Favorite characters? (Not a poll or survey)

[Gamefreak]

I'm not entirely sure if there's been a topic on this, but in any case...

Who're our favorite gaming characters?  Mine personally are:

Miles Edgeworth (Yes, he's my favorite)
Kefka Palazzo
Probably more....

You can also discuss least favorite characters as well.  Keep in mind, that people have their opinions, respect them and be cordial.

[Rev Rabies]

Devil May Cry:
Dante
Nero
God Of War:
Kratos
Fire Emblem:
Ike
Boyd
Gatrie
Canas

there are many others

[Gamefreak]

My least favorites:

Almost all characters from Final Fantasy VII.

[Commodore Axilon]

Are you telling me that Cait Sith does not rival the likes of Iago for greatest fictional character of all time?

[Hi no Seijin]

Let's see, Marisa, Ismaire, Selena, Syrene, Vanessa and Amelia from Fire Emblem 8.  Lyn, Eliwood, Sain, Serra, and Matthew (at least so far) from FE 7.  Tingle; have to root for the eccentric guy who doesn't care what other people think about him.  Cecilia Aldehyde from Wild Arms/Wild Arms Alter Code F.

Sorry, Rabies.  I do have Canas, and he is excellent against mages, but I just haven't used him that much yet.

As far as least favorite characters go, I didn't really like Riev from FE 8.  That guy is creepy.  Then there's the Marquess of Araphen from FE 7.  That guy is a total jerk.

Uh, favourite characters ever?

If so, in no particular order:

Waka/Oki/Okami Shiranui (Okami)
GLaDOS (Portal)
Father Vincent (Silent Hill 3)
James Sunderland/Angela Orosco (Silent Hill 2)
Walter Sullivan/Robbie Rabbit (Silent Hill 4)
Vaati/Dark Link (Zelda: OOT/Minish Cap)

I like the sad/super crazy people. Like, "I just shot you in the face because my mom, the apartment, is going to be revived because of it."

[Keaton]

Gaz from COD4
The Weighted Companion Cube from Portal
Andrew Ryan from Bioshock
Krystal from StarFox Adventures (anyone would go yiffy for her, be honest.)
The Girl from F.E.A.R.
Big Boss Snake from MGS3
The End from MGS3
The Fury from MGS3
Ocelot from MGS3Wander from SOTC
The Rasta Frog from Parappa the Rapper
Iron Knuckles from OoT/MM
Gray Fox from MGS
Sniper Wolf from MGS
Psycho Mantis from MGS
Revolver Ocelot from MGS
Yuri from C&C RA2: YR

Those are all I can think of now-- more to come.

Lara Croft is definitely my all-time favourite gaming character.
I also love:
The Kid (Jerome Johnson) (TR I)
The Immortals/The Damned (TR III)
Tony (and Rory and Randy) (TR III)
Ingus (FF III)
Larson (TR I and V)

[DarkZelda]

I might have to agree with Twilight Zelda and say Lara Croft.

Unfourtunatly, 99% of my gaming consoles are Nintendo, so most of my characters are Nintendo.

LOL.

[Carpet Merchant]

My all time favorite has got to be link actually. Also up there is ratchet of ratchet and clank

[Gamefreak]

Good choice Carpet Merchant.  Ratchet and Clank is one of my favorite series.

[MagmarFire]

It is one of my favorites, as well. Clank, Captain Qwark, and Dr. Nefarious rule. :P

[Carpet Merchant]

QUARK? You like QUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
Oh Janet, it dosen't matter that you're my cousin, I love yo(smack)

[Fishalicious]

I, for some reason, forgot Piggy Ganon. And Red XIII/Reno.

I.. like... red/orange, apparently. And I also love how EVERYTHING I LOVE DIES. D:

Case in point: cats.

[alical]

And I also love how EVERYTHING I LOVE DIES. D:

I know the feeling!
The sucky thing is with me in games the character I have to play as is usually the one who has to kill the character I love.
