Christopher Snipes, he was such an awesome badass. He would always follow the directions, even if they were a piece of junk.
Aaah Suikoden II
Such a good game.
I'll be honest though, Nanami started to sort of get on my nerves after a while. There was even this moment where she was all like "I'm coming with you!" and you get one of Suikoden's infamous fake choice moments. I told her 'No' to which she replied "I'm coming with you anyway!" There's a fine line between caring and clingy.
***** PLEASE. I have 108 characters in my castle and you've been hogging up one space in my party for over half the game. Could you KINDLY allow me some choice in who to take with me.

Of all the things, why a Mycon?

The height of literary art.
15 year old girl in an JRPG is your fav character?
Ok... I admit, I'm skeptical whenever someone mentions a JRPG character... they usually the the depth of a puddle and the IQ of a rock.
The entire main cast of Grandia II, but four favourites stand out: Mareg, Elena, Skye and Ryudo.

I had serious trouble getting into to this game's story, if only because of the voice acting. It wasn't bad (except for the prince, seriously, I hate that kid's voice), per se, it just didn't fit at all. I wish it had come with a 'subbed' version, as it were.
Awesome gameplay mechanics, though. Right up there with Star Ocean 2 and Lunar 2 in terms of 'WE NEED MORE OF THESE GAMES'.
I always developed some weird attachments at times.. sometimes always different depending on my mindset/character mindset on a play through. Mainly:
Bastila - KOTOR
Random FreeSpace pilots (I sometimes felt very attached to my generic wingpersons. At one point I was always ordering them to depart so they would not die. Bad habit)
Whole heap of nameless soldiers in Close Combat series etc.
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy (Hothothothothothothothot)

Nothing special.
But I always try to immurse myself into the character/location that I am playing in. So if the character has an attachment to x and x is killed off, by design or luck. I will be affected by it, unless that character had been designed horribly.
Tali'Zorah vas Normandy (Hothothothothothothothot)dat ass
Justin - Grandia. Great game , greatest character ever, hottest GF ever
Edit honourable mention for Fwiffo, every time I killed him I cried a little inside.
No I made an effort of playing Ur quan with as many different ways as possible due to my love for the writing. Unfortunately this meant I had to kill Fwiffo a few times :(
My favorite video game character is probably Lester Mitchell. He was a randomly generated soldier in X-COM: UFO Defense who happened to be particularly badass. I accidentally took his squad, which was completely green, on a base assault. I must have thought it was a Floater base or something, but it turned out to be full of Ethereals. While his entire squad was going insane and getting mind controlled he pretty much single-handedly destroyed the entire base. I don't know how he managed it, but he ran around with a blaster launcher and a laser rifle and killed at least a dozen enemies before finding and nuking the command center. I extracted him and the survivors and aborted the mission then despite knowing that there were aliens left alive because he was the only combat effective soldier and I didn't feel like combing the entire base with just him.
But just some nobody in a game carving out their own legend as they go along and becoming a somebody is a great thing.

This is my favorite kind of character, and favorite kind of story.
I mean, it's nice when there's a good world to play in, and a story to guide your character(s) through to give them a goal and stuff. But most times when a writer goes and writes a character, they're usually not as interesting.
I love that adorable fungus! Lives underground by the warmth of magma; dreams of spreading its spores throughout the stars to fulfill the wishes of Juffo-Wup. And it's so polite and eloquent in speech! <3You have converted me to Mycon-ism. Let us Juffo-Wup together.
But fine, maybe you're one of those people, who would prefer to hug a Zoq! Well, now that I think about it, they do have damn sexy curves.
Whole heap of nameless soldiers in Close Combat series etc.I recall 3 units that I took special care of.
A special salute goes out to all the Soldiers in Cannon Fodder (The first one, on Amiga).
I've always been protective of allies in games. I try to preserve as many of them as possible, and enjoy saving their lives. I haven't sent any of my wingmen away though. I just hope they got out in their ejector pods :)
I think it also gives me a decent amount of "escort rage" resistance.

Ditto.
I do it in 4X games too and RTS's... when my ally/friendly empire is on the other side of the galaxy, beset by enemies and being destroyed, I commit my whole empire to it's rescue, regardless the risks.
Just today, I declared war on the entire galaxy to save an empire that was down to two planets. Gave it some of my fringe planets just to keep it alive.
Oh god, I totally forgot about that one.
Of all the things, why a Mycon?

Because of all the amazing Juffo-Wup? Also, they apparently taste great fried in butter. Seriously, SC2 is pretty much a hotspot for favorite game characters, there's many I absolutely loved in there. Admiral ZEX comes to mind, as well as pretty much any Thraddash captain :)
Also, Guybrush Threepwood.
I can't believe I left out Minsc and boo. What the hell is wrong with me?
GO FOR THE EYES BOO GO FOR THE EYES YAHH!!!
@ headdie
I know Red Alert isn't supposed to be taken entirely seriously, but I can't "care" about Tanya. Unless you mean you just like her, I like her too, but she's too bloodthirsty to care about for me.
I did forget to mention Mariko "Spirit" Tanaka from WC1/2

**** me, now I remember how incredibly angry I was when she died.
Oh and while we're at it...
*snip*
Who's she?
I can't think of any right now, damn myself!
I'll definitely throw a vote to Boo and Minsc in the pot, just for the fun they provided :D
Curly Brace (Cave Story (The original version, not the crappy port))
Sue Sakamoto (Cave Story (The original version, not the crappy port))
Toroko (Cave Story (The original version, not the crappy port))
Mackie :nervous: And some ME characters, and of course I want the character I am playing as to survive :D Battlefield3 did a great thing where they executed "you" (The tank captain)
Like most aspects of Battlefield 3's story, that was cribbed from somewhere else that did it better.

Well, if you want to go about stuff like that than pretty much everything younger than ancient Greece is a ripoff :P
I'm gone two days and this is what happens to my thread while I'm away? Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk... :lol:
Okay, I'll throw in someone else to restore the balance. I was thinking of making a badasses thread, but this is the only guy that stands out to me. I can't really say I "care" about him, but he's not the first badass to appear in this thread, and I very much like him as a character. Morgan Bernhardt, the player character from Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat and it's sequel: Warhammer: Dark Omen. Hoo boy, now there's a guy who can make you believe his army would follow him absolutely anywhere. I love his character.
"You're going into hell, Bernhardt!"
"I was born there."
