Notes: I AM a Guido fan. I begin with my favorites and work my way down, in most cases. Here, I forgot. Lila is actually a very favorite, but then, I like ALL of these guys, there really isn't a LEAST favorite.
Games
Jinx (Jak & Daxter Trilogy), Torn (Jak & Daxter Trilogy), Sig (Jak & Daxter Trilogy), Ganondorf (Zelda), Nabooru (Zelda), Auron (Final Fantasy), Sarge (Conkers Bad Fur Day), Bob Brownie (Harvest Moon), Zack (Harvest Moon N64), Prof. Carter (Harvest Moon AWL), Flora (Harvest Moon AWL), Konoko (Oni), Dorn (Baldur's Gate), Ysuran (Baldur's Gate), the Bard (The Bard's Tale)
Notes: AWL ruins my mental image of Carter. I imagine him tall and thick with deep eyes and wavy black hair. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Speaking of Beholders... Baldur's gate.
Anime, Pseudo Anime & Manga
Batou (Ghost in the Shell), Motoko (Ghost in the Shell), Goku (Dragonball Z), Java the Caveman (Martin Mystery), Tien (Dragonball Z), Yamcha (Dragonball Z), Kazuma Kuwabara (YuYu Hakusho), Jet Black (Cowboy BeBop), "Twilight" Sazuka (Outlaw Star), Aisha Clanclan (Outlaw Star), Shigure (Fruits Basket), Borgoff Markus (Vampire Hunter D, Bloodlust), Ed (Cowboy BeBop), Raditz (Dragonball Z), Higher Dragon (Dragonball Z), Ryuk (Death Note), Piccolo (Dragonball Z), Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)
Notes: I like the original Japanese versions of ALL of these. I prefer Tien over Goku, and I think One Piece was named such because everyone on board hopes they get to their destination in one piece. Luffy is really an awful captain.
Movies
Hector Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean), Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean), Victor Krum (Harry Potter, Goblet of Fire)
Notes: There aren't many here because I'm still thinking on it.
Writing and Artistic Influences
The book "House of Leaves" is a total mind fk that leaves you pondering even the most simplistic of things and questioning how and why things can be possible. Stephen King really gets my juices flowing; he writes in a realistic and mildly over-the-top fashion. John Buscema, R.I.P., makes my heart pound with his breathtaking panels and gorgeous landscapes. H.P. Lovecraft leaves me breathless as do: Hideyuki Kikuchi, Akira Toriyama, Eiichiro Oda, Peter Chung, Jim Lee, Jimmy Cummings (My cousin! Not the one who invented a famous cartoon, our Jimmy actually illustrates for Marvel. He got me started with this darned graphite obsession o' mine!), Bob McLeod, Jack Kirby, Mike Mignola, Frank Miller and many, many, MANY others!
Why I Write
I'm getting sick of all of those girls who place themselves in the role of one of the characters, then warps their personality to fit their own little, devious thoughts. If you want to do that, THEN CREATE A FANON CHARACTER! Oy! -thwacks head on desk- Y'see, this is why I have headaches! I also write, well, because I love to. I draw more, but hey, you gotta have a distraction once in a while. Really, I just dabble, so you know. . .
Mary Sue
Nothing wrong with them! Well, there is something wrong with them, but if that's what you're aiming for . . . CREATE YOUR OWN! Don't turn an canon character into your own little robo-Sue. If you're going to degrade someone, might as well start from scratch! That's what I always do!_!
Finally, thanks for reading: And may the Schwartz be with you.
