2121133 Princess Tana-oke-or something right?

2121087 Malcolm Reynolds? Yeah, that guy right there. Fillion and Whedon pretty much nailed the "charmingly abrasive, underdog rogue" archetype with him. Also, Tyrion Lannister? Fucking absolutely.

Aside from him and your other choices, though?

Kelsier, from Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. Lightbringer the Bold, from Sanderson's Warbreaker. I actually have a bit of a happy spot in my pants region from most of Sanderson's works, so to provide something different, Matrim Cauthon, from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. I love me a good trickster, especially because their transition from simple hooligan to balls-to-the-wall hero is usually pretty damn epic.

4. Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)

Is it bad that when I go to think of my favorite character the first ones to come to mind are my own...? (Not from fan fics...) I've been writing for so long about those worlds; those characters, that they're the first thing that comes to mind when someone asks something like this. That and I don't watch a lot of tv now days...

Just a few of my favorites...
Tila Wild Heart (Tilara Cantaren)
Guardian M-138 (Mira)
Wyle the wanderer
Nyxia (I know what you may be thinking, but the name originally came from onyx; as in the stone... but I have since added a few Nyx references into her story.)
Reshk'Aera
Vele'Sena
Val'Rheacos
Vele'Rekaj
Synn
There's so many to choose from... and I can't go and forget about the one that started it all; Vincaro

I really should get back to those stories soon... BTW, if you think writing believable OC's can be a challenge; try writing an entire original world...

heh... just realized; not one of those characters is human... not completely anyway. The four dragons can take human form. Anyone want to guess which four are the dragons?
