If you could be any fictional character, either out of books OR movies, who would you be.
Any time period, race, sex, whatever. Who would you be?
Now, keep in mind that your life would have to adhere to the canon of that character. This gives you guys something to think about before you choose some character like Rambo, Marneus Calgar or some other Warfare entrenched hero...remember, a life of Warfare and life-risk isnt exactly "enjoyable" by anyone other than a complete madman. If you think about it, Rambo's life really sucks, despite what a badass he is.
I read this elsewhere on another forum today, so actually I havent thought about it much for myself, but if the choice was given to me at this time and I had to choose RIGHT NOW...I'd probably go with Lestat de' Lioncourt...or the Vampire Lestat for the layman.
Immortality......Nuff said.
I'll have to put more thought into it....Captain Kirk might be a great possibility as well. Getting laid all 'round the galaxy while at the same time being revered as a total badass by humanity and alien races alike...hmmmm, definatly a possibility.

I would be my own fictional character
I would have the superhuman power to absorb 100 times the normal energy that a regular human does through their food. With my super human power I would then start to destroy the worlds food supply. I would create a gruel that has minimum food energy and also mind control powers in it and build an army of zombie like slaves to do my bidding all while enjoy one piece of food a month while the rest of hummanity starves and I become ruler of the world.
either that or some immortal vampire day walker type creature

I think I'm already a fictional character. Some days certainly seem surreal enough.

I would argue that characters like Rambo, Batman, Kirk, etc. are F-ing crazy and dysfunctional by anyone's standards if they were looked at in a 'real world' way. The media would portray them as despicable and loathsome and by normal standards, they'd be right (Well, maybe not Kirk but that's because he is a military hero, but he's still crazy).
I'd want to be Samwise Gamgee at the end of the books. Worst days behind me. A simple life with a family and good earth to work in the Shire.

Does Hugh Hefner count? If so count me in.
The main character from The Last Starfighter. Grows up being a videogame wiz, finds out that he has a chance to save the Federation, flys a spaceship, kills the bad guy, saves the Federation, gets honored, and gets the chick. Win, win, and win all around.

I would say so. He is a fictional character but remember he is also an old guy. Do you really think he is still 'living the life'? I would seriously doubt it that's why he's fictional.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

If anyone has seen Deadshanes left arm, I think we threw it about a mile that way.
Being Snake would be a great thing, no need to talk, I can just mumble and spew out occasional profanity... Oh yeah, my gun has infinite ammo too!
   
"Note"
The funniest part would be to see Mad-max running head first into saving some stupid kids, while Snake had already hi-jacked the gyrocopter, and was nearly a mile away when Max turned around to see where he was.
GO SNAKE!!!
