@DeepThought - Your Chasm City favourite is quite a bit spoilerific...

Sh*t! I guess sorry wont cut it now ; I got carried away...Actually I was meaning to write those two characters separately; its a combination of my excessive usage of forward-slash the plus most shocking part of the storyline that got the better of me there.Anyway this is my first mishap of this sort, it want happen again.

Cheers, DeepThought

Not a problem for me, I've read it before, but others might... you might want to get a favour from a mod

Bit of a bad list - doesn't even begin to cover enough characters;.

Mines Raistlin.

Mines Raistlin.

That's one of my favourite's too. One of the most complex and memorable characters to come out of the Dragonlance universe IMHO.

You know i just saw the poll and must say if you are gonna make a poll on big genre like fantasy add characters outside typical High Fantasy and maybe have half of them being from Fiest's Riftwar

 

[manns41078]

Weak list. I'd have to say my favorite is Tasslehoff Burrfoot. The only non-wussy halfling I've ever experienced. Though Raistlin is very deep.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Tasslehoff is my favourite Dragonlance char.

You know, I have a feeling that any list anyone made would be insufficient.

 

[speedingslug]

Wolverine or Hawk The Slayer.

Given the list, Vimesy is the one who jumps out at me

I think it's a pretty good list given the limitations of polls!

Yep - exactly what I thought. Vimes is a great character - the genre is irrelevant.

I voted Bartimaeus. Though my real answer would probably be 'other' I just can't think of a specific 'other' to put here so I'll stick with Bartimaeus.

Ooh, I like the Disreputable Dog from the Abhorsen Trilogy. Again, not my all time favourite though. Merry and Pippin from LotR. Bronn from ASoIaF. Pan and Balthamos from His Dark Materials. That's all I can think of at the mo. Etta from The Liveship Traders...

 

[Nyomimi]

Xuánzàng -- from the Chinese novel "Journey to the West."

Which also spurned one of my all time favorite anime characters: Genjo Sanzo from Saiyuki -- an anime based off the book.

 

[JoanDrake]

Kirth Gersen of Jack Vance's Demon Princes series.

Gersen in unique in his humanity, his vulnerability and his frustration at being nothing more than the instrument of his grandfather's vengeance. He is unique among questing heroes in the admiration, if not affection, he derives for his villains even as he goes about killing them

 

[Alurny]

Elric is just sooo cool!

 

[Wybren]

Wow this is a toughie. I cant choose just one there is tooo many good ones..hmmm
Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Greebo, Raistlin, Akkarin, Lestat, Elpaba, Pippin and Merry, Gandalf, The Doctor... just to name a few

 

[boomvoom]

i like Taarna from heavy metal,

 

[fingy773]

You had to put him in there, didn't you ? This is probably one for general discussion, but the mods can sort that out.

whos him?

 

[Theo Hart]

So many to choose from... if only House was a fantasy character... (It's a show about a cranky M.D., but he's an elf! Isn't that hilarious? *crickets*)

I'd have to say Iorek Byrnison from His Dark Materials. I loved Golden Compass, but not the other books in the trilogy--Pullman got too prechy.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Disagree! The Amber Spyglass was the best, up there in my favourites.

Welcome to the Chron, Theo.
