¿Question #2789?
Sceadeau: Who's your favorite fictional character and why?

Woelf: Until I think of a better answer, I'll go with Phil Coulson.
syphon: Harry Dresden. He's heroic, but full of hubris.
QuintMorrison: Lazarus Long from Time Enough For Love. It will take too long to explain so tl;dr = he's a 4,000 year old space colonizing libertarian who has sex with his pregnant mother. In other words, everyone's role model.
KillerPower: Uhh... tough one! There are so many of them. Maybe I would go with Raistlin Majere. Why? Because he is one of the most tragic "evil guys" I've ever read about.
oriecat: Special Agent Dale Cooper
cordeiro: I've taken a liking to Sherlock Holmes in recent years. I like heroes who use their brain.
imyourskribe: Peregrine Took, because he gives the best hobbit man hugs.
ricardofo: Horatio Hornblower, because he was a clever captain
puffinge: For now I will go with Sydney Carton, but I need to think about this some more. After all there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity.
weed131: Paul from Dune, being emporer of the known universe with a planet full of loyal followers and a girlfriend (soon to be mistress) that is ok with you marrying the hot looking former emporer's daughter? Is there really a question here, oh and he can use his voice to destroy anything. They ditched all technology years back, so board games must be popular.
Songlian: Thursday Next - she's smart AND funny. And quite adventurous and fearless.
gmonk: Me. I never know what will happen tomorrow, my life is always fiction.
Chris Page: Gaspode the Wonder Dog. Woof bloody woof.
Wibblenut: god, he creates so many arguments amongst nutters
MotUfan: He-Man. He has the power.
kjdaiisha: Luke Skywalker, he did restore hope to the galaxy.
zircher: Roger Zelazny's Corwin, because dimension travelling demi-gods are fun.
DHEK: I don't think I have a favorite fictional character. Why... well, I just don't prefer any one of the good ones over another. There are many good ones, by the way.
PopeBrain: George W. Bush, because he seems so real.
Dvlbrd666: Jesus Christ ... because he's amazing.
aleo09: no fav.
Ebon Wendigo: Samuel Vines of the Ankh-Morpork Watch because I can identify so much with him.
UhhhClem: Either Patera Silk or Charles Kinbote. I like Kinbote because he's completely insane, and Silk because he turns never lying into a secret superpower.
diehard4life: Horatio Hornblower: Honor and Duty
scriptorum: Archie Goodwin. He's the "man about town" for Nero Wolfe, an American detective featured in a few dozen books by Rex Stout. I just love to see things through Archie's eyes.
roman1967: Captain James T Kirk.
rawdawg: rocky, self explanitory
bigbadsteve: eric "stumpy joe" mungo. ya gotta like a guy named eric with a nickname like stumpy joe
cln777: Arya, resourceful
Burnham: Hmm, maybe Han Solo. Must you ask why?
vampywife: there are too many good ones to choose just one favorite!
fulgor2140: dr. zoidberg and ububububububububububububububububububu
TamiWhitsett: Roland of Gilead. He's just freakin' COOL!
mlanza: Superman. Love a good hero.
Kazin: God. He has his silly antics.
Platinum Dragon: Roomi, 'cause she's cute.
Torquato: Guybrush Threepwood - he´s a classic.
haraggan: There are many - but probably Henry Wilt, from Tom Sharpe's "Wilt" books, for his uncanny ability to frustrate and derail authorities
hacksword: Sandor Clegane, because he's a bad-ass motherfucker who doesn't give a shit.
brainrob: Sam Vimes ... just because
Favre4MVP: Elvis. Do I really have to explain myself?
_Kael_: Duh. General Kael (from the movie Willow). Cool armor, cool fighting style, and could just as easily been a 'good' general.
Famous Mortimer: Jesus, because he had cool superpowers.
captkayoss: Edmund Dante, aka The Count of Monte Cristo, aka Sinbad the Sailor. One of the most single-minded and purpose driven protagonists in literature.
Belash: Belgarath from Eddings two series' as they were the first two fantasy series' I read...
Jim_P: Petere Pan... he never grew up.
Tushratta: Ichabod Crane. Why not?
rdmasters: More toughys. Sargeant Schlock? Honor Harrington? Shannon Foraker? Iria? Alpha? Mike and Joel? Makoto Mizuhara and Ifurita? Lyta Alexander? Utena? Strong people, compentent in their fields, or stretching their boundaries. Except for Schlock. He's ... special.
djlg: Barry the Time Sprout
Lord_Prussian: Tough to pick just one. My favorite lately is Falco of the Lindsey Davis Roman PI Mystery series.
The Unbeliever: 42
JimPAX: This week? Sabriel. Why? 'Cause smart, powerful women are intriguing.
leece: The guy in the Asprin series Time Scout Malcolm Moore. He so rocks. He does a great job. Time Scout, Asprin & Evans. Sample chapters on the Baen website.
skrutsch: Right now one of my least favorite is Scarlet O'Hara. She's so selfish.
darthcliff: Richard Sharpe - He rocks!
Mosse: My invisible friend Morgan. He's cool.
heli: Gandalf's pretty good
Gecko23: Mr. Clark Willing to risk everything
snoozefest: some fantasy hero, maybe? 'cause they're ... fantastic. Rand from Wheel of Time can do no wrong.

CortexBomb: I don't think I have one
skelebone: Smoke Bailey, from the Adventures of Smoke Bailey.
chaddyboy_2000: Bubba Franks.
Tim Synge: I'll abstain from this one. I can tell from the way that you spell "favourite" that you're only talking to a US readership here.
Spielfreak: dunno. How about George Bailey from "It's a Wonderful Life".
sos1: Bilbo Baggins. I don't do "why" questions, sorry.
CDRodeffer: Kim Kinneson, because he's just that cool.
