Suggest Celebrity Rimworlders for me

[KalkiKrosah]

I've loaded up Prepare Carefully and am in the process of making some custom colonists in the likeness of their real world counter parts. I have over 60 celebrities I saved templates for including Rihanna, Cesar Milan, Gary Busey, Danielle Brigoli & Bear Grylls to name a few. I'd like to hear what celebrities you guys can think up of who would translate well into a Rimworld representation. I may or may not end up doing a steam colony about this if I can get enough of them made up.

Just one little caveat: I like my Rimworlders to be currently alive or if they are dead they would atleast be at a useful age. In other words I would be willing to make a version of Anthony Bourdain who passed away earlier this year, but I would not be willing to make Hitler who would be over 100 years old if he was alive today.

Hmm... I wouldn't call any of those celebrities, more like tv notables.
But, I wouldn't mind seeing more legendary character types that would fit the Rimworld theme, such as Eastwood's Man with no name, or Charles Bronson's Deathwish role, or even Arnie's Terminator for example ;)

Tom Cruise. And he would need the "Scientologist" Trait. A trait which will turn out to be the biggest danger (or perhaps the salvation?) the colony will face.
Dwayne Johnson. "Rock" trait. He's an actual rock.
Brat Pitt, different versions. Vampire Brad Pitt. Grim Reaper Brad Pitt. Zombie Slayer Brad Pitt. Imaginary Brad Pitt, and last but not least Brad Pitt the General Manager.
Maybe Adam Sandler with the "Useless" trait, making him absolutely useless except as cannon fodder.

The best part about what you're doing is that there are compatible backgrounds for that kind of pawn creation already in-game.

Sean Bean. You know you need his skills, and innate ability to die theatrically.

Ah Mr Bean! Yes!

That's a good one I never would have thought of. Not sure what to classify him as. Or what traits to give him.

Most "celebrities" are actors or pop stars. It gets repetitive when they all have the same background. So I made people that aren't as notable but fit the various backgrounds Rimworld provides.

I made Bill Nye a scientist. Oprah Winfrey is an Empath. Gordon Ramsay is an exotic chef. Connor McGregor is a pit brawler. Gabe Newell is a VR designer. Erin Andrews is a reporter. Michael Bay is an explosives expert, since he always has explosions in his movies. Those are just a few celebrities I thought of who are outside the traditional mold of actors and musicians which most celebrities fall into.

And the ones you suggested are the characters they played not the actors themselves. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Clint Eastwood are more in line with what I am doing. The only character I thought would be an exception was Borat because he interacted in the real world with live people.

I'm watching movies and KalkiKrosah appears to be watching a lot of American tv.

Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks ;)

At the moment, this. But in about an hour going to the gym, cooking dinner then heading to work. What are you doing with your time?

I'm refreshing this thread because I made a few more earlier today.
Jon Stewart, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, Stormy Daniels, Howard Stern, Elton John, Katy Perry and Ellen Degeneres are the ones I got to earlier today. Anyone else you guys can think up for me?

Every single person from Jersey Shore. It'll be difficult to survive when no one has any skill in anything whatsoever.

I really can't name anyone beyond Snickers and Mike. Can you remind me of who they are and what backgrounds/traits you think they should get? I am assuming alcoholism would be across the board on all of them.

[KalkiKrosah]

I am almost up to 100 celebrities. I did some test runs and found that I can load any of the celebrities I don't take with me into the left behind tab, and then have them show up as either raiding pirates, wandering traders or a few have even shown up as slaves. If anyone wants to suggest any celebrities for me I'd appreciate it.

The whole crew of Serenity from the series Firefly ;)
