Simon from SOMA becayse its the stall between life and death. Sometimes tou just want things to find peace sometimes you say you want to die but then shit goes down and you hold on, hold on, hold on. Its a desperate scream to hold on to whatever you have got. Not even humanity anymore.

Spoiler: Spoiler

He had a car crash that left him with a bleeding brain and he desperately wanted to stay alive. Had a new tech brain scan, donated the file to help humanity or whatever. Wakes up right after the scan in a dark place with weird fuckin robots and no humanity. Turns out that he is not himself but his brain's consciousness captured in that scan, he is 100 years into the future and the world is dead and he is just a robotic part with a brain scan stuffed in a dead corpse that can walk.

Its about a man who wanted to die so much, then live so muxh, then die so much, then live so much,... an endless loop. He is just some guy. He just desperately wanted to stay alive and he did, but then unable to die and stuck in a dead world with a mission to send the brain scans of dead people to space... but he couldnt save himself. Sometimes you cant ask why me because there is no why but just you. Only you.

Jack from Bioshock 1.

Spoiler

Plane crash and ending up in an underwater city with fucked up people who are killing machines and brainwashed children. Turns out his entire life is a lie, he was taken from his mother to be lab grown with false memories to be a sleeper agent and only to obey.

And after the end when he saves the kids and takes them to the surface and gives them a nice life, grows old, dies... I wonder if he ever recovered. I bet he thought about how fucked up it all was, nothing completely fulfilling him. Always some kind of fucking void.

Its like those false memories your brain creates over childhood trauma and shit.

Very sad fuckin stories for two just some guy kind of characters i love quite much.(

I don't play storybased games much soo the pool isn't large
Knight from Hollow Knight

We don't know much about him, he is canocically empty of feelings but i just loved how he fit every different area greatly. His improvement is amazing and he is cute. Literally the greatest mc ever made.
Eva from Black skylands

i have a thing for tough looking women

Renata Glasc from lol


Taka from Vainglory

I used to otp this guy soo hard and i was soo good at it it was unreal. i Had 9 k/d average with this character when he came out. Vainglory as a game used to be powehouse for good designed characters.
