_hannelore gave me an L, and I took 'fictional' in the wider sense...
Lucius Malfoy - fave villain *ever*. Aristocratic bad guy with sneer and brain and temper and bastardly little son who's just as much trouble :). And he even develops depth of character at the endrather than remaining a pimp!cane tooting sex god. Plus, he inspires me to write like whoa, so...
Leia Organa - for a 'rescue the princess' plotline that could've gone spectacularly bad, she's a wonderful, un-cliched character - brave, bright, loyal, sarcastic to no end, and definitely not one to stand around and scream while the boys do the job. Loved her ever since her first scene - ghosting around all earphone hairbuns and sacrificial victim outfit, only to pull out a pistol and starting to shoot stormtroopers. Yay!
Lew Alton - another of my favourite tormented, cursed and damaged heroes - anything but perfect, but desperately trying to do the right thing and stay true to himself and keep his family alive - and failing so badly.
Leetah - at times almost a bit too goody-two-shoes for my taste, but still quite a role model. Unlike her lifemate's, hers is not so much a coming of age story, but a growing in strength, with all the dangerous pitfalls that entails. But her compassion and committment to life are so very admirable.
Loxagon - I'm almost ashamed to include him because in retrospect the teenage obsession of mine in which he featured is *so* bad, but back then (and still somewhere at the back of my head), I thought him the coolest thing since sliced bread. Son of the devil, evil demon,utter incompetentsomewhat achievement-challenged, but undoubtably hot ;). karaontai will agree, even if nobody else does! Poor Loxi - it was nice as long as it lasted!

Date: 2008-09-19 08:40 pm (UTC)Il Corsaro Nero by Emilio Salgari, the archetype of the pirate for all young Italias for generations. I just happened to be reminded of this character today. See here: http://www.rohpress.com/gallery5.htm
Captain America. One of the first superheroes, co-created and repeatedly re-created by King Jack Kirby, and one of the first superheroes I remember reading. Still a favourite, until recently he bore a resolutely liberal view of America; he never uses a gun or kills people for any reason.
Captain Kathryn Janeaway. My favourite of all the Star Trek captains, her alternately aristocratic and maternal presence was the making of the series, which would never have coalesced without her.
Captain Britain. By Alan Moore and Alan Davis. Anyone who needs to know more knows nothing about comics.
Charlie Brown. As in: we are all.....
