Seeking unique class for a full play though.

Greetings! New to BG, D&D and the forums.
I have a fair grasp on the mechanics of the game thusfar. I did a speed run and beat the first BGEE as a cavalier with a party of four on the easiest settings to get the hang of things. I have also done tons of research on the forums so I have an idea of the outline of my goal character.
I would really like to dig in now. I want to enjoy the game to it's fullest with a completionist run from one to three as the same character. I have a few odd but unmoving stipulations, but am otherwise open to suggested classes with a brief explanation why!
- I want to play an elf or half-elf, human as a last resort. I like the sprites the best and will have to look at them for quite a while.
- I don't hate robes, but I prefer the look of leather and chain armor.
- No dual classing, multi-classing sounds fun though. I have weighed the pros and cons and dual is not for me.
Unique classes. I really want to play a well rounded character that I likely won't see much of in NPCs. I enjoy adding and dropping party members, and being self sufficient in-between. I don't want the best or strongest class; but not gimped either. I want diverse gameplay that stays fresh, but still presents a challenge. I have considered Beast Master, Avenger, Bard of some sort, or a F/T/M thusfar.
Thank you in advance to any suggestions or responses I receive!!!

The blade can solo through the saga with little problem and has a fast growing, FMT is more versatile, but he grows slower. This does not mean that he will have 1/3 of the level of a bard, as the relation XP/level is not linear, he will have on average 2 levels less for each class, but will have some points where the things get slower and he will have to wait a long time for getting some spell levels and abilities (ie he gets the better backstab multiplier very late).
That said, I would say a Swashbuckler/mage multiclass... It is very close to the F/M/T but being only a M/T with a kit, level progression wouldn't be as mush as a hassle.
If you want THE ULTIMATE TANK, in my point of view, play a Dwarven Defender/Cleric multiclass... Ok, it is not an elf type... but hell, it can take a beating like no one.
For half-elf most of the above and also a lot of what people have said already is definitely true, avengers, the various bards, cleric/thoof, and of course fighter/druid are also all pretty neat and flexible enough that you can fill a lot of different roles with your character to pick up the NPCs you like most.
