I'd have to say probably my overall favorite character is Yoshi from the Mario franchise. I was young and absolutely loved dinosaurs, so when I first seen him in Super Mario World, I was hooked. I love his sounds, from "Yoshi, yoshi!" to "Kalaka-hoo!" and I can imitate him almost perfectly.

Wario. Always Wario. Ain't changing, man, especially at this time of the year where I play all Wario Land games.

Although I'm into Zelda characters lately. Suppose it's from playing A Link Between Worlds and Wind Waker back to back.


Oh yeah, Cranky Kong too.

Most recently I'm enjoying some characters from Dragon Age. Morrigan is delightfully shrewish, but I really enjoy such sass in characters. I know she's quite popular among the DA community all the same however. I'm continually impressed by characters from The Witcher series also, Iorveth has to be an ongoing character who I've always liked and admire, even though he's a complete prat.

Sir Artorias, the Abysswalker. Partially thanks to this video. Since you mentioned introductions, I'll say the way one meets him is actually quite harrowing. Throughout the game is heard mention of this implacable figure of legend, and what the player finds (and is forced to defend themself against) is a shadow, consumed by what he fought against; a corrupted soul trapped in a suit of armour animated by the Abyss. He makes for what is probably going to end up being one of my favourite boss fights ever, and is himself quite the badass despite failing his quest.

Right now I'm with Apollo - Ellie from The Last of Us is an awesome character. Despite her age she's been through a hell of a lot and will go through more (I haven't finished the game yet, no spoilers for me please) and still maintains this weird but awesome mix of sass, fear, comedy and badassery that makes her one of the most entertaining characters I have ever seen.

Mmm, I think I'm going to go with Cherche from Fire Emblem Awakening. She's pretty odd with her pet dragon. but she's also pretty beautiful and well-mannered when speaking! Plus she's a pretty good Wyvern Knight!

Maya Fey, from Ace Attorney. One of my absolute favorite females in any realm of reality ever, she's everything that makes a person perfect. She's playful, obsessive, manipulative (to a comical degree, and only to Phoenix, really), and loves a good burger. She's pretty, smart (enough), and overall wacky. And again, she loves burgers. How can I not love someone like her?

At the same time, though, her backstory's fairly tragic. Her mother left her when she was still really young and her entire village has been lauded and disgraced since an incident 15 years before the first game occurred. Her elder sister left the village (i.e. not the same as leaving her behind) and went on to become a lawyer, only for it to get said sister killed. Worse yet? She takes the blame for it. Later on, acting as Phoenix's assistant, it's nothing but complete and utter torture for her, being constantly put down and viewing herself as completely useless. She gets kidnapped, convicted of murder another time or two, placed in contempt of court, and overall has it rough all the way until Trials and Tribulations, until the games choose to make her no longer relevant. She has a lot of mental scars, yet she still puts on her biggest smile for her friends, and her innocent little cousin, and ends up being one of the most endearing characters in the entire franchise, before, during, and since.

She is THE girl I would marry from a fictional medium, and to me, she's just perfect, through and through. Some may find her annoying, some may see her as a nuisance, some may even want to see her offed entirely, but she will always be my favorite video game character of all time.

After Persona Q got introduced, Minato Arisato once again =D
I haven't seen better protagonist in any game I played.
His attitude, his uber power, his *insert all characteristics you can raise*, I like everything about him as a protag.

The King of Awesome himself, Bowser, especially after playing Bowser's Inside Story, Dream Team, and 3D World. With each Mario game coming out, it seems like Bowser's been getting smarter, tougher, and just overall more awesome with great dialogue in the Mario & Luigi games, and fun and challenging boss battles in pretty much all of the more recent games.
