Your ideal hero/heroine

February 15, 2008, 1:05 PM

What is your ideal hero/heroine? Someone quiet, yet couragous? Tough, but gentle or cocky and powerful?

I like several different heroes/heroines. They range from Snake to Dante, Lara Croft to Yuna. I couldnt pick one.

I like a varity then I guess. Squall is the miserable loner who saves the day, doesnt really appeal to people. But I like him. However Zidane annoys me as he wants to help everyone! Im not saying thats bad, but I wouldnt be rushing off all the time to save someone.

As far as videogames go, I tend to prefer characters who don't say a whole lot, but are highly knowledgable skilled killers. Kratos (Tales of Symphonia), Auron, and Vincent are such characters.

I also like humorous characters who bring some laughs to a game.

I like my heroes who are a bit on the quiet side, knowledgeable about things in life and doesn't say, "Okay, let's go and save the earth!". I find those traits so much more interesting and realistic than your typical happy-go-lucky kind of guy.

Same with heroines. Quiet but knowledgeable. I want her to be actually independent too - someone who can take care of herself and not play the role of a damsel in distress.

I like the guys who are more laid back, the ones that tend to cheer up other characters but have eventually have that repaid back to them when they get depressed. Also, if their perverts or cowards that's a plus. Maybe because that's closer to my own personality, or maybe just because that's basically describing Zidane, but I find those characters fun to play.

Heroines - I like Buffy. She just kicks arse. I like that she doesn't need to be rescued because she is strong enough to take care of her self

As for hero, I love the stong silent type. I much prefer the triats of Squall Cloud & Auron over the likes Tidus & Vaan.

Heros: I like several different types, really. In my RPGs I like best the down to earth, upbeat ones like Zidane and Locke. I can actually relate to heros like that more than I can some spikey-haired emo. But in other games I do like the badass types too, such as Kratos or Dante (and for the record, Auron is NOT a badass).

Heroines: good god, I didn't know anyone still used this word. But anyway, I like a couple types too. I'd say Garnet and Yuna are some of the best out of the quiet lot. They weren't strong physically, but they were brave and tried to keep their chin up. And Garnet was probably the perfect type as far as princesses go; she wanted to explore the world and learn about it and didn't mind mingling with commoners, whereas Ashe was just a bitch to commoners and had no interest in sightseeing or anything.

I'm also getting very tired of these "badass" female types showing up, like Ashe and Lightning. For one, they look manly. Secondly, Celes and Agrias were much better badass females. They could be nice girls, but when it came down to business they'd kick your ass in a heartbeat. No nethicite, no man-jaws, no swiss-army gunblades.

As main characters, I prefer either a bland 'silent protagonist' who doesn't show much personality, or a character that you can create yourself.

I like the heros/heroines that are humorous, but yet understand what they must accomplish. They are serious when they need to be and fun and out going when their not on the job. They can also be very knowledgable as well
