This is a thread for the characters that have managed to affix themselves to your brain by being too funny, bad-ass or just plain annoying to forget, despite only being at most tangentially relevant to the plot.

For example, in World of Warcraft, (Bear with me here) there's an orc called Cro Threadstrong in Shattrath City who keeps screaming bloody murder at this old fruit vendor lady because her applecart is in front of his shop.

No, seriously. He says that.

If the old lady had responded with "Then we shall sell fruit in the shade", it would've been golden.

Anyhow, what about you? Tell me about your most memorable minor character.

AND DON'T JUST COME HERE AND POST A CHARACTER WITHOUT SAYING WHAT MAKES THEM SO MEMORABLE, OR I WILL MAKE IDLE THREATS OF PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AT YOU.

I'm a big fan of Leonardo da Vinci in Assassin's Creed II.

He makes some of the best weapons/devices in the game and is in pivotal in the main plot. Plus, he's the best dressed man in Italy.

Steven Heck from Alpha Protocol

Pivotal, huh? Wouldn't that make him a... major character?

Argh, when did I become such a pedantic douche?

Another fellow I like is a halfling rogue called Tomi Undergallows from Neverwinter Nights. After being resurrected:

"There was this bright light, and my mother was there. Then it was like "YOINK! NOT YET STUPID!" and then I was back here. Weird, huh?"

I find your response shallow and pedantic.

Yes, shallow AND pedantic.

That being said, Leonardo wasn't a major character. He just made random inventions that helped Ezio advance in the story. Otherwise, he didn't do too much.

I vote Tingle too!

Ok, I did not read any posts so as not to interfere with my raw memory bank.

My list is:

Erica from Catherine. Love that bitch.
Navi from OoT
The referee from Mike Tyson's punch out.
Sims and Plumbobs. Though one can argue Sims are the main characters.
Moogles and Chocobos. Tonberrys and Behemoths. Cids from Final Fantasy.
Many from the Yakuza series who I can't remember their names atm. (mind is fuzzy from finals)

He also makes several moves on our hero Ezio in the game. That player  XD
