pretty well.
Boromir
This guy is just about as powerful as human beings get in Middle Earth. He's just a bother to actually take down, and I've tried to represent that here. Where Aragorn is a nimble, aggressive swordsman, Boromir is the better "tank", and said to be the heftiest member of the Fellowship. I was trying to think of a way to represent the Horn of Gondor, but nothing really came to mind, unfortunately.
Legolas
In the books, this guy only has one knife -- the White Knife, and that's Priscilla's Dagger here. While he was a good warrior in the books, he wasn't nearly the best, and his skills are more suited towards survival in Mirkwood. His elvish advantages come through the choice of rings, which give him the capacity to move unhampered by poor terrain and increase his range with a bow. He's less a dedicated warrior on his own and more a part of the team's support, so he can't survive for that long.
Gimli
The Fellowship's tankiest tank of all tanks, Gimli is based around not caring about getting hit and then dishing it back out. The build is similar in many aspects to Boromir, but at a lower level while still having superior defensive abilities. Gimli doesn't hit as hard as the human members of the Fellowship, but he's an exceedingly powerful frontliner.
Gandalf
This guy doesn't feel right without both high faith and intelligence. Great Magic Weapon is there to represent his ancient elvish sword, which glows in the presence of dark servants (or just orcs, it's not quite clear). You could potentially give him any number of spells slots and spells, but I chose those ones based on stuff we see in the books and how he tends to operate in general, relying more on support than pure offensive power.
Ringwraith
Why Gravelord Sword Dance? Well, they need the scream, don't they? Apart from that, I think the Dark Hand was too cool and characterful not to use. Same with the Black Knight gear, too, which is in line with their description in the books. Obviously, the Fellowship above would have one hell of a time trying to down these guys -- thus why they ran, presumably, and were only saved by a force of nature going "lolnope" to the wraiths.
Feel free to add your own and all that. Dark Souls provides us with some great opportunity for creativity, so let's see it, eh?
