One of the greatest ways to pass some time with friends is by making your way through a fantasticDungeons and Dragonscampaign. Since anything can happen in the average campaign, you may have wondered what your favorite characters would do if they were a part of your campaign.

Heck, you may have even made a dedicated character who was made to let you roleplay in D&D as your favorite game character. Since someone like Samus can be so mysterious, it can be fun to wonder what she’d do if she let some fantastic nerd energy wash over her to play some D&D,even if she’d just rather stay home.
10Doom Guy - Lawful Good Barbarian
After all these years ofabsolutely annihilating demons, sometimes with his bare hands, I thinkDoom Guywould be interested in calming down a bit. That leads me to believe he’d play the most straight and narrow lawful good barbarian possible.
He’d have all of his enemies at his mercy, but he’d only do as much damage as necessary. He’d only pick fights with the worst of the worst, but he’d probably also end up apologizing for what he was about to do to his foes.
9Mario - Chaotic Neutral Paladin
A paladin is perfect forMario. He could play a character that would be willing to put himself at risk in order to protect his friends. The spin on that is that Mario would absolutely be chaotic the entire time.
He’d be playing by his own rules the entire campaign. Who needs weapons when he can be a burly Paladin that chooses to only jump on his foe’s heads? The neutral bit comes in when his companions are around because if there’s one thing we know about Mario, it’s that he’s willing to let Yoshi fall to leap even higher.
8Cloud Strife - Neutral Ranger
Having absolutely no excitement to be a part of a campaign,Cloud Strifewould absolutely choose to match his own personality, resulting in a neutral ranger. Everyone around him could be in a life-or-death fight,but his only reaction would be, “whatever.”

He’d want that kind of loner attribute to his character since Cloud is edgy, as always. He’d probably wind up in the exact situations he would in the game, in serious trouble alone, needing some help from a few friends to survive. Let’s just hope he wouldn’t roleplay an amnesiac.
7Albert Wesker - Chaotic Evil Druid
There’s absolutely no wayAlbert Weskerwouldn’t be as chaotic as possible in a game like Dungeons and Dragons. At every opportunity, Wesker would be that guy scheming to figure out exactly how to make every situation worse with whatever magic he has available.
His group wouldn’t even need a predetermined campaign to follow because, the odds are, Wesker would create the problem that the group would need to fix. Yes,Wesker would be every Dungeon Master’s worst nightmare, and he would love every second of it.
6Little Mac - Neutral Good Fighter
Little Mac also seems like the kind of straight-laced person who would want to play as a version of himself fromPunch-Out. To be fair, that would give his character a really interesting backstory. Willing to do whatever it takes to win a world championship could easily fit into Dungeons and Dragons.
The simplicity of the character type would keep Little Mac invested in the game, even if he had a weird obsession with the mysterious villain Mr. Dream. His in-game backstory writes itself, something that would be good for someone who has taken as many shots to the head as the iconic boxer.
5Tom Nook - Lawful Evil Rogue
It might be true that no other character type and alignment better suits someone like the walking meme himself,Animal Crossing’sTom Nook. The little crook would make trouble for your group the entire campaign with his greed for money and other various treasures.
The whole group could be in the midst of a heated battle, and Nook would probably be negotiating his way to all the spoils in return for two rolls worth of help. That’s even if he decided to go with the group instead of starting his own money-making empire in one of the nearby towns.
4Johnny Cage - Neutral Evil Sorceror
Johnny Cage has been spending so much time inMortal Kombatgetting his butt whopped by evil sorcerers that he’d probably want to see what it’s like to wield that kind of power. The problem is, he wouldn’t know what to even do with the character without some kind of script, so he’d end up being a pretty stereotypical evil sorcerer.
He’d be the guy in the group who makes learning anything about your task an absolute nightmare. Somehow he’d get all the best rolls and end up obliterating anyone who looked at him the wrong way before you could learn where to head next. The great sorcerer Ninja-Mime would be an absolute terror.
3Kratos - Neutral Good Cleric
Much like Doom Guy,God Of War’sKratos would probably want to experience what life is like for people who aren’t quite so interested in killing everyone around them. The problem is, he also probably wouldn’t understand the point of the game and end up as a deeply confused, neutral good cleric.

The character could let Kratos flex some creative muscles,utilizing the Greek Godsto justify why his character became a cleric, but he’d also probably get pretty shouty when he realizes his options are limited in a lot of situations.
2ClapTrap - Chaotic Evil Bard
Everyone knows thatBorderlands’ClapTrap loves to talk, so it wouldn’t be a shock to see the weird little robot make a chaotic evil bard. Realistically, the character would probably just be created for him in an effort to get him to be quiet for a few minutes.
The issue is that ClapTrap would be the one to get your group into all the trouble you find yourselves in throughout a campaign. Then he’d just call the rest of the group his minions and expect you to do all the fighting against a group of creatures you’re severely ill-equipped to deal with. That sounds about right.
1Ren Amamiya - Chaotic Good Rogue
ThePersona 5protagonist would absolutely be interested in role-playing as himself. He’d no doubt have his entire backstory set upwhere he led a band of thieves, but he’d end up spending all of his time in town.
Who needs to adventure when Ren can spend all of his time building relationships with random characters who have absolutely no relevance to the plot of the campaign that the Dungeon Master has laid out? Ren would probably end up with all kinds of fantastic items without ever stepping out into a dungeon.
