Forgot to add one more guy!

Arthas! - The awesome death knight from War Craft!

Sora/Roxas: Their story is amazing. Sora's the typical, young warrior who fights for the good of...good really. Roxas is his Nobody (kind of like a clone) and you can feel his pain and desire to be more than just nothing. They're good together.

Link: Classic! His arsenal of weapons, his obsession with helping people, and fighting to save his Princess! His history is amazing. Especially Ocarina of Time, my personal favorite.

Cloud: Yep, hate to say it but I too am in love with this man. xD Some people hate him because he's so dang popular. He's the silent type guy with a huge sword. He work his way to be the man that he is now, his friends died and he fights for them. Crisis Core is out, it's like a prequel to the series showing Cloud's kind of mentor: Zack. And he's dilemna with Sephiroth!

Red: Pokemon Master! The first trainer of the Pokemon series! Awesome!

Megaman: Man in blue armor suit, shooting people with his amazing cannon arm. How cool is that? He's fought a long fight, along with his other "versions". He's hard to hate, and easy to love.

Kirby: Pink Ball thing that sucks other things up. Genius!

Duke Nukem - You can't beat the bigest hyper-masculine, egotistical, machismo-filled, alien-killing womanizer of the entire gaming world. He's so überly political-incorrect by todays standards that you can't help but like him.

Link: Classic and even after 20 years is still just as good in the Zelda games.

Princess Ashe: I just love the cute outfit, plus she is a good fighter.

Terra Bradford: From Fianl Fantasy 6. Half human half esper. I just love the story that surrounds her.

Yuna: A real fighting that fights to the end. From Final Fantasy X and X-2.

Frank West: He's from Dead Rising on the Xbox360. He goes into this mall in this town to find out what was going on only to get more than what he bargained for.

Samus Aran: Another classic game character. The improvements she has gone through in each Metroid game is just awesome.

Shion Uzuki: The story that surrounds her in the 3 Xenosaga games is amazing. It fascinates me.

Link- See various reasons above

Addlebert Steiner- The Princess's Guard in Final Fantasy IX. Something about him screamed badass to me. In fact am currently in the beginning stages of his costume for a cosplay.

Mario- Do i really need to explain?

Uthar the Lightbringer- Legendary Paladin. Died due to Arthas and the Burning Legion. (Warcraft)

Disaace- Yes, thats right. Me. My wow character.

Summoners- All the summoners in my opinion are the shit. They were my favorite class in FFXI to play, and in Tactics the hero was a summoner. Always.

other than that, not so many

ok Link
Sora
and the dumba$$ himself Tidus
