Nice thread OP 
Victor Darkcloud, he's an assassin in a fantasy world and part of an assassin's guild where he's known by his codename 'Darkcloud' sounds unoriginal but he never knew his family name so just adopted his codename. He wields two short swords that grant him the power to turns into a dark cloud (get it) of smoke. The main plot is that he and a close friend (also an assassin) find themselves as targets of their own guild.
He's in his early twenties and is progression through the story is based on the developement of the relationship between him and his (female) friend, and also the changes of his attitude and his outlook of the world and his role in it as they discover a deep rooted conspiracy, of which they play a key part. Cliche fantasy stuff really but it's the best i got lol.

Its very hard to talk about one of your own characters you like cause, well... you made it and all that. But I guess the title goes to Nagia Ramuth, who is very hard to write about due to the fact that her low fighting power and strong will means shes hard to "keep alive" in a belivable fashion (she is bad at knowing when to run for one thing) But when it works its a joy to write bout her ^^
Possibly Asclepius. In my WIP, the world is united under one ruler, who has labs on the north and south poles. These labs are meant to create a vaccine for death, as said ruler would like to keep his power forevermore. (And no, it's not for selfish reasons like an "evil government" sort of thing. Though the main characters believe that is the case.) So, to properly test each new iteration of the vaccine, they have volunteers birth children for testing. The volunteers of course don't know what happens to the children. They are raised to certain ages, shot with a vaccine, and murdered. Should the vaccine work, they will not die. Of course, no death cure is found as of yet. Most test children die, and the ones who live are tested on again, though some "cures" have side-effects that alter the child's DNA, physical or mental traits, etc.
Enter Asclepius. Working for the labs in the north pole as a doctor who administers the vaccine to the children, he never knew how the whole thing went down. He was given a needle, sent into the room, and taken out after giving the kid a shot. Eventually he overhears other "doctors" talking about how their victims acted before death, for analysis of some kind. (Or maybe they're just sick.) Hearing this, he then regrets volunteering his first born son to the experiments. By the time Asclepius manages to save his child from being killed, his son is already altered from a previous test: The boy's nerve cells do not work correctly, as they no longer register pain. Now, he flees the labs, and consequentially his wife, who he could not take with him. He decides to name his son Monos, after the Greek god of pain, and he renames himself Asclepius, after the Greek god of medicine and healing, as he vows to only heal people with his medicinal knowledge.
After reaching a small town in Greenland, he drops Monos off to foster parents, as he wouldn't want his son to be running from such a government with him. Asclepius then travels to Canada and re-studies medicine there, to make sure he wasn't lied to for the experiments when he learned under the "exclusive" university located in the south pole's lab.

Character i made long, long ago... was set in a different world that i cant remember the name of. Evil character :
Never had a name, people just referred to him as a legend, a myth of ancient times. Nick-Named 'The Dark Flame' for his use of black fire (a magic, dark and twisted through the centuries). All that stood against him, fell to rubble.
"From the depths of hell he came
Wielding all, fire and flame
Heroes came and Heroes fell
For none could withstand the power...
...Of the Dark Flame"
- Wrote that little poem for the character years ago. Thought it had a nice little rhyme to it. He is nothing particularly new.

Wow,I love this thread, it makes me want to write again.
Hmmm, my favourite character is probably my first and most fleshed out, really, IDK if you could consider him Mary-Sue as he is "God", and has done some big things over his last lifetime, but it's not like he has the power of a normal human being.
Anyway, his name is Nevra (Although you could consider his second name to be Nevra Gahyter) and he is a "God" in one of my fantasy worlds, were God are really just humans who personify something, and are meant to Guard other all races of this world. He himself personified Guilt, Sin and Judgment, but he was cursed down by the other Gods to forever to live in the realm of the mortals due to the his involvement in there business (the Gods are really just corrupt with the powers blessed upon them) and whenever he dies, his soul must travel to another body and he must start a new life again, of course he remembers who he is and all the important things but normally forgets about any specific lives. He once founded the city of Gahyter (Meaning long, due to the fact the cities main feature is a tower where the monarchy live) which become pretty successful since. He has only had 3 families through the hundreds of years he has to suffer living on the Mortal Plane. He normally likes to take a big part in history ever once in a while, I mean, if you had knowledge more then another other creature in life would you not abuse it a little?
His default look is 6'2-3", brown hair, red brown eyes, normally quite fit, and also scars follow him where ever he goes as they were burned into him as a mark of shame when the Gods throw him out of the afterlife.

Thank you but he ends up working as a janitor in a police station with a few mental and physical problems due to previous drug use. My account was just taking over apparently by a friend because someone edited out my post. Wonderful.Satis said:
My favorite character I've made was a fighter, Hern, for a DnD game a few years back. He came from a country that was quite famous for its mercenaries, and left it and his family name because he didn't want to be doomed to being a redshirt. His entire motivation was to become a legend, and he did a damn good job of it.
One of the early fights in his career was this big honking demonic lion, twice his size, minimum. He sticks his sword in the dirt and gorram wrestles it to the ground, nearly dying in the process, because he wanted to make sure the villagers told the story about Hern's titanic strength, not the teamwork of a group of adventurers.

My idea for my "best character" tends to change as I age, but my current favorite character goes by the name of Alise Murain. I originally wrote her for a fanfiction, but I think she's really starting to come into her own as a character. See, the best job title you could give her would be mercenary, but she's not even that. She only does whatever jobs or errends she's interested in or pays the most, which don't come all that often for her. Alise is independent,restless, and a bit of a shameless flirt, but she never means anything behind what she says. She is polite to the person's face, but is secretly very critical. She's also manipulative, but in a nice way, which means that she doesn't try to push people to do things that would definitely lead to regret later. She also doesn't mind to change her plan if things aren't going her way.
Alise is a strong believer of "the past is in the past", so despite her seemingly open nature, she tends to shut others out when it comes to it. Plus she loves to play with her hair, like mindlessly tugging on her bangs and the looooong french braid she has. Overall she's a good person, but she keeps a lot inside. Despite that, she keeps a cool head and a light sarcasm.
And for those who care, here's a doodle I did featuring what she looks like:
Mar. Being the son of Grand Secretariat of Militaristic Action gives him a disdain from the war into which he is born, to the point where he realizes that peace will be inevitable should his Empire win. Once the continent is completely taken over, Mar will destroy the concept of the individual, phase out conflict, reigning in a utopia. As this isn't in the best interests of the Emperor, he assassinates him, leading to a meeting with the rebels. Shortly after the Revolution, he publicly hangs his mother due to his shame of her being a whore. (This is important later on lol). So Mar begins to establish his Empire as general anarchy, exemplifying why the utopia he describes is in reach. Mar gets captured by rebels, however, and uses his moles to kill off several beloved characters (and send one speeding over the moral event horizon). Eventually, he, realizing he will lose if he doesn't, travels back in time (makes sense in context of the story), and becomes one of the leading members of the rebels. As the rebels dissolve the Empire, the protagonist's admiration for Mar's future self leads to Mar being crowned leader, and Mar does end up establishing his utopia, for better or worse.
Of course, I'm never going to write it.
