I actually assumed Columbo would show up a lot in #FavCharacterC but so far I haven't seen his name.

#QuestionOfTheDay #FavCharacterAtoZ

Who is your favourite fictional character from any work whose name (if they only have one) or first name begins with the letter "D"?

Please include the series/work the character is from and why they are your favourite.

Include the hashtag #FavCharacterAtoZ also, so we can easily group the answers.

Similar to the rules on "C", Detective/Doctor/etc don't count unless that's a proper name & not a title. (i.e. Detective Chimp & The Doctor count, Detective Lennie Briscoe & Dr. House do not)

Add the hashtag #FavCharacterD to it so there's sub-sorting as well.

@ami_angelwings Well, obviously no one can pick him, his first name is Lieutenant.

[ami_angelwings@urusai.social]

@otherdracula that's also true

@ami_angelwings I am contractually obligated to say Dracula. #FaveCharacterD

@ami_angelwings Diana Burnwood
Definitely one of the best developed female characters in video games across the timeline from 2000 to date.

@otherdracula if you didn't I would be obligated to flamethrower you as an alien imposter

@ami_angelwings Donut, or rather Princess Donut. She’s now a talking cat, before she was just a cat, and hangs out with Carl from yesterday’s #FavCharacterAtoZ in the dungeon crawl.

She’s sassy, she’s a diva, and she’s insecure as hell but a lot smarter and more capable than what she lets on.

#DungeonCrawlerCarl

(And she’s totally taking the spotlight from Carl:))

it's interesting that Dr. Strange is an edge case b/c Dr. Strange is both his professional title and his superhero name.

@ami_angelwings #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterD Dall Sabin, from Tactical Breach Wizards. She's a hero of the resistance, that outright stole a riot cop's gear, and uses it themselves. Interestingly, while her nation is oppressed by a theocracy, she's not an atheist; she actually follows an opposing denomination of the same religion. The writing of the conflict is fascinating. On top of all that, she's a lot of fun to play, ramming into enemies at high speed.

I thought I knew for sure who my #FavCharacterD was but then I remembered Diana of Themyscira (Wonder Woman) but she can also go under W & I don't *think* I have any conflicts in W.

Anyway I'm gonna go with my first choice:

Dinobot from Transformers: Beast Wars (or "Beasties" as it was called in Canada e_e), setup to make you think he's like Starscream, turns into a loyal Maximal, and ends up dying a hero, sacrificing his life going 1 on 7 against ALL THE PREDACONS by himself (he wasn't even a transmetal) to save future humanity, using the last of his energy to eyeblast the Golden Disc, preventing Megatron from seeing the future.

"He lived a warrior, and died a hero. Let his spark join the Matrix - the greatest of Cybertron."

D

He's a pretty sympathetic anti-hero, and yoshitaka amano's artwork is amazing.

it's amazing how dark that show was able to get, skirting the line with implication. In a previous episode Dinobot had given the golden disc to Megatron when he realized Megatron was right all along and didn't strand them on the planet for no reason, and he wonders about what his destiny is, but then he ultimately can't bring himself to kill Rattrap (his beloved) and turns back on Megatron realizing he's not a Predacon at heart.

This act leads to him trying to get redemption by destroying the disc, but the episode opens with him holding his sword to his torso. I guess the censors missed it, but he was clearly going to kill himself for his mistake before he decided that he controls his own fate and he can still fix things and prevent Megatron from succeeding.

@ami_angelwings Golly, hadn't considered Claire (mainly given my theme) but she would be a good choice. As well as Columbo. Interesting who comes to mind and who doesn't.

[jlm@mastodon.world]

@ami_angelwings
He does have a first name, but I doubt anyone is going to use their S on Stephen Strange.

[ami_angelwings@urusai.social]

@BigShellEvent sounds sus

[otherdracula@mastodon.social]

@ami_angelwings it would be, a bit sus

[thepi@urusai.social]

@ami_angelwings Death from Discworld. Not only is he a cool skeleton but he also takes his job very seriously and is actually quite thoughtful about the whole thing. Nice chap, all in all.

[ami_angelwings@urusai.social]

In case you missed it, my #FavCharacterA is

Ami Angelwings (@ami_angelwings@urusai.social)

Mine goes without saying. It's Rob Liefeld's Avengelyne. Just kidding, it's obviously acclaimed podracer and child killer, Anakin Skywalker. Yeah yeah, that's a lie, for reals it's Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbend... Okay fine, we all know who it is, it's Ami Mizuno from Sailor Moon. Of course it is. She's my namesake. #FavCharacterAtoZ #FavCharacterA
