That was one of the reasons I avoided Tanis, Laurana, etc from Dragonlance. I'm not up-to-date with my novels, but the folks on my list above were "alive" (or their fate was ambiguous) the last time I read about them.I like Eric the Cavalier as a choice, but... as an antihero? Seems a bit harsh to put him in with folks like Raistlin and Artemis Entreri. Eric is a whiner and a coward, but he's not malicious. He's never killed an innocent (in fact, probably never killed anyone at all). I know that the strict definition of antihero is "a protagonist lacking heroic characteristics like morality, courage, etc", but still...As for the Egg of Coot - phew. That might be too deep a cut. I've played and DM'ed the DA1-4 Blackmoor series and have a passing familiarity with the setting history. But even I struggle with identifying anything notable about the Egg. Other than the name, of course. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-)" title="Smile    :-)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":-)" />Not very familiar with Dark Sun or Eberron, but agree they should be represented. Did Spelljammer and Birthright even have any notable characters? I can't think of any.Arguably, there should be more characters from other media options. I thought very seriously about including Jim Darkmagic. Given how many people come to D&D through podcast views, there should probably be one or more notable podcast characters on the list. Maybe even some webcomic characters: how about Durkon from Order of the Stick? D&D, and D&D-inspired work, has gone far beyond the tabletop these days.</blockquote>
