I have too many to count...

I suppose the one character that I admire the most is Claire from Outlander. She is brave, forward-thinking, selfless, and selfish enough to enjoy the moment as it comes.

The coolest though would have to be Panamon Creel - just because he was a 'take me or leave me' kind of guy and he had the best name ever.

Of course, if I were to say "best" fictional characters...

Certainly Darth Vader ranks among the highest:

dwndrgn · 4th July 2003, 05:17 PM

I'll have to name a few...

Johnny Goodboy Tyler from 'Battlefield Earth' he is intelligent, clever, strong and thoughtful.

Claire Beauchamp and Jamie Fraser from "The Outlander" they both just take life as it comes, prepare for the worst and celebrate the best. They fight and love with equal passion.

The Fool from the Farseer Trilogy, he's mysterious, knowledgable, flawed, loving.

There are more but I'll stop now. :-X ;D

R2D2 was much better. *smiles*

Hmmm...that is a good question.
I always really liked Sam in LOTR...
I think in a really good bookor movie there is always a character that somehow sticks with you and gets you involved in the story.
I really can't choose just one... Amelia Sachs, Hannibal Lector, Deo-Dread (a character that a friend of mine created during a long D & D session.....). And that is just for starters.

Valentine Michael Smith from "Stanger In A Strange Land"

Anakin Skywalker
i guess that means Darth Vader as well..

The best part about all of these characters, though, is that you can simply walk away afterwards. I certainly wouldn't like to have to deal with some of the emotional aspects.

Richard Rahl, Sword of Truth or Maud'Dib, Dune.

Oh yeah...

I've been thinking about this for a long time and I've finally realized, I think, why I haven't been able to come to any conclusions. My favorites change depending on my mood and what I'm reading. So any list would be long, and would be different depending on what day it is.

I think one of the reasons that I'm so drawn to Kage Baker's series of Company novels is that Mendoza is such a great character. She's got issues, to be sure, but what immortal cyborg wouldn't?

As far as television characters go, I always really liked Ensign Ro in "Start Trek: The Next Generation". Again, she had such attitude.

From film, I've always liked Kevin Smith's "Silent Bob" character. He's good when he's not saying anything, but he's even better when he opens his mouth and lets go with one of his monologues. (Kevin Smith is also one of my favorite screenwriters - yeah, he uses a few too many F-bombs for my taste sometimes, but he really is a great writer, with some great insights - see "Dogma" and "Chasing Amy" if you don't believe me.)

Also from film, Indiana Jones - how can one not like him? Smart, attractive, and not afraid of a challenge but also reluctantly not afraid to admit it when he's afraid - my kind of man.

I'm sure there are others, but those are the ones who come to mind immediately.

Nicodemus from the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH....it's a kid's book, but still it has really stuck with me over the years.

jerchar · 20th October 2003, 10:01 AM

Well, my favorite fantasy character is Silk from the Belgariade saga by D. Eddings, although he's even with Cenedra (from the same book). In movies it's definitely Orlando Bloom acting as Legolas in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In TV-series I really like Cole the demon in Charmed.
