Top Five I Will Love Until The End of Time

All right! :D

(Just going to do these out of order if that's okay)

1. The Jedi Exile from KOTOR II. Let's say that she holds a special place in my heart, ever since I played KOTOR II in middle school when I got it for Christmas (it was actually kind of a happy accident because I said to my mom that I wanted one of the KOTOR games but I didn't really specify which one, so I got the second one first. It took a while -- thanks to my computer -- to actually play the first one, and that was on the X-Box). I was just so impressed with her story, her development, her overall arc, and even though the game had a lot of cut content, I still have warm memories of it, and the Exile.

2. Rose Tyler. I love all the companions, really, but Rose is my personal favorite.

3. Arwen and Eowyn. Yeah, I guess it's cheating to put them in the same slot, but their characters are just wonderful and amazing. Arwen's strength and devotion, Eowyn's courage...they're just awesome.

4. Jamie Lloyd and Laurie Strode. I mean, they're just awesome characters.

5. Kreia/Darth Traya from KOTOR II. Yeah, another KOTOR II character. Let's just say that in terms of gaming experience, she was difficult, cryptic, and almost strangely compelling in terms of it, and the unconventional philosophies that she had on the Force. That and she was a very layered character. I heard some compare her to Palpatine, but in a way, she kind of reminds me of Elphaba from Wicked -- someone who didn't exactly have a good lot in life, was driven to villainy (and even her villainy status is kind of in question) via good intentions, bitter and angry but still, in the end, having some good in them (Kreia admitting that in a way, she cared about the Exile, which, first time I saw it, was a genuinely moving scene). Kreia's interesting because she's a character I didn't really expect to like, but once I played the game, she grew to be one of my favorites (even if I didn't entirely get her first time I played, being a middle-schooler at the time. Now that I'm older, I can understand her better).

I still haven't played much KOTOR II. Matt has but, he enjoyed it :) I should check it out!
Hee, putting Arwen & Eowyn together isn't cheating. They're both such incredible characters. This is way off topic, but I just watched a youtube vid recently that was an Arwen/Legolas ship and at the end it implies that Aragorn/Eowyn end up together, which is not my favourite shipping but it was a super pretty vid lol.
Okay, I really need to check this game out, you're making me want to play it! :)

He has? That's awesome! And yeah, you should check it out -- check out both KOTOR games, actually, because they're fantastic. :)

And that they are! I mean, they are awesome. And this vid sounds really cool; can I have a link? :)

And please do! It's fantastic.
