Follower Question: Who's your favorite video game character? · 9:05pm Aug 24th, 2014
Big question. Some people know right away, but I've never actually talked about my favorite video game character on Fimfiction. For a while, it was Bowser, but that changed 3 months ago. My personal favorite video game character is...
Colorado Senator Steven Armstrong, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Where do I even start with this guy. The fact that he'll do anything for his cause, the fact that he'll do anything to sway the hearts of people by ending the "War on Terror". He uses war as a business so he can stop using war as a business. He wants America to be great again, even if it means a little roughening the edges. Purging the weak out of America, so to speak.
And he's hilarious.
He's uber buff, and everything about him screams "America". He roundhouse kicks poor Raiden into a wall saying "Don't fuck with THIS senator!" I don't really think I can top that. Not only that, DAT FINAL BOSS THEME.
Truly one of the best characters ever IMO. What's your favorite Video game character?

This sexy devil.
Allow me to explain. Groose is one of those Zelda characters that, while not playable, get a good amount of screentime. Not only that, Groose has, by far, the most character development of any Zelda character.

He goes from uppity douchemonkey, evolves into a worried mess when Zelda is kidnapped, and by the end of the game (especially after a few battles against the Banished with Groose's bomb-catapulting "Groosenator"), he ends up being Link's homeboy.

I pray to Shigeru Miyamoto every night, hoping that Groose will be accepted into the new Super Smash game, and into Hyrule Warriors. Because this pompadour'd S.O.B. is freakin' great.

Gonna have to go with Dante from Devil May Cry. He's pretty much the silliest dude around while everyone else is always being super serious (although he can still be serious when the situation calls for it), and him as a character is probably one of the biggest reasons next to the fast paced and wicked crazy gameplay as to why the Devil May Cry series (excluding the reboot and 2) is so much fun to play. I just love him so much.
You could put Dante in just about any game and anytime he shows up would be a grand 'ol time.
I think Halo is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.
My favorite video game character is probably Jack of Blades from Fable: The Lost Chapters. Man, I can't even describe how much I love him, so you'll just have to take my word for it when I say he's easily one of the best villains of all time.
He needs no explanation

1) Bowser (Paper Mario)
2) Nathan Drake (Uncharted)
3) Kazooie (Banjo-Kazooie)
4) Wario (MarioKart 64)
The second picture posted reminds me a bit like one boss from MGS3, Volgin. As for my fav. character... It would probably be this guy
cdn.obsidianportal.com/assets/195987/Tyber_Zann.JPG
Tyber Zann. He first appears in Star Wars Empire at War: Forces of Corruption while in jail(was in there for a good reason). You make a jail brake, with the help of Han Solo, then that is where the real part of the campaign starts. Tyber is a crime lord who leads his own faction with his own armies.
It would be too hard to really explain entirely on what I like about this guy, but he holds a grudge on the Empire because they kicked him out of the academy. If there is one thing Zann doesn't have or try to get, it is morals. He will lie, cheat, steal, back-stab, bribe, kidnap, enslave, torcher, and many other things.
Here is the theme to his faction

Maaaan, Jack of Blades is one slick motherfucker. He's probably one of the better and more interesting villains to fight.
If I have to choose a character, there's only one option. Hands, down, my favorite videogame character out there is, and forever will be, LeChuck, from the Monkey Island series. An imposing character that still keeps a comedic side, especially in certain encounters with Guybrush, but remaining the terrifying ghost zombie demon pirate. I've played all five Monkey Island games, and it's a villain you just can't avoid loving.

This is THE robot that had me liking pretty much every and any robot in almost every game. Heartless and emotionless at first, he later "short circuits" after the Flicky(Bird) in Sonic Adventure that Amy was protecting looked him in the eyes. Further into his story, he doesn't go good guy and confront his original controller (Eggman). Instead, he decides to find his brothers (other E-series modeled after him and Beta) and destroys them. Freeing them from Eggman's control and releasing the Flicky (Animal) inside the E-series robot. In the end, he "free's" all his brothers and is fatally injured by Beta before Beta dies. Beta unknowingly helped him in his mission to free all E-series (Himself included). And dies. Freeing the father of the Flicky that Amy was protecting (Beta was in possession of the Mother) and it ends with the Father and Mother flying happily away. A story like that, made me just fall in love with E-102. Even though he never appears again.
My favorite video game character of all time would have to be Krieg the Psycho from Borderlands 2.
On the planet of Pandora, the psychos essentially reign supreme. They're THE funniest enemies, and come with both Badass and Midget variations. Not to mention Flaming and Suicide flavors, for those of you who are Badass or Midget-intolerant. Krieg is literally the BEST you could hope for when it comes to playing as one. His primary playstyles are all crazy and chaotic, whether it's spraying machine gun bullets everywhere, running up to Badasses and MELEEING them(in a shooting game, which is pretty suicidal), or SETTING YOURSELF ON FIRE AND BECOMING A RAGING DEMON OF DEATH!
I also love Krieg character-wise. He has an insane side, but he also has a sane side that seems to be who he was before he became a psycho. Couple that with numerous mentions of a mysterious 'her' that pops up in multiple quotes of his, and you have a recipe for quite possibly the best character in the game!
Edward Kenway3.bp.blogspot.com/-qlfllT5v0JA/UtHOZ6O8w1I/AAAAAAAAArY/Ld2M6X9yFTU/s1600/AssassinsCreedIV-2.png
From the wiki: Edward James Kenway (1693 – 1735) was a Welsh-born British privateer-turned-pirate and a member of the Assassin Order.
Edward joined the British Royal Navy early in his life and, once accepted, found himself stationed in the West Indies. However, a quick end to the war and the promise of gold, glory and fame eventually seduced him into a life of piracy; it was during this quest that Edward first encountered the Assassin and Templar Orders, and became embroiled in their struggle.
Over the next few years, Edward struggled with the internal conflict that arose from his desire for fame and riches – through the finding of the Observatory - and what he saw as his recompense for bringing death and destruction upon the Assassins. Eventually, Edward chose to entrust the Observatory to the Assassins, and elected to join their Creed.
Edward was the father of Haytham Kenway and the grandfather of Ratonhnhaké:ton; through this line, he is an ancestor of William Miles, and his son, Desmond.

I'm just gonna copy-pasta a thing I wrote a while ago, since it's still true, and I'm disproportionally proud of it.
cosplayfox.com/ebay/Wall_Paper-_Axel_2.jpg
Why do I like Axel? I suppose I could say "because he's awesome," and leave it at that, but I'm better than that.
*Warning! Major spoilers for KH II and KH 358/2 Days!*
I like Axel because, put simply, he's a bad-ass. After literally losing his heart, he's dragged into an organization by an old friend who starts to act more and more distant and uncaring. He makes friends with two new organization members, only to have revelations about them strain his already thin bond with Saïx and stretch his new friendships almost to the breaking point. His two friends just up and run away one day, and he's left alone in an organization he doesn't care for, with a goal he doesn't understand. He finds hope in his final chance to salvage one friendship, but when Roxas doesn't remember him, he decides to just be on his own from now on, since it'll result in less heartbreak. Even this doesn't work though, so he decides his life is basically over and starts helping Sora - the last remnant of his last real friend - from behind the scenes, which means betraying the organization, which means certain doom for him. This ends with his last stand against his own kind with Sora in the realm of darkness, where he sacrifices his very existence to help his last remaining friend, who no longer even consciously remembers him. And throughout almost all of this, he still manages to keep up that enthusiasm for life in front of others. He only expresses his anger at the shitty hands fate continues to deal him once (resulting in my favourite scene in the entire series, I might add). If that doesn't make him worthy of best character status, I don't know what would.
