[ooc]Here's the game. Pick a real person and, based on the name alone, give a brief description of their role in your upcoming fantasy-adventure blockbuster. Ten words maximum, not including the name itself.
I'll begin:[/ooc]
Evander Holyfield: traveling priest, protector of the poor, and occasional miracle-worker.
[ooc]Your turn.[/ooc]
William Gates: Guardian of a mystical portal.
George Bush: Shrubbery dealer.
Spiro Agnew: gnomish comic relief and/or ineffectual villain.
RIchard MILhouse NIXon: dwarven god of law and truth: he and his priests are actually utterly incapable of telling a lie or knowingly break the law. Karma's a bitch Dick.
Sean Connery: Rapier wielding duelist who has a part time job as a teacher at the local fighters guild.
Corin Nemec: Traveling gem trader, badass with a pickaxe
Bob Barker: Human barbarian with a deep love of whiskey
Richard Feynman: Traveling illusionist and merchant with a taste for drama.
Hugh Laurer (House) - A Wizard who solves Metaphysical mysteries no other sage can, who works with a talented and diverse team of adenturers who... oh nevermind...
Élisabeth Depardieu: High countess of Vardenshire, engaged to Baron Klosterman.
[ooc]Why Ms. Depardieu? I picked a spot on wikipedia and kept clicking until I got to a name I liked. In fact, it might make the game a bit more interesting to do something along those lines... (but with rules)[/ooc]
John Kennedy: Ship captain with a flair for pushing the limits
J.R.R. Tolkien: Replaces Ao as overgod any day.
Edward Gorey: Royal executioner.
Collin Ferrell - town crier and part-time jester
Tommy Hilfiger: Famous bandit.
Jim Carry: Pirate captain.
Jerry Seinfeld- a famous travelling bard/jester.
Arnold Schwarzenegger? Something like that. Iron Golem. :P
QuoteQuestion is this name alone or name and reputation of the name as well. Cause on name alone Johann Sebastian Bach could be a noble mage and leader of the local arcanists guild. By reputation though he would probably be a bard.

The sound of the name alone was my intention. But I guess if people are having fun doing other things in this thread, that's okay too? Casual Friday.
Amy Winehouse: tavern wench
Alec Baldwin: unscrupulous merchant from the North.
Alex Trebek: Sly merchant from the western lands.
Hmm. In that case... Kate Moss... a very unoriginal druidess.
Steven Colbert: Righteous Paladin of the Frozen Roads.
