Who’s Your Favorite Character?

[Lockdown]

Like the title says. Who is your favorite character(s)? It doesn’t matter from what fictional work and you don’t have to choose just one. You can also jot a character down at a later date depending on who’s on your mind right now.

I’ll start with Marceline the Vampire Queen. Ever since I first watched her I loved her as a character because of her tragic backstory, badass powers, and overall vibe she radiates compared to the main cast. Funny enough she’s later semi-confirmed to be (if not one of) the strongest characters in her verse (as long as you don’t consider the cosmic beings) which is also a plus in my eyes. Every time she’s in an episode it’s usually a banger and she has some of the coolest backstory which gets explored and reveals important pieces of the world she comes from before it became apocalyptic. Overall a badass vampire lady who I think deserves to be the first entry on this list of beloved fictional characters.

Honestly that is a toughie. There are a number of characters that really stand out to me, hmm. I feel like Kyle Katarn from Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight is possibly one of my favorite. He was first introduced in Dark Forces but it is the second game where his character really shines. He takes up a lightsaber after learning of his father's death and it was one of those games that used live action cut scenes and the actor that performed as him did such a great job. They did a marvelous job splicing those scenes with the actual game itself and you had to really get creative in the one on one lightsaber fights. Jedi Knight II on the other hand took all that away but continued his character development. Disney hasn't done anything with him since acquiring the rights to Star Wars and of course everyone knows Geroge Lucas didn't acknowledge a lot of the stuff outside of his own creation, even so, Kyle Katarn has a special place in my heart and memories and last game that featured him was Jedi Academy otherwise he hasn't been seen a lot since. So Disney you did bring Grand Admiral Thrawn into Star Wars Rebels and Ahsoka so how about tapping into that huge resource of characters and bringing him into the fold.

Thanks for sharing! Honestly, I doubt Disney would ever bring in the books/games as canon. They’re more inclined to do their own spin even though their own spin isn’t as good as what came before. I never knew about Kyle K. but he sounds like he has a great start to his character with him picking up the saber to avenge (or get revenge) for his father. I hope Kyle is a popular enough character to bring in another game so then you can see him again

You know the funny thing is before Finn with the whole giving up being a First Order Trooper...Kyle Katarn was actually in that same position. In the graphic novels it goes into more about why Kyle gave it up. Now of course Han was also a former trooper or so aka the Imperial Academy though that history was never part of the cinematic universe and the closest that came was the Solo film. Still suffice to say Disney might keep its distance from the Expanded lore but it does tend to piggyback from it now and then. Kyle was truly a great and just seeing the cutscenes alone from the second Dark Forces and he just steals the show with his smuggler swag and just the emotionality of the portrayal so hands off to the actor as I can't recall his name at the moment.

Don't laugh, but it is Optimus Prime. That person is what I want to be but am too much of a shitty being to be; wise and compassionate and yet strong and brave. Plus, he's a truck.
