Who Are Your Favorite Fictional Characters (tv, movies, literature etc.)?

RE: Who Are Your Favorite Fictional Characters (tv, movies, literature etc.)?
As EP noted, the OP asks two different questions.

Characters I most Like: James T Kirk and Benjamin L Sisko from the original Star Trek series and Star Trek: Deep Space 9 respectively. These are larger than life characters with strength of will and conviction to their principles beyond what we would consider realistic. They are ultimate bad-ass heroes. Garack from Deep Space 9 gets a mention here too. He is an absolutely delightful character with an unlikely mix of charisma, deeply-held principles and complete lack of regard for traditional morals. He's definitely a maverick. You couldn't resist bellying up to a bar with him because he's so fascinating but you would be best advised not to turn your back on him. What a brilliant character!

Character I most identify with: Gilbert from Revenge of the Nerds. He's a good match for my realistic optimism. Like Gilbert, I'm a cautious optimist. I have full optimism in the ability of humankind to rise to whatever heights are allowed by the laws of physics but I'm also fully cognizant of our failings. Like Gilbert, I would not likely be swayed by hucksters like the Alpha-Beta in Revenge of the Nerds II but I would fully accept true converts like Fredrick Aloysius Pawlowski (Ogre, you asshole) if he proved himself worthy.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
