Forums of the Megaverse®

I'm working on a concept for a Palladium one-shot or mini campaign where notable individuals are plucked from time and space and thrust together into a mad quest to save the Megaverse. I'm hoping for some help in the form of answers to the following question:

If you could play as an existing notable, awesome, or iconic NPC from any of the books or official Rifter material available for Dead Reign, which NPC from which book/page would you choose, and why?

Sir Ian Thorpe, just because I want to see a cyber knight go to town on some zombies
