The anime "Overlord" is currently in its third season of production. As a recent viewer and lover of the series, I've been wanting to convert some of the main 'heroes' of the series into potential PCs and NPCs.
My experience with all the prestige classes aren't great, as well as archtypes and special racial favored class bonuses. I can't really say for 100% certainty what class and race would be best for each individual character.
The most accurate character I could come up with would be Cocytus. My idea would be that he'd be a Shobhad Barbarian with the Dreadnought archtype. Ideally, he'd be wearing Mithral Fullplate, as it'd count as as Medium armor (Barbarians are proficient with only up to medium.) Likely, he'd dual wield two handed weapons in each set of arms.
I'd like opinions from other fans for conversions on Albedo, Shalltear, and other people. Go ham with the templates and concepts for this thought experiment

Overlord has some obvious inspiration from D&D.
10th tier magic = 9th level spell (spells go from 0 to 9 in PF)
Level 100/4 = CR 25 (considering that they are monsters seem appropriate)
-Momonga Mythic Lich LE Necromancer 20/MR 7 (CR 25)
-Albedo Succubus Antipaladin 18 (CR 25), she is the greatest defensive character according to the book. Antipaladin boost her defenses to all hell with her charisma and provides immunity to diseases like it is mentioned in her entry and also her Bicorn mount.
-Shalltear, Dread Vampire Cleric 20 +2 CR for Gear (Shalltear biggest strength is actually her ability to adapt to one on one duel, with her ridiculously amount of gear...but it requires prep) (CR 25, but usually 20 and possibly lower without proper preparation)
-Demiurge Unique Nascent Demon Lord(CR 25) , he is right at the limit of becoming an archfiend with PF benchmarks in mind. Still as a Nascent demon lord, he has considerable powers and abilities.
-Cocytus Ice Devil Fighter 12 (CR 25), a weapon master and great fighter.
-Sebas, Monk Dragon CR 25 , not sure what kind of dragon he is...hard to tell but he is supposedly as strong as the other floor guardians in dragon form. Which probably make him some kind of a Wyrm at least and not using the Monk class but the Monk creature template Which gives features of the Monk class.
-Aura Bella Young Dark Elf Beastmaster(3rd party class) 20/Marshall 9 (Unlike other floor guardians, Aura Bella and her brother are mostly class levels, not monster levels)
-Mare Bello Young Dark Elf Druid 20/Hierophant 9 (Mare is a contender one, if not for the strongest floor guardian)
Should be noted that most people in the setting of Overlord are way lower than the Tomb of Nazzarick characters...they are basically massacring all the lower level people.
Evil Eye for example, one of the greatest hero of the setting is around level 50 which puts her as a CR 12 or so threat.
actuly there ARE cahracter sheets with levels for them from offical site (not realy dnd but close enough to convort them) you can find them if you look around
for example some npc from the 12 episode of the light novel

Wow. I'm really impressed with Eltacolibre's choices. That shows a deep knowledge of Overlord from the Light Novels plus the extra material released.
One of the huge challenges in this sort of attempt is you're trying to fit 100 levels of MMORPG character into a 20ish level game. One of the strengths is the author heavily borrowed from AD&D (check out the spell names, not just the 10th level stuff but also the spells Sebas was buying from the guild) and even used several classic monsters as the basic for his own (like Cocytus is totally an Ice Devil!).
Glad you like my choices.
Even more if you consider that Ice Devil are originally from the ice layer...which is named Cocytus.
