Which videogame character would you want to be?

My first reaction was well, hey, that’s an easy one. I’d want to be Master Chief. I love Halo, hell, I put a good 200 hours into playing halo 2 online. But then I thought….hmmmm….do I really want some lady plugged into my head 24/7, telling me what to do, where to go. I already get enough of that at home. ha! (love you babe). And seriously, if I have to go to the bathroom, I don’t want to spend 25 minutes figuring out how to take off my 300 pound suit of armor. When nature’s calling, sometimes you just gotta go.
So ok, not Master Chief. I started to think about some of the other classic game types. One of those Final Fantasy guys like Cloud or Va’an. Um, no thank you. Not only do they have terrible hair, but keep getting more and more gay with each sequel. “How about Mario? He’s classic!” you say. Well, I say he’s a mere plumber who consistently allows his princess to be kidnapped by a half dragon, half turtle mutant. Plus, my dad has one of those industrial vacuum cleaners that’s like wearing a hoover on your back and yeah, that thing didn’t look cool in mario sunshine either.
So what’s the character that I would want to be? I’m going with the Asian Commander Shepard from Mass Effect. I made him look like me, except if I was tough and had battle scars and was jacked. Not only did I have two hot girls fighting over me, but I also managed to kick some serious Geth @ss using my sick pistol and some biotic (or as I like to call it, force powers). Basically the guy was like me…if I entered the military….learned how to shoot a gun….and could lift people in the air with my thoughts. um, yeah.
Picture an AZN version of this, and that’s how my guy looks.

I’m fairly certain I’d be Lara Croft – you know, kicking some ass and taking some names.
But really, who are we kidding? I’d be Princess from Mario Brothers – totally incapable, constantly getting into trouble/being kidnapped, and always wearing pink.
