Be a Fictional Character

You have to live out the entire lifetime of a fictional character. Which fictional character do you choose? Why?

Caveats:
  • You are not able to change their life decisions.
  • You are able to do whatever you want after their story is over (if they survive).

Vyse of the videogame Skies of Arcadia. He has badass weapons and at the end of his story arch he has the choice of two totally awesome girls and almost the entire world is fighting on his side. He's got a world to help rebuild but he's not in charge of rebuilding it-- he has the option of helping out where he can but he's not required to take charge of anything.

Over the canon part of his life, he stays surprisingly un-angsty, but not sheltered.

Plus, the world he lives in is absolutely the most beautiful one in almost any video game.

The ultimate privileged boy who gave his life to service and threw it all away to save actual people. He made the exact right ideological call.

Plus, Kaylee!
