megma: Your character is awesome. I don't think it's bad to put
a character you made as your favorite. Self-esteem in the first
place ;D(besides the character is really good as I said
already). I think I like the second variation more though.
Well, that said, now I'm really afraid of you :P. Please don't
kill me. I'm a good guy :).

Here we go!

Ha! A smaller image now!
Plain, simple anime guy and yet a really good character for me.
He's Kyon from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi. His true name
wasn't given in any part of the series(neither the anime and the
novel), so he's called Kyon.
Why do I like him?
...Beats me. Actually, I like him for his situation. A "so
normal" human being in a "not normal at all" situation. But I
guess I like him for some reasons.
1. His ability of reasoning is pretty amazing. Nothing out of
the normal, but he's quite intelligent. He's kind of cold when
it comes to surprises or unnatural situations. Of course, he
can't manage a death-life situation with that face in the image,
he's a normal human after all.
2. Ah, the irony. Nothing really special or complicated, but
he's good with irony. I mean, since the novel happens around his
perspective, we can often see what he's thinking. I'm not really
a big fan of irony, but a good one always make me laugh [-). The
comedy in the novel(and anime) is pretty much more than half(in
my opinion almost all) of it made of his comments and thoughts.
3. In a situation that he can't change, Kyon pities himself
while comparing his situation with some mistake a big idiot(him)
made. Something like: "A situation of some idiot who pushed a
big red button that clearly had 'Don't Push' written all over
it, and then started a time bomb. This idiot now has to carry
the bomb all the time while waiting for it to explode, but it
doesn't have a timer, so he doesn't know when it'll happen. He
can't dispose of it either, because he can't find a proper place
to do so, what's more, the bomb is glued in his hands with super
glue. And the worst thing is, it isn't known what will happen
when it explodes. Perphaps the world will come to an end,
perphaps it is just some kid's toy and nothing will happen it
all. The idiot is me, the bomb is Suzumiya, and who knows what
will happen...". Some other comparisons are also made.
4. A simple, yet mysterious character. Even if he's, in theory,
plain and normal, no one knows much about him. No one in the
story actually knows why he's in a such ridiculous situation
while he is only a normal human being(in fact, some actually
know why, but don't know the explanation for it). Neither his
name nor much of his past are revealed. Yet, such a normal
person wouldn't have a epic or sad history to tell. In fact, he
probably don't talk much about his past because he doesn't think
it's really worthy telling it.
5. He has a weird general knowledge, making some random
references to famous(or not that much) people or facts in
history. It's not like he has a ridiculous amount of
knowledge...I would say that he does his homework [-). Perphaps
for this reason and some others, he doesn't really believe in
anything. He also has cultural, religious and some other
knowledge in the area, but he doesn't(didn't) really believe in
gods, aliens, monsters, unnatural and not normal things. It's
almost looks like the world is making fun of him, since he's
situation would be, for many other people and also himself,
unbelieveable.
Like I said, I don't have much complaints of him, and I really
think his situation is pretty amazing, so I decided to put him
here. A epic and amazing character? Not at all, but he's a good
character for many reasons.

HTML http://awoiaf.westeros.org/images/thumb/1/1a/Tywin.jpg/250px-Tywin.jpg
A character who was written so well that I have come to
absolutely detest him: Tywin Lannister from A Song of Ice and
Fire. I often see Tywin characterised as cold, measured,
rational, unemotional, controlled, pragmatic, and overall a
ruthlessly efficient politician; that's for sure. On the other
hand, he is utterly amoral, a horrible father, and a sorry
excuse for a human being.
He has a special mix of an utter callousness for human life, a
flagrant disregard for justice, duty, loyalty or honour,
completel lack of any personal code, a twisted, oft indulged
cruelty and no redeeming tragic background to excuse any of it.
He keeps constantly on hand bloodthirsty monsters like Gregor
Clegane and Vargo Hoat, is completely uncritical of their
actions, and is always willing to use them. His tactics in war
are incredibly dirty and underhanded. He will rape and pillage
and torture as a tactic. Flying false banners. He will not blink
to murder children. He doesn't give a shit about human lives,
except when it fits him.
You might say that he brought peace to the realm during the 20
years he served as Aerys the Mad King's Hand. What peace? The
kind of peace that exploded into a rebellion that swept up half
the realm at the drop of couple of roses. He was flagrantly
disloyal, at the end, of course. But before that - he was
utterly unreliable. We saw how much he cared about the kingdom,
how willing he was to leave it in Aerys' mad hands the moment it
doesn't serve his interests anymore.
And then we have Tywin the father. He only cares about his elder
children Cersei and Jaime as extensions to his own power and
legacy, and there was almost nothing of actual parental love in
his behaviour, and what he'd done to his dwarf son Tyrion was
purely malicious and outright not efficient to any personal goal
- he hated him simply for being an ugly dwarf in a family with a
reputation of having good looks, and for his frequent whoring.
He also doesn't understand one bit about his children at all. He
always raised Jaime as his heir, even after he disinherited
himself by joining the Kingsguard - Tywin simply thought he'd
release him from his vows and have him inherit; in reality,
Jaime cared more about fighting than ruling his lands. Cersei,
well,... one of the only few good things we ever hear about
Tywin was that he smiled for Cersei. Good job parenting there,
considering she was murdering her friends as a preteen.
And now Tysha. Tyrion married her, a commoner girl, without his
permission, and she was raped by an entire garrison, to teach
Tyrion a lesson. This isn't measured, rational, unemotional. Its
bizarre. Over the top. A piece of pure, gleeful theater of
torture and cruelty, topped off with the lies, the money,
forcing Tyrion to go last. This is what he did to his son for
daring to fall in love with someone he found inappropriate.
Thats not how anyone with a shred of maturity, or a conscience,
would deal with the situation.
Finally, his end in ASoS was as satisfying as it could be.
Tyrion found him in his bed, sleeping with Shae, his whore; and,
remembering of what he did to Tysha, Tyrion strangled Shae to
death and confronts him in the privy. Even as Tyrion has him at
crossbow-point with his pants down, he keeps badmouthing
Tyrion's wife and treating his son like a joke. Tyrion does not
take it well... Such a fitting end for a monster.
Compare him to Eddard Stark. His honour got him killed, but also
ensured the undying loyalty of nearly all of his bannermen after
his death; while even though everyone in the Seven Kingdoms
fears him for his power and prodigious mind, none of them cared
a shit about him after his death, with Jaime refusing to leave
the Kingsguard to succeed Tywin, Tyrion exiled, and Cersei
quickly running the realm to the ground with her madness. When
his competent brother Kevan takes over the regency, he is killed
because he is the only man who can keep the Lannister regime
from collapsing. Now with Kevan dead, I'm eagerly waiting to see
how spectacularly the Lannisters fall in tWoW.
It is ironic how the actions of a man always obsessed with his
family's legacy have just been facilitating the downfall of his
very house.
