I've been thinking of some different ideas for RHG characters, and would like feedback from the general public about them.
Some ideas are immature, but my goal is to be funny, not bad-ass. In no particular order, here they are.

1. A character who can summon any item that pertains to the hat he wears. (baseball cap, bat and ball) (Chef hat, spatula, oven) (Hattrick, perhaps???)

2. A character wielding a magical sousaphone. Yes, a marching band tuba. He can use it to play loud shit to disorient or blow people away or beat people to death with it. (BTW, yes I play one IRL) (Tubaman or Blast, maybe.)

3. A guy with a hardhat who constructs things to help him fight, almost like an engineer from TF2. (Appropriately named Hardhat)

4. A golem made of rock, who has large, blunt hands. Probably moves very slow, but that sounds like quite a fatal disadvantage. (Maybe named Rock or Stone or something)

That's all I could come up with for now, tell me what you think! Yes I am brand new to this site and RHG so it's still going to be quite a long time before I actually make a character.

number 3 sounds fantastic,

4 sounds proffesional yet fun to animate.

Also ALL of the ideas are creative and original

If you make an RHG, PLEASE DO NUMBER THREE. I NEED A DISPENSAH HERE.

1. That would be pretty interesting if, say, he had a briefcase of hats. Or a TOWER OF HATS.
2. A deadly tuba? It certainly fits your funny factor, but it sounds a little hard to come up with combat ideas for this.
3. I can imagine the guy throwing in mini-sentries, claymores, and missiles while he's trying to build a massive weapon AND keep it alive from his opponent. I would really like to see Hardhat some to life.
4. Not sure how this can be made funny, but this guy could do well with environmental combat

I like all the feedback so far, and yeah, number 4 was probably my most serious idea. With three replies, the tally is up to 2 for hardhat, I guess half a tally for Rock, and I'd say 1.5 for Hattrick. I guess classical instruments just don't do it for you guys, right?

Maybe Blast could have more than a tuba, maybe be able to summon any instrument as a weapon. Falling pianos are funny!

Plus, imagine the dual combat of a violin and bow! Or maybe slamming a drum onto a person so their head pops through the top and then using your drum sticks to make a nice tune with their skull!

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing, any ideas of a good name for him? I'm thinking Muse or Din.

Others of note:
Adagio, Beat, Orquestron, Clef, piano

If you decided to give him instrumental powers, I would still go for 3, but ƒorte would be my second. Then Hattrick, and...um...Rock. Rock sounds like a kid threw his pet rock into toxic waste O_o.

Well scythes have been done quite a bit, and I like the thought of improvised weaponry. I think it'd just make me piss my pants laughing if he's wearing a chef hat and takes a cast iron frying pan and beat the crap out of someone. I think Hattrick is my favorite at the moment. Thanks for the feedback though!

Hattrick: Oh crap, he blew up all mah hats! What am I going to do now?!
*looks at surroundings*
Hattrick: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................
*rips a fire hydrant out of the ground, slaps it on his head, magically spawns a fire hose*

no.2 is the most original. You barely ever see RHG's with instruments as weapons. No.1 seems kindof ridiculous. No.3 is fine hur hurr TF2. and no.4 is great

2 and 4 are the best.
