#favcharactero — Public Fediverse posts

@[email protected] For O I declare my favourite character to be OA, from the Netflix series The OA. Short for "Original Angel", in a former life she was known as Prairie before a close brush with death bestowed her new name on her. A woman driven intensely by love, who inspires passion and loyalty in those she meets, overcoming great suffering, on a supernatural quest of cosmic import. Although it is not her aim she clearly has a fantastic destiny ahead of her, wrapped in layers of mystery. Unfortunately we will never get to learn what that is, but what we do have of her story is nonetheless compelling. #FavCharacterAtoZ, #FavCharacterO

For #FavCharacterO I have chosen another Legend of the Five Rings character

O-Ushi Hida, the "crab clan bully". She is a cool samurai lady with a big hammer and for some reason her name means "great cow". When her brother was away she assumed the mantle of champion of her clan because she is just cool that way.

Had to think about this one, so quick shout out to Ocellus from MLP who I almost went with and Ollie Queen from DC. Going with Ororo Munroe who surprisingly hasn't show up yet, but for all the things I do genuinely love about the character I'm a fan but not a huge one. So this pick is going with the version of Ororo I think is one of her most interesting alts, Amalgam Comics' Amazon.

the other thing he is, besides the Millennial Steve Austin is One Punch Man, since he fights with his hands in his pockets for most of the match & does some amazing things with it, but when he wants to he just breaks out the Superman Punch & wins. I just wish he wasn't held back b/c the wrestling traditionalists hate him so much for "making a mockery" of their "sport". e_e

Also because I really don't think men & women should be gender segregated in PRO WRESTLING of all things, I love that he's had some amazing matches against women on the indie circuit:

I love he's willing to sell to make them look good & even lose (but that is more about the real him than his character)

#FavCharacterO

OK #FavCharacterO for me was so hard to choose, b/c one will never be mentioned, the other is a childhood fav but is quite popular.

So I'm going to say Obi-Wan Kenobi has been my fav char in Star Wars since I was a kid. He's played brilliantly twice. I don't blame him for anything that happens. He tries his best, he's wise, he's powerful, he turns into a ghost. But others have already picked him.

Nobody's going to pick... Orange Cassidy from AEW, or as I call him "The Millennial Steve Austin". Austin was Gen X's "fuck the boss" avatar. Orange's deal is he doesn't really want to do his job but is actually EXTREMELY GOOD AT WRESTLING. He puts in the absolute minimum effort to succeed & I love him. Even his titantron is lazy. He is the wrestling avatar of the Millennial

@ami_angelwings Time travel #FavCharacterAtoZ is tricky for #FavCharacterO in that I had to look up possibilities. (Okabe's a last name, right? So doesn't count.)

Otto Osworth is the best prospect I came up with, from Time Squad. If anyone out there has more to say about him, or better options, let me know.

It has been pointed out to me that Oh Dae-su for #FavCharacterO I got his name backwards. So allow me to substitute Optimus Prime. Leader of the Autobots in the Transformers Universe.

Please respect my privacy at this trying time.

@ami_angelwings Okabe Rintaro from Steins;Gate HAS to be my #FavCharacterO

The conceit of a character playing pretend that they're in some grand conspiracy only to actually get thrust into that and have that completely break them down is just really well executed, especially since that divorce between consequence and reality is something that people like okabe are often not really prepared to face, and I think he's a really interesting case study

I also like how devoted he is to giving a place to the people around him, both emotionally and physically. It doesnt have too much attention drawn to it in the show but I think it humanizes him a lot in a way I really love

@ami_angelwings O, this is a fun one: My #FavCharacterO is Obi, simultaneously aide and foil to Prince Zen of Clarines in the manga (and anime) "Snow White with the Red Hair." Cultivates the presentation of a dangerous loner (which isn't *wrong* mind you) but rapidly gets caught up in Zen and Shirayuki's orbit, becoming deeply devoted to them individually and their goals together.

I have been looking at the letter "O" with some trepidation pertaining to @ami_angelwings #FavCharacterAtoZ for days Oliver Queen was the only O I could think of. Then I was watching BTS - 2.0 and it was as clear as day.

What would you do if you were kidnapped and locked up for 15 years? Let free and given 5 days to find who by and why he was incarcerated? Let me help, watch Choi Min-sik play Oh Dae-su in 2003 Oldboy.

#FavCharacterO

@ami_angelwings Odysseus. It was one of the first books I remember reading, in an Italian prose version for kids or teenagers. I remember staying up very, very late, sitting on the floor, with the book on my bed. The story was so gripping, then. Full of blood, and death, and cleverness and nonsense, with that weird (for me then) start where his son goes out to search for him...
