Let's do a meme!
Fellow nexus players, I'd like to ask you a very serious and complex question on the subject of characterization: when invited to play an RPG with friends, what class would your character play?
Mind you, this is not about what RPG class best fits your character's actual skills and abilities. This is about what they'd pick in a game of let's-pretend, and what sort of player they'd be. For example, maybe your normal human with no unusual abilities is actually the worst sort of wizard powergamer once the dice start rolling. Or maybe your shy, quiet little bookworm turns out to only play giant, loud, and very angry barbarians, which no one else in the group saw coming. Beware the quiet ones, kids.
If you aren't familiar with classic RPG classes or just need a refresher, here are a few lists from different tabletop systems to get you rolling:
3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons
Pathfinder
4th edition Dungeons and Dragons
Or pick your own! Maybe the best fit is a class from another tabletop RPG, or one of the old Final Fantasy games, or from an MMO you're playing now. The exact details aren't that important - just be sure you find us a link to a wiki page or something, if one's available, so we can see what you're talking about.

Steve's a creative guy and I can definitely see him playing something silly and out there such as an anthropomorphic raccoon with a gun fetish.
While I can't settle on a class that would be the most interesting to him, I can say he'd put so much effort and detail into any character he made, and it would not be 'typical' by any means. He'd be the guy playing the barbarian who thinks he's a wizard.
