Wormwood
Adventurer
Ignatius J. Reilly, from A Confederacy of Dunces.
Seriously.
edit: I don't know what kind of game would have him, and I seriousl doubt that I could do him justice, but he's my favorite character in all of fiction. Period.
I picture a Human Expert, heavy on the Knowledge & Bluff.

Well, I went with Odysseus. From the Illiad I would rather play someone like Ajax, though Odysseus ain't bad either.
I just finished watching Farscape, and I think Rigel would be a character I would love. The pretty much all of the Farscape players would be very playable.
Nyarlathotep
Explorer
Roland, from The Gunslinger books by Stephen King.

After reading this thread, all I can say is... YER ALL A PACK OF MUNCHKINS!
I sat down and asked myself what would make a character from a novel fun to play?
I decided I didn't want character that was too overpowered, or too overwritten. When I play a character, i want to play MY character, not somebody else's.
My top three picks are:
1) Felix, from the Felix and Gotrek novels.
2) Tazendra, from the Phoenix Guards.
3) The Man With No Name, as played by Clint Eastwood.
Felix is underwritten. Tazendra is a secondary character, though with plenty of personality. The Man With No Name, well, he's just badass. I can basically invent details about all three characters, fiddle with them, and personalize them. They're also dripping with plot hooks and ideas.
