before i kick this off i want to say there is a real art to making a great character some of these games have creative directors whose minds are from mars and some of the other masterminds behind the others seem to have a background in comics and/or humor wherever a great character comes from, i always appreciate it.. i love it when a character is so dynamic or relatable or humorous or lively that they just seem to come off the screen or off the pages and live with you i LOVE characters.. a lot of you may not know this but i really do.. nothing can replace a good character in a good series and/or good environment people who make great characters usually have a deep-seated inspiration and they construct them and their surroundings as a labor of love characters whether they are in movies, books, games, comics, or otherwise mean so much and speak to us in many ways... so here is a hint of my appreciation.. here is my list of my favorite video game characters: sketch turner was dope because he was a comic book artist who got trapped in one of his own comics i like that sketch turner is a real person with a real job.. and not only that, but he has a 'cool' job.. a creative job.. and then he gets pulled into his own world and has to fight his way out of it.. its fictional but also kinda deep if you think about it his fashion sense was fly too.. and he had a real like.. human side.. he was never supposed to be a hero but at the same time he is able to protect and serve like a G part of the human side also was his compassion for his pet rat and also for the girl in the story.. he was just so ill.. one of the best most dynamic characters ever.. in a sense i'm glad he only had one game because i'd hate to see him ruined the way some other characters are sketch had enough depth to be made into a lot more than just video games ++++++ nights is probably the most mysterious video game character of all time when i first played nights i was so drawn to it for the mystery and wonder that emanated from the game nights is androgynous which kinda blew my mind but at the same time it worked for a few reasons one reason it worked was because nights never spoke in the game.. if nights had a male or female voice it would ruin the whole androgyny thing the other reason it worked was because nights was real yet not real.. nights existed in the night, in dreams and nightmares, however those dreams and nightmares represented actual reality.. you have to conquer your nightmares to live the dreams.. nights is basically like a physical spirit or an entity deep ish ++++++ i never played this game, but i always wanted it when i was a kid looking back.. rocket knight is just as- or even more cool than i thought he has a cuteness factor along with a bravery factor that i love i think if they ever make a sonic the hedgehog movie, sonic should be portrayed kinda in the same way rocket knight is portrayed.. cute yet brave.. kinda like a more smart/human version of pikachu knight = bravery rocket = modern/cool/action possum character = cute/fun ^enough said look the game up on sega genesis and u'll see how dope it looks btw rocket knight's name is sparkster ++++++ sakura man.. wow.. almost nothing compares to when i first saw sakura she was in street fighter alpha 2.. her whole image, style, and story was just mindblowing you have a tournament of adult fighters but sakura was a 15 year old girl in high school who entered the contest!!! she kinda had two sides.. one very goofy 15 year old side and an alternate "i'm a dedicated fighter thirsty for more knowledge" side this dynamic was just amazing to me she was also gorgeous in street fighter alpha in her school girl outfit and short hair all her opening and closing animations spoke volumes like when she'd enter a fight she'd run into the match like she was late for the fight due to juggling school and fighting and a social life at the end of a match sometimes she'd scream and kick her leg but her shoe would fly off and hit her in the head LOL !!!!! ^perfect !! ++++++ 3 dirty dwarves WOW .. this game had 3 main characters and they were all dope!!! one used a shotgun, one used bowling balls, and the other used a baseball bat these guys were just amazing.. the whole humorous and violent cartoon/comic book style of this game was just.. incredible name off any sort of semi violent game or cartoon and these guys trump them like say if you compared them to ninja turtles.. they make tmnt look like GARBAGE.. these guys lived within a d&d type game.. and they were transferred from the game into the real world and they brought their humor and craziness with them! in the opening credits of this game they literally ripped guys guts out of their throats and sliced guys with swords until they were in so many pieces that it was like confetti and to think this was THREE dope characters!!! and the dynamics between them made everything that much better! ++++++ koops.. man this character is HILARIOUS!!!! he is a koopa but in paper mario the thousand year door, he wasn't an enemy, he was a friend he was afraid of everything! everything he said was so absurd and hilarious.. you just have to play paper mario the thousand year door to really understand how amazing he is as a character that game in general was just so funny, cute, and quirky and koops was like the epitome of those things ++++++ clockwork knight gets very little props in the industry, but man.. he was dope!!! what i liked about clockwork knight is he was a latin hero who was valiant and chivalrous.. he was like a video game version of don quixote the fact that he was latin and the game had latin music by itself gave it a cool culture factor.. also you have to remember.. clockwork knight was the first to use a keyblade!!! he would put a key in something and crank it up until it exploded.. he was just dope.. silent but expressive there were so many dynamics to him as a character in his environment he was latin.. he was a knight.. he had a key for a sword.. he was a toy.. he rode on a 'toy' horse (i put that in parentheses because all the toys were alive in the game) clockwork knight was just very inspired.. he was such a creative character you couldn't help but appreciate him ok those are all my top favorite video game characters check these games out if you haven't already so you can see what i'm talking about these characters are just so cool and fun that they make you wish you could meet them and hang out with them in their world!!!
