I got this from Bree of Moira Rogers, who got it from Vivian Arend …

Here’s the directions: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen fictional characters (television, films, plays, books) who’ve influenced you and/or that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.

1. Spike – Buffy the Vampire Slayer

2. Sawyer – Lost

3. Dexter

4. Riddick –  Pitch Black

5. Peter Blood –  Captain Blood

6. Arabella Bishop – also Captain Blood

7. Zuko – Avatar: The Last Airbender (the series, not the movie)

8. Harry Dresden – Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

9. Erik – The Phantom of the Opera (novel and musical)

10. Japhrimel – Dante Valentine series by Lilith Saintcrow

11. Jill Kismet – series of the same name by Lilith Saintcrow

12. Squall – Final Fantasy VIII

13. Dream of the Endless – Sandman series by Neil Gaiman

14.Roland – The Dark Tower series by Stephen King

15. Lobo – from a story in “Wild Animals I Have Known” by Earnest Thompson Seaton

So that’s my strange little list. It’s a little heavy on the angst and the anti-hero, but after all, that’s what I love. 😉
