Poll: In Fiction, are you more interested in the mundane characters or the fantastical ones?

[Euryalus]

Philosophically minded people are fantastical? I mean socrates was a weirdo who was put to death for being annoying, but come on! Fantastical?

OT: Either? I suppose I like real people a bit better, but you can find them in a lot of settings. From the Illiad and Dragon Age, to historical novels like Samarkand.

As a writer, I enjoy both. A little of the fantasy and a little ho-hum together are the best.

Example: It tickles me pink to imagine a dark lord of all chaos, leader of at least three circles of hell, being a console peasant who often gets stuck in traffic and is allergic to peanuts.
