Game characters, if they were seeking employment in the real world?

[Rai^3]

I imagine Andrew Ryan could be a successful douchewriter.

 

[twistedmic]

Provided he can pass the drug tests, Mario would probably go back to being a plumber. And I can see James Heller becoming a very effective bouncer or bodyguard.

 

[Daget Sparrow]

On a serious note, Sonic would obviously make a good athlete. However, he'd probably get disqualified for being a blue hedgehog, become bitter and depressed, mooch off Tails (who would of course become a genius in the field of aeronautic engineering) and ultimately die alone and unloved in some pool somewhere, his last thoughts being of his better days when he was still a hero.

Depressed?

Sounds like modern day Sonic games nowadays.

 

[Lilani]

I think most of them would be checking that little box on the application that asks if you're a convicted felon. Link would never be hired at any place with pottery or unopened boxes, Kirby would have to avoid restaurants, and Gordon Freeman wouldn't do so well as a telemarketer.

 

[King of Asgaard]

An easy one, Big Boss would train recruits in any army worldwide.
They'd be lucky to have someone of his caliber on their side.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Now all I can think of is the huge looming evil from some JRPG begin employed in Consumer service and sitting behind a desk as a little old grandma lady shakes in fear from the other side.

Anyways, I can see the various protagonists from assassin's creed setting up the most efficient pest control business that you've ever seen. (Just be sure to remove all pets form the premises before calling them in or they might get carried away).

 

[TaintedSaint]

Master chief could join the dallas Cowboys as a linemen he is like 8ft tall.
Shinobi ninja guy I forgot his name can become a pro knife thrower.
The rampage Monster guys can go work for a movie studio.

 

[Shuguard]

Issac Clarke (Dead Space) would be a story-teller. Hopefully not one for kids.

The main character from dark souls would be a crash test dummy.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

Nathan Drake would be an archaeology professor of course.

And Cole MacGrath, an electrician.

 

[Ryotknife]

well, gordon freeman should be set

PhD in theoretical physics.

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

Link would make an awesome handyman. And probably a good PI as well.

He could team up with Navi and start a firm.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Oh yeah, new thought: the kid from Bastion would either be a demolitions expert or he could just join the army. Everyone else from that game has a pretty obvious profession, although I don't think day care existed in Caelondia - that's where I'd put the narrator.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Karan Sjet - I don't know, IT support?

 

[Your Fearless Captain]

I can see a warrior class Dovahkin going far in military service. Or as a coffee fetcher in an office.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Kratos... Butcher? What the hell else are you going to do with swords practically welded to your wrists?

We're in the 21st century man, we have cutting torches!

Truth.

So then how about motivational speaker or suicide hotline crisis counselor?

I don't think that crisis councillor is a good idea.... "Oh, you're feeling depressed? Well, I was manipulated by a god into killing my own family and did I cry about it? No! I killed that god, became a god myself, and then killed all the other gods too! Quit your whining!"

 

[Chairman Miaow]

The Medic would be, what else? A doctor.

Don't worry, ribs grow back!
[small]They don't...[/small]

Yeah, I'll pass on that thanks.

 

[Chairman Miaow]

Commander Shepard would just endorse things and live off the freebies.

I'm Commander Shepard, and these are my favourite Raisin Bran on the planet!

 

[LadyRhian]

Duke Nukem- Pimp (he gets all the girls) or pest service employee (he's good at killing stuff)

Master Chief- Motivational Speaker

And I have to add this link, just because- relevance! http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/71

Pyramid Head- Traffic Cone.

 

[dragsaw]

so more or less this http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/71

edit: BALLS! ninjaed

 

[Biodeamon]

Alex Mercer as a stunt double would suit him quite well, provided that he has to eat the original actor.

And matt hazard would make for a good stand-up comedian.
