[NT] What's your favourite fictional character of ALL-TIME?

[CrystalViolet]

I love Tolkien's world so much, I'm even learning Quenya. Such a geek.

Dude, I wanted elf rune tattoo.

Dude, I wanted elf rune tattoo.

I sometimes take notes in Tengwar (which is what the elf runes are called, in case you didn't know). It's the height of geek-dom.

I've never thought of any one character as my ultimate favourite... they're all so different to each other that you can't really put them side by side and compare them and say "I like this one better". Edmond Dantès, Quintinius Verginix, D'Artagnan, Edward Fairfax Rochester, Thursday Next, Folly (in Moriae Encomium) and more besides... can't possibly pick one. I could try to say "the one I relate to most", but to say that was my favourite would (falsely) imply I liked them more than the others on that account.

So... bear that in mind when I say: D'Artagnan

And the actor I believe portrayed him the best (or in line with how I imagine him from reading the books) in any of the movie/TV adaptations of Dumas' work, is Vincent Elbaz (2nd from left)

Hmm. If I'd have to pick only one, I would say Artemis Fowl

Mind if I ask why?

Aa Omae wa taiyou no ko... Kamen Raida... BLRRACK!

I own the DVD complete first season of Ultraman. Bought it for 14 bucks, also my friends dad loved it as a kid.

 

[algeerot]

Eve from Gensis because she manipulates then blames someone else.

Probably one of these: Henry Wotton, Rodion Raskolnikov, Hannibal Lecter, Michael Corleone.

You have great taste.

You have great taste.

Thank you.

 

[suttree]

John Gardner's Grendel. He's like evil, existentialist me with superpowers, which is like me at 18 but with superpowers.

And, of course, Cornelius Suttree.

Ooh, and Prince Ashitaka.

 

[Frederico Rogeiro]

1. Sherlock Holmes
2. Lucky Luke
3. James Bond

 

[UnderTheShade]

Rurouni Kenshin

 

[Lucky_Rabbit]

Mega-man... He was the shit... shy like me but brave and curious, wasnt really a human but looked like one and acted just like one (like me)... the ability to adapt to another weapon (person style) and defeat them with their own logic... plus he had a dog and a girl who liked him but he never picked up on on it... besides his creator being male and mine being female he was me in animeform

 

[Dyoni]

Way too many to choose from, but if I had to pick two, it would be Hiro Protagonist (Snow Crash -- Neal Stephenson)

THIS. For me, it would probably be a tie between Y.T. from Snow Crash or Nell from The Diamond Age. I think this part of the Diamond Age was one of the most inspirational things I've ever read.

"They wanted to carry her, but she jumped to the stones of the plaza and strode away from the building, toward her ranks, which parted to make way for her. The streets of Pudong were filled with hungry and terrified refugees, and through them, in simple peasant clothes streaked with the blood of herself and of others, broken shackles dangling from her wrists, followed by her generals and ministers, walked the barbarian Princess with her book and her sword."

Also, Zowie... although that might qualify more as a crush.
