Awesome fictional characters.

Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson.



Before you start replying in attempt to correct my glaring error, read up on the man--courtesy of Cracked--and tell me you believe a man this awesome could be anything but fictional:

When the 1828 election rolled around, a lot of people were terrified when they heard Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson was running. If you're wondering how a guy we're calling a bad ass got such a lame nickname, it's because he used to carry a hickory cane around and beat people senseless with it, and if you're wondering why he did that, it's because he was a fucking lunatic.

[...]

Despite everyone's best efforts, Jackson was elected to the top office, and when he wasn't busy shaping the Presidency as we know it today, you could find him out back dueling. [...] The number of duels that Jackson took part in varies depending on what source you consult; some say 13, while others rank the number somewhere in the 100's, both of which are entirely too many times for a reasonable human being to stand in front of someone who is trying to kill them with a loaded gun.

[...]

On one occasion, he challenged a man named Charles Dickinson to a duel, (the reason behind it wasn't important, not to us and certainly not to Jackson), and Jackson was even kind enough to give Dickinson the first shot. We're gonna go ahead and repeat that: In a duel with pistols, Jackson politely volunteers to be shot at first. Dickinson happily obliged and shot Jackson, who proceeded to shake it off like it was a bee sting. When Jackson returned the favor, Dickinson was not so lucky, and that's why his face isn't on the twenty. The bullet, by the by, remained in Jackson's body for 19 years because, we assume, Jackson knew that time spent removing the bullets would just fall under the general category of "time not dueling," Jackson's least favorite category.

[...]

Andrew Jackson was the first president on whom an assassination attempt was made. A man named Richard Lawrence approached Jackson with two pistols both of which, for some reason, misfired. With the possibility of an assassination taken off the table, Jackson proceeded to beat Lawrence near death with his cane until Jackson's aides pulled him off the assassin.

[...]

"I have only two regrets: I didn't shoot Henry Clay and I didn't hang John C. Calhoun."

That's right. In a life rich with murdering people for little-to-no reason, Jackson's only regret was that he didn't kill quite enough people. People like Calhoun who, it should be noted, was Jackson's vice president.

Definitely Bastila Shan from the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic



I love her sophisticated British-sounding accent, her nobleness, her lightsaber and her gorgeous pigtails, she has other lovely attributes as well though...

I think my initial post (I started the thread) was Revan and some others. Bastila was cool, but dark side Bastila was so much cooler:

But all that dark side corruption ruins those attributes I was talking about .

[Pallantides]

Jack/Subject Zero from Mass Effect 2




"Shit, you sound like a pussy."

[Stygian Cellarius]

Diomedes

Virtues: valor, strength, wisdom, humility, leadership, experience, self-control and is second in combat only to Achilles.

There is no greater warrior in Greek mythology except Achilles. Even Hector, Aeneas and Ajax are below the mighty son of Tydeus.

He also bested Ulysses and quite easily.

AND wounded two immortals (Venus and Mars) AND attacked Apollo without injury. No other mortal has a record like that except Heracles.
