In love with a fictional character?

Never loved a character per se. But I definitely had some favorites or characters I thought were very nicely fleshed out. Now as far as enjoying a character's presence in a game? Well...:

I also always thought Rydia from FFIV was quite a neat character. Had a pretty rough life but you never really heard her complain about it. Plus, Yoshitaka Amano's artwork on her was gorgeous. Eat yer' heart out, Rosa.

Yuri from Shadow Hearts was a character that I thought was nicely fleshed out. Kinda fella who'd been through a hellish life and just bottled it up, only letting out a wise-ass crack on occasion with a cocky grin on his mug. He'd be getting torn up on the inside or his soul was in jeopardy. But in SH2, you really get the feeling across that the poor guy didn't have a will to live anymore following what happened at the end of SH1. This made for a depressing but interesting character. Typically you'd see folks who had a bad life and they'd be all emo or bitchy. Yuri was one of the first kinds of protagonists I saw in a game that put up a facade so that no one would get close or think there was much wrong with him. A complex anti-hero =o Or so I figure.

Falling in love with characters? No.
Having a preference and an interest in seeing them? Yes.

Don't go thinking I go looking at Yuri yaoi or Rydia-on-Edge Hentai any crap like that.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
