Here were her instructions: 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.
- Aragorn (Lord of the Rings --the book version, not the movie version)
- Adam Hauptmann - Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson series
- Morpheus (The Matrix)
- Trinity (The Matrix)
- Sarah Connor (The Terminator, Terminator 2)
- Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings - all three books)
- Ed Walters (Tim Robbin's character in IQ)
- Faramir (Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, LOTR: Return of the King -- the book versions, not the movie version. Faramir's character in the book is quite different from the movie so if you haven't read The Two Towers, you're missing out on a great character)
- Eomer (Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, LOTR: Return of the King -- the book versions not the movie version)
- Bran Cornick - Patricia Brigg's Mercy Thompson series, and Patricia Brigg's Alpha & Omega series
- Erin Brown - Lauren Dane's Laid Bare
- John Clark of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series but specifically from his own book, Without Remorse
- Butch (JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series)
- Horatio Hornblower (of the Horatio Hornblower series -- in a strange twist from my usual stance of books being better than television, I really like how Ioan Gruffudd portrayed him in the television series over the character in the books)
- Jamie Fraser (Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series)
I have to admit I was tempted to play with the order of the characters but she did say the first fifteen I recalled, so I left them the way they were. So tell me, what characters have stayed with you? (You don't have to list all fifteen though.)
