In Borderlands 2 I played Krieg the Psycho quite a bit just for his dialogue, even though as a solo player his active skill is pretty ass most of the time mid game onwards.
Silliest reason you've ever played a specific character or class?

Black character: "I'm black, too!"
Female character: "It's a porn-related game!"
Other than that, the one thing that got me into the Hyperdimension Neptunia series (before adding other reasons for liking the series in general) was due to the overall representation of sexy ladies personified video game consoles...

Not so much a class than what I named my character. It was some webcomic, which I don't remember. Ctrl Alt Del I think? But Fo' Shizzle was uttered in it. And I was so utterly amused by the term that when I started KOTOR, I made a black character called Fo' Shizzle.
It sure made dialogue options hilarious and made it hard to take the game seriously.

You sir or madam absolutely just made my day.
to get back on topic, i once made a character I made on Elder Scrolls: Oblivion into a pathfinder character for a friend's campaign. Then I added that character's son to the game, and said character is one of my skyrim characters.
You too, man? Glad I'm no the only one. Though, oddly enough, I went with the Mage first, then the Elf. Her quick skill with a bow, and ability to use magic, and talents for fast kicking when unarmed called to me. (It isn't something you see often, a class that can use a bow, and magic at the same time.)Johnny Novgorod said:The Sorceress from Dragon's Crown, because of this gif:
I came up with a slightly different reason for why I started off playing as an Irish man, and switched to a female with a French accent later on. He got surgery done, and the surgery brought the French side of her family out. =Dhanselthecaretaker said:
The Jew in South Park Stick of Truth
and honestly just to pretend it really bothers Cartman that the hero this land needs is a Jew, who sides with him against Kyle and ends up saving the world.
Speaking of which, I thought it was kind of cool how BM explains much later (and also explains why he says that 4 white mages line right before he casts the spell the first time) how it requires and saps the love of others to fuel such destructive power. Call me cheesy I guess.Kyrian007 said:
I have a lot of Charr characters in my roster on Guild Wars 2 specifically because I love their surprised emote:

I played an Elin sorcerer in Tera, simply because the "Nya!" and "Bloo!" noises she would make when casting certain spells were adorable. Plus, while casting the spell Fireblast, she would hover in the air in a pose that gave her the cutest butt ever. Tracer's butt is bland by comparison.
Wellll when I ventured tentatively into the world of Star Wars: The Old Republic, I specifically chose playing as a Jedi Consular male because Nolan North was the voice selection. I guess it helps that Consulars are usually my preferred class (going by KotOR and KotOR II) and I just... like Nolan North. I knew it wasn't the best class and it didn't have the most interesting personal story but 'ey, whatcha gonna do. Play as Nolan North, that's what.
It's safe to say that most of the time, I'll play against my type because of voice actors. I don't usually play aggro damage sponges but I played as Axton from Borderlands 2 because I like Rob McCollum(also Axton is badass and doesn't get enough credit). I played as a human male instead of an elfish male in Dragon Age: Origins because I like Mark Hildreth. On the opposite side of the coin, the only reason why I'd play as an elfish male is because I like Yuri Lowenthal (which I've also done forrrr some reason though I usually only play female elves).
Also I'm gonna add to the "character" bit a little more because I've played a couple of Call of Duty games for the sole reason being that the characters I wanted to see/be were played by voice actors I love.

To keep things interesting, I gave mine green skin and workout spandex and pretended she was She-Hulk. It was especially fitting during the melee animations.hanselthecaretaker said:
