It can be for any TV show, Movies, books, comics, or whatever. The character just has to be fictional, and you must give some reason as to why you like that character.
My Favorite fictional character is Corin Horn (aka Halcyon), A Jedi Knight. He was first introduced in the Rogue Squadron series, although at the time he knew nothing of his Jedi heritage. He was just a really hot shot pilot at the time, and former Cop/Investigator. He later learned of his Jedi heritage while escaping a secret Imperial prison on Coruscant. A few years later he learned to develop his abilities after his wife was kidnapped and he set out to save her. (You can read the story in "I, Jedi"...my favorite SW novel) Unlike most Jedi, his Telekinetic powers are very weak, so he can't use them as a crutch as many Jedi do. He is, however very gifted with projecting thoughts and images. He also has a rare Jedi ability to be able to absorb energy (heat/blasters/explosions/etc.) and convert it, to enhance his limited telekinetic abilities. Since he can't do all the cool 'gravity-defying' flips and TK tricks that the other Jedi can, he is forced to use his wit. That makes him the most dangerous Jedi to go against. He has many little tricks up his sleeve, as well as a sharp mind that he can use to gain the advantage even against much stronger foes. Early on, even Luke Skywalker found it difficult to fight with Corin (he had a rough time in a sparring session), because he only knew how to fight with a Lightsaber. Corin used punches, kicks and pretty much any little dirty manuever in the book. Luke was pretty roughed up, by the end of that sparring match... Corin was a cop used to dealing with the 'dirty' elements, so he had no problem using their techniques in a fight if they would work to his advantage. One example is, that his lightsaber can actually extend its length suddenly, giving Corrin a lot more range to attack with. Many foes have met their end by that little suprise...
Also, in philosophical terms, Corin reminds me of Odysseus in greek Myths. Odysseus wasn't the strongest greek warrior, but he was the smartest and most cunning. It was he who came up with the Trojan horse that ended the War. He alone survived the 10 year journey home. Odysseus is my favorite character in greek mythology.
