Some of the most memorable things in entertainment aren't the stories themselves. It's the characters those stories are built around. The ones that outlast their source material, that get referenced decades later, that define entire franchises just by existing. Long after I am finished with a story, I remember the characters more than what the story was about.
This section covers characters worth talking about in depth. Game protagonists, TV antiheroes, movie villains, comic book icons. If a character has left a mark on pop culture or on me in general, they belong here. Not just a summary of who they are, but what makes them work, why they resonate, and what they mean to the franchises and universes they inhabit.
The list grows as more get added. Check back often.
