As the title implies, what are your favorite characters in Gaming? Reasons for why you like them so much would be preferred.

As for my favorites:

#1 - TERRY BOGARD
Untitled

Not much to say about this bad boy. He's got a great design that really reflects a cool, outgoing personality, solidified by his always-awesome win quotes. And you gotta love how he throws that hat! Everything about him is just so cool, from his clothes, to his fighting style, even even right down to his friendly smile. I can't express enough how much I admire him.

Runner Ups:

Rawr!

3. Daxter

This guy is hilarious! He has so much personality and says just the right quips. He's seriously one of the funniest dudes ever!

4. Angel
http://thefightingconnection.com/sites/default/files/pictures...
She's one kooky gal! The things she says and does and the way she fights make her such a standout character.

5. Max
http://screenshots.en.softonic.com/en/scrn/66000/66644/sam-an...
One of the craziest and most random characters I've ever seen. He's always saying such weird things, you gotta wonder why he isn't in an asylum.

6. Cammy
http://vegivo.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/street_fighter_camm...
She's serious, dedicated, and has an awesome back story. She's also a great fighter. An who can resist her win-pose?

7. Issun
http://i2.listal.com/image/1465021/500full.jpg
Another funny guy, he's always saying what's on his mind, many of which are on my mind as well.

8. Elena
http://images.wikia.com/streetfighter/images/7/71/Elena_big.jpg
Street Fighter's Angel in terms of kookiness, but her fighting style is a little more down to earth. Still, it's hilarious to see her try to make friends with the fighters she just beat up.

9. Ratchet & Clank
http://www.ps3informer.com/playstation-3/images/ratchetclankq...
The greatest dynamic duo the world has ever seen! These cool cats are always pulling through any danger with style! The two work too well together, with Ratchet being the wise guy, and Clank being the serious dude. They're always trading jokes to hilarious effect. Really, I can't express enough how much I love em.

10. Juri

She's one Wild and crazy dame. 'Nuff said.

Honorable Mention:

Yuri (Tale of Vesperia)
Amaterasu (Okami)
Auron (Final Fantasy X)
Rikku (Final Fantasy X)
Ash (King of Fighters 2003-XIII)

3. Waluigi (Mario series)
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAALUIGI!!!

It is always watching me, which means that I'm always protected...I think.

In almost no specific order.

1.Professor Layton
He pulls off the top hat without being a complete snob. No one else can do that. Forever.
2.Godot (Ace Attorney 3)
17 Cups. And not a drop more.
3. June (999)
If I say anything at all about my reasoning, it will be a spoiler. Those who played it know what I'm talking about.
4.Harry (Custom Robo)
You might think he's just the hopeless loser who hits on anything without a Y chromosome, but in reality he's the hopeless loser who hits on anything without a Y chromosome WHO HAS A ROBOT! I mean, pretty much everyone has a robot in that game but... well, If you ever play Custom Robo, you know why Harry is amazing. Also he talks a lot.
5.Snorelax
If you want to get past him, you're gonna have to get off YOUR butt and find a flute to move him, because lord knows he ain't gonna move by himself! A true role model.
6.My Mii
Because I'm a complete narcissist.
7.Cows (Zelda Oot, MM)
Holy crap these cows are talking to me.
8. Tallnut (Plants-VS-Zombies)
Look how determined that guy is! It almost makes me cry. sniffle
9. The Entire Game of Conker's Bad Fur Day
What? Not a character? That game has plenty of character!
10. The Talking Wii Balance Board (Wii Fit/Plus)
Now here's a guy you can always depend on. I mean you can even stand on him and he won't even mind! Sure, he always calls everyone he meets overweight, but can you blame him? If he complimented you you'd have no reason to come back to him! This nice guy just needs a friend, and by golly it's your job to be there for him!

Punny

1.) Mario (Super Mario series)
He's a classic character and a super icon. He's heroic, a great jumper, and has a sweet mustache. Plus, he seems very clean for a plumber. You also have to admire his patience for Princess Peach.

2.) Link (The Legend of Zelda)
A man of few words, though his actions speak volumes. What makes him so cool is that each version of him is different, yet he was always able to save Hyrule (or wherever he was). Plus, he manages to wear a floppy green hat and still look cool.

3.) Samus (Metroid)
Metroid's leading lady has saved the galaxy many times, making her an excellent hero, even after facing many traumatic events. She also can curl up into a ball without breaking a bone. Now THAT is amazing. She's attractive, too.

4.) Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog)
He's a speedy dude with an attitude. Other than a rough past, what's not to love? I admire the fact that he pulled through his times of mediocrity and emerged excellent once again. Plus, it's cool seeing both his classic and modern counterparts running together in the same game.

5.) Kirby (Kirby series)
He's cute and cuddly, yet scary at the same time. He can eat you up and steal your powers! That's why I love the little windbag. Plus, It's cool seeing him take on different gaming styles (such as becoming a pinball, transforming into yarn, and splitting up into 10 Kirbys).

6.) Professor Layton (Professor Layton series)
I've met many rude and dim-witted characters in video games, so seeing Hershel Layton was like a breath of fresh air. He's polite and intelligent, as well as an excellent puzzle-solver. He got even cooler during The Unwound Future.

7.) Bowser (Mario series)
Not the most diabolical villain, I like Bowser because he's so funny. I looked forward to his stages in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door because I would always end up on the floor laughing out loud. Bowser's Inside Story was great too, because I had always dreamed of a Bowser game. I'm hoping for another one.

8.) Neku (The World Ends with You)
Whether you like this game or not, you have to admit that the game had some great characters. Neku Sakuraba was one of them. At first a bit of an anti-social jerk, he warmed up as the game progressed, making for some of the most heart-warming moments I have ever experienced in a video game. He has a nice sense of style, too (digging the headphones, dude!).

9.) Viewtiful Joe (Viewtiful Joe series)
Here's a guy I would like to be. He can fight crimes within movies, can speed up and slow down time, and has a sexy girlfriend who's father is (SPOILER ALERT!) a movie star. Henshin-A-Go-Go, baby!

10.) Fawful (Mario & Luigi series)
Fawful is the unintentional star of Superstar Saga and Bowser's Inside Story. He's a crazed evil genius who speaks in broken English, making for some of the most quotble quotes in the history of video games ("I HAVE FURY!"). I also admire how he turned from a lackey into a main antagonist (who has a lackey of his own). Way to go, Fawful!

Honorable Mentions

Luigi (Super Mario series)

Donkey Kong (Donkey Kong series)

Pit (Kid Icarus)

Chun-Li (Street Fighter)

Quote (Cave Story)

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (Epic Mickey)

Princess Zelda (The Legend of Zelda)

Raiden from Metal Gear Solid has yet to be surpassed for me. He's the only character in video game history with the balls to throw us--the player--away.

Besides him, some others are:

The entire cast of Nier.
Monkey, Trip, and Pigsy from Enslaved
The entire cast of Mother 3
U1 from Gitaroo Man
And too many other good ones to list. =3

My top list...

1.- Banjo & kazooie (Banjo-tooie)
This lovable duo are really funny with each other, each one being the oposite of the other !

2.- Black mage (Final fantasy)
Because he looks so mysterious and cool.

3.- Kirby (from... well, Kirby)
Since he can transform into any character !

4.- Link (Loz: majora's mask)
I like this link more because he has a lot of guts for being a kid...

5.- Conker (Conker's bad fur day)
He looks like a retired cartoon character who's life is really bad, making him a really interesting character.

Mentally and spiritually he isn't a kid, he's a battle hardened warrior who already saved the world once.
