Who Are Your 5 Favorite Video Game Characters?

SinkingBadges

The Quiet Man
Aw, most of mine are side characters! Anyway:

5-Vivian (Paper Mario 2): Vivian is so vulnerable at the start that I wanted to punch her sister, then she's so independent and strong. I also used to have a crush on her (until I learned she's a boy in the japanese version). Whatever, she's still awesome.
4-Cremia (Majora's Mask): That hug scene is possibly some of the only character development Link has ever seen (the pink text has to mean something, you know)! And that barn scene with Romani is one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
3-Rydia (Final Fantasy IV): It was moving how Cecil protected her after leaving her with almost nothing in this world. She has one of the most epic comebacks in game history and her theme is one of my favorite works from Nobuo Uematsu.
2-Hunter (Spyro series): Ok, too many girls in there, it's starting to look like I can't get any in real life. Hunter was one of the clumsiest characters I've ever seen, but he still had that charm about him that I can't quite point out.
1-Bobbery (Paper Mario 2): Oh, c'mon! Anybody who played the game will know why Bobbery is so great!

I didn't put Link because I don't think of him as a character. Feel free to tell me if I got too emotional.

A parallel timeline
5) Shadow the Hedgehog - I've always liked antiheroes in videogames/animes, and Shadow fits the role perfectly
4) Leon S Kennedy - Just came to admire him in Resident Evil 4. He has this "movie action hero" thing about him.
3) Bowser - I just find him to be an example of the perfect villain.
2) Link - the hero. Has a wide variety of abilities and is damn courageous.
1) Okami Amaterasu - the wolf incarnation of the Japanese sun goddess in Okami. She's a wolf goddess. Enough said.

Iowa, or Hell. They're both the same thing.
5: Zelda, in her Skyward Sword form.

4: Donkey Kong. No idea why, but I liked him after playing his newest Country game.

3: Tweek, from Fur Fighters. None of you have ever heard of it, so I can tell you he's an anthropomorphic 1 day old dragon :P

2: Luigi. Srsly, if you didn't know that after lookin' at my name, then phooey on you.

1: Shadow the Hedgehog. I've loved him since Sonic Adventure 2, and he will forever always be my favorite video game character.

Honorable mentions: WW Link (Or Toon Link), Diddy Kong, Metal Sonic, Princess Daisy, and Vanitas.

Hmm...

5. Fox McCloud (StarFox series) [Only from Lylat Wars64 {AKA StarFox64} onwards though]

I love Fox's enthusiasm and the ideals that he has throughout the series. Overall he's a great character although I think he's been played by too many voice actors.

4. Derek Stiles (Trauma Center series)

3. Link (Do I really have to?)

Again, is this necessary? I am on a website dedicated to the green guy...

2. Conker (Specifically in Conker's Bad Fur Day)

There is just no other character like this foul mouthed drunk squirrel and he holds a place in my heart as being one of the quirkiest characters I've ever played as.

1. Seto (Fragile Dreams ~Farewell Ruins of The Moon~)

There is not enough time for me to write about why I love this character so much. A young boy survives some disaster only to discover that he is possibly the only person left alive when he encounters the Silver Haired Girl. All this protagonist is looking for in this game is human contact. Never heard of this game? Shame on you! Seto is the guy in the middle of my sig holding the torch. This game is the only game that has brought a tear more than once to my eye...
