    I think that there are many people throughout our history who resemble characters (or classes)in fantasy worlds. I would like to hear who you think resembles who.
    OK I'll start: Rasputin (Tsar Nicholas II's psychotic 'adviser') would be a NE Necromancer.
    George Bush would be... a peasant, and Clint Eastwood (when younger) would be Wolverine from the Marvel Universe.

    [​IMG] Arnold Schwarzenegger would definitely match the barbarian he portrayed several times...

    Eddie Murphy fits the trickster archetype, and with his (less-promoted) singing capabilities, he would make a good bard.

    Where would Michael Jordan, or any basketball player, fall under?

    I haven't got all my marbles together right now (I'm sneaking this while I'm under the eye of my boss). I'll post when I'm free :)

    Giovanni Cassonova would have to be a CN Gnome (not dissimilar, I would think, to Bertrand the "Companion" :D)

    I've thought of a couple more:

    J. C. Van Dam (sp?) as Gambit (marvel un.) and Scott Steiner (wrestler) as Stongman (X-Factor anyone? - marvel)

    Edwin reminds me of a KGB soviet scientist.
    Red Wizards of Thay = Red Army USSR anyone?

    How about that rodent that lives on my street as Boo? ;)

    Maybe get that other rodent to act as Boo's lover. ;)

    Hehehe...

    Jim Carrey would be Xzar in BG1, and Laurence Fishburne(Morpheus of the Matrix)could be Valygar.

    ADAM SANDLER as ANOMEN! Hehehe. :lol: (I think I've just insulted Adam Sandler) :D

    For those who caught that cheesy vampire flick "Bordello of Blood", Angie Everhart can be a vampire anytime!

    Dan Quayle would be Neeber's and Noober's dad. :lol:

    Um, the Pope could be... a cleric? (Duh!)

    :roll:

    Erm... what that sopposed to be funny????

    [Was your post supposed to have something to do with the topic? - BTA]

    [This message has been edited by Blackthorne TA (edited September 27, 2001).]

    Fine, I'll *make* it part of the topic.
    I don't think Adam Sandler would make a good Anomen. Anyways, I would probably make like BTA the head of the Cowled Wizards. ;) (no offense meant)

    [​IMG] Hmmm, how about Boo as Picachu? I just have to say that ;) Too bad Boo can't shock his oponents

    Arnold Schwarzenegger fits in the Half ogre race: Big and Dumb.

    Ernesto Hoost (K1 fighter) as a Half Ogre too, only after a few fireballs from a random wizzard, haven't seen any black Ogre's in any world yet :aaa:

    David Letterman can pass for an half elf bard
