Gandalf has always been at the top of my list too. And who could forget Gollum!? I always thought it was funny that his soul purpose in life was to get the Ring for himself, yet in the end he was really the reason it was destroyed.
If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. ~Lord Byron
Heroes Lilian and Karen out of the View from the Mirror Quarteppt. Lilian is such an unexpected hero he had no fighting skills and is quite cowardly at first. While Karen she is complete oppisite and at first can't stand him. Gandalf definetly. I love the bit in Rohan where he goes "You never take an old man stick away." When the most powerful weapon is the staff. Dr Who, come on you gotta love Dr Who the way he explains things at about thirty miles an hour and can talk to the most evil villians so cheekily ect.
Villians Gollum. Yggur and Rulke both these guys are misunderstood souls. Valantine out of Mortal Engines ect
We get off to the rhythm of the trigger and destruction. Fallujah to New Orleans with impunity to kill. We are the hidden fist of the free market.
We are the ink, we are the quill.

Heroes:
Cian, (Key-an) A vampire from Nora Robert's Morigan's Cross. Kendrick, a ghost from Lynn Kirland's Dreams of Stardust Achilles from Troy
Villains:
Lilith, a vampire from Nora Robert's Morigan's Cross. Gollum from JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Vallis from Dean Koontz's Velocity Lord Voldemort from JK Rowling's Harry Potter Snape from JK Rowling's Harry Potter Gorgreal from Sara Douglass's The Wayfarer Redemption
Hero---Somebody early on said !Xabbu from Tad William's Otherland, and I second that to the umteenth degree. Go !Xabbu! Also Alanna, from Tamora Pierce's Alanna series. And Valentine from Orson Card's Ender series.
Villain---Achilles, from Orson Scott Card's Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon and Shadow Puppets. He's so much fun to hate!
“To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.” - Freya Stark
He's just so...squee! I just love him. I like how he sometimes tries to act like he doesn't care about certain people, like he'd leave them on the road to die of thirst or something, but you know if he did he wouldn't get five feet before turning back to help the guy out. Nothing's better than a redeemed hero.
Odd Thomas from Odd Thomas
He's so normal that its funny. The way he thinks just makes me laugh...
...And Villans
Professor Umbridge from Harry Potter Made me want so strangle her
And I can't think of any others...but I know they're there...
Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality. - Jules de Gaultier
Samwise Gamgee from LotR... the book, not the movie. Technically he's the sidekick, so then...
Aragorn from LotR (to reiterate: the book, NOT the movie)!
As for my favorite villain... I dunno. Can you do one from a TV show? No? Well, I'll say it anyway: Lex Luthor from Smallville. And again, since that doesn't count, how about... Danteel? Some of you might recognize him from In Thrall, Gyr's story. I'm sure there must be some others, but can't think of any offhand. Unless, I could list my own villain, Feron-Shious. Yeah... guess not.
Hero: Drizzt Do'Urden, R.A. Salvatore's creation. A Dark elf (drow) ranger. He's really freaking cool, and appears in many of Salvatore's books (the books are also freaking amazing).
Villain: Not really sure if he's a Villain (i mean considering evil and good are all just a point of view, but im guessing a bunch of people would see him as a villain so what ever), but w/e Artemis Entrei. Another one of R.A. Salvatore's creations, human assasin, He is also really really cool.
Life's a B*tch, slap it upside the head.
Dargquon Ql'deleodna: (n) "Dar-qu-on Kel-del-ode-na" something i made up that sounded cool, partially based off of the Drow Drizzt Do'Urden's name style
He's both hero and villian (in some respects) the Drakhoul from Sarah Ash's "Tears of Artamon" series.
Killing For Peace Is Like F#@%ing For Chastity Revolucija Je Sada! Revolucija Je Stobom I Svima! Revolucija Je Uvijek-Zivi Uz Revolucije I Budite Slobodni!
Hmm...I'm not sure. I love Sam from Lord of the Rings!
Although I think my favorite fantasy hero would have to be...
Aragon. (I forgot how to spell his name. Is that how you spell it?)
He is so awesome. I love how he becomes king at the end. He's amazing. I also love the sword he uses.
Gandalf!! I prefer Gandalf the White. He is easily loved.
Villian?
Gollum is such an awesome villian! I love him! I like a lot of villians.
Voldemort because he's just so powerful.
Serverus Snape because he just seems so mysterious...it was surprising to find out that he was the Half Blood Prince. (Spoiler)
For Hero's mines gotta be, once again, Zeddicus Zul'Zorander from Terry Goodkinds Sword of Truth series. He's witty, and so down to earth for being one of the greatest wizards in his world's history.
As far as villains, Darken Rahl from the same book series. Hell, id reccomend the series just because if him, favourite person to have ever read about.
To be a hero is not to be out of the ordinary, it is to be ordinarily remarkable.
Well, for Hero, it'd be a tie between... Artemis Fowl, Darren Shan and L from Death Note (Death note is a manga by the way)
Artemis fowl because he's smart, funny and sarcastic, i like to pretend that i can relate, hehe
Darren Shan because, well just because i like the character
And L, because L is plain awesome, and a super smart detective who has to find a killer from everyone in the whole world! but he soon narrows it down =]
Villain would have to be Professor Umbridge, i know alot of people have already said her, but seriously, shes just the kind of person everyone hates and wants to strangle (unreasonable and such)
Oh yeah and Light Yagami from Death note also, well, He's more of an anti-hero, but still, he's very smart and devious. Also his scenes in the manga are epic
Steve, from the Saga of Darren Shan - He's just so evil that you just have to love him .
Shrike, from the Mortal Engines Series - I liked him; he had depth, and reasons for doing everything, and also shreds those who get in his way.
Heroes:
(Slightly clueless; they all seem the same...)
Evanna, from the Saga of Darren Shan - Yes, she was technically neutral, as she never got tired of pointing out, but I liked her; she fought with her brain .
Tom Natsworthy, from the Mortal Engines Series - He was at first a lovable apprentice, then a young aviator, then a middle-aged aviator, then a dying aviator; nobody messes with that timeline. I just liked how clueless he was about scum.
Shrike, from the Mortal Engines Series - Yes, he's also a villain, but, hey, he does a bunch of heroic deeds, like decapitating Stalker Fang, helping to free Oenone Naga, basically being Hester Shaw's mechanical father.
Anti-Heroes:
Gannen Harst, from the Saga of Darren Shan - In my eyes, he portrayed an anti-hero; on one hand, he's working for the evil side, on the other, he knows his boss is insane, he's just following orders and prophecy. On one hand, he stabs his own brother, on the other, he helps merge the two clans together (after his boss dies).
That's all. Also, yes, I know, I should have mentioned Umbridge and Harry Potter and Snape, but a) they're already mentioned, and b) I'm not jumping on a bandwagon.
This guy is so evil you could put him in between two slices of bread and call him an evil sandwich.
