Indeed it is, but someone resurrected it, so I participated.

Besides, it gave me another chance to mention Kyriani!

In my short experience i can say, for now that my favourite character are Vangerdahast Khelben Blackstaff, a druidess cleric of Chauntea who appears in the Avatar's Trilogy and Adon and mi most hated ones are Cyric and Kelemvore.

Hmm... With the pitiful selection of novels I've read I'm not really qualified to answer - so I'll return after I've read, say, ten more of them and comment again, but for now I'll say that:

Liriel and Zz'Pzora the dragon will probably stay two of my favourite characters, and I really liked Thorn too. And that whilst I really identified with him and found him interesting in the Dark Elf trilogy I really think Drizzt has outlived the depths of his character, and now annoys me (*ducks*).

Favs:

Cyric (he's a bad arse)
Malik of Cyric (a resourceful guy)
Ivan Bouldershoulder (makes me laugh)
Harkle Harpel (see above)
Danilo Thann (dido)
Torm of the Knights of Myth Drannor(he's a womanizer, and he's funny)
Szass Tam (Lich power!)
Jarlaxle (even more charisma than Danilo, but scarier)
Pharaun Mizzrym (sly, likable drow)
Aliiza (a beautiful, sex-crazed half-demon? you got my attention)
Sefaris of the Darkmoon (from Black Bouquet)


Least favs:

Arlyn Moonblade (she has no depth. all she has is an all-powerful sword and her job) (Her interactions with Danilo are great, but without him, she's got nothing.)

Clacker (an R.A. "Braincramp" if I ever saw one)

Caddlery Bonaduce (He's whiny, he struggles with all this existential garbage, yet he is a superpowerul preist and if he ever gets it trouble he has his trusty yo-yo's (lame) to beat you up with. He just annoys me.)

Narm Tamarith (speaking of annoying, I actually started routing for this guy at first, but when he turned out to be a damsel in distress that had to brought back to life every two minutes, that ended fast)

Obould "Many-Arrows" (orcs aren't villans, they're the help of villans)

I can't think of anymore I don't like right now, but it will come to me.

"Even before he first walked the world as a mortal, Cyric had the will to resist the random call of Fate and make his own fortune. As his newborn soul stood before the goddesses, he cast a light upon Tymora's silver coin, blinding them to his presence. The deities never saw the coin fall, never settled their wager on Cyric's destiny. Thus was he born into the world without any fate save the one he himself could forge." -- from the Cyrinishad

God bless her, but I would have to put on my list of most hated characters that stupid naga with arms that Jean Rabe put in Red Magic. She was the head of the RPGA and didn't know nagas don't have arms?
I mean no offence, this just always bothered me.

As he appeared in the Avatar Trilogy Cyric was one of my most hated characters, but in Prince of Lies and the Crucible he became one of my favorites, not unlike a FR Loki.

Khelbun, Danilo Thann, and Liriel are all favorites of mine as well.

Favorite and most hated? Hmm...

Favorites are:

Cyric (I can't help but love him. He's awesome. I am a devoted Cyricist.)
Artemis Entreri (Super cool. Nuff' said.)
Lolth (Well, she tries to kill Drizzt...)
Fzoul Chembryl (Hate Bane, but his Chosen is still cool.)
Malik (Great comic relief, and he helped my beloved Cyric.)
Quenthel Baenre (Uh...no comment.)
Kelemvor Lyonsbane (Um. Uh. How did THIS get here?)

Most hated:

Mystra (Please, in the name of Cyric, KILL HER! I hate her SO BAD.)
Drizzt (RAS, why have you killed Drizzt? He was cool at first.)
Adon (Pathetic little piece of @#$%. No words can describe this idiot.)
Ruha (Hated her from the moment I read about her.)
All of Mystra's Chosen (They should die with their goddess. They're worthless and used as poor plot devices.)
Wulfgar (OMG. Hate so bad.)

Well, that about sums up my opinions. Uh...yeah.

Devoted Follower of Cyric, the One and All.

~Death to all who oppose Cyric. Bow down before his supreme power, and yield to him the blood of those that do not believe in his supremacy. Fear and obey those in authority, but slay those that are weak, of good persuasion, or false prophets. Bring death to those that oppose Cyric's church or make peace, order, and laws, for only Cyric is the true authority.~

3) The Seven Sisters (too well I mean loose, too overloaded and too over here and there )
4) Mailk (Seraph of Lies that deserve a execution from Shade Enclave, too bad for him.)

We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

What an interesting reason to hate someone. I don't know that I've ever heard of this reason for hating somebody. Are there any other spells that drive you to hate the characters who cast them?

The only time I've hated someone for their use of spells was in game, when my character was the target . . . and in that case I hate every single Zhent, Red Wizard, and Host Tower lackey that ever learned fireball or disintegrate . . . but since this is the Novel section of the site . . .

Had he not been established as very cool in other books, I would have hated Gromph Baenre for this LACK of ability to properly utilize his spells for someone that has survived so long . . . but I am going to view book V of the WOTSQ as an anomaly, since I loved him before that, especially in book one of that series and in the Liriel books.

For Manshoon, I hate him to the core, just hate his stasis clones and I had to make several attempts to kill him when he appears.

Ahhh, more names to be added to the hit list.
Hated ones.
22) kaerlic and donnia in the Hunter blade trilogy (too sneaky and too stealthy)
23) King Azoun IV (yeah, he deserve to die. Too focused on expanding Cormyr to that of an Empire.)

All time Favored ones.
20) Steel Regent Alusair Obarskyr (A good steward of Cormyr, admirable for her leadership.)

Azoun was too expansionist? Interesting . . . I know there was always the Arabel leaving/coming back into the kingdom thing going on . . . but that wasn't just on Azoun's watch . . . about the only expansionist thing I can think of was annexing Tilverton . . . or maybe leaving the garrison in Scardale, but given that every other nation in the region did the same you can hardly blame him for leaving a Cormyrean contingent.

You must have a great imagination becuase you seem to find character traits in some of these characters I never saw myself.

Shadovar, in the future, you might want to be a little more careful with your word choices. One of the terms you use (in the 5:06 post) is considered rather derogatory, and could be offensive to a number of people. If I may, I'd like to ask you to edit your post.

I mean no offense, of course -- I'm just trying to keep there from being any problems.

Wooly Rupert,

I want to thank you for taking the time to address this issue with Shadovar. As someone who posts here quite often and loves this community, you saw something that worried you and decided to address it. With some many people apathetic towards things these days especially online, it's refreshing to see such care and concern. I'm sure ALAUNDO will join me in expressing gratitude as soon as he sees these posts.

Shadovar,

I always really want to express my appreciation to you. You showed a great deal of class in responding to WR. Rather than argue or get defensive, you simply understood his concern and made changes to your posts. WR is not a moderator. And thus, you didn't have to make these changes he requested, but you did so any way. To me, that shows a great deal of maturity. I'm sure ALAUNDO appreciates you conducting yourself this way.

Hats off to both of you.

Kelemvor, especially as a deity. His information makes no sense for the duties he is supposed to perform.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Well met

Indeed, Sirius I was not around at the time to see the post (far too early in the day for me ) but thanks to Wooly and Shadovar for resolving the matter.

Now, back to discussing these favorite and most hated novel characters
