QOTD: and Return of the son of the neighbor of the orthadontists grandnephew of the Open Thread

So I mentioned a few posts back that there were some characters I'd love to meet. So who are your favorite and or least favorite characters? Anyone you just love to hate? Anyone who tempts you to change your legal name to theirs?

And of course, any questions you want to ask?

I'd love to have met and had a child with Master Robinton. I'd like to have had a few drinks with Mike Callahan. And I'd enjoy having the chance to go through Bene Gesserit training, assuming they'd've taken me which I doubt.

I think Benedict of Amber would be interesting to meet from a safe distance. Same with Elric of Melnibone (only for him the safe distance would be MUCH farther away).

Hannibal Lecter would be one of my "favorite" evil people, and one of the most real fictional villians IMO.

And I'm most-likely in the minority here but I hate Honor Harrington. The plotlines are too neatly fitted and the character comes across as flat. With different interests, the exact same character would convert very easily to a megalomaniacal religious fanatic determined to take care of everyone "for their own good."

You may be a minority, but you're certainly not alone. I completely agree regarding HH.

If Weber weren't a Major Pro, I'd write her off as a transgendered Mary Sue. Actually, I'm not sure that getting seven-figure advances disqualifies him from this.
