Character Development Homework 3 Favourite Characters

This task was a bit difficult for me I don't have a huge range of favourite characters. There's a lot that I'm fond of but not many that really stand out, while I was thinking about my favourites it also occurred to me that a lot of them have similar traits.

Dick Grayson (Nightwing)

Dick Grayson has always been my favourite character, he has a strong sense of justice. He's cocky, quick thinking and at some point brash, but it helps him come to life. He is arguable one of the most relatable heroes ever created. He has no powers, he relys on his wit and his strong bond with friends and family. Often described as Batman lite as he is never as dark but is almost as good as Batman. He uses his humour to ease tension where he can but is not afraid to stand up for anything that he or his friends believe in, this makes him one of the most reliable of all characters I know.

Guan Yu (Romance of the Three Kingdoms)

Guan Yu has only really become a favourite of mine recently. He has become a Chinese Saint of War, though he was a real person during the Han Dynasty where he was a general. Most information and character basis for him now comes from the book 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. He is a strong and loyal general. Often portrayed as one of if not the strongest of fighters, until his untimely demise comes. He is often looked to for leadership during battle as well as not letting anyone allies fall. A very skilled man with a weapon and a glorious beard to match. One of his greatest feats was charging through an army just to get at the leader, and living afterwards.

Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo (Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo)

Bobobo is arguable a character that has influenced me the most. He is very out there, for lack of a better term. While remaining the key figure of good in his story, he is prone to going off course. He lacks a boundary often resorting to throwing friends as attacks instead of doing it himself. People still look to him for what to do but it makes sense in his wacky land. He uses humour as a weapon, all of it seemingly pulled out of thin air just for the sake of it being funny. Ultimately it still leads him to his goal while he still somehow has friends that put up with him. I always found him to break the norm of a lot of Anime that became popular over here, in some ways he openly parodies and mocks them. I found it to him to be a breath of fresh air, in an arguably stale style.
