video games are known to bring joy & fond memories, from the vast mmorpg to the classic fighter to the 2d/3d platform & so on; but over time ~ many character designs come & go, but only a handful are treasured as inspirational (in persona, style & look..). a samurai perhaps, or a mech, perhaps an unknown or even a magic-user of legend?

so here's my thought of the moment ~ which video game character(s) have you admired over the years & which game(s) do they originate from?

someone once told me that if it can be drawn here, then it actually exists - somewhere else; so is it the artist's genius that creates such characters, or is it like the film - Cool World, where the characters exist with or without the artist's vision? whether one admires or finds them to be cool, is there that much of a difference?

While some people might try to be deep, a character is simply a work of art that is fictional. The characters indeed have a personality and in what defines a personality, it can be seen as being "alive" in its own unique way, but regardless, it is still the fiction that spawns from the mind of an individual(s) which created the character. Without that creativity and talent, nothing can ever come to exist.

Indeed, for my sense of definitions, I find the word useages to convey different meanings. "Cool" is an incredibly vauge word, with multiple useages and because of that, it constitutes its self in many positive senses.

To me, admiring something means that you have a great deal of respect for something. Indeed, one can have a great deal of respect for something because of a characters design or for whatever other reasons. I can partake in the beauty and brilliance of a characters design, but the admiration or respect that I have is for the talent and creativity that it took to create a character. Without that talent and creativity, there never would be characters of any sort to begin with. My respect or admiration goes to the creator, but but my eye for esthetics and design goes to the character.

That's just my two cents of course. But, just to point out some characters, it would be Parappa the Rappa and Thomas from Suikoden 3.
