Who are your favorite characters from fantasy & sci-fi stories?

Felonious, you stole my thunder. Angus Thermopyle is one of the coolest dudes to ever pirate the galaxy.

I forget the characters names, but 2 series I liked most of the characters in, I haven't read them in years, are the Black Company series, and Louise Coopers Time master trilogy

From the newer book Wicked....I love the "Wicked" Witch. I thought it was going to be a "chick Book" but it actually was pretty cool....I read it in 2 days....like chewing gum for the brain...
 

So many good characters,
Garet Jax and Jimmy the Hand have to be my favs. I think the stuff you read in your teens sticks with you the longest.


Sci-fi is an easy choice Michael Jackson.
 

Sci-Fi
Captain James T. Kirk (greatest character of all time IMNSHO :cool: )
Spock
Ender Wiggen

Fantasy
Rand al'Thor
al'Lan Mandragoran
Garet Jax
Raistlin Majere
Tanis Half-Elven

I'm sure that there are a couple more, but these jump out of the top of my head.

Starman
 

Fantasy: Bannor from the Thomas Covenant series (The Bloodguard are the Monks in my campaign)

SciFi: Felix in John Starkley's Armor, a great reluctant hero.
 

-Artus Cimber, from the ring of winter, a FR book. It was an Indiana Jones type of story to it.
-Jaraxle, a mercenary from RA Salvatores books, as I am sure most people know.
-BIGWIG from WATERSHIP DOWN. There is one scene that sticks out in my memory five years after reading it. The scene where the warren is under attack and BIGWIG stands his ground even though he is wounded. He has faith in Hazel and it pays off and saves the day.

So many to think on one... I´ll whip out Sancho Panza, if that counts for fantasy, and Geralt of Rivia (he´s not that great, but I´ve finished the first three books, still not translated to English, and I have him still fresh in my mind) and I´ll say Rorschach, from Watchmen, and Vader for sci-fi
 

Fantasy - Perrin Aybara from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time; Pug/Milamber from Raymond Feist's Riftwar Saga; Binabik from Tad William's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn; and Vlad Taltos from Steven Brust's books (don't know if there's a series' name)
 

From fantasy, I cannot see anyone topping Haru Glory.

Now that thats out of the way.

TV:
Lex Luthor(Smallville)
Malcom Reynolds (Firefly)
Wesley Windham Price(Angel)

Books:
Nathaniel & Jason (striper were-animals from the Anita Blake Series)
Doyle (Court Assassin and head Bodyguard, of the Merry Gentry series)
Corran Horn (Jedi Knight & Pilot)
