Rogue. I'd probably suck at it, but that's my choice.
As for me, I'd totally be a Sorcerer, Good looks? Phenomenal Cosmic Powers (Needs to be a trope)? Pet peeve of mine. High Charisma != Good looks.
Anyway, I'd probably wind up some weird combination of cleric and monk, but probably not Divine Fist(whatever that Pr C that forces you to use only you natural attacks, not sure exactly what it was called.)

I'd Shoot For bard, Take a level In rogue, Maybe grab One in warrior or barbarian, and then take the rest (Or as many as I can justify) into Shadowdancer. Shadowport for the win.
Edited for stupid.

Pet peeve of mine. High Charisma != Good looks.You beat me to it. Seriously, next time one of my players makes a character with high Charisma, I'm going to make something horrible and disfiguring happen to the character's face. If they ask I'll tell them it doesn't translate to Charisma loss, but if they assume it does I will not set them straight.
But, yeah, for classes...? Well, I like that a Warlock can power a city by himself, but I think I'd like to be a Marshall or Warlord (depending on edition). Natural leader, directing the battle, planning his cunning tactics and then making them happen. The class to be if you want to be The Chessmaster, the Genius Bruiser, or just The People's General.
The comics equivalent of PTSD.
Here's what Pathfinder (and, by extension, 3.5 for the most part) has to say on Charisma:
"Charisma measures a character's personality, personal magnetism, ability to lead, and appearance."
Note that last word, while it doesn't necessarily mean good looks right off the bat, keep in mind that most world leaders and influential persons didn't have some horrible disfigurement that made them look as ugly as sin. some did, yes, but the looks do make a difference in determining how people are attracted to you, when you think about it.
Now stop fussing about it, you're derailing the topic.
Archivist or Artificer.
Because Knowing Is Half The Battle.
My favorite Build:
3.5
1 level of Sorcerer - Take some fun/useful cantrips and mage armor
9 levels of Monk - High AC and adds wisdom to AC. Fun attacks and lots of fun feats.
10 levels of Dragon Disciple - Tons of bonus stats(especially STR). Breath weapon. Bonuses to Natural Armor, and evenually flight(which meshes well with monk speed and jump bonuses: You are your own high-glider).
If you hit Epic Levels, keep piling on the Monk levels.
Rogue, or maybe ranger.

Monk, hands down. You can get untarnished youth, immunity to disease and eventually Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence just for being good at what you do.

3.5 cleric. 4e bard. Or maybe monk because at high levels they literally get 100 Crack Fists of the North Star as a power.

@Arcan Genth: ...I thought monk was one of those classes that you weren't allowed to take additional levels in if you switched classes. I know that exceptions are made for certain prestige classes— drunken master, for example— but I didn't think dragon disciple was included among them. Am I missing something here, or do you just play with variant rules? (Not trying to be a rules lawyer, just curious.)
As for which class I'd choose? Probably ranger, mainly due to my love for dual wielding. In 3.5, the fact that you get nature spells and an animal companion is nice, too!

Lead.
Artificer or Cleric. Either fit my personality.

If I'm choosing a PC class, Cleric, because Miracle doesn't cost me 5,000 fucking experience to cast unless I want to prevent a damn earthquake or turn the tide of a battle. That and philosophy, love of wisdom, clerics use wisdom to cast spells, I figure it fits.

Rogue definitely. And I'd make sure I'm the extra sneaky ninja type of rogue. Cause being sneaky is great! :D

Hmm . . . I can just picture myself as a wizard, poring over old books in search of ULTIMATE POWER (or a spell to kill the weeds on my lawn.) If I were actually going to be an adventurer, though, I'd be a rogue and just sneak past all the monsters.

...Renagade, your complaint about "derailing the topic" had less to do with the topic than the posts you were complaining about.
And you're taking Pathfinder text and applying it to things that aren't Pathfinder.
And yes, appearance does factor into it, but it's not the only factor by a longshot, and in the end you can have a good-looking person with 8 charisma or an ugly guy (perhaps in a mask, but still ugly) with 20. Think Phantom Of The Opera; you can't tell me that horribly disfigured individual had less than 16 Charisma. And I only say it was 16 because he didn't use it much beyond manipulating one girl and threatening some people. Had he put it to more use I'd up that estimate. I'm going to have to increase that by about eight points, actually, because he was good enough at Perform (sing) to train an opera singer. (Mask was probably enchanted with Eagle's Splendor.)
I know this is a rather belated response but I've been sick all day and if you're going to attempt to tell us not to talk about something I take that as an open invitation to talk more about it.
17A, you are indeed correct, but I think this topic is exempt from multiclassing rules...

You can pick whichever edition you want in the interests of avoiding edition wars or just not choose one at all. After all, we're asking about the idea of the class in general and general powers and abilities it comes with, not the fine details, and if you want to pursue a Prestige Class or Paragon path, fine with me. Splatbooks may be included.
As for me, I'd totally be a Sorcerer, Good looks? Phenomenal Cosmic Powers (Needs to be a trope)? Possible relation to a Dragon? Hells yeah. I might go for a Dragon Disciple, but only if I have a way to hide the look I'll develop, what with the wings and scales and claws and stuff.
