Who are the top 5 fictional characters you would like to meet?

[Waldo]

1. Obi Wan Kenobi - Lots of replies for Yoda, I'm not sure I'd communicate well with a little green dude that is super old. Obi Wan has many of the sage-like teacher aspects of Yoda, whist being a lot more down to earth and approachable.

2. Jeffrey Lebowski - It'd be cool to roll with the dude.

3. Q - He is a god and knows he's a god, thus he's a dick because he can be.

4. President Camacho - He is the embodiment of "fuck yeah". Spending time with him would be epic.

5. Indinana Jones - Be cool to do some traveling with him.

(4) Number Six (from the "I Am Number Four" series)

Buffy- of course.

Inara from Firefly- Intelligent, gentle but capable, much tougher than she looks.

Modesty Blaise- I loved this series! Modesty's great but doesn't come off as a Mary Sue.

Julie Sims Mackay from Eric Flint's 1632 series- I like a woman who knows what to do with a gun.

Dean Winchester- need you ask why?

[Book]

Jilly Coppercorn (from Charles DeLint's stories)

Geordie Riddell (from Charles DeLint's stories)

Willow Rosenberg (from Buffy)

Hikaru Sulu

Kaylee (from Firefly)

I see the Lisbeth entry. I don't think I could handle that much scorn, though I love her to death. I took this list as people I would love to talk to and spend time with, rather than 'heroes', though they all embody some of that, too.

[Guest discomFITure]

1. The Doctor

2. Morgaine (from "The Mists of Avalon" by Marion Zimmer Bradley)

3. Sam Winchester

4. Daenerys Targaryen (from "The Song of Ice and Fire" series by G. R. R. Martin)

5. Tyrion Lanister (from "The Song of Ice and Fire" series by G. R. R. Martin)

[Crooked]

Hermione Granger

Katniss Eberdeen

Lisbeth Salander

Alanna (Tamora Pierce)

Torn on the fifth. Want wise older male, but can't decide between Atticus Finch, Dumbledore or Gandalf. Interesting how my fictional heroes are from YA books.

Lisbeth Salander, Rhaegar Targaryen, Four (Divergent), Count of Monte Cristo, Katniss

[Arashi]

Batman - seriously, do you need a reason? He's the goddamn Batman!

Indiana Jones - because I am a History student and the man is history personified

Sam Carter - seriously, any woman who blows up a sun and not only lives to tell the tale but it's humble enough to not brag about it is worth knowing

Helen Magnus - over a century working with abnormal beings, Nikola Tesla, Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper and the Invisible Man? Oh the stories she could tell!

Thor - not the god, the alien from Stargate SG-1. And if you ever watched G-1 you really don't need to ask why.
