Fitz

What is your fav. character of all time
The Chinese character for 'tree'. :-)

Kramer - Seinfeld

Humm, Favorite character of all time?

My choice would be Gandalf. You cant do better than that.

A dash of brettanomyces character in wine can be intriguing.

Francis Urquhart of The House of Cards, most definitely.

Methos, from the Highlander series. As a whole, the series was ok sometimes, and downright bad at others but it did spawn one of my favorite characters of any book, movie, tv show of all times.

Sam, from Lord of the Rings is right up there too though, don't really know which one I like more than the other. Book Sam and movie Sam are beyond great, the true hero of the story.

DEATH or Sam Vimes (Discworld)

Minsc and Boo. Can it possibly get any more awesome than that?

Ignatius Reilly in the book Confederacy of Dunces.

"A green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head. The green earflaps, full of large ears and uncut hair and the fine bristles that grew in the ears themselves, stuck out on either side like turn signals indicating two directions at once. Full, pursed lips protruded beneath the bushy black moustache and, at their corners, sand into little folds filled with disapproval and potato chip crumbs."

"Then you must begin a reading program immediately so that you may understand the crises of our age," Ignatius said solemnly. "Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books."

Minsc and Boo. Can it possibly get any more awesome than that?

DEATH can take Minsc.

Lord Arsrial, Will, Lyra, and lee Scolberry.
A fellow HDM fan :D But how could you miss Pantailiamon off?

Anyway. My favourties... Sam Vimes, Discworld books
Alyx Vance - Half-life 2 game - need I say more?
Ione Saldana - Night's Dawn trilogy.

DEATH or Sam Vimes (Discworld)

DEATH is indeed awesome, but I never much liked Vimes. My personal favorite is Rincewind.

...

Unicron.

Do self-created characters count? If so, I gotta give lots of kudos to Slinker, my old thief from D&D and my new character that I created for Guild Wars, Baron Von Alder.

Sephiroth. He's just cool, I wanted him to win. And he had a really big samurai sword.

Also Fonzie.

Fat Bastard.

That character from Batman. You know, the one that's a thinly veiled anti-semitic stereotype. Oh wait, that's all of them...

In actuality...not sure. I like that receptionist David Spade did on Saturday Night Live.
Jesus: "My son, I have returned for my second coming, to spread my message of purity worldwide"
Receptionist: "And you are?"

That guy was classic, but Will Ferrell's rendition of Harry Karry (sp?) was the best ever. Even Jeff Goldblum couldn't keep a straight face.

Roland The Gunslinger from Stephen King's The Gunslinger Series

or Wolf from Stephen King/Peter Straub's The Talisman

Q.You have to be kidding. Q was the lamest thing to ever happen to the Star trek franchise. Augh.

hey, the actor who plays Q makes him into an awesome character!

I guess the actor was rather humerous, but the concept of Q was so incredibly cheep - not really up to the par of inteligence I expect from trek.

no the concept of the character is weak, i agree. but once you just accept that, the actual character is cool and the actor (forget his name) is awesome :p

i like Q in the same sort of 'break-from-seriousness' or for the same sort of comedy value i like star trek 4

Best ever skit for me was "More cowbell" skit with Christopher Walken. It kills me every time :o)

Norrin Radd, aka the Silver Surfer. Him, or Mayor Salvor Hardin from Foundation.

Muad'dib from the Dune books and Ender Wiggin from the Ender series. Gotta love those tragic hero types.

Solid Snake(Metal Gear Solid)-Cmon who can resist the super spy with the fashionable haircut?

Currently? Dr. Gregory House -- hands down.

yes......a mullet is fashionable.........


*dies laughing*

Thomas Covenant from the Stephen R. Donaldson book series(The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, and The Final Chronicles of Thomas Covenant). He is still the best character I have read about.

Raistlin, Duke Leto II, and Jack Ryan come in a close group for second.

Hasimir Fenring from Dune. I like the subtle characters...he's probably a close tie with Scytale.

John McClane from Die Hard.
