Relating to a Videogamecharakter

[odBilal]

Good evening(or morning) fellow Escapees.

I have a question for you.
Are there any videogamecharakters you can relate to?

For me, its Niko Bellic from GTAIV.
Just like him, I am a foreigner. Im a Turk living in Switzerland and am confronted to not belonging here on a daily basis. Also I work hard to be able to support my family.
And like Niko has his cousin I have my brother who gets on my nerves, always begs for money and gets me in all kinds of trouble.

But enough of me, what about YOU?

EDIT: Maybe I should change my avatar, MarchMayhem was a longtime ago

Hmmm... I could say I relate to Ken Amada from Persona 3.

He's a kid living in an adult's world.

He's quite mature for his age but still has his childish moments from time to time.

 

[putowtin]

My female protagonist from saints row 3
mad and a fantastic dresser!

Zeke from inFamous 2
the sidekick, doing all the background work, and staying in the background.

 

[Ordinaryundone]

Vincent, from Catherine.

I've been in the same situation before. Its not fun. Vincent may not be the most sympathetic protagonist in the entire world, but I really felt bad for him. Shit cut close to home.

 

[KhaineII]

Anthony Carmine, from Gears of War 1.

Balls out when things are going great, a lot of panic when things are not.

 

[NerfedFalcon]

Youmu Konpaku, from Touhou (debut: Perfect Cherry Blossom). Naive, hot-headed, short-tempered and utterly devoted to one tiny facet of her existence (and she shouldn't exist in the first place.) Four of those five also apply to me.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

Link, He is the medium through which I become the hero of time so basically as a character he is me. Very easy to relate with myself.

 

[Batou667]

Dan Hibiki. Out of his league, but never gives up! Yaaaaah!

 

[Terminate421]

This is not a blank slate of a soldier, or a red shirt at all. He is no ordinary person. He is just a young person with a heart of gold. (Pretty much is me if I was a soldier, get lucky for a little while then die horribly.)



Ben Carmine

 

[Soviet Heavy]

I don't know, can someone name me a misanthropic antisocial person who tries to be polite, but is struck by a crippling lack of self confidence?

 

[saucecode]

Im a bit like Ezio Auditore.
Not so much an assassin, just the silent, un-noticed type.

 

[sextus the crazy]

Neku from The World Ends With You
Doesn't really interact with people much, mildly misanthropic, but still sees the good in people

 

[Mestraal]

Leisure Suit Larry.
No, that was a horrific, blatant lie and I'm sorry for it.

In seriousness? Hm...
I've always felt a connection with Yuri from Shadow Hearts (and the sequel. The first one)
Slightly cynical, a penchant for one liners and the ability to turn into a demon.
Well, I wish I had the last one.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

I'm amused by the egotism on display in this thread

I can't think of any characters with whom I parallel, but there are a great many characters who I find to be relatable.

 

[Zhukov]

So... you mean "relate to" as in "are similar to"?

Nope, can't say I have.

Video game characters tend to kick way too much arse for me to relate to them that way.
