Character names from popular music

[Darth K'Trava]

I've been kicking around a character concept for a while.
He's a former cleric turned rogue named Mike Stipe.
After losing his religon he became a thief, his specialty is hiding in dark corners.
So when the party is looking for him he can just say "That's me in the corner."
He's a shiny happy person.

ROFLMAO



You should do it. If nothing else, to see if anyone catches it....

I had a character named Ebeneezer "'eezer" Goode. My 6-year old daughter had a Jedi character named Aliya (her spelling.)

When I played Shadowrun, I had an elven mage whose streetname was The Edge (lead guitar in U2). He had two contacts to buy magical supplies from: Sahara Jack (from Bon Jovi's 99 In The Shade) and Mustang Sally ("Ride, Sally, Ride!").

As for Shakira, her full name is even better for a character: Shakira Mebarak! Plus she looked better (and did better music) in her early days, with her loooong black hair and moody guitar.

Johnny B Goode?

Felina - the mexican girl in the song El Paso saga and one of the longest songs your likely to hear

Whachu talkin' bout, main? El Paso is only 4:40 - I get longer songs with my breakfast cereal. Unless you're adding the 4:12 for the sequel song, "El Paso City"? In which case that's still only 8:52 - shorter than Stairway, or almost anything Meat Loaf ever had a hit with, but respectable.

From out of nowhere, Felina has found me
Kissing my check as she kneels by my side
Craddled by two loving arms that I die for
One little kiss and Fel-in-a, goodbye

I do love that song. And its amazing how many people who claim not to like country know that one and "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash, and will sing along.

Shouldn't that be Willis?

 

[Torm]

Only Torm would call a character "Macarena"..... :\

I wouldn't, but it is an unusual name, so I included it.

I'd rather roll up "(K)Night Ranger." Motorin'.

Yeah.

Motorin'.

"Willis talkin' bout, main?"

No. That doesn't make any sense.

Sorry yes I know El Paso and El Paso city aren't all that long. I was in fact referring to the song Felina (a third song in the saga) which iirc is something like 12 minutes - on its own. Apparently Felina was the original mexican song that inspired El Paso (and thus El Paso city) its quite obscure and every time I try to google I get El PAso hits!

But what's a knight ranger? Some kind of multiclass option between fighter and ranger with a focus on mounted combat? A ranger with the cavalier prestige class? I'm not real clear on what kind of character Motorin is.
