You mentioned being silly and "fun". Do you think that's a necessity? Personally, I've never seen Zorszaul do anything silly, fun, or even chaotic really, but then I haven't spoken with him at length, he very well could break into show-tunes in mid-sentence(I realize that'd be lame and bad roleplay, but it struck me as something that'd be funny). My guess, using him as a prime example, is that you don't have to be silly and "fun", but you see it so often that you have to wonder if he's an exception to the rule.
I think people roll up barons for the pk powers(hence all of the 50 bazillion assassin barons that there have been) and fall into the silliness Bozo role because it's easy.
I'm interested in making a Baron, but I've been known to delete caballed characters 'cause I didn't like my cabal-mates and I haven't met very many barons that I've liked, well since Guiseppe.
