Prominent protagonist that walks down the red carpet, always keeping us entertain and saving the world be it coincidentally or intentionally. These post was devoted to the most prominent/well-known characters that attracted our attention and becoming an Icon in the gaming world.
Protagonists step out to the stage.
Mushroom P0wa!!
Mario. (Super Mario (insert series here) )
Over popularize, but heck who doesn't know about this nasty red-hat midget that kicks every mushroom's and turtle's butt. Jumping, flying, getting big, and eventually turning into a paper plane. Mario, out of the question is one of the most prominent gaming icon that lives until today.
Nintendo has come a long way. But it is time to change, Mario games has thousands of expansion/installments/sequels/continuation as far as I can remember...
Be it 2D or CG, my looks and hair still rock the world.
Cloud Strife. ( Final Fantasy 7)
Hair that defies gravity, wielding a superbly oversize broadsword like a twig is his signature. He is one of the most famous character in the Final Fantasy world. He indeed, deserves the mark of a hero. Cloud have been through alot of hard time as a hero, learning yourself is a clone of someone insane and having your memories fake could easily break anyone. But not him. Living up to his name(Strife), he lives through all kind of hellish moment. No, Tidus would not be a main cause he doesn't exit anymore.
and he said, "Contacts are for the weak."
Gordon Freeman. ( Half-Life Series.)
The Scientist-commando that save the world from alien invasion and an alien nation at the same time. Has always been a silent protagonist, a man with few words. The only thing I want to see in the game is to see him talking. Let me tell you a secret, IMO, he is the most coolest geek around the planet.
".................", smiles and hurls the sword to the spotlight.
Link. (Zelda series)
Let's not all of us forget this Chibi(little guy). Apart from saving the world with his sword and shield. Same as Gordon, he is also a silent protagonist but rich in facial expression. At least, unlike Gordon you'll get to see his face. It's been too long I can remember when Zelda first came, SNES (Super Nitendo) i think Please correct me If i am wrong.
Why do I fight?Why do I keep fighting? Why? To seek for an answer... this is why I keep fighting.
Ryu. (StreetFighter)
Hadou-ken! Shoryu-ken! Who doesn't know a man with a white "Gi" roaming through the world of StreetFighter. He has always been portrayed as the strongest character in StreetFigther. A pure martial artist that lives for nothing other than achieving his goal. No, I will never Guile is the protagonist of SF series!!! and for the fans ...Broom head doesn't deserve a mark of a hero.
Never!!!
Why don't you try having an insane brother that planned to take over the world. and having your ass chased by a walking WMD robot all around the world.
Solid Snake. (Metal Gear Solid Series)
The clone of a powerful soldier (check), saving the world....Twice (double check), do not possess any superpowers(check). Come on, who doesn't heard of the name, Snake. Master of Stealth, Master of CQC(close quarters combat) and not to mention the funny moment.
Argh! You are stealing my shots! (camera)
Marcus Fenix.(Gears Of War series)
Seriously, I want to know how his hair looks like. Other than that, he makes an aspiring leader, showing no signs of fear, hesitant, or mercy when going on a war against an alien race. He is your typical everyday hero that bleeds for himself and helping his teammates along the way. Another additional info? His Bender from Futurama FTW!!!
Oh my god, now I just noticed that I've been wearing the same top and hot pants for the whole series while I am tomb-raiding.
Lara Croft (Tomb Raider Series)
I almost miss this one. Yes, the chick that raids a dungeon/tombs/caves while dual wielding the handguns. Dealing with monsters at least twice her size most of the time she can still pack a punch. I don't believe there is anyone in the world that can back flip, side flip, or any directional flip while firing a deagle. Not to mention , she is an anti-thesis of the stereotypical reverse-proportion theory. (bigger breast = more stupid)
Today? I am wearing Nike all the time. LoL. I have a life time supply of shoes. I run alot you know.
Sonic The Hedgehog (Sonic Series).
Blue, kick ass, slice almost everything into half, running in a speed of sound, and having one hell good of an attitude, what can you ask for more on a hero. You have to admit Sonic looks cool when he is in speedy mode. Dodging obstacles, dashing into the heart of danger itself. Speed is the Factor!
Can the Resident Evil movie start focusing on me instead of Alice?
Jill Valentine.(RE series)
Dead or not dead? That is the question. Anyhow, running around with a Nemesis spooking out of an unexpected game scene is not something everyone can handle. And not to mention, the combination of a blue tube plus zombieapocalypse-settings is the perfect harmony.
Yes. These are all the famous hero I've known. Be it famous/infamous or not famous xD, heroes were always determined by players and will always live through inside our heart by the example they set during their journey.
Oh yeah and Merry X'mas !!!
