Posts from Favorite characters. Auto-translated

Just a little more...

Schrodinger

A hero from the anime Hellsing, an ultimate character. I really like the image of Schrodinger.

Vash Stampede

One of the first anime I watched, Trigun. I think it's one of the best. Vash the Stampede is a cool guy.

Here are a couple more:
well, everyone will recognize them.

Oops... I thought everyone had watched at least one episode of "Merlin". Apparently not?? Well, in the first frame, that's him – Merlin. (The wizard at King Uther's court, Arthur's father).
In the second frame (although the quality is poor), it's a vampire from the movie "Interview with the Vampire." Brad Pitt plays the vampire.

1. Prince of Persia

From the very first seconds of the game, I fell in love with this character. The image of a person trying to change his fate, no matter what.

2. Baron Munchausen

As a child, I loved rereading stories about him, and I also loved the cartoons and the movie.

3. Wolverine

I loved the comics and cartoons about mutants as a child. Wolverine was my favorite character in that universe. I always liked his straightforwardness and confidence in his abilities.

4. Spider-Man

Another favorite hero from the Marvel universe. I even had a custom-made costume of him once :rolleyes:

5. Hector

Every time I watch the movie, I hope that Achilles doesn't defeat him, hehe)), what a silly thing to hope for.
Unlike Achilles, Hector doesn't seek glory or immortality; he simply defends his land. He is kind and sensitive, and at the same time, a skilled and brave warrior. It's interesting that the image described by Homer in the Iliad differs from the movie version. The movie version seems better to me.

6. Blade

Yeah, vampires these days aren't what they used to be.
I think he's one of the best vampires in cinema, a real man

I've made some edits to my post. Instead of just listing a few favorite characters (like last time), I tried to list my five absolute favorites as accurately as possible.

It's hard for me to pick my absolute favorites, maybe because there aren't any, but there are many characters that I like or find appealing. Characters from the game Baldur's Gate (spoiler!) Khalid Race: Half-elf Class: Warrior From the game: Khalid nervously mentions that he was born and raised in Calimshan. He doesn't say much about his parents, but it seems that his merchant father didn't care much for him, paying more attention to Khalid's brothers. As a result, Khalid began to learn the art of war from members of the city militia. He doesn't reveal how he met Jaheira, but it's clear that he adores her. Khalid and his wife, Jaheira, are among the main characters of the game. They are the ones who must help the main character on his dangerous journey. Unfortunately, he dies in the second part. Khalid is a bit nervous, speaks with a stutter, but he is a good friend, a loyal husband, and an overall positive character. I don't know why, but he inspires trust, and I would go on a journey with him. He is the only warrior from the games that I like. Garrick Race: Human Class: Bard From the game: Garrick says that he played in the Troubadours of the Valley Wind troupe until it turned out that the performances were just a cover for thieves operating in the crowd of spectators. Rejected by his old friends, he now just wants to travel and play music for those who will listen. He seems a bit naive and willing to believe anyone. A young bard, an optimist, an adventurer, and just a good guy. Kivan Race: Elf Class: Ranger From the game: Kivan says that he was born in the Silmyr Forest, but he hasn't been to his homeland for a long time. He wanders the world, driven by the darkest of passions – revenge. Several years ago, he and his girlfriend, De'Arnise, went on what was apparently a romantic journey, but they were ambushed by a gang of bandits. They were captured and tortured for the amusement of Tatz, the leader of the bandits. Eventually, Kivan managed to escape, but De'Arnise could not get out of captivity alive. Kivan is taciturn, and it is clear that he does not make friends easily. It seems that life will not be easy for him until he takes revenge for the death of his beloved. Kivan is cold and extremely unfriendly, and common rules of politeness do not concern him. Although I didn't take him as a companion in the group, I like this character. Haer'Dalis Race: Tiefling Class: Bard From the game, before traveling with the protagonist: Haer'Dalis claims that he is from the city of Sigil, the center of realities and a constantly changing realm of the Lady of Pain. He says that he cannot explain it in more detail, since realities cannot be described due to their changing nature. Haer'Dalis traveled with a troupe of actors, just like him – inhabitants of different worlds. They staged plays for the nobility and commoners. But some mistake led to the troupe having to flee to the Prime Material Plane... here... but Haer'Dalis is not very worried about it. He claims that he is a Fate's Guardian, and believes in the inevitable cycle of nature. The troupe split up, but the tiefling bard is sure that this gave him only new life experience. After traveling with the protagonist: Haer'Dalis traveled a lot with the protagonist through the Realms, and when they parted, he wanted to see more. He visited such diverse places as Waterdeep, Neverwinter, and Tay, fleeing to the next city from the troubles he got into in the previous one. Later, he befriended a Cambion woman, and together they returned to the Abyss in order to inadvertently stop a rebellion on several levels of the Lower Planes. For some time, Haer'Dalis was the most wanted target in all plans, but the anger of his enemies could not defeat his thirst for travel, and he returned to the city of Sigil unharmed. There he reunited with the Railis troupe and was glad to finally settle down - until the next disagreement, of course. A charismatic and interesting character, a favorite from the second part. Keldorn Race: Human Class: Paladin From the game, before traveling with the protagonist: Keldorn Firecam is one of the most powerful and respected members of the Order of the Shining Heart, and his goal is to get into the ruling echelons of this order. He prefers to fight on the battlefield, only there does he feel at home. Keldorn sighs and begins to count how many years he has served Torm, as a paladin of the noble Order of the Shining Heart. He has fought so many battles, protecting the defenseless and punishing evil, that he no longer remembers how many. A veteran of battles, with numerous scars and wounds, Keldorn is thoughtful when he talks about his future retirement and the possibility of spending more time with his family. However, when mentioning his family, Keldorn's eyes wander, and his face loses its usual features. With bitterness in his voice, he whispers that duty is more important to him than his personal problems, at least as long as the Order is with him. Keldorn often helps adventurers if their intentions are pure. He spends most of his time in the city of Athkatla, where the main halls of his order are located. After traveling with the protagonist: Keldorn Firecam thought that his travels with the protagonist meant the end of his active career, both as an adventurer and as a servant of the Order. He retired in Athkatla, hoping to live in peace, as much as an old warrior can hope for. But one day, the call to service came to him for the last time. This was a few years later, when Amn was besieged by giants. In his sixtieth winter, Keldorn, with five knights, held a strategic pass until reinforcements arrived from Amn. He stood his ground, but his wounds were so severe that the old paladin fell on the battlefield. As the knights saw, the hand of Torm descended from the heavens, and when it rose, Keldorn disappeared. Since that day, images of the True God have been supplemented by the valiant spirit of Keldorn in his right hand. A man of duty and honor, a true knight. P.S. In general, there are many interesting characters in BG, including negative ones. Unfortunately, I don't remember anyone from other games, maybe I'll remember later. Characters from movies, cartoons, and books will be later.

Cyclops (real name Scott "Slim" Summers) is a mutant and possesses the ability to emit laser beams from his eyes, which forces him to wear special glasses at all times and a special visor during combat. The beams possess immense power and are capable of piercing even the adamantium skeleton of Wolverine. The reason Scott cannot control his optic beams is due to brain damage that occurred in childhood during a plane crash. Perhaps his powers led to a restrained and meticulous personality. However, the same qualities make him an ideal leader for the X-Men, and even teammates like Wolverine, who considers him a "grown-up scout," admire his leadership skills. Scott was the first student recruited by Charles Xavier and one of the original five X-Men.
Abilities: Emission of powerful beams from the eyes, Intuitive sense of geometry, Natural leadership skills, Excellent physical fitness, Hand-to-hand combat skills, Master pilot skills.
My favorite superhero, if you can call him that) although I also like Batman



Samwise Gamgee

After the last viewing of Lord of the Rings, my perspective on the entire story changed, especially regarding the friendship between Frodo and Sam. I realized that Sam is probably one of the best characters in The Lord of the Rings. He is an excellent friend, loyal and reliable, honest and brave (maybe he could even give some warriors a run for their money). Yes, I wouldn't refuse such a friend, and he would be an ideal companion on a journey.

John Dorian (J.D.)

A character from the American comedy-drama "Scrubs." No comments will help here; you need to see it.

Philip J. Fry

In terms of character, Fry is an amorphous loser who doesn't want to change anything in his life. It can't be said that he is very stupid, but due to incredible laziness, he is simply incapable of long-term thought processes. Fry is not particularly intelligent and leads a shameless, brazen lifestyle. He lives in the apartment of his best friend, Bender, behaves like a real pig (although this doesn't bother the apartment's owner), and rarely makes plans even for five minutes ahead.
We are partially similar; we have common traits and desires. I like the storyline in which he tries to win the affection of his girlfriend, Leela.


Liseerge Diethel is one of the main and most contradictory characters in Shaman King.
A young shaman-dowser. He was born and lived in London with his parents. Like all dowsers, he had to undergo a trial to obtain his spirit guardian. Liseerge had to find a key that opened the cage in which Chloe (his future guardian) was imprisoned. On top of Big Ben, he found the key and then headed home to tell his parents. But when he returned, the house was almost gone. Everything around was engulfed in flames. In the middle of the room, he saw a mysterious shaman who said that the boy's parents would never return, after which he left. After this, Liseerge vowed to avenge his parents and began searching for shamans who were stronger than him in order to make them his allies. He is one of the five strongest shamans.
Almost always sad and thoughtful, driven only by revenge. The character is well-developed; he often has to solve complex problems and make choices.


P.S. to be continued...

Yeah, it seems like things went a bit off track towards the end :smile01:
But let's get back to our favorite heroes. I like Horus (which is also the name I chose for myself :)) – for those who don't know, Horus is a character from the book "Sons of Horus" in the Warhammer 40000 series :smile49:

1. General Sturnn, under whose skillful leadership Lorn 5 was cleansed of heretics and three types of the most vile xenos. A man capable of leading a whole demonic world to the light of the Emperor with just a handful of recruits.


2. Caleb, up to his ears in BLOOD. No grimaces, no pompous speeches. Motivation: REVENGE, but this son of a cutthroat and a syphilitic whore doesn't necessarily need it to enjoy killing.


3. Oh-oh-oh! Pathetic hacker, taste my laser turrets.


4. I think many people know this iron yoba-man.


5. This noble lady, possessing a particularly interesting and tragic fate, and also representing a curious example of alien flora. The only one who sincerely loves the hapless captain (to whom they simply don't give a break) of their humble spacecraft, which was given the factory name Lexx.


6. This somewhat clumsy gentleman from the common folk, who was incredibly lucky. It is also impossible not to note his companions, who played a huge role in the knight's story.


7. The second gentleman of this kind.

Those who are upset know it themselves.

8. A man for whom I couldn't find art, and perhaps that's for the better. The man's name is James Bolivar DiGriz, he is quite overpowered and extremely lucky, a jack-of-all-trades, but nevertheless, he doesn't cause rejection. Probably because he is smart, agile, and doesn't whine. And for a few other reasons. A very warm and endearing character from a book series from the last century about a steel rat.


9. This modest gentleman, named Roland Deschain. In fact, if you ignore the bird, this picture shows the main characters of an entire series of literary works. He is somewhat slow-witted, has strained relationships with optimism, but is noble, excellent with revolvers, and represents a true paladin. Not a fantasy one, of course, but a more realistic one.
You don't necessarily have to believe these few artworks; he doesn't shoot with his right hand that often.


As with Sir William Thatcher, one cannot fail to note at least one more character from this epic named Cuthbert Allgood, who is (or was?) Roland's best friend in childhood and youth, possesses (possessed?) an excellent sense of humor, and most of the artworks depicting him are quite poor, like this one, for example. This character evoked the greatest sympathy and kinship in me; I could have been that person if it weren't for the imperfection of the mortal soul, filled with eternal sarcasm, malice, and contempt. On the other hand, his method ultimately led to nothing good, so who knows?...

long post

Who's better?

I don't know. Well, you could mention Light, I'm more aligned with his ideology. Although this ideology is imposed by the Death Note.

Perhaps, the first place on my list goes to the main character of a rather old anime – City Hunter, namely Saeba Ryo. Along with his incredible coolness, he is also very funny and very kind (I don't know how to say it better). And in general, he is simply awesome (mostly because of his actions).

How could I forget about the characters from my favorite movie?

Well, it's all quite complex. There are many characters, and they are all good. Okay, I'll try to highlight a few, focusing on choosing exactly one character from each world. Actually, it's funny that after the first three, it became quite difficult to single anyone out; there are too many beloved characters: Corben Dallas and John McClane, Drizzt and Volkodav, Guts and Archers, Legolas and Danika de Mopassan, and many others. But still, here they are, singled out:

• As an avid D&D player, I'll start with Forgotten Realms. I'd like to mention many, but there's one bright, charismatic character who stands out among the others in FR. In terms of D&D, this is a 25th-level character (out of a maximum of 20) with a charisma of 18 (how can you not love him? ;) ). Well, who guessed? Meet:
  Jarlaxle Baenre
  
  The most charismatic character in the universe, a rare example of pure chaotic-neutral. He is well described by a quote from the book:

  On his shaved head sat a completely incredible, wide-brimmed hat, adorned with a huge plume of diatrema feathers. Instead of a cloak or mantle, he wore a cape that shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow in both the normal and infrared spectrum. A short, sleeveless shirt revealed well-defined abdominal muscles. In addition, he wore an unimaginable number of different jewels: rings, chains and necklaces, bracelets, even ankle bracelets - and all of them jingled loudly, but only when the mercenary himself wanted them to. As did the boots, which clacked so loudly on the stone floor of the chapel, all these valuables could make no sound at all.
  Mother Baenre noticed that Jarlaxle's usual eye patch was moved to his left eye today, but what that meant, if it meant anything at all, she didn't know.
  And who could say what magical powers were contained in his eye patch, trinkets, and boots, in the two magic pouches tucked into his belt, or in the beautiful sword hanging on a strap next to them? Mother Baenre suspected that half of these things were fakes, with very minor magical abilities or none at all; perhaps they could only remain silent when moving. In general, half of everything Jarlaxle did was a bluff, but the rest of his actions were cunning and extremely dangerous.

  
  
  .
• The second world will be Star Wars. There are many interesting personalities in this world, but I can only choose one. Strength and heart suggest the choice. And let it be:
  Obi-Wan Kenobi
  
  A Jedi Knight, closest to the ordinary clone soldiers. Kind, wise, strong. Just like me, in short :rolleyes: The character type actually resembles me, and I also like him. The actors, in my opinion, were also chosen excellently for both the old and the new trilogies.
  
  .
• The third world is related to my esports childhood, Unreal. Yes, both in Unreal and in Unreal Tournament, characters are not the main thing; the gameplay is the most important, but there are also bright personalities there. My favorite is:
  Xan Kriegor
  
  A multiple Tournament champion, who went through two parts of UT and was mentioned in two others. In the past, he was one of the rebel robots, but when he was captured, he managed to resist several memory wipes! As a result, his memory was still reprogrammed, but he remained an excellent fighter.
  
  .
• And here it's not esports, but my childhood in general :) The main character of the series of games and TV series named after him:
  Sonic The Hedgehog
  
  A bright, positive, cheerful supersonic hedgehog, who turned blue from his speed. I didn't watch the cartoons at all, but the games were enough to fully reveal the character's personality. Yes, I haven't played the very latest ones, but that's enough for me.
  
  .
• Well, how can we do without Warhammer 40k? There are countless characters here. And, for this reason, and for another reason, I will deviate from what was stated at the beginning and indicate two. The first:
  Erwin Ramas
  The legend of the Gothic Sector Battle Fleet, captain of the cruiser "Drachenfels," the only one who allows himself to speak on equal terms even with Lord-Admiral Ravensburg himself. In the past, he was the only one who survived on the bridge after a torpedo attack by Eldar pirates. The Adeptus Mechanicus managed to preserve a spark of life in his disfigured body, and now Erwin was forever imprisoned in an armored cabin somewhere in the depths of the cruiser. His hoarse laughter, sarcastic comments, and proud behavior of a space fleet officer create a character that delights the reader every time he appears in the plot. Unfortunately, no portraits have been drawn of him.
  Therefore, a picture is needed, so meet the second:
  Caius Solaris "The Hero of Armageddon"
  
  The most unusual commissar in the Universe. He describes himself as the most heroic coward in the Imperium. An excellent swordsman, a troll, a liar, not a virgin. Caring about his own ass, he is ready to protect his regiment and take care of it so that they then protect him with their bodies. He is constantly trying to slip away to a quiet place and constantly ends up in the thick of it, a typical example: he tried to desert from the battlefield, literally around the corner he ran into a hundred Tyranids and, running away from them with one chainsword, ended up under the fire of his own artillery, which was regarded by the Imperials as a feat, they say he lured them there on purpose, and he went without a weapon, only with a sword, and Cain was awarded an order. In general, it's stupid to talk about him; it's better to read the books.
  
  .
• And, of course, another favorite from childhood:
  Sir Sherlock Holmes Esquire
  
  Is there anything to say about him? I don't think so.

I haven't mentioned many, but I won't write any more, or the whole forum won't be enough ;) .

About two weeks ago, Xostor told me about an amazing game – Warriors Orochi, which I’ve played a lot since then and continue to play now. It has a huge number of characters, almost all of whom I liked in one way or another. In addition, each of them has their own unique fighting style and a distinctive appearance (compared, for example, to MK, where most of the characters differ only in skin). Besides that, the game has wonderful music. Strangely enough, I didn't play with the Japanese voice acting; instead, I used the English version. To my surprise, I didn't regret it because, after comparing, I found that I preferred most of the voices in the English version.
Soon, I plan to play other games in the series (currently, there are Dynasty Warriors 4 and 6, but I don't know which one to start with; maybe even earlier ones; the problem is that some might not even have an English translation). The game also features excellent art. It would be enough for ten mafia stories.
Below, I will list the characters I liked the most.

My favorite character is undoubtedly the constantly serious Cao Pi.






Next comes Mitsunari Ishida, who became his friend in Warriors Orochi (perhaps one of the reasons why I like him so much; I enjoy seeing them as close friends), as well as the ninja Hanzō Hattori. In the game, Mitsunari plays the role of a cleaner, instantly killing any scum at any difficulty level. Hanzo eliminates any officer in seconds.

Mitsunari Ishida




Hanzō Hattori




I liked the conversation between Mitsunari and Cao Pi in the final Wei video.


Zhen Ji
Cao Pi's wife. I like her both as a character and as a fighter, although it was unusual to play with her at first. Later, it turned out that she has some attacks based on the same principle as Cao Pi. To unlock her, I had to work very hard.

Azai Nagamasa
A cool guy. He would never act dishonestly; he will fight (both personally and commanding an army) fairly, even if it is not advantageous.

Ginchiyo Tachibana
Perhaps one of the most warlike characters. Braver than any man. I refuse to move in any direction but forward!

Kunoichi
A very funny girl, also a ninja like Hanzo. The dialogue during their first meeting in Warriors Orochi amused me, right in the middle of the battle. "Hey, isn't it Mr. Miserable! How ya been, Hanzō?"
"Assist me." (he is always concise; in the English voice acting, it sounds great too)
"Okay, but only if you admit that I'm the better ninja! Heh heh heh!" (the laugh is also amazing)

Tadakatsu Honda
In the game, he is presented as one of the strongest warriors, equivalent to Lu Bu (a bit dim-witted, but no less strong). He protects the weak.
He has a funny expression on his face.

Da Ji
She looks like a sweet, harmless, kind girl, but she is actually cunning and treacherous, just as cruel.

Actually, there are many more characters in the game that I really liked, but I played with the ones listed above the most and got to know them better. It would be easier to list the characters I didn't like, and there are very few of them.

Favorite characters from the Devil May Cry 4 (DMC) game: Dante In all parts except this one, Dante is the main hero. Cheerful and at the same time ruthless, Dante is a demon hunter and owns a bureau called "Even a Devil Can Cry." Nero In this part, Nero appears for the first time. As a warrior of the Order of the Sword, he initially hunts Dante on the orders of Sanctus, who plans to conquer the world. Trish Dante's partner, a demon skillfully created to kill Dante, but saved by him in the first part.
