What is your favorite video games characters?

I would have to say my top 3 favorites gotta be Pikachu,Mario,and its gotta be Master Chief.

My favorite video game characters are Pacman and Mario (which is pretty obvious to everybody because of my username).

My favourite video game character is Kirby from Kirby because (insert giant text explaining why he is so awesome)

Kirby really is amazing

Several answers come to mind. I was always fond of Sephiroth from FF7. And Tails from the Sonic series. I even had the Game Gear game that featured Tails as the main character when I was a kid. But my favorite characters all come from the same sources.

3) Guybrush Threepwood, the star of the Monkey Island series. No matter the challenge Guybrush Thriftwand... I mean Threepgood can usually find the solution in a rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle, or a well placed insult. If all else fails, there's always root beer and voodoo.

2) Sam and Max, the Freelance Police. It's amazing how far casual indifference to danger, heavy ordinance, and lateral thinking can get you. Sam and Max have been the stars of comic books, games, and a very short lived television series which I think was cancelled due to unparalleled cartoon genius.

And, coming in first place:

Deathspank, Hero to the Downtrodden, Vanquisher of Evil, and Friend of Orphans.... well, friend may be a little strong... The trilogy of games that features Deathspank has earned my respect for a strange reason. The character is... slightly retarded, but in an undeniably funny and entertaining way, yet when viewed as a whole, the trilogy makes an excellent example of how a righteous vigor to attain justice and eliminate all evil can become a larger evil than anything else could be. I suppose it may not be immediately apparent because I'm not sure if it was intended by the designers. My comments won't do much justice, though, so here's a video.

It's really hard to pick my favorite video game character, but I have to say, I like Mario, mostly the most games I've played is a Mario game.

Ooh, this is a tough question, my favorite video game character is probably Chrom from Fire Emblem, but it's a tough choice. 

Its an easy question. Mines cloud strife

My favorite video game character is Link he has a sword and just about every weapon even weapons that don't exist but are really cool such as the pegasus boots.

My favorite is Pikachu, and Mario.

My favorite would have to be Proto Man. He is just so cool.
