Favorite Characters in Games
Simple question. Who are your favorite characters in games? It doesn't have to be the hero or anything, just a character you like.
NOTE: AS OF APRIL 16TH, 2012, CHARACTERS LISTED CAN NOT BE FROM ANY RARE GAME.
For me, one of those characters is Henry White from Yesterday. At first glance, he's a kind, intelligent young man dedicated to helping the homeless, along with his good friend, Sam Cooper.
That is, until you find out more about him:
Spoiler: (highlight to view)
The fact that he never helped vagrants, instead he murdered them and burned their bodies, using the group he was a member of, the children of Don Quixote, as an excuse to make them trust him. The fact that he fooled Sam Cooper, a man with a very abusive childhood and no other friends, into thinking he was a friend so that he could use him to kill his rival, Ralph Martinson, and tried to kill Sam at the end knowing he had no use for him now that he was immortal. The way he felt pleasure, power, from causing pain to others, and how he would go to the length of chopping off his very own limbs to satisfy his desire to cause pain.
And the fact that he is perfectly able to make people think he's a charitable, nice guy makes him even more threatening, because it makes him seem like the last guy you would expect to
Spoiler: (highlight to view)
keep an immortal hostage in a torture chamber so that he could kill him again and again in different ways each time, and then stage a whole investigation to make his amnesiac hostage think he was hired by Henry to investigate murders (That Henry caused) simply so that he could remember the recipe for the potion that made him immortal.
