Who is your favorite fictional character...and why?

[McClance]

From TV: Moya on FarScape. She's beautiful. And I love the concept of a living, sentient ship.

From movies: Draco from Dragonheart. Can't beat a Dragon.

From books: Menolly in Dragonriders of Pern. She's a lot like me, except she's attracted to the art of music while I'm attracted to the art of writing.

Wait... Seven pages of thread and no one has mentioned... The Doctor???

John Crichton. Real. Powerful. Poignant. Intelligent. Badass. Destined to live an epic nightmare while trying to find himself and simply searching for a way home. Always a good setting and damn, does Ben Browder pull it off or what.

Not to mention he's unbelievably sexy while doing it.

Daniel Jackson: a wonderfully versatile character with true character development. He goes from a rather geeky scientist to a pretty competent guy with a gun, while still retaining his essential human qualities. Plus he's also hot.

Babylon 5: G'Kar and Londo. Two tragic heroes in their own right, both trying to make amends for past mistakes.

Battlestar Galactica (2003): Starbuck. A wonderfully flawed character with a great destiny. If only women were given more roles like this on tv!

Sam Carter: Loved her, a great example of a female hero who doesn't have to either hide her femininity or emphasize it particularly to get respect from her male colleagues. They respect her competence.

DS9: Garak. A very complex character you never really get to the bottom of, played by one of the best actors ever to grace the Trek franchise.
