You have to assemble a 5 person band from any gaming characters you've played

[ResonanceSD]

Rule 1. No Rhythm game characters (Guitar Hero, Rock Band, you, from Frets on Fire, etc).
Rule 2. You can't use two characters from the same game Franchise.
Rule 3. You can't use "yourself" as a character.


I'll be tallying these up and putting out a "the escapist's favourite band"

So, here's mine.

Vocals - JC Denton (Deus Ex)
Lead Guitar - Zell Dincht (FF8)
Backing Guitar - Garrus Vakarian (Mass Effect)
Bass - Chell (Portal)
Drummer - Heavy (TF2)

 

[Simeon Ivanov]

Vocals - Gordon Freeman
Lead Guitar - Dante (Devil May Cry)
Backing Guitar - Duke Nukem
Bass - Garrus Vakarian
Drums - Goro (Mortal Kombat)

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Interesting! Ok, here we go...

Vocals - Johnson (Halo series)
Lead Guitar - Link (Legend of Zelda)
Bass Guitar - Lulu (Final Fantasy X)
Synth - HK-47 (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic)
Drums - Goro (Mortal Kombat)

 

[Evil_Weevil]

Thinking a metal band, or a sludge band (Mastodon, Baroness etc)

Vocals - Kratos (God of War)
Lead Guitar - Dante (DMC)
Rhythm Guitar - Gordon Freeman (Half Life)
Bass - Samus Aran (Metroid)
Drummer - Crash Bandicoot (Crash Bandicoot)

Logic goes: Kratos is archetypal scowling hardcore frontman; Dante is flamboyant and edgy P) enough to play lead; Gordy gets to play rhythm because he's quiet and unshowy but fucking badass; Samus plays bass because she's the one with the biggest arsenal and therefore the biggest (and lowest) sound; Crash plays drums because he's Crash and he's the video game equivalent of Animal from the Muppets.

 

[Nami nom noms]

Vocals - Leiliana (Dragon Age: Origins)
Lead Guitar - Squall (FF8)
Backing Guitar - Albert Wesker (Resident Evil)
Bass - Aqua (Kingdom Hearts: BBS)
Drums - Lady (Devil May Cry 3)

 

[Jailbird408]

This is the reason I want to see Nintendo Presents Guitar Hero. Link on vocals, Mario on guitar, Fox on bass, Meta knight on drums. I want to see this made yesterday. Because Barbara the Bat.

TOO MUCH HAIR =D

 

[Trivun]

Vocals/Lead Guitar - Beatrice (the Umineko series)
Rhythm Guitar - Eleanor Lamb (Bioshock 2)
Bass Guitar - Chell (Portal 2, when she actually looks attractive with the improved graphics)
Drums - Paine (Final Fantasy X-2)
Keyboard - Rikku (Final Fantasy X - different game, technically, so still counts! HAH!)

And if we can choose who does things like the sound and lighting and such, I'd have April Ryan (The Longest Journey) on stage design and as manager and whatnot. She's an art student, after all, so she'd be good with that. Also, it fits with my aim at making the band full of young attractive females. Hey, it's a band, I want it to be popular for the charts - and sex sells, right?

If I could choose any fictional character rather than just gaming characters, by the way, I'd have Hannelore from QC on drums. Again, fits the aim and theme, and she actually plays drums in QC, so yeah...

EDIT: Also, the band would play mostly indie and alternative rock/folk, and would be called Broken Dream. And yes, I did make that name up just this minute, and yes, Dreamfall did inspire me a little bit...

 

[Veldel]

Vocals: Soundwave (tranformers)
Lead Guitar: Dante (Devil May Cry Series)
Back up Guitar: Eddie Riggs (Brutal Legend)
Bass: Bass (Rockman Series)
Everything Else: Pinkie Pie (MLP:FiM) She had a DS game so she counts

This shall be the most awsome band ever not to mention hypnotising :3

Another disqualified customer! Well that's not what they usually say, but you get a special line.
