Posts from Favorite characters. Auto-translated

I just finished reading one of the books from the "D, Vampire Hunter" series. I really liked the main character.

DInitially, I wanted to give my own short description, but I think a quote from an article would be a better option.

D is a dhampir, a half-breed. He doesn't look older than twenty. D has a beautiful, refined face of aristocratic type, pale skin, and black curly hair; he is tall and slender. His style of dress is an inconspicuous dark suit, a wide-brimmed hat, and a long cloak. His only weapon is a long, double-edged katana, which easily cuts through even stone and steel.

The hunter's face is almost always calm and expressionless, his voice is quiet and even. D speaks little, uttering short phrases and only occasionally condescending to normal speech. The dhampir's true emotions manifest only when the vampire part of his being prevails over the human. Being a half-breed, D is immune to crucifixes and sunlight, although a temporary trap created by vampires, turning night into a sunny day, can cause him severe pain. At the same time, the hunter's strength, reaction speed, and regenerative abilities are as well developed as those of any living undead. He also inherited the thirst for blood from them, which periodically awakens in D, but he successfully suppresses these urges, except in cases where it can help him complete a mission. Despite the contempt and hatred that people feel for him, he continues to help them, and not only for the money they pay him. D is always true to his promises, no matter to whom they are given.

One could say that the image is quite cliché, but thirty years ago, it probably wasn't.
By the way, the setting is quite unusual. Devoted fans of "canonical fantasy" or post-apocalyptic settings like Fallout probably won't like it.

Dedicated fans of "canonical fantasy" or post-apocalyptic settings like Fallout will likely not enjoy it.

Why not? I liked it.

Continuing the topic

About two weeks ago, Xostor told me about an amazing game - Warriors Orochi

One of the characters I liked the most is Nobunaga Oda. A magnificent commander, a brilliant strategist, a cool warrior, cunning, treacherous, full of pathos, hundreds of thousands of pathos and self-importance. He is nicknamed the Demon King by everyone for all his qualities + cruelty and authority.



My second favorite character is Magoichi Saika. A cheerful, easygoing guy, a trickster, a ladies' man, and overall a great guy. He hits with the butt of his rifle and gives lead gifts to everyone who wants them, surpassing even Rembo.



We already talked about Cao Pi.

It is also worth noting:
Zhao Yun - an excellent pikeman, a loyal friend and comrade.



Cao Cao - a great leader of the Wei kingdom with all the qualities of a great leader. Cool, but his son is even cooler. What can I say about Nobunaga's coolness...



Yukimura Sanada - a samurai, a pikeman, seriousness, kindness, pathos... but overall he is amusing.



The other characters are also well-developed, but they don't grab my attention as much

Nobunaga Oda

can you play as him in Sekiro, lol?

you can play as him in Sega games, lol

Well, for the Japanese, it's normal to take historical figures, give them a quirky design, add superpowers, and use them in anime/games in that form. In Sengoku Basara, for example, he even drinks vodka from skulls, and every time he appears, pompous music plays, and the sky suddenly gets covered with clouds.

Characters from Guilty Gear.
Axl Low




A time traveler who came from the twentieth century and wants to return to his girlfriend.

Axel is an eternal optimist, remaining so even under constant misfortune. He loves romantic adventures, but he is truly attached only to one girl - Megumi, whom he had to leave.

He reminds me of myself in some ways. By the way, his weapon resembles what Hanzo Hattori uses in Warriors Orochi, although it's slightly different.

Johnny


A man hiding his cold, calculating gaze behind sunglasses... Actually, no, he doesn't resemble Wesker at all :D The charming captain of the pirate ship "May." He has a sharp tongue and is very charismatic. A ladies' man. Selflessly helps others.

Ky Kiske



His character partially resembles Nagamasa Azai, but only partially - Nagamasa is less like a paladin and, besides, more talkative and cheerful.

Kai is a compassionate person and a devout Christian, but he also has flaws. He sees the world in black and white; people's actions are either clearly good or clearly bad for him. Nevertheless, he is working on correcting his maximalist worldview.

And, of course, there's the lovely
Dizzy

She loves spending time with nature and her friends, but she passionately hates violence.

It should be noted that in the game, the animation of all attacking moves looks as if it goes against her will. That is, just like in the plot, she doesn't control her powers. ______________________________________________________________ Characters from Samurai Shodown. Playing Guilty Gear reminded me of another fighting game, namely Samurai Shodown II, which I played five or six years ago when I didn't have internet access. I played through it, completed it, and remembered my favorite characters. I also tried playing parts 3, 4, and 5, but I liked them less, as well as the new characters. In any case...

Genjuro Kibagami



My own translation of his early biography: According to him, he killed his family and at least a thousand other people. His mother was a prostitute, so he knew nothing about his father. Despite this, he vowed to take care of his mother until his father returned home. When he was fifteen, Genjuro killed a man who stayed at their house because of his mother's request for protection from her client's drunken rage. When he turned to leave the house forever, his mother attacked Genjuro, cursing his very existence, leaving a scar on his back. In response, he killed her. Later, he travels as an assassin, often destroying pirate crews and bandit lairs. He is a cruel warrior by nature, fighting for the pleasure of killing.

Ukyo Tachibana



A quiet and calm samurai suffering from tuberculosis. He enjoys poetry and writes haiku. He loves apples.

Hanzo Hattori



In Warriors Orochi, I liked Hanzo more, but he's good here too.

I PLAYED IT TOO!

The coolest guys:

My favorite, of course, is none other than Sakon Shima. A strategist, engineer, and a strong fighter, cutting through enemy bodies with his huge, one-and-a-half-meter sword. I especially like the maturity of his character: he acknowledges himself as an excellent commander who knows what he's doing, but without any pretentiousness or cheap showboating. He's tough.


Masamune Date is simply an amazing young man, talented, enthusiastic, but somewhat temperamental. He doesn't control his outbursts of anger and doesn't tolerate mockery, being quick-witted himself. He prefers to keep up with the times, slashing with his saber on horseback while shooting deserters with a pistol. A true commissar. An old friend of the musketeer.


Ginchiyo Tachibana was liked not only by Reven, but also by me. The cutest of them all, a noble and courageous warrior. Why would you need anyone else if she's around?


Initially, he caused rejection, but later he was recognized as good: Hideyoshi Toyotomi. Undoubtedly, rejection is the first thing you can feel when you meet him, along with amusement, due to his strange appearance, nasty mustache, and funny voice. But that's how it should be; appearances can be deceiving. Over time, he appears before the player as a loyal, intelligent, and cunning general who never loses heart, has a pleasant sense of humor, and a unique fighting style.


And Ieyasu Tokugawa turned out to be an unexpected, dazzling wine of the millennium for me. A short, stocky warrior, methodically crushing enemies in his path, a noble and pure samurai in his intentions, protecting the weak, and possessing a SPEAR-CANNON, OH MY GOD, TEN OUT OF TEN, ONE HUNDRED OUT OF ONE HUNDRED! A spear-cannon! A spear-cannon! Well, that's just awesome! A spear-cannon, how I love to shoot from it! How wonderful it is, what breaches it makes in the enemy ranks, how effectively the super attacks with a flamethrower look, it's fucking Vietnam!


Pang Tong was chosen by me for a selfish, fleeting goal - to farm a new ability, and turned out to be a tough nut that I cracked until the end of the game. I sat with my mouth open, watching his anal acrobatics, only learning a few missions later that he has a personality. A dry realist, a mysterious mystic, he performs the role of a cleaner for me, instantly killing any scum at any difficulty level. Tokugawa eliminates any officer in seconds.


Dong Zhuo is the only villain I liked, and I must admit, he liked me VERY MUCH, on the level of Sakon Shima. A cruel, bloodthirsty tyrant, a ruthless general, trampling competitors like insects, with an iron hand guiding his victorious armies. A real man who takes what he wants, and no one can stop him. And he has a whole mountain of gold. In the game, I fought him for three and a half campaigns until I finally managed to defeat him completely and even recruit him into my squad. Also, in the game, he kills any officer very quickly with a special attack, grabbing him by the neck and literally trampling him into the ground.



Okuni didn't like me at all at first; she seemed a bit uninhibited and frivolous, but then it was okay. Despite everything, she is a quite nice and kind girl, wishing no harm to anyone and possessing an interesting style.


There were a few other characters, but some have already been mentioned by Reven and Hostork, and some just liked me, but didn't fully reveal themselves over time.

Here, even Loken liked it. Guys, go play Warriors Orochi and then come back here with a post about your favorite characters.
By the way, my teams are arranged like this:
Wu: Hanzo Hattori, Kunoichi, Zhou Yu.
Wei: Cao Pi, Mitsunari Ishida, Zhen Ji.
Shu: Ginchiyo Tachibana, Masamune Date, Zhuge Liang.
SW: Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Okuni, Kanetsugu Naoe.
If Wu didn't have Zhou Yu, I would definitely take Sakon or Keiji instead.

Masamune, by the way, was also on my list of favorite WO characters, but I decided to do something different. Something like an image made up of several characters.
I discovered his potential, strangely enough, only after I started watching Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox.
I was pleasantly surprised. Forgetting about his great character and appearance – the gameplay for this character is one of the best. He swings a sword and shoots pistols. He can quickly destroy both crowds of ordinary enemies and officers. Fast and varied combos. There are ranged attacks (I like using them to shoot down officers running towards me). Also, he’s the only one whose personal item I unlocked.

Sengoku Basara

Although I prefer pistols and swords over six katanas at once, and green suits him better somehow, I like it here too.

Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox

I won't spoil anything, so I will just say that it is very beautifully drawn. In this regard, only Kada from Gintama appeals to me more.
And I don't know where this screenshot (or if it even *is* a screenshot) came from. I didn't find such an anime. I assume it is somehow related to Sengoku Musou. Can anyone tell me? Rhetorical question.

I usually don’t post about my favorite anime characters here because there would be too many, but since I mentioned Sengoku Basara, I will at least list them:
1. Kojuurou Katakura

2. Masamune Date

3. Hisahide Matsunaga

4. Motonari Mouri

5. Motochika Chousokabe

6. Keiji Maeda

I haven't checked this thread in a while. Should I dust off the Warriors Orochi and Dynasty Warriors 4 discs? I need to think about it. For now, here are some minor updates to the GG characters:

His weapon, by the way, is similar to the one used by Hanzo Hattori in Warriors Orochi, although it's slightly different.

It's a standard kusari-gama, but instead of a ball on the second end, there's another kama.

The charming captain of the pirate ship "May."

May is his ward, and he is the captain of his ship, "Jellyfish." He himself is not a captain, but the leader of pirates with the same name, Jellyfish-pirates.

Now, I'll talk about the characters. Today, I felt like writing about my favorite anime characters, and I'll also touch on some other cartoon characters.

• Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
  • First up is "The Legendary Creator of Gurren-Dan from Jizhi, the embodiment of masculine spirit, the unwavering demonic leader, the Great Kamina!" There's no other way to describe him.
    
    What can I say? Watch the series; it's unlikely anyone won't like it. The main character, who not only fulfilled his dream but also made his dream the dream of the whole world. Did he die? See the picture.
    
  • And right after him, "The Department for the Extermination of Humanity, Commander of the Far Eastern Block, Viral."
    
    A character that I liked from the very beginning. And at the end, when I saw his dream, I was only convinced of the correctness of my conclusions. He follows his strict code of honor, which is also a definite plus. And, of course, in the second part of the series, he fights for humanity inside Gurren in place of the fallen Kamina.
  In general, if you haven't watched it, watch it. I rarely recommend anime, but I can't help but recommend this one.
  
• Fate/Stay Night
  Here, I'll mention a couple of characters.
  • Red Archer/Emiya Shirou, Golden Archer/Gilgamesh
    
    Cool characters. Both are archers who fight with swords, and neither has one specific weapon like the others, but a whole set of different ones. One is completely disillusioned with life and came to the tournament to kill himself in the past, but in the process, he remembers himself in his youth and fights the enemy to the death, saving the heroes (what a paradox, the second time my favorite anime character dies). The other – well, who knows why he came to the tournament :) But his dream remained unfulfilled; the King of Heroes will not get the King of Knights.
  • Lancer/Cuchulainn, Assassin/Sasaki Kojirō
    
    I want to mention these two separately. In the series itself, everyone is a bit crazy, but here are two normal and cool characters. One came to the tournament to fight, and he fought. The other claims that he never existed. And, again, both know what honor is.
  In general, yes, all these characters died.
• Berserk
  Also one of my favorite anime, despite all the dark themes. But my favorite character there is not Guts, but:
  • Judeau
    
    A simple guy who knows how to throw knives :) But in reality, he is very wise and empathetic. He dies...
• Chrono Crusade
  • Chrono
    
    A kind demon, as paradoxical as that sounds. He is forced to remain in the form of a 12-year-old boy, which, in general, is consistent with his character; he is still a child, despite the fact that in the past he defeated the Legion and helped overthrow the Pandemonium. Eh, I can't write briefly about characters. In short, he also died.
• Exosquad/Rescuers of Lieutenant Marsh
  As I said, I'll mention not only anime ;) A great cartoon, I recently rewatched it. As before, my favorite is:
  
  • Bronski
    
    A good-natured pilot of an echo-jet, who loves jokes, beer, and burps :) According to the results of Bronski's psychological testing, the psychologist concluded that he has the soul of an eight-year-old boy, and at the bottom it was scribbled, "Yes, because Bronski ate him." He is alive and well!

Well, that's a funny list. Almost all my favorite anime characters die; it's sad :(

1. William "Spike" Blood

Probably the best character from the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" series. He fought with everyone he could. Because of his love for a blonde, he regained his soul, thereby increasing his cuteness and improving his self-image. And he also died to save the world, but he returned because without him, "Angel" wouldn't be as good.
Notably, even with and without a soul, he remains a straightforward, self-important, cynical, and nonchalant troll who managed to annoy almost all the characters in "Buffy" and "Angel," with a few exceptions (by the way, Buffy and then Angel were his favorite targets for trolling). But in his past life, he was a loser and a bad poet, ridiculed by everyone around him (by the way, his poems were eventually appreciated in the final episode of "Angel," and even Angel likes his ramblings, although he would never admit it), and in general, no one loved him except his mother, so I think he's just letting off steam.

2. Xander Harris

He's in the same category as Spike, although he didn't appear in "Angel."
He's the life of the party in this group. A womanizer, although he tries to hide it, a loser, which he unintentionally reveals, initially a bit silly, but later evolves for the better. Overall, he hasn't done much wrong, except that he didn't understand Willow's feelings at the time, that's the redhead from the gang, or rather, he understood, but too late. As a result, when a passion flared up between them, they got together, he got dumped by his girlfriend, and then Willow became a lesbian in the future. Too bad, they would have been a good couple...
By the way, I think he's somewhat similar to Arandor.

3. Fakir

A clumsy knight, a writer, and a ballet dancer from the anime and manga "Princess Tutu."By the way, in the manga, he didn't seem to be a pervert, but I haven't read it properly.
Initially, he gives the impression of being an asshole, but that's because he didn't let anyone get close to his best friend, an amoeba and a prince at the same time. At first, you might mistakenly think he's gay, but that's not the case, because he's a zoophile who fell in love with a duck. For a long time, he mistreated the poor and unfortunate Ahiru, but that's all out of great, bright, and pure love for her. It's a pity, but they were never meant to be together, because in the end, in the anime, she finally turned back into a duck, and in the manga, even though she was a human, they didn't show any feelings for each other.

4. Aihara Kotoko

Kind, determined, sincere, and simple-minded, the main character of the anime and manga "Kaichou wa Maid-sama!".

5. Gokudo Yukotti Kikanshu

I don't want to describe him in words, because you have to see it.

There are many other characters, but I think it's better to write about them next time. Or maybe not write about them at all.

Huey Freeman is the main character and narrator of the comic strip and animated television series "The Boondocks." Raised in a rough neighborhood of Chicago, the ten-year-old prodigy Huey is a staunch leftist and a nonconformist. Mature for his age, well-read, politically astute, and sarcastic, he is keenly aware of current events in American society. Huey lives with his younger brother, Riley, and his grandfather, Robert. For his age, Huey is a skeptic and an intellectual. He despises the absurdity of the society in which he lives. His somewhat cynical attitude towards the established order extends to politics, religion, the media, corporations, and African-American culture. Being meticulous in both manner and speech, Huey displays views that seem contradictory to his age. Gifted with eloquence, he is capable of captivating an audience when necessary. Huey's library consists of a large collection of books. In addition, he constantly reads newspapers, watches the news on television, and takes notes to stay up-to-date on current events. Occasionally, Huey demonstrates proficiency in various martial arts and the use of bladed weapons, and in this, his skills far exceed those of a ten-year-old. (this is more for action) Huey Freeman is an advocate of revolutionary socialism, and he can easily quote Marx or lecture on Marxism and anarcho-syndicalism. As a staunch opponent of the American establishment, he also rejects African-American politicians and pop culture figures who have integrated into it. Huey is not religious, as stated in his own statements in the comic. He respects Jesus as a secular historical figure and a social revolutionary, but he is skeptical of religion. ===In the final episode of the first season, "The Passion of Reverend Ruckus," Huey, desperate to save an unjustly convicted man from execution, falls to his knees and begins to pray, saying:
"I've never prayed in my life... I don't even know who I'm praying to... Maybe I'm too young to understand what the world should be like... But the world shouldn't be like this. The world can't be like this."===

A smile rarely appears on the face of the pessimist, skeptic, and conspiracy theorist Huey—he only smiles four times in the animated series. He seems to be in a bad mood almost all the time, but sometimes he has a rather puzzled expression. Huey is always polite to others (except those he considers counter-revolutionaries).

------------------------
I should have posted this in the previous post, but I must have forgotten or thought that he wasn't yet one of my favorites. Now, the time has come. I really like this guy, his thoughts, his views, even if I don't agree with all of them.

I was sitting and thinking (earlier this morning) why not write about a few characters from the books? Urza, Planeswalker One of the main characters from the Magic: The Gathering books. A tech geek, scientist, mechanic, a bit of a commander, and just a sweetie. Frax and Macri A fat, unlucky detective who lives in a tavern, kicked out of the palace for drunkenness, and out of the school of magic for... I don't remember, constantly devouring food and beer. And his girlfriend, Macri, is half-human, a quarter-elf, and a quarter-orc. MMMULTIRACIAL!! A runaway orc gladiator. Zhuga Autumn Fox, a red-haired herbalist, an overpowered staff wielder, an overpowered healer using herbs. Well, and... perhaps Larana. Dragonlance. Because she's a sweetie.

Gordon Freeman. Half-life
A silent scientist with a shotgun, crowbar, a bunch of grenades in one hand, and a gravity gun in the other.

Good choice! :)

1. The Nameless Hero from Gothic 4

A good guy who beat up hordes of skeletons, demons, and others, and saved the world.

2. Arantir from Heroes of Might and Magic V

A necromancer, an organized commander, and a fighter against demons.

3. Sandro from Heroes of Might and Magic III:smile20: (I didn't like Heroes of Might and Magic VI:( )

I won't say anything here, he's just awesome.

4. Raynor STAR CRAFT 1, 2

A cool character, an interesting story, and engaging missions with him.

5. Zeratul STAR CRAFT 1, 2

A mysterious, faceless shadow from the past, I really like him.

Favorite characters.
Kirr from Heroes of Might and Magic III.
Frank Algernon Cowperwood from The Desire Trilogy (financier - Titan - Stoic).
All the characters from Winnie-the-Pooh.
All the characters from Popol Vuh.

I have many favorite characters, and I can't list them all, so I'll write about the ones that immediately come to mind:


Jill Valentine - A character from the 1st and 3rd installments of the Resident Evil series. Fearless, brave, even desperate, she will always come to the rescue in any situation; in general, she left only a positive impression. Besides, the remake of the first part, where she was one of the main characters, is, in my opinion, the best game in the series.


Billy Coen - a character from Resident Evil Zero. At first glance, he seems like a bad guy and a criminal, and there's nothing to say about him, but... as always, in the end, he turns out to be a hero, a helper, a savior, etc. And in general, he's a guy with a sense of humor, a cute guy who killed 23 creatures (although this is not proven).

Shyvana - I practically know nothing about her, but as soon as I saw her in League of Legends, I immediately felt "sympathy." Usually, girls in games are something dressed in armor and a bra, and they come to the battlefield straight from the beauty salon. But here is a rare exception: she is still a beautiful girl, but in normal armor, with a typical attitude towards arguments in the form of aggression and rage, as it should be.


And finally, the last character, although not from a game, but from the anime Wolf's Rain - Kiba. Brave, resilient, a little tough, but determined and purposeful, and he also values friendship. Nothing will distract him from his path, and nothing will stop him. He is ready to defend with his life. He definitely deserves attention.
