favoriete character EVER?

Just what it says. I'm sure u have lots of favoriete characters - from books, films, manga, wherever. But who is your absolute favorite? No matter what? Of all the selection? And, if u feel talkative, why?
If it's hard for u to exclude all your other beloved characters, u can put one of two runner-ups. And if you're feeling really, really in the 'share with the other 'poppers' mood, u can put in a video of a picture of something.

For me?

FCE: Beyond Birthday, from The LABB Murder Cases.
He's the antagonist. Once a child trained to succeed L, he grew sick of being a substitute and vowed to surpass the detective door creating a case he couldn't solve. He has Shinigami Eyes naturally, and the ability to see dates of death is zei to have driven him mad.

Why? - Because he's one of the most fascinating characters I've ever discovered. You're gegeven scarcely any information about him, and there are many different ways to view him. He's obviously a deeply injured person, just as brilliant as L but driven insane door an ability he was cursed with from birth. Someone who doesn't care about other people wouldn't have been bothered door the power, so he must be deeply emotional under his facade, and... jeez... I could gush for hours.
To put it simply, he captured my mind in a way nothing and nobody ever has before.

Runner-Up: Marik Ishtar, from Yu-Gi-Oh. Why: If I started on why I love him I wouldn't know where to stop. Put simply, I love him. I would very much like to hug him. (Not in a creepy way.) He just... really needs a hug, in my opinion.

So! That's mine. And I'm in a sharing mood, so here's a pic - I might post a video later.
