One of the things we do in my campaign is assign an actor to 'play' important characters. This is useful because it provides a visual or personal frame of reference for players (and me) and it's also kinda fun. However, it's not always easy. Can the panel help me out here? I'm looking for actors to play the following people. My campaign is set aboard a sailing ship, just FYI.
1. The ship's third mate and the henchman of the captain. He comes from a middle-class background in a very male-dominated society. He's very much the strong, silent type and having never left his home island he's encountering a world very different from what he imagined. He is a half-elven Ranger.
2. The ship's resident gnome engineer. Think of your standard gnome tinkerer and combine him with Professor Frink from the Simpsons. White haired, bearded and slightly chubby, he is a Rock Gnome Expert. The actor that plays him does not need to be short - Lord of the Rings proved that one with a 6' human playing a dwarf.
3. A former but recurring crewman, who isa playwright and author and artist and lots of other things. He wrote a play that I based loosely on Shakespeare, for instance. The key element here is aristocracy - the character is a complete snob, upper-class twit stiff-arsed British type. He needs to be quite young though - no more than 30 or so. The character is a human Aristocrat.
4. Although they haven't appeared yet, I want actresses to play two of the gods who are fighting out their cosmic battle. One is the good goddess of magic, who needs to be a young, pretty, probably blonde woman but with a kind of mystical quality. Her evil opposite, the evil goddess of magic, needs to have a dark quality to her (think Dark Willow) as well as a 'I'll kick your arse back to Thursday' demeanour.
Can you folks help me out here? Thanks a bundle.
