Inkdaub Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I am going to limit myself to one selection from any single book or book series. ASoIaF - Jaime Lannister WoT - Rand al'Thor The Sun Sword - Kallandras Dracula - Abraham Van Helsing Sword of Shadows - Raina Blackhail LotR - Gandalf Farseer - The Fool Liveship Traders - Malta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migey Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thrall (WoW - hey, game characters can still be 'fantasy characters' ) Thrall was pretty cool i guess, but as far as depth and characterization goes, Blizzard was never really that good. And lets face it. His sucessor, Garrosh Hellscream is 5x as awesome. As for literature, i like Cotillion alot. Karsa Orlong, in the same series is also awesome. (So is that guy in book 5 who decides to go fucking chuck norris and tries to squeeze a virtual demigod to death. Sorry if that was spoilerish, but i left it ambigious). Locke Lamora is pretty nice. Oh, and i wont mention the obvious ASoIaF choices. Apart from Strong Belwas. He is badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His sucessor, Garrosh Hellscream is 5x as awesome. Garrosh was a punkass in Northrend. I've heard that he's grown up a lot since then, so maybe there is hope. I was pretty sure that H.O.Saurfang was going to gut him like a pig for mouthing off and being a generally dishonorable little brat. *must not reinstall WoW... only 2months left before DA2, I can hold out...* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thrall (WoW - hey, game characters can still be 'fantasy characters' ) In that case, Dak'kon from Planescape: Torment. I don't read enough fantasy fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Anasurimbor Kellhus - PoN Drusas Achamian Cnaiur - Best story arc Druss the Legend - Gemmell - Probably the most memorable character ever for me. Legend actually made me cry at the fourth gate of Dros Delnoch when I was fifteen. Skilgannon the Damned Connavar Thufir Hawat - Herbert Anomander Rake - Erikson Ganoes Paran Karsa Orlong Duiker - Probably my favorite character of Malazan Book of the Fallen Quick Ben Ender - Card - Especially in Speaker for the Dead Gaunt - Abnett Biagio - Marco - Almost the best villain ever Sherlock Holmes - Doyle Locke Lamora - Lynch Glokta - Abercrombie Logan Ninefingers This is hard, there are so many characters who have shaped my life. These are just my most dominant authors and even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU-RAY Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hmm, lessee. Jonas and the old Autarch in BotNS Jon Snow, Stannis (I dislike Stannis a lot, actually, but he interests me, so I like reading about him) in ASOIAF Gandalf, Saruman, Eomer in LotR Feanor in the Silmarillion (probably a couple others, I need to reread this again) Glokta, Dogman, Bayaz (again, don't like him per se, but super interesting) in the First Law trilogy Ishamael, Logain, Verin, Ingmar in the Wheel of Time Locke Lamora, Father Chains, the Gentlemen Bastards series Behemoth, the Master and Margarita Achamian, bakker Earwa stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthmail Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Edmund Dantes: Count of Monte Cristo Duncan Idaho: Dune Banokles: David Gemmell's Troy series Anything but the Hobbits, and Tom Bombadil, in Lord of the Rings. Sand dan Glokta: The First Law Series As for GRRM, while his characters are well drawn, there are few enough that i really enjoy. The cast is too large, with too many amongst them that are annoying. I like the traditionals, like Tyrion and Jamie. I liked Ned and Robert. I find the secondary characters more interesting, to be honest. Catelyn Starks brothers, Bronn, former Kingsguard...the former Kings for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 If I had to pick just one...Karsa Orlong, from the Malazan Book of the Fallen... Otherwise, the list grows long... This^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poobah Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 From WoT, I'll just pick out a load of random names from the cast of trillions. Main cast - Ishamael, Lews Therin Telamon, Nynaeve, whoever kills Egwene (please brandon, if have someone balefire her I'll send you all my money). Secondary characters - Tuon, Darlin, Berelain (just for the lulz), Logain Tertiary - Tarna, Pevara, Silviana, Bayle Domon, Gaul. (The Lies of...) Locke Lamora Sand dan Glokta (The First Law) Ged (Earthsea) Sam (Lord of Light) Jaime Lannister Most of the cast of the Dresden Files. I started listing them but I realised I was listing pretty much the whole cast, there are really only a few characters that appear in multiple novels and which I don't really like. Most of the main cast of The Hyperion Cantos The Mule (Foundation And Empire, Second Foundation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanathan Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Waylander character by the forever missed David Gemmell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkynJay Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sand dan Gloka, by far. Followed by Croup and Vandameer(cant remember the exact names) from Neverwhere. Followed by Morag and Heather from the Good Fairies of New York. I also still have soft spot of Mellony from Pern(though it has been years since I read the books, she is the Character i remember from my first reading of fantasy).
