@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterS for time travel must be Sam Beckett, the original leaper from Quantum Leap. (Sorry Suzuha Amane, we literally just had a Steins;Gate character.)
A show so good they brought it back over 25 years later. Oh boy. #FavCharacterAtoZ
The older I get, the more respect I have for Superman. But I've known my boy Peter for as long as I could read. So of course #FavCharacterS is Spider-Man. And don't you forget the hyphen.
Beat him up, destroy his hopes, no matter, with great power must also come great responsibility, and so Spidey always rises up and cracks a joke to hide the pain, Parker luck be damned.
@ami_angelwings Gotta be Superman for me, yeah? He's an icon, a legend, a modern myth, and just an all-around good guy

The ronin who popularized one of the most iconic archtypes in media today, the badass just stumbles into trouble and kills their way out of it. Tashiro Mifune really was one of the all time greats.
@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterS: Sorawo Kamikoshi from Otherside Picnic. She may seem like your standard "Socially Awkward Protagonist" at first, but she's more than that: she actually kind of sucks.
She's antisocial and awkward to the point that her inner monologue is inevitably "ugh, this sounds like a pain" when she can't escape being considerate to her friends and the people around her.
She can be pretty callous, especially towards strangers and in especially traumatic situations, but mostly for good reasons.
She's not terrible, she's just moderately awful. I love her.
She's been trying her best, but she still struggles to express herself and her needs, and her awkwardness still results in friction with the other characters.
I like that... I don't know how to say it... the series doesn't just make her social issues a cute affectation, and also doesn't just trot them out for eye-rolling romantic misunderstandings and drama. It's just an element of her life that produces bigger or smaller difficulties.
@ami_angelwings So many! Samwise Gamgee, Sarah Connor, Sheev Palpatine, Satsuki Kusakabe, Sam (Freelance Police), San (a.k.a. Princess Mononoke), Saul Goodman, Saw Gerrera, and I'm sure I'm forgetting many more.
But I'm going with Sonic The Hedgehog, who more than any other represents the pure joy of childhood gaming in my memory, even if I haven't kept up with him in adulthood.

#FavCharacterS
Spock
There was so much competition for this position. Selina Kyle. Seven of Nine. Darth Sidious. Sienna Shaw.
But it had to be Spock. STAR TREK first came into my life at thirteen, and I latched on to the character of Spock hard. There is an outsider aspect to the character, a disconnect between him and his parents, between him and his friends; as a closeted teenager, it was easy to relate to him, and he continues to mean a great deal to me.
My #FavCharacterS should be Sakura Kasugano from Street Fighter b/c I love her & she taught herself how to throw a fireball just by watching Ryu (& should have been a MC in games going forward like SF3 imo)
But I am going to give it to Sheva Alomar, the only black woman protagonist in Resident Evil, only black playable main (Josh is a side story), basically forgotten & will never come back b/c her use was to offset charges of racism in RE5 b/c *waves hand* it's GD RE5. She was originally planned as a non-playable rebel leader, & I don't think she was even supposed to be African (hence the last name). She has an AWFUL racist bonus costume. But she's also very cool, brave, helped rescued Jill & shut Wesker up forever. & I love playing her. So +1000 points in my book.
