Ok folks! Remember when I first joined and made a top 10 for favorite video game characters? My list has actually changed since then! For the newcomers since that time and people who posted their lists before why not do it again. So LET'S GO #1 Sonic The Hedgehog [Origin: Where do you think?] Been playing his games (along with Mario's) since I was 3 years old. The blue blur still holds my loyalty to this day lots of fun games. His attitude and image songs always pump me up, he is the 90's personified and its awesome. Also looking forward to getting Lost World and playing as him in Smash 4 #2 Zero [Origin: Megaman X] Zero the Maverick hunting badass, with his saber and long hair how could I not like him? His growth and origins through the X series are great and his own series just continues to show why we care about him, tragic event after tragic event haunt him but he remains strong throughout and is not afraid to sacrifice himself for the greater good or his friends. #3 Aerith [Origin: Final Fantasy 7] Aerith the innocent flower girl of the slums of midgar. She has remained one of my top favorite characters in gaming history due to both her personality and attitude and her willingness to help others, espcially Cloud even when he was in his worst states [although Tifa was the one who broke him out of the funk at last] She even helps the group mulitple times after her She just has the best interests of everyone yet has a very spunky and playful attitude. I still want art of her in SOLDIER Gear if anyone wants to draw that hahaha #4 Ichiro Ogami [Origin: Sakura Wars] Captain of an all girls fighting squad who pilots Steam Mechas is no easy task and poor Ichiro has to deal with it. But he manages it with his sense of duty and justice with some awkwardness spread around. He is basically me as a video game character as Breezy and Integrity have pointed out both positively and negatively #5 Luke Fon Fabre [Origin: Tales of the Abyss] Luke is another case of "Character who is like me" but its even deeper then Ichiro's. Luke's original snotty attitude is honestly what I somewhat was like as a kid and its a bit jarring but his development and atonement also remind me of my teenage years and how I developed into who I am now I suppose that was a bit more personal then expected but hey. Luke is a great character and is a great role model to those who wish to better themselves even after errors. Not to mention his cool swordsmanship abillities and his love for Tear [LukexTear for life] #6 Richter Belmont [Origin: Castlevania Rondo of Blood] The all symphony badass, Richter knows how to do his job as a vampire hunter and do it well. Often being called the strongest of the Belmont clan and its obvious why with his extremely acrobatic abillities and mastery of the whip, not to mention his devotion to good despite being able to be manipulated and have to be saved by the combined efforts of Maria and Alucard #7 Cecil Harvey [Origin: Final Fantasy 4] [ugh I hate the lipstick on his arrrrt] Anyways Cecil is one of my favorite protagonists in a game as well, his atonement and caring for his friends and his lover Rosa in any situation before himself always made me want to be more like him. A paladin of virtue although he isn't the smartest crayon in the box [ask Golbez] He shines like a beacon of light to those in need. #8 Alys Brangwin [Origin: Phantasy Star 4] Alys is just awesome, she can kick ass and take names with her amazing boomerang skills and she knows how to do her job and being downright intimidating yet very kind and motherly when she needs to be around the young and inexperienced Chaz #9 Matthew [Origin: Fire Emblem] Matthew is another super favorite, he is cheery and kind. Yet takes his spy work seriously. His supports in Fire Emblem Blazing Sword are also some of the most heart wrenching and best written in the francise and I never miss a chance to use him despite his late promotion. [Poor Leila...] #10 Magnus Gallant [Origin: Ogre Battle 64 Person of a Lordly Calibur] Magnus doesn't have it easy. He gets positioned in one of the weakest divisions in the kingdom and finds out just how unjust the kingdom is, he is distant from his father and super loyal to Prince Yumil his best friend yet they have different goals. Magnus doesn't have easy choices ahead as leader of the Blue Knights he struggles and loses much of what he loves just so the people in the kingdom have better lives.
