Nominations: Favourite Character

[Archangel]

As in, not villains. Separate thread for those, even though it's hard to say whether the protagonists of the GTA games or Kratos aren't actually bad guys, or whether Big Boss is a hero (Snake Eater) or a villain (old school Metal Gear)...
Oh yeah, try to keep them original, as in, actual video game characters. Ding Chavez kicks much arse in the R6 games, but he IS from a book.

Anyway, five nominations, multiple characters from one series allowed, no divisions by era.

Good call on the Barb. You gotta love the "OHH!" and "HAUGH!" of the warcries. Plus, a good Frenzy Barb going through the Burning Hells plays well with some Dethklok in the background.

However, I've changed my nominations above to show that the Necro is one of my favorite characters. (Sorry, Link) The man fights the undead with more undead. I mean, you have to give him some props for taking an opponent's strength and turning it against them.
