Who is your favorite fictional character?

The Illusive Man

More like a life goal... Cause I have lots of favourites.

this is a really hard question!!! xD
for what concerns video games, which is even more appropriate given what this awesome website's about, I'd go probably for Rydia, Rikku, Marle, Eirika, oh well.. Serah, Sierra (シエラ, I prefer to call her like that instead of Cierra), Red (quite a new character this one), Tifa, Chun-Li (always loved her), Jade (MK), oh well I could go on forever having started playing in the first half of the '90s.. anyways the first one that talking about video-games came up to my mind was Rydia followed by Rikku

Cell from DBZ

Death of the Endless

Revolver

Ocelot

Well this is hard to consider but im happy with my choices even if it took me a while to figure out the movies and games

Girls:
Anime: Mikasa (attack on titan)
Book/VN: Kazami Kazuki (Grisaia series on steam)
Game: Rikku (final fantasy)
Movie: Violet (incredibles)

Boys:
Anime: L (deathnote)
Book/VN: Kazami Yuuji (Grisaia series on steam)
Game: Carmines (Gears of Wars)
Movie: Jim Hawkins (treasure planet)

For me it's either Umihara Kawase from the series of the same name, but that might be because I'm biased towards the games.

Or, there's Serious Sam from again the series of the same name, just because of the huge task he has at hand; saving humanity by defeating an evil alien in the past. You can feel for him as he's the last man on Earth in his reality in SS3.

Malcolm Reynolds (Firefly)

The Doctor.

Hmmm
I can give you my top three, it's difficult to name just one :P
Kiyotaka Ayanokōji from classroom of the elite (anime)
Hanibal from ...well, you know.
Tanja from The Saga of Tanya the Evil (anime)

I think I've got a thing for genius sociopaths...

If i can say from a game,I have to go with Gaunter O'Dimm from the Witcher 3,I've played a lot of games but no other villain stood out for me as he did,just a simple guy,a merchant of mirrors of some sorts,or simply a God as his acronym might suggest,who knows,but one thing is sure he is much more than that.

Ryu Hayabusa from a game series named Ninja Gaiden. The only action hack and slash game character that makes me want to be. His skills are so pure martial art and has beautiful moves. No need blink blink and bullshit abilities to look cool. You take off his ninpos and he is still able to save your ass.

It's either Eeyore (Winnie-the-Pooh books) or the Groke (Moomin books). Also maybe Eve from Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive and Susan Ashworth from The Cat Lady. I can't really choose one, sorry.

John Wick is badass.

The legendary Yamada Tae....

Ok, bad references aside, it's got to be Santa Claus, not sure any fictional character will ever beat him in my mind :p

Fang Yuan from webnovel Reverend Insanity

Take a guess ... ;)

Dante from Devil May Cry

The Dude from The Big Lebowski...also Marvin and the narrator from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Satan (my father figure and role model) \m/

It's a really hard question but then again, I really like Kain from Legacy of Kain. Like, pretty much everything about Kain but mostly the personality. No homo.

View attached image.

His Grace His Excellency The Duke of Ankh Commander Sir Samuel Vimes

Naked Snake/Big Boss has always been a personal favourite of mine. Not sure if I have a definitive answer but that's what came to mind first.

Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series (books and videogames).

Rinoa from FFVIII and Tear from Tales of Abyss.
