Inspirational Gaming Figures

[Socrates]

I was thinking about inspirational figures in video games a few minutes ago.

We see a lot of characters who are simply bad-asses who can take on hundreds of guys and be ready and willing to take on a hundred more. But I was thinking, who are the characters that have actually affected people in some way.

So that's what this thread is about, inspirational characters in video gaming.

All I ask is that all characters named are part of a video game, not from online anime or something similar.
(A character like Lee in the Walking Dead is an exception because Walking Dead is playable, not JUST reading.)

(Not saying it's bad, just wondering why.)

[RedGajin]

the only way i can see a video game character having an effect on me was if it was like a videogame based off of a true story and the character actually existed. but i mean im not going to find mario inspirational or anything.

[Kobewarrior]

Duke Nukem all the way.

[Mega-Bear]

He made me laugh a lot and didn't afraid. He was quite the character.
