David Copperfield; square I
I just loved that character.
And Daneel Olivaw; I was a big Asimov fan.

Because I love murder mystery detective stories my favourite is Sherlock Holmes living at the famous 221B Baker street flat with Watson until the latter got married. I also like so much the Victorian age setting of the stories.

Gosh! It is so hard to pick just one. Its narrowed down now to:
- John Carter of Mars
- Tarzan of the Apes
- Sherlock Holmes
- Podkayne of Mars
- Gandalf
- Gollum
- Bilbo Baggins
- R. Daneel Olivaw
- Nathan Brazil
- Rex the Robot (The Runaway Robot)
So many of them influenced my life.
But the greatest influence would have to have been Valentine Michael Smith (Stranger in a Strange Land). He made me question the very foundations of my faith. Sci-fi is such a great genre, because it leads to so much questioning. Questioning leads to self awareness. Self awareness leads to freedom.

OMG! Yes! I read that a few years ago and understood immediately how that book could have spawned entire religious movements.

Daystar;
The character Karl in Michael Moorcock's Behold the Man was rather thought provoking also in the same kind of way.

Yes, I liked that one too. It's been a while since I've read it.
Heh heh... Karl died for our sins...

I always liked Atticus Finch, Samwise Gamgee, Cyrano DeBergerac, Kira Argon-something or another (from We The Living), One of the main rabbits- I can't remember his name- from Watership Down...
All I can think of right now...
