My favorite game character? I can't decide, but i've got few at the top.
Metroid Series: Samus Aran just kicks ass. Period. The entire Metroid series has been excellently made, with a kick-ass story and IMO killer graphics (considering when each was made).
Metroid Prime Hunters: Trace is hella cool, both in hunter form and alternate form, Triskelion. Stealthy, Sleek, Speedy, S-... Deadly. His morphing animation when entering alternate form is cool too.
Metroid Prime Hunters: Spire is like your typical golem with brute force, and despite his lack of speed, his alternate form Dialanche can climb walls and is deadly in close combat. Plus, if you read my introductory post, you know that i really like golems in general.
Tales of Symphonia: Presea Combatir is the lovable combination of extremely cute, and super strong. Want to see?

Just try to imagine any other 12-year-old girl do that. ^.^
Sonic series: Miles 'Tails' Prower is cute. He's just so adorable, 'cause he's a fluffy orange fox. I've played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and 3 for the Sega Saturn, and I always play as Tails and my older brother plays as Sonic.
Samus Aran, Trace, Spire, Presea Combatir, and Miles 'Tails' Prower are my top 5 favorite characters.
