Yoinked from [livejournal.com profile] hcuz, who yoinked it from <lj site="livejournal.com"

For each of your fandoms, name:

1. A character you absolutely worship
2. A character you like
3. A character you could give or take
4. A character you don't really care for
5. A character you'd like to spork




Aside from Sonic and Kirby, which don't really HAVE minor characters (unless you count random enemies), I've tried to keep the majors out of the running. There is one case where its otherwise, but you can see that.

'Tales of' series (Tales of Phantasia, Destiny, et al)
1) Arche Klein (Tales of Phantasia): Come on. Pink hair + spells that make the things go boom + openly flirtatious behaviour which leads TO such rogue translations as the now-infamous 'fucks like a tiger' line... There's no way you can lose.
2) Meredy (Tales of Eternia/Tales of Destiny 2 (US)): YOU BET. Also, the owner of the cutest damn animal mascot this side of Grandia 2.
3) Leon Magnus (Tales of Destiny): Okay. He had really neat battle music. Which was good, because aside from being a generic asshole, he had a Cloud Complex bigger than Cloud himself (OMG I HAVE A DARK TRAGIC PAST OMG IT IS NOW TIME FOR DAILY ANGSTING + APATHY. BYE BLOG)
4) Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia): I probably wouldn't mind him, except for being voiced by Scott Menville. If I didn't hear "TITANS, GO!" in my head at the beginning of EVERY RANDOM BATTLE (And the Tales series is known for having too many damn random battles), then he might rank higher.
5) Kratos Aurion (Tales of Symphonia): See Leon. Take away neat battle music. Add Cam Clarke voice. Stir well until stupid.

Revolutionary Girl Utena/Shoujo Kakumei Utena
1) Miki Kaoru: It's obvious that he's just a tortured little Rei wannabe trying to live in the freaky-deaky world of the show. He doesn't WANT to have a wildly incestuous twin sister stalking him, he just wants to play the piano. And get in Anthy's pants. But that's because everyone in this show wants to get in someone else's pants. It's like Queer As Folk on crack.
2) Juri Arisugawa: True, she's got angst, but she is also the show's first "BLATANT LESBIANISM AHOY" sign. Plus, she fences. Only two people in the show fence in a sport-like manner, and they're also the top two on the list.
3) Mikage Souji: At first, I woulda put him in the #1 spot, but then I realized two things: 1) He's not real. Any time something is wrapped up with a "THIS WAS ALL A DREAM/FRAGMENT OF THE PAST/HALLUCINATION", it pisses me off. 2) He has what one would call a shouta complex. Ew.
4) Nanami Kiryuu: Ugh. Annoying. Psycho bitch laugh, general psycho bitch EVERYTHING, used as the comic relief for EVERY SINGLE FILLER EPISODE. Plus, she wears an ugly yellow outfit.
5) Touga Kiryuu: At first it seems like he's a sympathetic antagonist, being a bastard only because he has to and trying to get in Utena's pants at every other opportunity. Then, the series advances and it turns out he was just working on orders higher up. Fucking tool.

Sonic the Hedgehog series
1) Miles "Tails" Prower: DUH. I don't know anyone who likes the Sonic games that doesn't own (or want) a Tails plushie. He's the epitome of adorable, even when he went and turned Boy Genius on us. Especially, in some cases.
2) Amy Rose: Pink + able to kick your ass = always a winner, here.
3) Sonic/Shadow: One is a reckless smartass, the other is a reckless angstboy. Aside from that, they're 99% identical. Feh.
4) Knuckles: At first he seems alright. As a matter of fact, if you JUST play S3+K, you might be persuaded to like him. But as more games come out with him involved, it becomes further and further clear that he rode the short bus as a child. I have not SEEN a bigger idiot. Plus, playing hide-and-seek with rocks is dumb.
5) Sally Acorn: ...Congratulations. You singlehandedly pushed more wierdos into the furry fandom than the entire Disney Afternoon lineup combined. You could be the one responsible for the CSI wierdness.

(EDIT: Ugh, getting out of work sucked. I couldn't get out until an hour later..)

Kirby series (including both the games and the anime)
1) Kirby (Game version mainly): The main man himself. Once again, the tried and true combination of pink + able to kick butt. This is further helped by the fact that he's essentially a marshmallow-covered black hole. And that he's very marketably huggable.
2) Meta-Knight (DUBBED anime version mainly): Much like pink + pwn = good, cute + overdone mexican accent = good. I mean, look at how many people liked Puss in Boots from Shrek 2.
3) Rick the Hamster: Let's see. Rather lackluster powers in Dreamland 2/Dreamland 3, rather boring in show, rather unnotable as a design. Eh, whatever.
4) Nightmare/Dark Matter/Final Boss Du Jour: It's always the same thing past KDL1 and Kirby Super Star. Just some floating black eyeball. It was in the most recent entry, too. Learn some originality, people. Or do you want people thinking you're Capcom?
And there's two seperate entries for sporking, one for the games and one for the anime.
5/Game) TAC: Don't know who this is? You haven't played Kirby Super Star, then. While he's been recreated in the GBA games, I used this name for ease of memory. As for WHO it is.. there's always one little asshole who snipe-rushes you, snags your powers, and gets the hell out of dodge. That's TAC. Why I hate him should be obvious.
5/Anime) Tiff & Tuff: WHY? I mean, just, WHY?! They aren't appealing, they're made out to be utterly snobbish and annoying, and at times they seem even stupider than the writers made the completely-incapable-of-speech Kirby.

The Legend of Zelda series
1) The Old Man: MASTER USING IT AND YOU CAN HAVE THIS.
2) Tetra: Who says that Link is the only keeper of the Triforce to have a backbone? Granted, it quickly goes away, but, ah well.
3) Ezlo: He who would probably be more liked if he wasn't a god damn duck hat.
4) Navi: While not deserving of sporking since she was PARTIALLY useful (Unlike the Majora's Mask replacement for her), she is definitely deserving of hate from repeated HEY WISSEN HEY WISSEN WOOK OUUUUUT HEY HEY OH HEY WISSEN
5) Tatl: Navi, without the usefulness. And a good part of what made me hate Majora's Mask. Aside from it fucking schooling me.

But as more games come out with him involved, it becomes further and further clear that he rode the short bus as a child. I have not SEEN a bigger idiot.

I dunno, he seemed pretty grounded in Sonic Heroes, and wasn't blatently stupid in Sonic Battle or Sonic Advance 3. Heck, he didn't do anything _too_ dimwitted in Sonic Adventure 2 (saving someone who can _fly_ from _falling_ doesn't count; that was just instinct) My theory is he lets his psychotic obessesion with the Master Emerald get in the way of logical thought; in unrelated matters, he seems averagely intelligent, or at least not dumber than average.

I will firmly agree tho' that yes, in matters of the Master Emerald, he rides the short bus frequently. My kingdom for a clue for the poor guy...

Sonic Advance 3 had character development? Funny, I guess I couldn't get past the Chaotixism long enough to get it.

Sonic Battle, he was still very much "punch first, ask questions after punching three more times".

Point. Although much of that was punching Emerl, so I didn't mind so much. Well, or wouldn't have if Knuckles hadn't kicked my ass so many times. I hate Emerl. */tangent*
