That's funny, he's got majority vote when it comes to favorite characters among the people I know.

My love: heroes. Not the "FOR HONOR" type, or the "BECAUSE I'M RIGHT" type, but the ones that keep plowing through to take down the oppressor, all personal bawwwing put aside, come Hell or high water, simply because someone has to do it. The ones who are happy to then fade back into obscurity once the celebrations are taking place.

Huh, are we reading the same manga? Fay's the guy who sees through lies, isn't he?..
What I love about Fay and most of my other favourite characters is the combination of strength, either physical or intellectual, with gentleness and femininity. Also the ability to keep their calm in most situations and their tendency to smile and see the bright sides of life. Which is so much better than unbridled teenage angst.

Here, have two favourite characters.

Rougish, charming and gifted with a cheeky grin. Normally piratey/steampunkish/sci-fi adventure stories have guys like this. Think Captain Jack Sparrow, Balthier, Han Solo (shut up) - the sort that are all front and fast talk. The kind that seem like assholes at first, but you gradually become more endeared towards them as you begin to see their virtues; their loyalty to those who they can genuinely trust, their devotion to partners or family or their reason for having become a thief/pirate/villain etc.

They tend to come equipped with a hefty back story, some trauma and great romances thrown in there. They also tend to be womanisers, and use cheesy lines on them. I totally dig that shit; I'd be the one going “Oh, you” and slapping them on the leg. This is seemingly a long list of requirements, but I'd reckon you'd find this type very easily in a great deal of games/novels/movies/anime.

I've noticed all my likable guys' all steam from Dante. Preferably older Dante, but I'd take a younger Dante in a heartbeat, too. Just anyone who can have comedy mingled with slightly serious undertones.

Then again... I also like go-the-distance characters like Simon, badass-don't-care characters like Sol Badguy, and maniacal ones with very expressive eyes like, say... Neuro. Or Lelouch, even though he's not necessarily too maniacal.

Ah, I like pretty much every type of character. Stupid, slow, nerdy, or socially awkward characters, because I can empathize with that. The cool, manly, badass, and smart characters because I wish I could be like them. Looks wise, I like pretty much anything as well.

I think if it were a real person, the best kind of man would be one who could treat me like Kabaji, giving orders that I could follow. I'm not that bright and I would hate to do things on my own because I would fail or mess them up, but I can obey orders, and if they are reliant on my doing things for them they won't leave me.

So in the end my best answer is the commanding type I suppose?

I like two kinds of character that are polar opposites.
I love calm, reflective, overlooked characters who often do something crucial and unexpected.

But then, I also love angry characters who will rant about everything and anything at the drop of a hat.

Perfection for me is if I get a quiet character who's lovely and calm, and then goes batshit crazy.
