Who is your favourite character from stories you've written?

[LaRascasse]

(preferably) and why?

 

[sr71plt]

Clint Folsom (from the "Death in . . ." series, only a few of which are posted to Literotica). I think he's the only unabashed power bottom I've seen written in the gay detective genre. With him being that way, I can have him approach life and his job directly and honestly (and don't have to do any two-stepping to get to the sex).

I also like the high-end male escort service prostitute that I had running through my "Man's Man" stories and other stories. (Like in "Men in Tuxedos" and "Beautiful Bondage" as well as others here on Lit.) Again, there was no "will he?/won't he?" buildup needed. Straightforward and honest and throwing in some philosophy on the side. I can concentrate more on the plotline and less on the sex scene setups. I'd have to check to see what name I gave him--and may have changed the name from time to time. Brian sometimes. These are told in first person; the name isn't prominently mentioned.

For female characters, it would be Ada from the "Wolf Creek" series, based on a real woman who did do much of this, did know the real people behind the rather thinly disguised famous characters (and was mistress to and a link between some of them), and who did fit right into the settings of most of the chapters (tripping off to Asia was off script, though). I pick that character, because I knew and admired her, and her story hadn't been--and won't more directly be--told.

Since several of mine are autobiographical, I suppose I could say "me", but...

 

[TxRad]

The list is just too long. I love most all of my characters for one reason or another. Otherwise, why would i write them?

 

[Ironiclaconic]

(preferably) and why?

Hmm. Sarah or Tasha from Might Have Been (Tasha is also in Hope in Hell). Sarah because she is my perfect woman, and seems to write her own dialogue. Tasha because she is a walking plot bunny while still being an incredible challenge to write.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Jake McAllister in Horner Springs Institute, Ch. 2. He's a highly intelligent, well-educated cowboy who was raised in a traditional, conservative environment but who is now trying desperately to keep up with things . . . and it's not easy.

 

[lovecraft68]

Megan from SWB.

She was a totally fucked up character who had been given up by her mother, sexually abused in a foster home, and eventually spent ten years addicted to drugs and alcohol.

In the present she was sober, but still plagued with that with melancholy moods from memories of her past and had the unconsciously selfish behavior of a former addict also plagued by guilt.

She was hard to write in the sense she was female and I have never been an addict, but easy because she was a dark soul.

Also hard because once I let myself sink into that darkness it took a personal toll on me. I became "Megan" to a degree and it was hard to pull back/

I nailed it so well I have had tons of comments that I must have been an addict because there was no way anyone who wasn't could have hit it so well.

Pays to be a dark soul I guess.

 

[HandsInTheDark]

As someone else said, I like all my characters, except the ones that were written to be hated on, so how do you choose?

But I'd probably go with Marie, in Becoming Marie... She was smart, funny, emotional, and, I think, a well written submissive without any doormat characteristics. (But I do like Sito, from that same story...)

And it's hard for me not to love Keiko, in the Toymaker/Angelwatch series. I put her through so much, and she was so very, very hard to write, both in her fall and redemption. Windy got all the best lines, but when I skim over Angelwatch I still whisper "attagirl" to Keiko at the end.

But Marie still wins. I wonder what she's up to...

 

[Darkniciad]

Pretty much an impossibility, but a few do stand out.

Thakkor and Alicia ( from Merchant Princess, but also many others ) have always been favorites. They're that perfect couple who are utterly devoted to each other and can overcome anything that's thrown at them.

Then there's Mindblind and Christi. ( Blackhawk Hall and others ) They've got the same thing going for them, but they're a completely different sort. Their passion is raw and relentless, and they're not the least bit ashamed to let anyone see it, or to share it.

Arilee from Blackhawk Hall. There's something about her that always appealed to me. She was supposed to be nothing more than a pair of eyes to introduce Mind and Christi in the story, and ended up taking the thing over. She's the shy, innocent girl next door who has a tremendous wellspring of love to share.

Xantina from the Magic of the Wood series. Love the mixture of innocent playfulness and ancient wisdom that she represents.

Danica ( Danica, SOTM, Arts Ardane, etc. ) of course. She's gorgeous, devoted to her friends, refuses to stand by and watch any sort of injustice -- and she has the power to do something about it. Sweet, flirty, lusty, or romantic at just the right times, it's impossible not to smile when I'm wrapped up in the story and writing her.

There are a few others I'm really fond of ( Valerie from "Jerk" as RR, Felicia from "Souvenir" as RR, Jim from "Ghost of a Chance" as Les.. ) but those stand out a little more to me. That's why they've been given so much more "screen time"

John Taline-Midnight Somewhere

http://www.literotica.com/s/midnight-somewhere

My one and only attempt at a detective story. Just loved the character idea I came up with. He was fun to write.

 

[HeyAll]

Meredith from the different slut mom stories. She's featured in a new mother/son story out next Friday.

It's a fun character because she's a classy mature women who owns a lingerie shop, and she talks mothers into incest. Nothing sleazy, she's genuine about it.

 

[RoyceConnors]

I really like writing Garreth MacLeod, followed closely by Grayson MacDonald in Blood of the Clans. Great men with dark sides to them. The female parts are good too, but these two are my main focus.

 

[PennLady]

Tough one. I liked Lani and Dom from my story "Nothing Gets Through." My favorite might be Jura Griet, who was a character in a were trilogy I did that is currently not up.

But I like them all, for various reasons.

I forgot the why, at least on these examples. Lani and Dom just had good chemistry, I thought. He had trust issues and she wasn't just going to let that slide. She had some flaws, too, but she was willing to stand up for herself and even end the relationship when she thought she was on the losing end.

Jura was kind of a smart ass, which hid some insecurity, and I enjoyed writing her as she came into her own. She wasn't intimidated, at least not outwardly, by people or situations. Her biggest flaw was her temper; she was easy to goad into making mistakes, at least at first, and she knew it and wanted to change that.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

There are two...

John Abernathy - There is a whole series devoted to him in my non-erotic writings. He's a hero while all the while not trying to be one. He loves and is loved, yet only has a close circle of friends. In several of the stories he is married, yet in others he is not. He is an anomaly in the space time continuum.

Max Jones Jr. - He is the main character in Walker Brigade: Book of Incidents. He is a leader of men. He is honorable and smart. He loves and is loved.

Most of my male characters in other works are based off these two gentlemen.

 

[StrangeLife]

As a newbie I don't have that many to choose from. But I guess I tend to say like TxRad, that I like the ones I write at any given time - why else would I write them?

However if I must pick...


Male

Dave Connor from the the Soap On A Rope series.

Reasons: He can see something funny in most situations - even a total disaster. He's a strong believer in the noble principle of "don't get mad - get even." He is very secure in his own masculinity. He is unwavering in his loyalty and love for his pretty but very bitchy redhead wife, yet he never misses an opportunity to bullshit her and make her go ballistic. He would be fun to hang with in real life, and he's fun to write.



Female

Sue Phelps from Did She Cheat? I think.

Reason: She's probably the most over-the-top and outrageous character I've written so far, and I have no idea what went on in my mind that day. I wasn't stoned or anything - honest!
Actually I was half expecting the story to get rejected but luckily Ms. Laurel seem to have recognised the tongue-in-cheek aspect.


Alternatively I might be inclined to choose Gina from Our Deepest Secrets - not as crazy but not exactly average either.

 

[SecondCircle]

Like others, I really like a lot of my characters because I spent a lot of time bonding with them and watching them grow.

The most unique characters that stand out are the ones I like best.

Tonya was a badass sorta biker babe placed in a serene suburban neighborhood. Got as many rumors about her as she does talents. She has a lot of fans in the Mature category.

Sylvie would have to rank as my favorite so far though. Sorta my own "Living Dead Girl". As beautiful and mysterious as she is ravenous and unsettling. And her only piece of dialogue was a single line spoken in French, only translated by those who were moved enough to translate it.

It's the sort of "iconic" type character that I love writing sometimes. The ones who dominate a role and stay in our memories as a central theme of a story.

 

[xelliebabex]

I had to think about this and I guess that my favorites or the ones i enjoyed writing were not the main characters from my stories but one that were more in the supporting cast.

In Mastering Bella chapter 9/10 (mainly but through out the series) Kurt White, laconic sarcastic and funny. An excellent wing-man for the lead.

In the Venturer series Jarrau, again for the humor I tried to give him in his interactions with the main characters.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

I have a couple of favorites, one is a spooky looking EMO who's a blend of Howdy Doody and Pippy Longstockings and Carmen Sternwood (the murderous sister in THE BIG SLEEP).

But my best are on the drawing-board. Watching SWAN LAKE I was impressed with how well the male and female principals share an ideal sort of equality while preserving their distinct skills and talents. So I wanna write characters who perform as competent males and females.

 

[soflabbwlvr]

As if to prove the power of recency effect, I have to say that Dana Alvarado, a character in the story I am currently writing is near the top of my personal power rankings. She's young, inexperienced, and in a situation way over her head with no clothes, no allies and no tools other than her wits. I hope she survives.

At the top is probably Victoria Wellingford. She's the greedy, ambitious, ruthless protagonist of Trophy Wife, who surprises everyone when she takes one for the team.

 

[oggbashan]

Possibly Hazel, from my story 'Not A Woman' in http://www.literotica.com/s/flawed-red-silk-ch-10.

I think she is a rounded character who develops and changes through the story.

Of jeanne_d_artois stories it should be the ghost Martha in the Laundry Tales, but I have a soft spot for Fag-Ash Lil in http://www.literotica.com/s/unatit

 

[Athalia]

Of, the characters in the stories on this site, I guess my favorite would be Emily, from the Hot Tub series. She's everything I wished I was when I was that age. And she's the only character I've found interesting enough to follow through a long series of stories.

The best piece of character description, though, could possibly Selene in the story Endymion. I wouldn't want to hang out with her, though. Goddesses can be temperamental bitches.

I also created a character named Olivia, for a series of stories on another site called The Glass Balls. I'm rather fond of her, too. And there's a male character in that series named Dom, who lived in medieval Italy, that I enjoyed creating.

 

[drteetho]

As of right now I'd have to say my lead female character in my Kellie & Brad series. I like how Kellie Galenchuk (nee Ferguson) has changed from meek and unsure to a confident woman who knows what she wants.

But I'm really intrigued by Erin Callaghan, the "goth princess" from Final Breath. She has, I think, an interesting mix of strength and vulnerability. I see a lot of potential and I'm really interested to see where she goes from here once I'm able to get back into fleshing out the storyline further.

 

[horrorotica]

My most fav character I've created in a story I have on Lit is Red in 'Zorko's Curiosities'. I really found him such a likeable guy in the way he looked at life and accepted his circumstances. He had a good sense of humour too, and had a good sense of who he was as a person.

 

[R. Richard]

Justin Imperiale, from my Second Chance series.

I lied. It has to be Yesenia from Desperate Measures: The Baller. Smart, tough, fiery, and willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. I liked her so much I wrote a sequel so could get her HEA. She deserved it.
