Simple game I'll put up a couple of races/characteristics/cliches up, and everybody has to name his or her favorite character that resembles that trait. It can be from books, movies, comics, anything! Just make sure he or she (or it?) is renowned :] Rules of the game: 1. Only input one character for each section. 2. Please let us know where the character is from, what book, movie, etc. 3. You can't post a character that has already been posted by another user! If somebody says Harry Potter, you can't put Harry Potter! Hero/Protagonist Hero's Companion/Best Friend Villain/Antagonist Criminal Detective/Law Enforcement Mage Fantasy Race (Dwarf, Elf, etc.) I'll start! Hero/Protagonist: Michael Scofield (Prison Break) Hero's Companion/Best Friend: Ron Weasley (Harry Potter) Villain/Antagonist: The Joker (Batman) Criminal: Light Yagami (Death Note) Detective/Law Enforcement: Fache (The Da Vinci Code) Mage: Severus Snape (Harry Potter) Fantasy Race: Legolas (The Lord of the Rings)
Hero/Protagonist President Josiah "Jed" Bartlet (The West Wing) Hero's Companion/Best Friend Dr. James Wilson (House) Villain/Antagonist Adam Monroe (Heroes) Criminal "Pusher" (The X-Files) Detective/Law Enforcement Frank Black (Millennium) Mage No idea, I'll need to think about this Fantasy Race Angel (Angel)
Hero/Protagonist Valentine Michael Smith (Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert Heinlein) Hero's Companion/Best Friend Virgil (Dante's Inferno) Villain/Antagonist Medea (Medea, Euripides) - Though you could argue that she is structurally the hero, I would challenge anyone not to find her, for all practical purposes, a villain. Criminal Ragnar Danneskjold (Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand) Detective/Law Enforcement Paul Smecker (The Boondock Saints) Mage Oh wow-uhm, I'll just take the easy one and say Gandalf. bam. Fantasy Race (Dwarf, Elf, etc.) Probably the members of The Guild (Dune)
Hero/Protagonist: V (V for Vendetta) Hero's Companion/Best Friend: Evey Hammond (V for Vendetta) Villain/Antagonist: Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal etc) Criminal: The Joker (I figure I can have this, from The Dark Knight, seeing as it's in the criminal section, not the villain section like Jonalexher) Detective: Special Agent Clarice Starling (Silence of the Lambs/Hannibal) Mage: Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter) Fantasy Race: I have to say Galadriel from LOTR. Not the same character as Legolas, even if its the same race.
