For the upcoming campaign I'm in, the setting allows us to be from "any world or setting you wish. Whether a D&D setting, or the world from your favorite comic book or SciFi novel, or even from the real world." The only specifically disallowed choice is a Rancor Sith Lord. :P

If you could play anything or anyone as a PC character, who would it be?

Well the NPC (in a serious campain) is Chris P. Bacon, multi-class knight/marshal. He's an awakened boar.

How about this?

A super LG paladin named Algore. He struts around berating adventurers about the impact their torches are having on dungeon air quality and demanding emissions checks on the PC's horses.

He also speaks in a monotone and claims he invented magic.

I'd be Trogdor the Burninator. Take leadership to have Strongbad follow you around singing (he's obviously a bard).

That's... that's awesome! Does he smoke a pipe?

I'd have to say that either Rincewind or Nanny Og (both from Terry Pratchet's Discoworld series) would be hilarious to play. Especially Nanny Og.

Seriously, what are the limitations on this? What kind of character gen? Gestalt? What splat books?

Seriously? I asked if he was basically throwing the world of D20 sourcebooks at us and saying "go to town", and he said yes. I asked about ignoring LA so as to play a cooler race, and he said try to stay away from it, but didn't disallow it.

It's a 3rd level game. I had in fact already been thinking of an Awakened Baboon Wizard, but the well of inspiration is otherwise running dry for the moment here.

Off the top of my head, allowing any and all d20 source books, I would play a Neutral Good Awakened Lemur Monkey multiclass Druid/Jedi.

HELL YES!!! :D

No he does not. It's bad for his health (BTW when he was awakened he got 18 int, wis, and cha, no seriously).

ANYTHING? :|

I'd ask that first. After making sure I'd play Ginger Spice, a sassy female human bard.

Algore is also known to only travel in large caravans and will frequently contract dragons to fly him to his speaking engagements. Everyone knows dragons are fueled by beans. Algore is famous for hypocrisy. :D

Or, with liberal template use, you could play Algore's arch enemy: Manbearpig.

Anything d20? Hell. I'd play a Prophet from the the Pendulum's Promise game.

i had a similar thing happen to me for a short term epic game. except that we were limited to mostly dnd books still. I ended up with a templated gnome druid beast master who rode on top of a t-rex that had a laser(or machine gun) mounted to its skull with a virtual menagerie of animals around me that acted as mounts to other characters.

I've always had a lot of fun playing anti-stereotypes. So my suggestion is "Angelface" (real name unknown), NE Aasimar rogue.

No crime is is beneath this utterly selfish bastard. He uses the reputation of his race for being good guys and maxed out skill ranks in bluff to dispel any suspitions that he might be responsible for the crime wave that just hit the town. Placing false evidence or stolen goods in the homes of perfectly innocent citizens is a common ploy he uses. As the respectable citizen he is, it is of course his duty to inform the city watch about these suspicious items. His favorite scapegoats belong to races with half- or -ling in their names, especially halflings.

Being limited to just D20 material, I would have to go with a cyborg from the Deadlands Hell on Earth. Actually, I would do this even if i could use other systems...

A mage focused on using shout/greater shout to deafen his opponents, goes by Bilbo Righley

In the end he and algore talk each other to death and save us all the suffering of listening to them
