I got the inspiration for this off some psycho site where people put up which animated TV characters they adore, or in their case, love to death.
Anyway, put your embarrassment aside and list the characters you like the most. Putting Nintendo characters would help since not all of us have seen Tenchi Muyo.
It would also help if you put your reasons why you like the characters. But being as I don't have time right now, I'll just list my favorites.
Yoshi
All Koopas (namely Kooper)
Fara Phoenix
Falco Lombardi
Jonathan Jones (the shark boss from SMRPG)
Wario
Prince Froggy (from Tetris Attack)
Bowser
Lemmy Koopa, Ludwig Koopa
Ruto (from Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
That windmill guy in Ocarina of Time, because he's a psycho
Those are all the characters I can think of at the moment.
Peaceful penguins, demented dragons and growling griffins, oh my.
