[Ethan Dirtch]

I'm assuming we're just talking about chars who were alive from the start of the series, and not limiting it to just PoV chars? If that's the case...

(in no particular order)

-Jon

-Dany

-Tyrion

-Barristan

-Jaqen

-Arya

-Robb

-Asha

-Davos

-Sandor

4. Tyrion

5. Barristan

6. Jamie

7. The Hound

8. Stannis

9. Mance

10. Bran/Arya-tied

[Winterfelon]

Of the still living (maybe)!

1) Jon - Longlaw badass!

2) Davos - short fingered badass!

3) Arya - short badass!

4) Tyrion - even shorter badass!

5) Barristan - bearded badass!

6) Jamie - handless badass!

7) Brienne - buck-toothed badass!

8) Stannis - teeth grinding badass!

2. Bran

3. Robb

4. Jon

5. Ned

6. Davos

7. Arya

8. Jaime

10. Doran Martell

Honorable Mentions:

- Queen of Thorns

- Littlefinger (for being an evil bastard)

- Arianne Martell (for finally sticking up for her father)

- Lord Manderly

- Mance Rayder

And finally because I hated on them for so long before this book, I have to admit that I really do now like Theon and Melisandre. So a very special honorable mention for those two.

1. Jon

2. Jaime

3. Barristan

4. Arya

5. Asha

6. Tyrion

Dany was up there in the beginning but has slowly fallen from grace with me, for the usual reasons, no one gives a shit about Meereen.

[you wouldn't know me]

Not really in order but roughly

Jon (please don't make him really dead)

Arya (can't wait until she comes back to Westeros)

Oberyn (Biggest badass in Dorne :crying: )

Barristan Selmy (best character in ADWD)

Robb (King in the North!)

Tyrion (love the way he can talk himself out of nearly every situation)

Gendry (Seems like a swell guy)

Dolorous Edd (I want him to be the sole survivor of the Other invasion :laugh: )

Sansa (She managed to stay alive when many would have been killed)

Mance Rayder (the King beyond the Wall needs to kick Bolton at ss)

Can't believe I had to leave Strong Belwas and Wyman Manderly out :( but the dudes are that huge they can have a list of their own

[The Bronze Wyvern]

Stannis Baratheon (best oneliners of anybody in the series)

Eddard Stark (just an incredibly likeable and honourable man)

Robert Baratheon (for the backstory)

Jon Umber, The Greatjon (big, brash and a total badass)

Oberyn Martell, The Red Viper (dangerous, witty and carnal)

Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight (similar reasons to Ned)

Jorah Mormont (protects Dany fearlessly for the first three books)

Sansa Stark (the best personal devlopment arc of the entire series)

Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer (wanted him dead after book 1, then I changed my mind, like everyone else)

Olenna Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns (great one liners again)

[The Bronze Wyvern]
