In every RPG, I'll always find myself having a favourite character. It comes naturally, really. With a bit of discrimination, a bit of favorism, a character that I find interesting and deem as a favourite can come quite easily. Every veteran would notice that in all RPGs there are be uniform personalites and roles fitted into the storyline. For the two extreme cases of RPGs 1) The solo Hero, 2) The heroes, both are enjoyable in their own ways when you seek quest-line understanding or character chemistry. Anyway, here's a chart of my favourite characters out of a few of my favorite RPGs;

Final Fantasy 6 -- Locke Cole
The treasure hunter. A relatively good fighter if you know how to use him well and give him the correct wepons. He can be considered one of the main characters of this anti-main character game since you get to use him so often. Because much of his past is not really revealed and only just assumed, it makes interesting guessing and relation.

Mario RPG -- Mallow
The 'tadpole' from Frogfucious' pad that's actually not a tadpole. His an extremely cute cloud-like, fluffy creature and acts childishly and innocently most of the time. But under that childish impression is a courageous one with hidden philosophical themes underlying his words. In my experience, his not very good in battle, but has a cool skill that can read the minds of enemies your fighting.

Chrono Trigger -- Frog
A kinght from Guardian Castle in 600 A.D., turned into a frog by Magus after a battle in the past where his best friend had died. A true blue knight's story with the essence of brotherhood, honour and sacrifice in it. Okay... I guess Frog isn't really that good in battle, but his stats are the most well-rounded and he does the best double and triple techs. A moral behind this - A good man (or frog) fights best along side with his comardes.

Tales of Phantasia -- Chester
The best friend of the main character that hides his vengence of the devestaed village behind an easy-going front. Not much of his story is revealed since a bulk of the time was spent in the past where he was not taken back. Still, his cool. An awesome and indisposable figher as well, being an archer, he blasts arrows at enemies for critical damages at long range.

Legend of Zelda Games -- Link
Well... pretty obvious here. Zelda games leave imprints not through dialouge, storyline but rather through the aftermath satisfaction. Well, its an RPG I enjoy, but in a different way from the rest.

On a side note, there are several other solo-hero type RPGs and I guess I won't need to mention my favorites for those. Sometimes when your presented with only one true character, the need for comparison and selection defeats itself.
