Samwise Gamgee. The true hero of LoTR. "I can't carry it for you Mr.Frodo. But I can carry you!" Gets me every time.
Easily, Frodo Baggins. The strongest, bravest, and most noble of hobbits.
Really? Not to knock on Frodo, I mean good on him for saving Middle Earth and all, but, he's a bit dull and whiney.
Sam Vimes or Granny Weatherwax.
Ford prefect
Mine is hard. Ben Sisko, Chido Anagonye, Janets, Margaery Tyrell
The fact that Chidi is one of the ones and you can't decide is quite poetic
This comment is dope and smart brained. I give it an 8.
Mine's also hard: The Thing from Fantastic Four
Elim Garak > Ben Sisko
Good call. Garak is awesome too.
Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Tough call, but I'm going to go with Wayne from Brandon Sanderson's Wax and Wayne trilogy.
Wax and Wayne is now four books. Wayne is probably my favorite of his characters. I love Mat and Nynaeve, too- Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time (for those who may not know).
Edit to add link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistborn:_The_Lost_Metal
Yeah you're right. I have read the most recent one, I just miscounted.
I quite like Mat too, but never could get behind Nynaeve as a character. All the Aes Sedai, even the young ones, seem to have this attitude of "I know everything so I'm closed off to new information" which is infuriating to me. Egwene and Elayne outgrow that somewhat by the end, but less so Nynaeve.
Interesting, because I thought Nynaeve had some of the most and best character growth in the series. But differences make the world go round, IDIC and all. :)
Stephen Maturin, from the Aubrey/Maturin series of novels by Patrick O'Brian.
So brilliant and so socially skilled at times and other times totally inept. Quite a good character.
My favorite part so far (I'm not done with the series) is when he played cricket with the Leopard's crew.
The horrible old Leopard :)
I'm glad to say you have plenty more brilliant moments ahead of you with both Stephen and Jack.
My favourite (but heartbreaking) Stephen moment: "I am of her caste"

DEATH from the Discworld Series. One of the most comforting, most human depictions of the "Grim Reaper" I ever read about.
Donna Noble- specifically The Doctor Donna. Not like it's obvious or anything though.
My favorite pairing in that show, ever.
Probably Jerome, from Three Men in a Boat. I wish I could be perfectly eloquent and poetic without losing my childish sense of humour.
I was obsessed with Long John Silver as a child, but I think I might enjoy the character of Captain Ahab more nowadays. I guess I have a thing for flawed maritime literary characters
Maybe megaman zero
Homer Simpson
Rand Al’Thor
Becky Connor. She was such a little bad ass when she was growing up and she does a hell of a job bouncing back from being a widow as an adult.
Weber's Honor Harrington, or the prototype for Honor Harrington, Forrester's Horatio Hornblower.
Now, you would assume it to be GLaDOS due to to my username on here and Reddit, but it's not. It's Trizza Tethis.
Kilgore Trout, unless you allow me my own characters, which you wouldn't recognize anyway.
Hard to say for sure, but one of my favorites is Amos Burton from The Expanse. I don't know if he was meant to be anyone's favorite given his personality and violent nature, but I love him anyway.
My girlfriend
The drummer in the Schfifty Five song
Hallo little girl... Would you like to know a secret?
I don't know if it counts, but Steve from Minecraft.
Rust Cohle from True Detective
Doremus Jessup recently.
