List fifteen of your favorite characters from different fandoms, and ask people to spot patterns in your choices, if they're so inclined.

Rigorously in random order :D

1) Juzo Okita / Abraham Avatar [Uchuu Senkan Yamato / Star Blazers] ...guess where my nickname comes from ^^;
2) John Koenig [Space 1999]
3) Oscar François de Jarjayes [Versailles no Bara / Lady Oscar]
4) Corto Maltese
5) Durandal [Marathon]
6) Vector Prime [Transformers]
7) Locutus [Star Trek] Actually is more the Borg in general as a concept, but since the meme asks for a character...
8) Ellen Ripley [Alien saga] The clone too
9) Gaius Philippus [Videssos cycle]
10) Gorthan [PKNA]
11) Lobo [DC Comics]
12) Thanos [Marvel]
13) Jones [Gunnerkrigg Court]
14) Sanakan [Blame!]
15) Oliver Armstrong [Fullmetal Alchemist]

So difficult to choose! Because I can't think at characters alone, but more at the interaction between them.

Anyway. The males are quite a varied bunch: either positive/guiding, or rugged warriors, or adversaries/tyrants, or sort of crazy guys. The women, however, are mostly small variations of basically the same prototype.
