Honestly I don't think that any of those characters are particularly influential. When I think of influential characters in gaming I think of Snake, Master Chief, Mario, Lara Croft.....those characters are influential. There are a few others, but the list of actually influential characters is a pretty short one. There are definitely more influential games than there are influential characters.

I can't think of a new character this gen that could actually be called influential, aside from perhaps Commander Shepard, but even that's iffy to say at the current point in time.

The only other noteworthy character on this list is John Marston, who was absolutely brilliant, but can't be called influential at this point either.
