What are your top 5 fictional creations of all time?

Mine are, in no particular order:

Tony Soprano - The Sopranos
Walter White - Breaking Bad
Captain Ahab - Moby Dick
Max Cady - Cape Fear (the DeNiro version)
and last but by no means least:
Nicomo Cosca - Joe Abercrombies First Law trilogy and other novels.

If you've never read these I urge you to have a go. The first of the series, 'The Blade Itself' starts out a bit like Marco's Method of lathering (which I shall from here on in refer to simply as 'the method' here on B&B) in as much as to begin with you think 'What..are you serious? this is....' but if you stick with it you're in for a treat. Superb characters, plot twists, great prose.

Anyway gents, have at it :001_smile

Here will be my 5 TODAY(Tomorrow could be a totally different list).
King Lear - The Tragedy of King Lear(He will be my rep for so many of Wm. Shakespeare's charaters)
Jean Valjean - Les Misérables
Edmond Dantès - The Count Of Monte Cristo
Atticus and Scout Finch - To Kill A Mockingbird
Captain Woodrow F. Call - Larry McMurtry

But Good-Gravy Batman, it's hard to limit it to 5 "Character Creations". There is literary, cinematic, pulp fiction, and even mythology. There is also classic and contemporary.

I don't even know where to start.

@Bakker1964 mentioned Middle Earth. That is certainly a good one.

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit or There and Back Again
