| I have no favorite character - I love the Realms and all people that call this place their home. |

While Laeral, Giogi Wyvernspur, and Maskar Wands are among my favorites, does anyone really need to ask who my favorite character truly is?

Don't tell me you don't find intelligent women sexy. I know you too well!

I'm guessing it'd be Tsarra now!
I'm kidding . . .

Oh, I got a real hoot out of seeing Maskar in Blackstaff. Especially when you gave special attention to his collection of magical items. Good stuff!

The late Osco Salibuck, right?
And doesn't admitting that someone else is your fave character disqualify you from being Kyriani's biggest fan?  |

| It changes with my moods. When I'm feeling evil Gromph Baenre, when I am feeling adventuresome Araevin Teshurr, when I am feeling slick Jack Ravenwild, and lastly when I am feeling like just jumping into a new subject and reading all I can on it I feel Khelben and Elminster really fit the mood. All the Realms characters really are my favorites though. :) |

Tough question with so many great chars...depending on my mood as well.
It would either be a battle between Giogi Wyvernspur and Danilo Thann (fun mood), Khelben and Halaster ("the world is full of fools"-mood) or Erevis Cale and Elaith Craulnober ("leave me alone"-mood with a "letīs get this done"-edge).
But with that said and my tongue held lest I rant endlesly about other faves...Iīm pretty sure my favourite char would be Manshoon or Semmemmon were there a decent book about either (not the few page manglings there are). |

| Myrmeen Lhal, hands down. I haven't played in the Realms in a bit, but I loved the character from the books in the mid 90s...what the heck were they... the Harpers maybe? God, it has been a long time! Anyway, she's badass. |

I remember that guy (though not his name) and actually...I didn't care for him. He seemed very "tacked on" to me. |

Artemis Entreri. I had read other fantasy novels by other authors depicting similar characters-same style (except they were not evil, and Entreri moves away from evil at a point) and I always was into the lone no-magic-using freelancer warrior.
I relate to Entreri too in that he had to live amidst poverty and danger from his early life. (But i'm not an assasin of course ) |

I guess I just have an irresistable affinity for explosions. And, being sentimental, he reminded me of a fond childhood memory named Nakor, who also blew stuff up with no grace whatsoever. |

| whew, this is my first time posting to this forum in a long time...good to be back though...my favorite characters are always the unusual ones...for example, I always liked Thibbledorf Pwent and the Harpells from the Drizzt books. I always like characters that are original yet find a way to fit into the world that they are presented in. |

Yes, I've always been fond of Harkle Harpell, because no one can say his name ten times real fast. |

What is your favorite character in the Realms?
