Favourite Discworld characters?

[Princess Ivy]

to difficult to choose,
Carrot? to pedestrian. Grimes, to parochrial (and we all know that ain't spelled rite). Granny Weatherwax, to hommey. Vetinari - OK so he is well in contention, along with Nobby Nobs!

[Seth God Of Chaos]

I think my favourites would have to be Vetinari -The Lord-,Leonard A Quirm -The genius-, Lu-tze -The rockin monk- Susan -Ultimate goth-.The Dean -hut hut-, Ridcully , Vimes , carrot , Gaspode -The Talking Dog-, Death-IS THIS RIGHT- and i know ill probably get criticism for this one but Wolf Von Uberwald ROCKED

Any others, though?

Perhaps the most immediately memorable is the librarian at the Unseen University, who also happens to be an Orang Utan. There's something extremely memorable about that.

I *never* cared for Rincewind as a character - but maybe that's just me.

Nobby, Colon, Vimes and Vetinari. They give a human and fun touch other books without them is missing.

Death is soooo cool. I loved the way he tried to get drunk. I also like Luggage and see it as a rather cute andrex puppy with very sharp teeth and lots of attitude!

I second that

Vimes is my favourite without a doubt, though Cohen and DEATH follow closely.

[Circus Cranium]

Death of Rats I think is the funniest character simply in concept. My fav book is Hogfather.

[Severian]

Have to say Lord Vetinari, especially in Jingo. Is there anything the Patrician can't master!!

[BandSmurf]

I identify with Susan way too much to leave her off the list, but Vetinari and DEATH take the cake. Sybil too, her obssesion with dragons is great. Of all the watchmen... I'm sorry Nobby's the best. I love the way he makes fun of Colon in Jingo.

I'll go with Death and the witches. Everybody mentions Granny Weatherwax but Nanny Ogg is just as cool. Where would the world be without Scumble?
Never was all that bothered about the city watch, but I love Susan and Mort.
And the Unseen University kinda works like a single element in itself; they all work together but alone, Rincewind isn't as cool.
And Lu-Tze - can't forget him, he was mega funny.

[zorcarepublic]

Death, Mort, Vimes, Detritus, Carrot, the Luggage, Rincewind, the wizzards (I don't know why, they just seem so stupid for leaders of a university)...

Oh, okay, I like all of the characters. Even the bad guys. They're just too comical.

[Seedorn]

DEATH
The Witches (all of them)
And last but not least Cohen and his geriatric Silver Horde!

[ommigosh]

I think Vetinari is a brilliant brilliant character and wish we could see more of him in the series. Jingo allowed him to really come to the fore for once.
Death and Granny Weatherwax are favourites of mine but the person I like best is Samuel Vimes. What a guy. Compassionate, clever, honest, direct and very capable in holding the hotchpotch Watch together (with the exception of Reg Shoe, of course).

Oh and I just love the Igors. All of them. Always willing to lend a hand.

My favourite book has to be small gods - I'm too much of an atheist not to chuckle at that one! (he's not the messiah.....he's a very naughty boy!)

favourite character.....probably granny weatherwax. I love the way she uses "headology" to outfox her opponents.
I also like rincewind as he's the guy I most identify with!
when in danger....run your arse off!

[Sibeling]

I am so glad that somebody mentioned Rincewind at last, he is really funny and I don't understand why so few people think he is cool.
