I had a thought the other day. What if DnD wasn't fantasy, but the reality we all lived in today? This game is going to look into that question.

The Story...
It was a pretty average day in the Dire Lion Inn in Tishmat. The large, yet grubby pub was filled with it's usual clientèle. Mainly sorry looking characters that liked to drink by themselves, with the occasional table filled with adventuring companies of some sort.
Today there happened to be an Elf sat by himself in the corner, getting many strange looks. He seemed uncomfortable in this place, and edgy at the sight of all the other patrons. The sweat dripped down his forehead as he physically shook in his seat. Suddenly the Elf did something very strange...
He stood up and started shouting. Shouting some very strange words...
"Television! Internet! Coke-Cola! Burger King!"
The strange fellow scanned the bar, looking at everyone's reactions. Most seemed shocked and confused, if not just totally uncaring. Distraught and close to hysterics, the Elf sat back down and started mildly sipping at his frothy ale.
Though conveniently for the Elf, the bar he happened to be sat in had a few patrons that knew exactly what he was talking about...
Game.
For the game I want to try something interesting. I want you to role play yourself. If DnD was this reality, what class would you be? What race would you be? What skills do you have in real life and how would they relate to DnD classes?
This is a 4th edition game, in which you play a lvl1 character - standard 22 point buy. I want a link to all characters sheets from mythweavers/tangledweb/ect. I'm going to be pretty liberal as to what sources you can use, but I'll be asking for a bibliography of sorts for feats and items so I know you're not just making up some OP stuff of your own. =P
Backgrounds are a necessity. What was your last memory of this reality? Was it as simple as going to bed in real life and waking up in the DnD universe? Were you captured by some unseen assailant and forced in the back of a truck, drugged and awoke as a Tiefling? How long have you lived this fantasy life? Have you gotten by in your new form for a few years, or is this your first day here? Do you know any of the other PC's from your time travelling, or are you alone?
This is a standard pbp game that should hopefully grow into a prolonged campaign. I don't really want more than 6 people, though may add more if a lot of people like the idea of this. Obviously this is going to be a very strange campaign, so I don't know how popular it'll be. What do people think?
