And LN? Please. He's as LG as the come.He's been coming off awfully CG, at least recently.
"I'm loyal to nothing, General...except the Dream."
I see your point and I could go along with that maybe. He's closer to CG than LN.
I still argue for LG. You can be Lawful without necessarily respecting the law. In fact, a LG character is required by his/her conscience to disobey unjust laws. He fights for the ideals of America; America as it should be rather than America as it is. He has discipline and a strong moral code. Even when he was branded a traitor by the government in Civil War, his primary concern was still helping people like he had always done. He chose not to attack the government except to liberate his friends and even encouraged crime-fighting despite it dividing his attention.
Captain America is one of the best examples in my mind of LG as it's meant to be played.

As for more funny ideas, stumbled across this starting Here and ending here.
I guess humans/elves/orcas get [souls] because of their innate human/elf/orca-ness or something but I'm not seeing as much interest in that beyond a tiny sidebar about souls in a larger thing.
"Orcas". Was that a result of spell-checker tyranny? :)
Have you been to Belkzen recently? The entire place is one big sea. No land animals at all any more. Controlled by tribes of killer whales.

Whether or not the existence of celestial and fiendish template killer whales on the summon monster list is a point in favor of orcas having souls I leave up to the Jesuits.
These posts are just shameless Mikaze bait. I heartily approve. :)Have you been to Belkzen recently? The entire place is one big sea. No land animals at all any more. Controlled by tribes of killer whales.An aquatic nation run by awakened cetaceans? That could be hot. Better than Outsea, really.

And now I'm all for the land of awakened cetaceans. Because a sperm whale with ten levels of blood rager sounds pretty good.
These killer whales have levels in ninja, 'cause nothing says 'the GM hates you' like a killer whale with sneak attack and vanishing trick.

Back in the AD&D 2nd Ed days, I played a gruff, no-nonsense, cigar-chomping, lightly-armoredd, crossbow-specialist paladin. He wandered the countryside defending the weak against the striong, according to his own sense of justice.
The character was was loosely based on the Clint Eastwood character "The Man With No Name" from the Sergio Leone spaghetti western trilogy (A Fistful of Dollars; A Few Dollars More; and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.)

A Mime,
Zon-Kuthon worshipping Bard (street performer archetype)
A halfling barbarian with a two-handed greataxe of large size that he won in wrestling match with a giant?
I thought summoner would work but that works betterCalvin and Hobbs,

I'm sticking to my Summoner guns here. Calvin doesn't have the Wisdom score to be a Druid (that's a big part of Hobbes' function, after all: to serve as Calvin's prosthetic modicum of common sense) - on the other hand, he does seem to have the Intelligence and/or Charisma to be a passable arcane magician.
Also: A high-Charisma Halfling Barbarian with the Childlike feat and maximum Intimidate ranks - more or less, the baby from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?.
On space armor: there are many different kinds of material in the universe to make armor out of rather then metal, aliens would seem the type to find it.
Calvin is wiser then people give him credit for:)
and i really really hate f#&!ing piece of s~~@ Summoners so i will also stick to my Druid idealization:)

There is something to be said for a low Wisdom - think of the gaming systems (GURPS and Vampire: The Masquerade, for example) where DMs are encouraged to allow for the possibility that if a character is insane enough, they wind up warping Reality!
I think the key thing that works against a Druid interpretation of C&H is that the animal companion can't be intelligent. If awakened, it no longer qualifies to be an animal companion (as it's now a Magical Beast, rather than an Animal). Hobbes is far, far too smart to be an INT 2 creature.
If you're adamant against the Summoner solution, your next best bet is having them be two separate characters, a human and an awakened tiger. No idea what classes they'd be though. Calvin might be a Taskshaper with his ability to mimic all sorts of other classes and turn into dinosaurs and stuff =P
okay, Orthos you have a point i never looked that deeply into awakening animals, which i find a bit funny considering every party we've had except one has had Druids, i still hate summoners tho:)
Sterling Archer,
Chelish Rogue (rake Archetype)
Yeah your best bet otherwise is to stat Calvin as some sort of multitalented shapeshifter and Hobbes... man I don't even know, he might not even have a class, just be advancing his racial HD or something.
Mythic Weretiger maybe:)

This is the character I want to play for Hell's Rebels.
A short but super voluptuous female dwarf Red Mantis assassin. That image just seems funny to me. Red Mantis mask and gear on a short stumpy body with giant boobs.

A party consisting of Minsc and Boo, Nordom, and Grobnar.
A strange variant Wizard who has maximum ranks in Linguistics, enjoys the benefits a permanent expeditious retreat spell, and is otherwise only capable of casting one spell ever - but that spell is limited wish, and he can cast it with no material component required. His name is Rincewind.

This is a character that one of my players has already made for my upcoming Savage Tide game. Gestalt Paladin|Rogue.
I think a catfolk paladin would be hilarious. Ser Percival Mewidon- ser Purrrrrrcival at your service! Noble defender, and champion of the order of the yarn.
A Vanara drunken master. The drunk monkey! The most feared warrior in the land indeed...
A ditzy sylph air sorceress- a powerful spell-caster, though somewhat air-headed, if you know what I mean. (~_^)
