I won't close this thread if actual discussion comes from it, but as it stands right now this thread is the same as the "who is your favorite pro sports player thread" which I already closed. If people discuss the books from which the characters come, then okay.

And before anyone asks, I can't imagine what sort of really worthwhile discussion would come from talking about sports players. So, nyah.

Thanks, but I should have been smarter and put this on the comics and books thread. Hopefully someone brave would come up and confess their book character choices.

red fighter to the rescue!

my favorites are:
1. martin (redwall series)

i like the character Martin because he is the biggest and most-known hero of the whole redwall community! and to go even further, he's a freaking mouse! who DOESNT think that a mouse being able to be a strong warrior ISNT cool?! uhhh yah...

also, i have read a few dragonlance books, but i have never heard of those characters. which book are they from??

hopefully ill be able to come up with more later, because i just KNOW that there are more cool book characters. see? i atleast think i came to the rescue! right?

sidenote: ok, shiney i catch your drift.

EDIT: oh yah, what is the vlad taltos book series?? what is it about?? ill try and read it sometime if it sounds good..

CTDChris · 06-23-2005, 11:37 AM

The vlad Taltos book seires is about a Assassain named vlad taltos and his jhereg familiar (Loiosh) If you want an explaination over what a jeherg is you have to read the books cause i cant explain. The main books are Athyra, Taltos, Jhereg, Yendi, Dragon, Issola, Orca, and pheonix. http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~phoenix/brust/ for a fansite. The other dragonlance characters are from the books Night of blood, Tides of Blood, and Empire of Blood. They are part of the Minitaur wars trilogy writen by Richard A. Knaak. And yeah Redwall rocks, if I have to pick a character from that It would be either Sunflash or Mathiaas.

My favorite character by far is Emile Khadaji from the Matador series, written by Steve Perry.

essentialy he starts a galaxy wide rebellion by himself, using only little dart guns that paralyze people for six months. he's so effective in terrifying the Confederation, that the military force thinks that Emile is an entire army of highly trained soldiers. eventualy he becomes known as "The Man Who Never Missed", taking out over two thousand soldiers without a missed shot. very bad assed.

Marvin ala Hitchikers is just plain awesome. A robot with a supercomputer brain, but because he's supposed to be like humans he 's a manic depressive. Who wouldn't like that?

Best of all? Hm. Annonod (I think that's his name) from the Sword of Shanarra was a total badass, I know that for sure...I also got a total kick out of Danica from Salvatore's Cleric Quintet.

Allanon - Last of the Druids of Paranor. (I'm re-reading the prequel at the moment.) The Shannara series is one of my favorites, if not the favorite. Multi-generational epic stories really catch my eye, and this one doesn't fail to impress.

Back on topic - Favorite charater? Probably Wil Ohmsford from the 2nd novel, Elfstones of Shannara. I find he has a many similar traits to John from Nuklear Age, as he struggles with personal issues and demons, as well as real, in-your-face, going-to-kill-you Demons.

Following him would be Tay Trefenwyd, an Elven Elementalist, and one of the Druids in the prequel, First King of Shannara. It's hard to describe why I like him, mostly because he's really a great guy, and his character (both before and after the book was written) is essentially the character I've played in just about every RPG I've ever done.

Sword of Shanarra, i've heard alot about that one. in fact, i think one of my friends just picked that up recently on a reccomendation. maybe when he's done with it ill give it a read.
