l2 0 5 5 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 When the likes of a Richard Harrow, Lucius Vorenus, Titus Pullo, Omar Little, Lester Freamon, Thomas Barrow, Bodie, Doug Stamper, Chris Moltisanti, Mike Ehrmantraut, and others exist it's hard for me to put more than one or two ASoIaF characters onto my list.

Marcus Agrippa Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 All. In order: Lady Stoneheart Catelyn (since so many people think they're different...) Arya Daenerys Sansa Bran Jon Rhaegar Lyanna Meera Dedication at its finest Ser/Madam/Person. I am taking a genders course currently so where your name indicates you are indeed a male... I have been tossed under a bus by my professor twice this semester. I don't need that again. Ah, this all depends on how you look at it... If you talk solely about fantasy genre, yeah... If you talk about books in general, hardly. If you talk about fantasy on all mediums, perhaps. If you talk about all genres on all mediums, then I would have to say no. But, one character that truly deserves special place on all my lists regardless of position is Sansa. She is such beautifully written character. AH I yes meant fantasy on all mediums but all fantasy like the wolf of wall street to Narinia. I know it was based on a true story (wolf of wall street) but some of those elements had to to exaggerated. I will have to say Sansa is a good character but she is a little weak at the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the series that I grew up with are just trash... Not really trash, but less engaging. Special shout out to Kaladin Stormblessed and Shalla from stormlight archive. I forgot I enjoyed the hell out of that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib_Juju Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Theon or Jaime could get a spot in my top 10, yes. They're both very complete, multifaceted characters with interesting stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prince Not Promised Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Just from books I'd probably have about 3. Counting all media, maybe 1 or 2 at the absolute most. I'd have to actually try to make the list to be sure and frankly I just don't have the time to list out my 10 favorite characters from every movie, game, book, or TV show I've ever experienced.

Pib_Juju Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Don't think so, If we were just talking fiction books than probably yeah but not all media I don't understand. What form of media has more fully realized characters than novels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevelyan Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Catelyn is easily one of my favorite fictional characters, maybe even the favorite. I guess Sansa might take a spot on my top 10 list as well. The rest would probably be composed of characters from Final Fantasy 6, 7, 8 and 9. Yeah, I love me some Final Fantasy.

TrueOrFalse Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Theon is definitely in my top 10, he's one of my favorite characters of all time without a doubt. Jaime would be in my top 20, at like number 13 maybe! They are the only two though. I like a lot of the characters in ASOIAF but Theon and Jaime are the only two that I'm attached to.

kimim Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's hard to tell, as the novels aren't finished. Also, I tend not to have favorite characters but favorite authors. However, Ned's still my favorite, honor and all. Dunno if he'd be in the top ten of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faydra Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If we're talking solely about books then some characters (Cersei of a surety) would make it. However, if I were to include all forms of entertainment, I'd be lost. Making that list would exhaust me, to be honest... but now I can't get the thought out of my head and I might give it a try in the next days.

Hodor's Dragon Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I just skimmed this thread. Have I gone insane or is Tyrion not even mentioned? :eek: I think Tyrion is one of the greatest and most complex characters in all of literature, and I've said this to many of my literarily snobbish friends. You get to look at close to the whole gamut of human behavior, physically, mentally and emotionally, and he easily gets the most kick-ass dialogue of any main character. So yes,, Tyrion is one of the greatest characters I've ever encountered in any medium. (As a side note, to me the difference between "greatest character in any book" and "greatest character in any medium" is somewhere between slim and non-existent. Books are a great deal more nuanced than other story-telling media.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrions@ Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Jon is my number one out of all fiction. There are hundreds of other characters I love but I've never related to any of them on a personal level like I have with Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregor Clegane's head Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Making a TOP 10 fictional character list is insanely hard. I'll have to say Sansa and Theon would be there for sure. Oh and Tyrion is amazing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flandrensis Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Currently, yes, Arya and Jon would make my top ten. But ask me 20 years from now, and I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitering Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Arya, probably Jon and as a secondary character I really like the Hound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Muradin the Small Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 While all of the main characters in ASOIAF are very complex and iwell written, for some reason i just can't place them in my top characters of all media. But if I limit it to books only, I think I can place Jon in the top 10 with some difficulty. Tyrion and Ned will most probably make it to the top 20.

Lord_Rahl Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Tyrion I would include because of the way e is written. Also,Edd Tollet. Hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
