What are your all time fav game characters? what characters can you relate to? Why are they your fav?

I have quite a few favorites, but one I must like the best is Daigo Kazamaof "Rival Schools"
Reason being because he seems like one of those bad guys that is cool, but yet he is honorable.

I have quite a few too.

Dante, cos he's the baddest gun toting sword swinger of all, nuff said. My fave videogame chara of all time, so far.

Billy from Res Evil Zero is a badass too. Love his tatoos.

Ryu for Street Fighter.

The hero from Legaia 2, 4got his original name (called him Slash ), but hes a sword superstar and that other mystic, goldeyes cos he looks so evil. I just got this game today and it's pretty good. The old guy, Kazan rocks too.

Jill, cos shes hot and useful with a gun. I dont like weak female charas.

Aya Brea, for the same reason as above and she's got parasite power to boot.

Squall from FF8, love the gunblade, jacket, attitude and lion heart, the best move in any rpg I've seen, and Selphie too

Jet from WA3 cos he's moody. Love the moody and straight to business hero.

Shadow from Sonic Adventure 2. He's one mean lookin hog, and Knuckles too.

Sarevok from Baldurs Gate.

Guybrush Threepwood, the ultimate cack handed, piss funny, mouse action hero.

No deep meaning, or real thought involved, I don't find video game charas as interesting as anime charas unless they're RPG ones.

Dante (Devil May Cry) - very cool and badass. Heck, he even has a taunt (R2 for the DMC owners amongst you) that fills up his DT gauge.
Nina, from Breath of Fire 2 - looked better in this one than 1 - hell, I even did a fanart of her
Max Payne - Come on, one ordinary guy (albeit with the ability to aim whilst his opponents are still blinking) taking on an entire criminal ring just has to be pretty badass.
BTW, what the heck is Rival Schools meant to be about? I've heard about it so much, but never figured out what its storyline is meant to be...

The story is about a kid named Batsu searching for his kidnapped mother. He goes from school to school searching for who took her. He end's up finding out that it's his father (that he never knew about) that kidnapped her. And at the end he finally defeats him and he gets his mother back.

Locke from FF6 (he inspired me to wear bandanas XD), Squall from FF8 was pretty cool too. And Quistis, definately Quistis :3~~ (I think Shirai will agree on that )

Well, I always had an annoying habit of falling for blondes, so it would have to be Quistis for me (though it was quite close between her and Rinoa...)

Hentai detention, huh? Think you took the whole 'fantasy' concept a bit too seriously lol.

kinky people

Hmm, Rinoa is cute in a romantic way (and therefor the role in the game suits her well).

But don't forget they're only game characters

Hmm... Who's my fave RPG char? My Fave FF girl would have to be Yuna.. 'specially in that skimpy little X-2 outfit!

As for other fave chars..

Megaman - He was cool in the originals, he's cool in the X series, he.... looks cool in Legends and um... ok I don't really know what the hell they were thinking in Battle Network! But still, he kicks arse.

Kirby - OK maybe a bit cutesy, but for some reason he always appealed to me. Must be something about NES characters that copy their enemies' skills...

Tommy Vercetti, Max Payne and Dante are all just gun-totin' badasses, which can't be a bad thing!

Forgot a few...

Katt from BOF2. Why they replaced her with Rei the tigerman I'll never know ???.(dont that just beat all. I lost count of how many friggin times he says that in 3 and 4)

The Nameless One, from Planescape. A big bad, grey skinned badass with killa dreads.

Wesker from Res Evil 1, Veronica and Zero. Elite, corporate, backstabbing badass.

Chrono from chrono cross. He looked so cool on the cg movie. Like a sword wielding Goku.

Hunk from the Res Evil 2 mini game. Why do umbrella special forces charas never get the spotlight ?. Despite a shit name I thought he was cool.

Minsc from Baldurs gate 1 and 2. And lets not forget Boo the giant space hamster lol . Some of the shit that guy comes out with is classic, especially on BG2. And Vicconia. Dark elves rule.

Tifa, for having big tits lol .

All the girls in the DOA series for having big tits .

Sharon from Legaia 2 for........having nice tits. Notice a pattern ? lol. Actually I like her for having some groovy arts moves and doing serious damage, having a nasty looking origin, but she does have a fine rack.

Carlos from Res Evil Nemesis and that wounded guy who takes on the Tyrant in the cable car, I think he's called Nicholai. He got my respect blowing himself up like that.

SONIC. The blue badboy who ruled my youth and got me into art in the first place. Knuckles, Tails, Shadow and many more from the games are amongst my absolute favourites, and Princess Sally from the Archie cartoons. I always wanted one of those 'Niclole' handheld things.

Specter from the Ape Escape games. He's so camp but somehow manages to be quite cool. He even calls Hikaru 'my dear' in the sequel.

Can't think of any more at the moment....

I don't see what's wrong with a little fantasy now n then, especially with Quistis in the staff room, after school (drools and falls off his chair).

Can't believe I forgot Raziel from Soul Reaver. Not just a vampire, also an undead soul sucking bad boy. Nearly as cool as Dante but not quite.

Ratchet and Clank. I liked the way the two charas played off against each other and the game was great if a little short.

Vexx. I know the game sucks ass, but he's one evil looking little bastard especially with those war talons. If the game had been story driven like Ratchet and Clank it would've been great, but instead it was just arcadey shit.

Link. He looks like some sort of a badly drawn, gay fairy in the new one but in the old games he was cool. One of my fave action rpgs is the Zelda one on the SNES. Can't remember it's full name.

Jack and Daxster. For the way they acted around each other, Daxters sense of humour and the little dances they did when you found a powercell.

Megaman. I agree, he was cool. One of my fave series despite the fact that theyre all more or less identical. And the samurai one with the funky hair. Forgot his name but he's a good guy who you can play as. He rocked.

Right.........I'm done spamming this topic for now.

well if I had to be honest with myslef I would mosat closely relate to Remus from Lunar, Im fat like him and im always lookin for a quick buck, yet deep down im not a bad guy.
as fer my fav charas of all time it would have to be Chrono, he was the closest thing to a RPG Goku :-)

Hehe, I actually had a go at trying to merge Goku, Chrono and Cloud 2gether and draw what they would look like. The results were not very pleasant...

Hey flashdragoon, here are my (rather pathetic) attempts at the aforementioned merge. Don't be surprised if they are really bad, this was back in 2000/2001 when I could draw no better than a 5 year old.

hmmm....to name a few that i dont think have been named solid snake was always the original bad ass for me, and i used to be a hardcore duke nukem fan, till it got gay.

but if i had to decide one out of them all.......uhm....er....cloud. Thats right, the character with more problems than ol charlie manson. He got me into RPG's. I gotta face it i laughed, i cried, i spiked my hair.

Out of all the charas I have seen come and go, Dante will always be at the top of the list. Even if DMC2 is shite, I choose to remember him as he was, in number 1. A badass with a good line in quick quips and gun/swordplay.

Brutus from Brute Force rocks too.
