Farinata of Oblivion Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 That's an exceedingly difficult question... I can maybe answer it if I split it up by genreVideo games/ cartoons Dr Eggman, because robots are coolTV shows, toss up between floki from vikings and strax from dr whoMovies, probably Alexander Delarge from a clockwork orangeBooks, Winston Smith from 1984Non fiction/history. Without question Gaius Iulius Caesar Web series, Raul from the soddycast machinima series Psycho.
Molokkx Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 That's tough, there's many. I can't possibly pick just one character even if I go by categories (movies, novels, games, etc). But I can definitely name a couple (in no particular order): - Liara T'Soni in the Mass Effect series (especially in the first one and the third one; wasn't a big fan of Liara in ME2). - Leliana in the Dragon Age series (well, in Origins and in Inquisition, but I preferred her in Origins). - Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Kitana, and more recently Cassie Cage in the Moral Kombat series (my absolute favorite, however, has always been Scorpion). - Piccolo, Android 18, Freeza, Cell and Son Goku in the Dragon Ball Z series. - Darth Vader, Yoda, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in the original Star Wars trilogy (of course especially in Empire Strikes Back). - Trinity in The Matrix trilogy. - Odo, Jadzia Dax, and Elim Garak in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series. - Samantha, Jack, Daniel and Teal'c in and the Stargate SG-1 series. - Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm in the Jurassic Park trilogy (excluding Jurassic World). - Wonder Woman in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. - Faora in Man of Steel. - Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, Saruman, and Galadriel in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (films). And many others, too many others lol.
PanicBunny Posted November 19, 2016 Posted November 19, 2016 Auri form the Kingkiller Chronicles and especially in The Slow Regard of Silent Things. What a wonderful dreamy and broken character.
Bazinga Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 Gotta be Jayne Cobb, the hero of Canton. And Jeffrey Lebowsky. I mean the Dude. And Tuco, the Ugly from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. And the Tramp, Charlie Chaplin's movie persona. And Marge Gunderson from Fargo. And so on, there are hundreds of characters I'm fond of. Usually not game characters, I can't remember a single game story I really gave a shit about, lol.
Guest bearodactyl Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Gaunter O'Dimm from the Hearts of Stone expansion pack for The Witcher 3. The best villain hands down.
Aquacaster Posted December 6, 2016 Posted December 6, 2016 Quinlan from the tv show "The Strain". He's badass and I've a major crush on him.
nonusnomeni Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 Leto II Atreides (or to be more precisely Frank Herbert) I teach a lesson in responsibility...Membership in a conspiracy, as in an army, frees people from the sense of personal responsibility. Power attracts the psychotics. Always. That's what we have to avoid within ourselves.
Khajiirah Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Quinlan from the tv show "The Strain". He's badass and I've a major crush on him. Reminds me of Thane from Mass Effect! <3
Guest Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Movies: Jack Sparrow TV: Sheldon Cooper Games: Kathy Rain Quinlan from the tv show "The Strain". He's badass and I've a major crush on him. That's a twisted version of falling in love with the "bad" guy, but you'll get over it.
FelixGoldenHeart Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Lulu from FFX. Dem tibbies, mah gawd. Plus I like her bitchy attitude. Mainly because it's just a hard exterior and there's a soft interior.
Chaos63 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Kenny, no question. He's the single biggest hero in the entire Walking Dead series. A self-sacrificial family man will go to any and all lengths to protect the people he cares about. He's one of those people that inspires you into being a better person. I'm really glad to have met him.

Myst42 Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Illyria from Angel Because you have never seen a character like her before and you haven't seen one after either. Because she's a goddess that has seen the passing of ages and being age-wise is actually a thing for her, unlike the "immortals acting like teenagers" act that seems so popular these days. Because she's the perfect mix of unrelenting primal awesomeness and yet a human-like frailty that makes her question her own existence. Also because she's cute. And Doomguy Because nothing kicks more ass than an OG silent space marine that scares the living shit of Hell itself. Because without saying a single word, this guy has more personality than most of the characters in any videogame, ever... and boy is he pissed... Because despite the badassery... he still has feels... and cares... about... stuff... EDIT: Also... got confused by the name of the tread... Don't think OP has any use for my chars given his requests... yet pple posted their actual favorites still. Did it got derailed?
KoolHndLuke Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Selene from UnderWorld or Wolverine from X-men. Although the new WW is fuckin HOT!!!

brutality Posted June 28, 2017 Posted June 28, 2017 Going to say Toshiro Mifune the actor since most of the characters didn't have names (on purpose.) Every bad ass action star that came after owes a little to director Kurasawa and actor Toshiro Mifune. Star Wars was inspired by Kurasawa's Hidden Fortress. Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name was a westernization of Toshiro Mifune's tough as nails character in Yojimbo. Quentin Tarantino has gone on record as saying he grew up fascinated by Akira Kurasawa's work especially Seven Samurai. So much of what we watch today was directly inspired by Mifune and Kurasawa. What I liked so much about Mifune's characters is how much he could convey without saying a word. Rarely were they ever a pure hero or villain, they all had a humanizing quality to them. I really enjoy movies when the villain has reason that you can empathize with. Or when the hero must make difficult choices that can demonize them. And this is where Mifune shined. Still my favorite actor and characters of all time.
