Specifically this Link

Arthur Morgan is one of the best characters in anything, but along with him, I loved Dutch, John, Abigail, Jack, Uncle, Lenny, Hosea, Micah, and Rains Falls.

Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus.

Clive, Joshua, Cid, Jill, Torgal, Barnabas, Methos, Byron, Elwin, Martha, Gav, Blackthorne, Charon, Goetz, and Otto.

Again, Literally every character.

Mario is the goat protagonists, and is the main character in my favorite game series. This is my favorite version of Mario, but also my favorite vesion of Bowser, who I also consider the best Villian in gaming. Rozalina is fantastic, and I also love the Luma in Mario's hat.
