I'll start

2. Travis Touchdown

3. Vivi

Easily one of the most compelling characters I have found within gaming. His existential conflicts within Final Fantasy IX where more compelling than the main story of the game for me. The horror of finding his being was created as puppets for war and then coming to terms with leading his own life away from that is very endearing. I also respect how earnest he is and despite all these heavy themes he's still a kid who wants to go watch a Windmill.

4. Kiryu Kazuma

5. Duke Nukem


Probably the most fun video character to play as in any video game. whether the game is A 2D platformer, or A 3rd Person shooter or 1st person shooter. Most of the Duke Nukem video games are vary difficult to complete without cheating, especially Duke Nukem Zero Hour and Time To kill. He's my favorite action hero.

I  posted the Duke Nukem 3D photo but just so you guys know there is more then just Duke Nukem 3D out there to play.

I absolutely love the Legend of Heroes series and think she has some of the best character growth in JRPGs I've played.

10. Eckart Brum - Shadow of Memories

Thought I would throw this one out there as I'm sure many would easily overlook this. It's hard not to mention him without giving partial spoilers to the game but I will try. He's really just an NPC you encounter but his involvement in the story was very touching. Dealing with grief and a lot of bitter feelings, he's sadly a tortured soul but and encounter with Eike (Lead character) allows him to let go of such feelings. During a conversation he reveals his guilt and its of of the most touching dialogues I've heard in any form of media - if anything I will leave you with the quotation:

That comb - it made me realize something. There are people in your life who care about you - such an obvious fact, really. No one is alone, and for every death, there's hell to pay for everyone around them Sometimes, it isn't just memories that are left behind, it's pain, and sorrow. I should know better than anyone else After everything I went through all those years ago
