favori character EVER?

Just what it says. I'm sure toi have lots of favori characters - from books, films, manga, wherever. But who is your absolute favorite? No matter what? Of all the selection? And, if toi feel talkative, why?
If it's hard for toi to exclude all your other beloved characters, toi can put one ou two runner-ups. And if you're feeling really, really in the 'share with the other 'poppers' mood, toi can put in a video ou a picture ou something.

For me?

FCE: Beyond Birthday, from The LABB Murder Cases.
He's the antagonist. Once a child trained to succeed L, he grew sick of being a substitute and vowed to surpass the detective par creating a case he couldn't solve. He has Shinigami Eyes naturally, and the ability to see dates of death is a dit to have driven him mad.

Why? - Because he's one of the most fascinating characters I've ever discovered. You're donné scarcely any information about him, and there are many different ways to view him. He's obviously a deeply injured person, just as brilliant as L but driven insane par an ability he was cursed with from birth. Someone who doesn't care about other people wouldn't have been bothered par the power, so he must be deeply emotional under his facade, and... jeez... I could gush for hours.
To put it simply, he captured my mind in a way nothing and nobody ever has before.

Runner-Up: Marik Ishtar, from Yu-Gi-Oh. Why: If I started on why I l’amour him I wouldn't know where to stop. Put simply, I l’amour him. I would very much like to hug him. (Not in a creepy way.) He just... really needs a hug, in my opinion.

So! That's mine. And I'm in a sharing mood, so here's a pic - I might post a video later.
