Favorite Game Supporting Cast Members

[RavynousHunter]

I'm sure, at one point or another, we've all made mental (sometimes physical) lists of our favorite leads in games.  The Avatar, Hisao Nakai, Steve?.  But, what about the people behind the people?  The guys, and gals, who keep the story interesting, but never quite seem to make it into the limelight.  Well, why not give these game characters some of the rep they deserve?  List off your favorite supporting game characters!  You can list off any number, but the only stipulation is that you've got to give some sort of reasoning.  Doesn't have to be more than a sentence, just what you like about them, and why they're your favorite.

Here's mine!


Yuuko (Katawa Shoujo)
I've got a soft spot for shy, bespectacled girls.  Also helps that she's absolutely adorable.


Yurel (Ultima VII: Part Two [Silver Seed expansion])
Just...look at that face.  How could you ever harm a face like that?

I'll likely add more, just keep drawin a blank, right now.  XD

[Saturn500]

Hype Dog (BlazBlue)
Because he's* just that awesome.

*I'm going to assume he's male.

[The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist]

Jeremus, in Mount and Blade.

He loves science and rationality, he keeps your troops alive, and he's just plain awesome.

[Sleepy]

Hunter the Cheetah, from Spyro. He's so adorably loyal and gullible, but also a good friend.

[Vypernight]

HK- 47 from SW Knights of the Old Republic.  An assassin droid who really loves his job!

Black Whirlwind from Jade Empire.  Thought the best way to help to men fighting over one woman was to cut her in half.  Too bad they didn't share his vision.

Lydia from Skyrim.  She's good-looking, loyal, and eveyr able to kick a lot of ***.

Jacob from Mass Effect 2.  You can insult him and yell at him and he doesn't even blink.  He's open and honest with you and loyal to the end.  Also we both hated our fathers, but he got to do something about it.  I felt like I was living through him.

[Askold]

Hmmmm... Many of the companions in Fallout series, Baldur's gate series and Mass effect series could be on my list. But I think the companions are "main cast" rather than just supporting characters. In fact I'm gonna disgualify the Big bad villains as well, so that leaves...



Ravel Puzzlewell


She is an important and powerful character in Planescape torment (And many of the games made by the same people have a similar character, many are in fact Ravel in a disguise/reincarnation/something.) She is feared by many and the stories about her describe her as an insane and cruel monster. She is that but when you learn more about her you find out that she is much more complex character. A tragic figure that has often tried to help others and suffered for it. Even her most cruelest acts have been misguided attempts to help or pursue love.

In fact if she had managed to "free" the Lady of pain she would have probably destroyed Sigil and the results would have caused a massive power struggle as all powers and factions would have fought over the city of gates. The war would have reached the other plains as well.

Harold

The old ghoul from the Fallout series is a likeable character. Again someone who has seen much suffering in his life but still tries to help others, despite his growing cynicisms and setbacks.

Hmm... I should probably add some more to this list later.
