I saw this thread on another forum and thought it would be cute. The way it works is, someone posts a song (and YouTube link if possible, especially if the song is obscure), and the next poster responds with a character type that fits the song, and a short 1-2 sentence explanation why, then he posts a song of his own.

This was a lot of fun, because some characters are inspired by songs for some people. I know I got the idea for a Hexblade I played from hearing Turn the Page (Bob Seger's version) on the way home from work.

Merits can be anything - the lyrics, even the feel of the song.

Example:
Someone might post: Led Zepplin, Stairway to Heaven

Second Post might be: Gnome Cleric of Garl Glittergold. What other priest would actually want to buy a stairway to heaven? Then the second poster posts another song.

I'll start us off:

Listening to the song, I kind of got an image of a guy with sunglasses riding a motocycle. Of course, motorcycles aren't very common in most campaigns, so...Personality-wise, I would think of a wild berserker-type, who always acted really cool and shoots off witty one-liners all the time in mid-battle. A Human Barbarian or Great Weapon Fighter...whenever I try to think of a name I suddenly think of Kamina from Gurren Langan and start laughing at his ridiculous glasses.

This song has a very tranquil, happy feel. It reminds me of Howard Shore's "Concerning Hobbits" from the Lord of the Rings Soundtrack. I imagine some sort of pleasant naturey type person, such as a cleric of Melora or maybe a Good druid or ranger. Very rustic feeling and pleasant.

Next song: Dubbledge - Lips 2 Da Floor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXxLbLvCRrk)

Ok, never heard that song before, but It immediately got me thinking classical music, so high intelligence so wizard maybe. But the hokey synthesized music made me think bad thoughts. I would go with an Artificer who carries a mechanical harp as an implement or something like that. I would also stat him out with Dex as a low stat. kinda clumsy.

My goddess that screams artful dodger! the smooth of the jazz withthe pile of boddies, and the knife references add so well to a dagermaster PP.

"Layla, you've got me on my knees.
Layla, I'm begging, darling please.
Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind..."

Dominating controller/striker? Warlock (has dominate right?) Maybe a fear inducing class?

Mac the Knife?

"Now on the sidewalk … uuh, huh … whoo … sunny mornin’ … uuh, huh
      Lies a body just oozin' life … eeek!
      And someone’s sneakin' ‘round the corner
      Could that someone be Mack the Knife?"

I say Brutal Scoundral rogue with a dash of charisma tossed in. Yeah, he kills you....but he is a cool cat, and you don't mind lol.

Definitely an Infernal Warlock. Prolly Tiefling for race, but an especially vicious-looking dragonborn could also fit. Too bad neither of those races have a CON bonus. The Howl of Doom power comes to mind.

it is a rather fast paced piece, so striker is the way to go, it also has greater clasical and flowing overtones, so some sortof caster striker. I say half elf starpact warlock.

Take this: Caramell - Caramelldansen.
