Hey fellow Escapists!
You know what's really great about some video games? The fact that they give us a Hero who we tend to develop a partnership with over the years. A partnership in terms of traversing the many obstacles presented to us through their eyes and in their shoes one level and life at a times.
A Hero whose personality is already set and ingrained within us, and depending on the series or franchise we get to watch said Hero develop over time or watch them continue on their merry way with each new video game release.
[HEADING=2]So who was your FIRST Video Game Hero?[/HEADING]
[HEADING=2]And who is your current favorite Hero?[/HEADING]
For me I'd have to say my first ever video game Hero has to be:
[HEADING=1]Megaman[/HEADING]
Just look at that little adorable android of walking death! Freaking loved Megaman ever since I was a kid! I could never get enough of the little Blue Bomber.
My current favorite Hero would have to be a tie between:
[HEADING=1]Dante[/HEADING]
Dante's a half-human, half-demon Demon Hunter who basically runs a shop for dealing with said Satanic Menaces via Semi Automatic Pistols, Ebony and Ivory and his signature Claymore Sword, Rebellion. He's a fun loving guy who just knows how to have fun dealing with these sort of issues in the most nonchalant fashion possible. Even taking multiple scythe wounds to his torso just to brush them off to display his sheer awesomeness. The guy's classy and despite this badassery he has one of the most cheesy personalities of all time, but it works for him simply because he's just all kinds of kick ass and is sincere in his goofiness.
[HEADING=1]& Viewtiful Joe[/HEADING]
Joe is every guy who loved anime, especially Super Sentai Action. But what makes Joe such an awesome Hero is that he's an average dude getting to live his dream of being a stylish, pose striking symbol of justice with his own style!
What kind of person wouldn't want that? He's similar to Dante in that while he may not take his responsibilities so seriously at first, he at least knows when to act and has an instilled sense of justice underneath his dorky personality and passionate love for all things action packed.
Plus he invented the word:
[HEADING=1]VIEWTIFUL[/HEADING]
What other Hero can claim that sort of goodness?!
I love both of these guys with an equal fervor specifically for the reasons that while they may be heroes they just simply know how to have fun doing their job, which entails delivering Ass Kickings by the hundreds on scales ranging from AWESOME to STYLIN' ALL ON YA BALLS!

Uncanny. Yet, understandable.
