Although, clarification: are we making up these characters or are they pre-existing?

Then we've got Cassie Sandsmark, the feisty blonde leader of Young Justice. I dig her costume with its jeans and tanktop and boots, and the fact that she manages such a boys club and is a total tomboy. I don't know much of her story past Young Justice, but she kicks ass in that series and has the strongest character arc. Yeah, she's a smartass, but you know I love that.
How about Lost's resident drug-addict-turned...well, ex-drug-addict, Charlie Pace? I always kind of enjoyed him, when he wasn't being a horrible human being. But maybe I just have a soft spot for guitar players. Or perhaps I just find ( ... )

I only ever read a few of the Narnia books while I was a kid but I remember Caspian being one of my favorite characters, and I always kind of enjoyed him, when he wasn't being a horrible human being --> haha, this sentence made me laugh knowingly.
And you know what? I think the uniform has always been my favorite Charlie Brown moment too.
I like your choices!

Laura Roslin, aka Madam Airlock. Through thick and thin she's so driven (if a little waylaid by chamalla and prophecy), but I've rarely seen such a kickass character in an older woman. She's smart, determined, not above cheating to get what she wants, and more than anything has this abiding belief in herself and a few key people even when it might not be warranted. There's a steely sort of beauty to Laura and even when she should be resigned, she rarely lets that get in her way and take over.
Since we're in Battlestar land, Leoben Conoy. What is the first article of faith? That this is not all there is. Man, what a conflicted and conflicting character. I go back and forth between believing that he believes in everything he says absolutely and being convinced that he's just an evil manipulative opportunistic S.O.B. He's probably both, but I love it when he gets all righteous and insistent just as much as I detest it when he gets downright cruel. Ultimately he's just a scared little kid who doesn't know which side he's really ( ... )

I assigned you the letter and then had to stop and think about who I'd have picked because my mind suddenly went blank of all L names. But when they started seeping back in Laura and Leoben were at the top of the list. You've known from the beginning how much I love Laura as a character, and I honestly think Leoben is fascinating. I think he's both absolutely certain of his beliefs and incredibly manipulative. My question right up until seeing the Flesh and Bone arc from his point of view in The Plan was is he just obsessed with her or does he actually have some kind of tap into something else. And the flashes of the future he got when he backed her up against the wall proved he does have something else going on. It doesn't change the fact that he's obsessed with her, though, or that he goes to extreme measures and is excellent at manipulation. It just... I don't know, gives a slightly different accent to his character ( ... )

And I know exactly what you mean about Mephisto! I always had the hardest time with Duriel at the end of act two -- he was so fast! -- but Mephisto was creepier, in my opinion. My favorite characters to play were the amazon (with bow) and the sorceress, so I could usually keep the casualties down as long as I shot at him from across that little river of blood around his platform.
Some of my first crushes were on animated men, so I won't blame you for crushing on MacGyver at a young age. Or now, really. Smart is sexy!
