This is my Personal list of favorite video game characters. To make this list I will have had to played the game, the most from one franchise is two characters, The lower on the list it is the simpler the reason is (if I just think the character is funny they will be low on the list. )
#20 - HK - 47 {Why?: Well...I think he is hilarious and the best companion in the Kotor games (Ordo came close to taking this spot but fell just short due to being a "Meat Bag")}
#19 - Galen Marek aka Starkiller {Why?: Space Kratos. Yea, the story fucked with the timeline but....he an vaporize At-St walkers and you get to beat the shit out of Darth Vader......twice......that alone gets him the 19th slot}
#18 - Sub-Zero {Why?: because he's Sub{rip you skull out and use it to shatter you body into a million pieces}Zero...thats why}
#17 - Delta Squad {Why?: Because they are the Elite. Each a part of a whole person, they were created as tools and were lucky enough to see all their work come to fruition. Is it cheating that 4 guys took the 17th spot.... its my list so }
#16 - Axton {Why?: As a Vault Hunter, he is a virtual super soldier that packs enough firepower to level an entire army..........plus his deployable auto guns fire nukes.......I love nukes.}
#15 - The Courier aka Courier 6 {Why?: Shot in the head and left for dead, the perfect setup for a tale of revenge that can unfold anyway you want.}
#14 - Kinzie Kensington {Why?: Smart, Funny, Sexy, and will beat the shit out of you if you mention the "Poodle Skirt" incident.....whats not to love!}
#13 - Revan {Why?: Jedi turned Sith Lord turned Jedi again. Revan's has become one of the Iconic Star Wars characters, having experianced both sides of the force he became far more powerful than any jedi in his day. Even as a sith lord he worked to unify the galaxy against an evil that would come to nearly conquer it roughly 300 years later (not sooner due to him actively delaying it for that long.)....and HK-47 was his personal assassin droid....so that helps. }
#12 - Lilith {Why?: This Siren is one of the most powerful Vault Hunters of the first game, and easily one of the funnest to play as.}
#11 - James Heller {Why?: Because I found him really fun to play as. (Though his Language could have been cleaned up a bit) and I was invested in the story, by the end I wanted for blood just as much as he did. }
#10 - The Dragonborn {Why?: Virtual God in human form........nuf said}
#9 - John Marston {Why?: Former outlaw who would go to hell itself and spit in the devils eyes to see his family again. Loving father, lethal gunman, and ready and willing to give his life for those he loves and generally do whats right.....and I cried like a baby when he died........ "Blessed are the Peacemakers."}
#8 - The Lone Wanderer from Vault 101 {Why?: Forced from the safety of the only home you've ever known is only the start of a quest that is full of twists and turns. An episodic tale to be played as you see fit, just remember that its a harsh and unforgiving world out there......Welcome to the Wasteland kid.}
#7 - The Warden {Why?: While the set up varies depending on the origin you pick the base story remains the same. Its a classic case of " end of the world " and the armies of darkness are massing to wipe us out. Pick you your blade, shoot your bow, or cast your spell, regardless of how you do it, leave none of the black blooded devils alive.}
#6 - The Champion of Cyrodiil {Why?: As mortal as the next man or woman, the CoC I've ranked higher than the Dragonborn for that very reason. Sure, The DB is a living God......but the CoC is a Man/Woman who takes on the armies of hell itself virtually singal handedly and wins.........still not impress? S/He becomes Sheogorath (the god of madness) your argument is now invalid due to Wabbajack blast to the face....now you are a sweatroll....and I shall eat you....now...*Crunch*}
#5 - Garrus Vakarian {Why?: Because he is space Batman....but with a sniper rifle. I love all of the Mass Effect cast, so choosing one or two to put on the list was hard. I chose Garrus because, next to the Main Character, he his easily the coolest character out of the whole bunch and one of two who are part of your team across all three games. Hi is always in my party as the designated sniper and deserves a spot in the Top 5.}
#4 - Zeus aka Alex Mercer {Why?: As a man/monster with no memory of his past, he embarks on an epic journey to uncover the truth and stop a virus from turning the world into mutant zombies, he is less than human and more at the same time, becoming a lethal anti hero......................and he has a really badass jacket.}
#3 - Commander Shepard (Yes, I prefer Femshep, deal with it) {Why?: A future super soldier that could give the great Master Chief pause, Shepard is at constant odds with the people in charge, forcing her to overcome any obstacle in her way with the help of an ever growing and loyal crew of badasses as she makes it a personal quest to prevent an army of doomsday machines from wiping out nearly all life in the galaxy. With the Fate of countless lives on her shoulders every choice she makes could spell salvation or disaster in the events to come. }
#2 - Subject Delta {Why?: There are few bonds stronger than those between father and child, and though Delta and Elenore do not share the same DNA they are bound together in more ways than one. Nothing will stop this behemoth of destruction from reuniting with the one he considers his baby girl and will slaughter anyone that stands between him and her.}
{Honorable mentions:
-The rest of the Mass Effect crew
-Hawk from Dragon Age 2
-Leliana
-Sten
-T3-M4
-Mission Vao
and
-The Jedi Exile}
Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for
#1 - The Boss {Why?: If you have to ask than you've never played the Saints row games}
