History CharacterGush / VideoGames

* This troper is completely all heels over ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'''s [[ChineseGirl Litchi Faye Ling]]. She's not exactly top tier powerful character, but in a world full of psychos, monsters, weirdos, jerks... She remained normal and the most genuinely kind person in the setting and helps people in need. It also helps that she is drop dead gorgeous and a 5-star hottie. [[FanNickname Boobie Lady]] sure is wonderful!

* Dr. Watts from ''VideoGame/ToTheMoon''. Sure he's a JerkAss sometimes, but that's what makes him a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. The hilarious things he says, the ways he acts, and the fierce way he tries to prevent [[spoiler: Dr. Rosalyne from completely altering Johnny's memories so that he doesn't quite "remember" River because he'd believe it would make him miserable]] is very adorable and proves that he has a heart of gold. And after the credits, when it appears that he's either [[spoiler: A. addicted to painkillers, B. dying or even BOTH,]] I felt kind of sorry for him!

** Niles. On the surface, he's got lots of genuinely funny, innuendo-heavy lines during his moments of being TheTease and a DeadpanSnarker, but he's got tons of HiddenDepths underneath his untrustworthy {{Troll}} surface. Grateful to Leo for rescuing him from his DespairEventHorizon, he's turned from [[DarkAndTroubledPast a thief]] to an ''extremely'' [[UndyingLoyalty loyal retainer]]. Even when he picks on a character that he thinks "doesn't know true suffering" out of jealousy, like Camilla in their supports, he's quick to backpedal and apologize when he realizes that he's wrong, and that they've suffered just as well. He reprimands his daughter Nina for her thieving behavior, and when she calls him out on the hypocrisy, he explains that he doesn't want there even being a ''chance'' for her to go through the same things he went through, because unlike him, she has other options. He's got a definite HiddenHeartOfGold, like when he recruits some of his old contacts to find Mozu's TragicKeepsake from her ruined village. Plus, there's the fact that he manages to be a [[TheArcher badass archer]] [[HandicappedBadass without having binocular vision]].

* [[VideoGame/StarFox Peppy Hare]] deserves special mention. Out of all of Fox's allies, he is definitely the most useful. He was part of the original Star Fox crew (James [=McCloud=], Peppy, and [[EvilFormerFriend Pigma Dengar]]) which is a pretty cool backstory. He also [[TheMentor gives surprisingly helpful advice]] unlike the [[AnnoyingVideoGameHelper annoying]] [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Navi]] and points out [[AttackItsWeakPoint important weak spots of bosses]]. He also comments on how Fox [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments "reminds him of his father"]]. I bet [[MeaningfulName he's called]] Peppy because he always [[FridgeBrilliance cheers up the Star Fox team]]. Do I even need to mention his [[MemeticMutation awesome]] [[MemeticMutation quotes]]? DoABarrelRoll!

* Captain Olimar from the ''{{VideoGame/Pikmin}}'' series. He's an adorable, compassionate, and honest family man who, despite being put through the absolute wringer over the course of the games, will do whatever it takes to return home and see his loved ones again. Whether he's [[VideoGame/Pikmin2001 getting stranded on a distant planet]] [[VideoGame/Pikmin4 with the ever-present threat of death by oxygen on his shoulders]], [[VideoGame/Pikmin2 returning to said planet to pay off his company's debt]], [[VideoGame/Pikmin3 or being captured by a sentient slime creature]], one thing is for certain; he '''''will''''' see his family again, or die trying. All by fighting hazards and enemies ten times his size with nothing but his [[AwesomenessByAnalysis powers of observation]] and [[BadassArmy an army of sentient plant creatures who stand by him until the very end.]]. Dude deserves a vacation, preferably one that doesn't have him crash-land somewhere.

** '''''Shao Kahn.''''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Shao. Mother. Fucking. Kahn.]] ''The'' villain of the whole franchise, bar none, no matter ''who'' upstages him. His design makes {{Stripperific}} genuinely badass, he has a [[DropTheHammer massive sledgehammer that can deal heavy damage]], a cunning, ruthless personality who will ''never stop,'' '''''[[{{Determinator}} no matter who the hell is against him]]''''', to take over all realms as his, and he is by far and away, one of the single most difficult final bosses in arcade gaming. He haunted thousands of childhoods, he is '''[[SNKBoss that hard of a bastard]]'''. Chances are, he practically had a rule over ''your life'' as he did Outworld. And let's not forget his taunts. [[YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive Those soul-crippling taunts.]] '''"You will never win!"'''

** From the same game, the King of Hyrule. Ever wonder why the only ruler of Hyrule you see is Princess Zelda? It's because the King was so badass they had to build the UsefulNotes/GameCube just to contain him. Not that Zelda herself was a slouch in the badass department there either. The final battle with Ganondorf in ''Wind Waker'' is Zelda at her most awesome, bar none.

** I, Tropers/{{shonengirl}}, haven't been on this page before, but I probably will more in the future. But for now I just want to get off my chest that oh my god the VideoGame/FateGrandOrder version of Dr. Henry Jekyll is ''adorable'' and this may be one of the most intense sensations of {{Moe}} I’ve ever felt. Yes, this will be long. What's frustrating is that the game and the Fate series itself has tons of stuff that interests me but also [[{{Stripperiffic}} tons of]] [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter stuff that]] makes me [[MindScrew groan]] (or just straight-up [[AgeInappropriateDress makes me go “nope!”]]) so I can't even be able to write much about him and there's a criminal lack of content for him and Hyde for a character who was an EnsembleDarkhorse in his first appearance in the series (well there is a lot of content for him since I know Japanese... just not enough, dammit) out there, so I'm just here to vent how much I love this character here instead. I stumbled across this character by complete accident but something led me to look more into him, and my god my heart melted. I've always had a soft spot for [[WeaknessTurnsHerOn vulnerable]], [[TheWoobie woobie]] {{Bishounen}} characters, and my discovery also hit at the right time because I was basically only working on DarthWiki/AltTalia, and ''Alt-talia'' is a series where such a character like him is basically impossible. Sure, he looks pretty "normal" compared to the rest of the Servants, but that might be part of what makes him appealing to me. His voice is adorable (and coincidentally he has the same voice actor as my first crush ever, [[VideoGame/InazumaEleven Fubuki Shirou]], who is [[SplitPersonality a very similar character]]; Creator/MamoruMiyano was channeling Atsuya as he was playing Hyde). I also can’t be the only one whose heart breaks when he transforms, just hearing how his voice changes violently. Combined with those intelligent yet big, puppy-like TaremeEyes, that [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold light strawberry-blond hair]], those [[{{Meganekko}} glasses]], his simple design that somehow enhances all of the above to make him look even more angelic and just exudes "kindly onii-san" energy, his adorable battle sprite... it all just plays with my heartstrings masterfully so that I had the intense urge to squeeze his shivering, thin, tense body and snuggle against his waistcoat and just tell him everything will be alright, though letting him [[SecurityCling squeeze me for comfort]] as he cries into me is just as good. He's smart, he's responsible, and he's supposed to be fighting ''for'' me if I was playing the game, but yet he seems so helpless and I want to protect him. Combining elements from [[Literature/StrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde the original novel]] which I was motivated to look up because of him, I can just imagine the amount of potential he could have as a character if he weren't confined to a mobile game plot with tons of characters and crappy stats. I straight-up want to play a game where ''he's'' my Saber, my SignatureMon. When he's fighting with Hyde especially, my god my heart can only take so much. He's so sweet and just a generally nice guy, but just seeing how his mental state seems to get worse with each milestone... Aaaaahhh... the idea of this poor, kindhearted man who wouldn’t hurt a soul, [[BreakTheCutie constantly tortured by having to hold back the manifestation of all his inner evil]]... It almost makes me want to give this game [[FixFic the Alt-talia treatment]] just to ship Gudako x Jekyll so Gudako can sweep him off his feet for me (though [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy Mordred]] doing so is also adorable. If she's anything like the actual Mordred, it would also be heartwarming that she can finally be someone's KnightInShiningArmor after being rejected as a bastard through no fault of her own). Though from what I've heard having Jekyll as my SignatureMon from the start alongside Mash might not work that well in-story and I don't want to remove his level in the game. Also admittedly I kind of like Hyde too, even though he’s a manifestation of evil, a sociopath, and the reason why Henry is suffering, and I'm usually not the type to fall for sexy villains - my type is more pure, meek, sweet [[TheWoobie Woobies]], like, well, Henry here. I guess it’s his [[ComedicSociopathy almost hilarious amounts of ham and arrogance]] (which sadly hasn't seemed to resonate with western fans as, say, Blackbeard, despite the fact that IMO Hyde acts like a hedonistic psycho [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers Prussia]], a major hit both in Japan and the west), the fact that his existence is a major factor for why I like Henry, or that he genuinely looks [[TroubledButCute kind of cute]], and admittedly fanart has also probably influenced that too (and the fact that I’m just a pervert, and considering a lot of other media based on the novel and the novel itself, I can put good money on Eddie being a total man-whore). Though there is a complaint I have about him; the fact that he fights with generic knives instead of CaneFu or a SwordCane. Even the NES game got that one! It would have looked so cool! Also I want to see Hyde bonk monsters on the head with a cane, it would be hilarious! (And give the generic knives to [[WTHCostumingDepartment Jack the Ripper]]! Though I'd say that's the least of her design's issues!)

* I am completely, utterly, terribly, grossly ASTONISHED that The Boss from VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3 isn't on here yet (well, now she is). Gracious, the entire VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3 page is dedicated to her awesomeness. What [[GamerChick female MGS fan]] is not [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer a lesbian for The Boss]]? She's our dream lover - [[LoverAndBeloved older]], [[Creator/TakarazukaRevue protective but sensitive]], and I'll be she could %$@& our brains out. Um... this is [[StalkerWithACrush getting scary]], isn't it?

* How is it possible that Tal'Set Fireseed from ''VideoGame/{{Turok}}'' hasn't been mentioned here!? He is a {{Badass Native}}, {{Mr Fanservice}}, ''and'' a {{One Man Army}} rolled into one package in a game where he's trying to stop [[BigBad the Campaigner]] from taking over the universe using the [[MacGuffin Chronoscepter,]] a superweapon that could destroy the fabric of space! Tal'Set's bravery is what earns my respect for him, as ''not even death can stop him from completing his goals''! As time goes on, Tal'Set gains [[CoolGuns magnificent weaponry]] on his journey.

** Miku from ''VideoGame/FatalFrame1''. A mansion full of horrifying, violent ghosts isn't going to stop her from finding her big brother. Not only does she find him (even though he [[spoiler: chooses to stay with Kirie instead]]), but she also frees all of the trapped spirits in the mansion and gets rid of the Malice turning them all insane.
** The [[VideoGame/FatalFrameIICrimsonButterfly second installment]] brings us Mio, who is along much the same lines as Miku. We are also introdoced to her twin sister Mayu, who manages to be disturbing as hell despite being a protagonist damsel in distress. And of course, there's [[AxCrazy Sae]].

* I don't care if she's a monkey, [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry Candy Kong]] was enough to turn this troper into a one time [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furrie]] just for her. Just look at those [[HourglassHottie insane curves]], topped off by those luscious lips, tight bikini top, incredibly short shorts, long, tan legs, tempting blonde hair, and an infinitely sexy look on her face that [[JustForPun made me go bananas]] for this parody of a MsFanservice!

*** [[{{Tropers/DanganStar}} Another troper]] chiming in here. Ever since I first saw him, he's been my favorite character. And that was WAY before I got interested in the franchise! I love foxes and cute things so an [[Adorkable adorkable]] fox is sort of a dream come true. Plus, he's super fluffy, especially in [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2 the second movie]]! The extra tail adds to the fluff. He also brings me comfort. Not only because of the things mentioned previously, but [[DiagnosedByTheAudience he's really easy to read as autistic]] and, as an autistic person, it makes me happy. TL;DR: Tails is a cute, fluffy and possibly autistic fox, what more can you want?
