question

[wendy]

Which fictional character do you most identify yourself with? It can be a movie persona, tv character, or from any book. I know we've had this in relation to WOT but WOT is banned from this! :D I'm very curious :D

[Beppie]

Beatrice from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. ;)

[wendy]

LOL I can definately see the resemblence in character Beppie. :cool:


EDIT: I couldn't think who I would choose but I just remembered someone I related to perfectly in every possible way. Fuschia from Mervyn Peakes Gormenghast trilogy.

[WFFS]

Beatrice huh? I always related to Benedick myself :p

Actually, I think Althalus from The Redemption of Althalus by David Eddings :)

[wendy]

Beatrice huh? I always related to Benedick myself


LOL *wonders if that was a pick-up line*

[Johan]

Gormenghast? 'tis a truly great book. They did a televised version a couple o years ago on bbc2, splendid it was, gormenghast looked just right, all weird and twisted.

By the way what is your avatar?

[talyn rahl]

Bryan from half baked :)
Yeeeaaahhh!

[Lews Therin]

Stevo from SLC Punk!.

I totally relate to him.

[Anita_Blake]

Well, that's just a super-tough question, wendy. It's not fair. I think i'm half-schizo... so picking one personality is kinda tough.... i'll try...

probably Anita Blake :) from Laurrell K. Hamilton's vampire hunter books.

but i empathize a lot with Ophelia from Hamlet. And Hamlet as well. :)

[Theoban]

DI John Rebus from Ian Rankin's books

We're the same - melodrama, depression, being a loner and heavy drinking.

[Malcor Sylverwood]

Homer J Simpson.

Everyone is stupid but me.

:D

yeah, i'd have to go with Anita Blake too - small, bitchy and hsd no problems causing pain to others . altho i'm not as prudish.

also Drusilla from BtVS - cos she's not easily understood and doesn't play well with others. and she bites.

[wendy]

Johan my avatar is a guy called Monkey Magic from an old japanese tv show. Imagine anime but with live people :D its so cool. I saw the BBC version of Gormenghast and liked it to, steerpike was just how I imagined him and so was Fuschia... and Flay and the whole crew, the acting was supurb, but somehow it wasn't even in the same leagues of the books. not as clever or something, but it was cool to watch.

[The Tourist]

I saw that Gormenghast series too. I quite enjoyed it, although I haven't read the book. It had quite a sad ending. It seems a lot like Star Wars, the way Steerpike starts off as slave, rises to the power and becomes evil (and gets burnt and has a mask), while in love with a princess who sadly dies. He also kills his master. Maybe George Lucas based Anakin Skywalker on Steerpike.

Anyways, the character I most identify with is Richard from the book of "the Beach" by Alex Garland. All the things he thinks of throughout the book are the sort of things I think of a lot, and he has a strong desire for travel and adventure like me :)

[wendy]

oooh I saw the movie of The Beach, that was awesome, like Lord of the flies for grown ups :eek:

[QuirkyTemplate]

>thinks this joke might be overused somewhat<

...

>doesn't care<

MOLECULO! THE MOLECULAR MAAAAN!!!

[Ulk]

Hey, are you Moleculos?

and to answer the question, i'd be Sickboy from trainspotting. except replace heroin w/ beer and not quite so hardcore drugs. lol.

[Demandred]

Hmmm, good question. Maybe Hannibal 'the Cannibal' Lector? I'll just let you all 'stew' on that one for awhile...

[LaughingTurtle]

Well maybe not who I am most like, but definitely who i aspire to be.... ULK! ~cleverly overlooks the fact that the person must be fictional~

[supuradam]

ever see the movie "office space"? i'm the main guy... peter. with the black hair. after his hypnosis though. that's definately me.

[LaughingTurtle]

heh, kinda pictured you more as the rap lov'n white guy adam...... j/k :D

that would be cool...get the hot chic as well.

[Travis]

The Terminator

[archely]

damn, sd stole mine.

Definitely after hypnosis.....complete with paisley shirts...

[supuradam]

hahaha :p i got him first. but he really is me. we even have the same great.... i mean, we both... wait... we both rock :dozey:

[Ulk]

[LaughingTurtle]

now we only gotta find a begby, spud, tommy and diane, move to scotland, get some intravenous drugs and we'd be set.

[frecklefreak]

i'm very much like anne( with an 'e' ) of green gables. prince edwards island that is.

and also jo from little women.

both characters are reflections of myself.

same bookwormy quirkiness..

[Aragorn]

The fictional character most like me is James Bond, definitely.

[WFFS]

My name is Gorn.
Ara-gorn.

~cracks up laughing~

oi! nothing wrong with frank begby :)
actually, i just picked up 'porno' - trainspotting's sequel. just came out. quite good so far.

[wendy]

LOL Demandred... *backs away slowly*

and I dunno, maybe Ulk IS fictional.. I mean he lives in a world inhabited by a lego army where he is self crowned king of beer...

and ooh anne (with an e) and Jo!!!! I love those gals, how much joy they bought to my ostracised pre-teen little self, knowing that I wasn't the only one like that :D

And um I think Begbie was scary :eek:

[Ulk]

porno eh? i needs a good book to read! might pick it up, although i should prolly reread trainspotting.... bah! i'll just watch the movie. lol.

:p @ wendy. i'm 100% real!... well, except for the breast implants. but thats it!

[Johan]

I liked begbie, and found him amusing.

[Solmyre]

? I'm confused. But yea, Peter from office space... great charracter. I can relate to him. Also the muslim dude in office space, i can relate to him too.. lol. Especially in the opening scene with the cars.....lol!

[wendy]

LOL I love when they are bashing the copier machine accompanied by the emotional music and they have to hold one of them back... that had me falling off the couch literally in stiches.

[Anita_Blake]

oh zephi, if you ever come to canada, we have to meet! we'd have so much fun!

*notes that drusilla rocks!*

[Elin]

Hmm, I have a surprisingly hard time trying to think of a character that I'm like... anyone have a suggestion? :D

Maybe I shouldn't have asked that...

I've been watching anime just now. "Gravitation" is the sweetest thing I've ever seen... ooohhhhh. If those guys don't get each other in the end, I'm going to send evil, threatening letters to whomever made it... :mad:

[wendy]

I've got one for you Elin. Eliza Bennett from Pride and Prejudice, smart and horrifically sensible, yet not without imagination or humour.

[Harun]

Jay, from the View Askew movies, at least when I'm feeling foul mouthed. I even sort of resemble him when I wear a ski cap.

[mindphone]

me too, in 'porno' he's back - its based ten years after trainspotting - he's just gotten out of prison and is more psychotic then ever!

in stiches, yes. EVERY TIME I see it!!! and yes, the use of the soundtrack in that movie absolutely makes the movie. Office Space without that soundtrack = good. with that soundtrack = brilliant. :D

[Buckweet]

I'd have to say that assistant Taj guy from Van Wylder :p

I've been very goofy and very fustrated lately :D

[Cypher]

Shaggy from scooby doo, lazy, eats a lot, and gets scared easily... errrr, leave out the gets scared easily.

[Elin]

Thanks, Wendy. :) "Horrifically sensible", huh... well, maybe it fits me. And I did like Pride and Prejudice a lot, I must've read it two or three times.

Now to find Mr Darcy... :D

[wendy]

mmm Mr Darcy :) let me know if he has a brother...

[Zephfi]

*notes that drusilla rocks!*

totally!! altho i can't see myself ever travelling overseas *is quite content to sit and wait for the world to come to her*

*hee hee* lazy is good :)

we would TOTALLY kick butt tho!! :p

[Beppie]

I used to really love Anne too, but the L. M. Montgomery character that I used to relate to even more is Emily Byrd Starr. While Beatrice remains the fictional character that I would be, if I had to make a list of the top ten, Emily would definitely be in there.

Oh, and btw, I once read an online article about how L. M. Montgomery was the tool of Satan. :rolleyes:

[wendy]

Ahh Emily!! I love her so much too. I think those books are better than the Anne books but they were never made into a mini-series thus the reason they get less publicity :) It was very romantic, the chemistry between thall the characters just jumped out of the page, and i don't think I've ever read a more beautiful story of friendship (though I can barely rememeber it, I was 16 when I read it!)

and the tool of satan, gosh. I don't see it.

[Elin]

Yeah, I like the Emily books as well... (though it was ages since I read them). I love how you really see how Emily grows up - the style is childish in the beginning, but then she grows more mature...

[supuradam]

i hear ya, nf... "damn it feels good to be a gangsta..." i think that should be the #2 greatest song ever :D

[LaughingTurtle]

Ghetto boys (peeps who sing "Damn it feels good...") also sing "Still" which another good song for destroying stuff :D

[quiktitanium]

This is a little late but being new here i have special priority or something like that. I would have to be Patrick Bateman from American Psycho.

[epiph]

scary! i dunno about who i am actually like, but i wish i were a female version of hiro protagonist from snow crash.

[Alexia]

Hmmm... I'm lost... anyone have any ideas for me?
*wink*

[Alexia]

*grins at mp*
Hmmm... now that's an idea...
I'll think about it...












How 'bout NO! hehehe
*wink*

[mindphone]

*kicks alexia in her winking-eye*

[Travis]

ewwww

[Alexia]

*glares at mp and pokes him in his eye*
Please don't do that... it isn't becoming...

[mindphone]

fuck becoming!

*kicks winking eye again just to make sure it is dead*

:p

[Tatum]

I've been told I remind people of Monica on Friends sometimes...though I'm not a clean freak. :D

[SuperDoodleMan]

Jim Carrey in The Mask

Besides personality, I'd love to be able to do all that crap he does, pulling guns out of nowhere, etc.

[Rosanna-Sedi]

I can't think of one person I most identify with. I would love to be Lara Croft. for the same reasons as Kodai would loke to be James bond

OOOH JAMES BOND *drool*
