List your top ten favorite characters (one per fandom/series) and tag ten people.

Tagged by shaydh which I wouldn’t know about, if I not for the urgent need to look at Valdir in love with his crossbow again. Is activity not informing about being tagged a new update, or some random issue? :/

Coincidentally, I recently started a list of all the characters that held my interest for an extended period of time, for research purposes :] I’ve been filling it for a few days now, so there are many, many to choose from, often several in one fandom/medium/setting, since I am fond of certain contexts usually created by characters interacting. I chose less known ones for the purpose of this meme, to check if anyone besides me ever heard about them xD and also those I haven’t babbled about recently/enough. In random order, both old and new:

Anubis|Paul|Antubis the Anteater (Kingdom Hospital TV series) (I am) Different things to different people. You just remember: I do you a solid, you do me a solid. That’s how it works.

Beckett the Gangrel scholar (Vampire: the Masquerade tabletop rpg, best known for VtM: Bloodlines game)  (I consider myself a seeker of reluctant information; "scholar" sounds like academia - ugh!

Nahadoth the Nightlord (The Inheritance Trilogy by N.K. Jemisin) No spoilers here. Go read the thing, now. It’s miles beyond amazing.

Kreia (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II) It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it.

Captain Sean Renard (Grimm TV series) I just like authoritative, well-educated and well-behaved people with dark dirty messy secrets, okay? :P 

Haroun Cygnus Moro, Chakravanti|Euthanatoi mage (Mage: The Sorcerers Crusade tabletop rpg) So obscure it’s only in French. Basically a mystic assassin 

Hauclir! (Malus Darkblade book series, Warhammer) Just awwww! <3

Eugenides|Gen, Thief of Eddis (The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner book series)  I can steal anything! (warning, spoilers)

Jace Beleren, planeswalker, blue mage (Magic: the Gathering) This guy. Enough said. Poor life choices embodied.

Malekith (MCU, Thor: The Dark World) Because tragic antagonists who become mostly accidental villains are great, also Christopher Eccleston <3

(I seem to have three major types. Badasses but badly broken/someone’s tools/fallen heroes; clever sociopaths with foresight powers, wide-scale plans and suppressed emotional side; morally spineless snarky rogues turning out to be more loyal and decent than everybody else combined. I have yet to find a character that covers all three, double crosstypes happen. Also so few females. The only one on this list is a blind old lady with a missing hand... why am I not surprised eh.)
