Hey Pandas, If You Could Live The Life Of A Fictional Character, Who Would You Be? (Closed)
I used to love to imagine living the life of a fictional character. Honestly, with some series, I couldn't decide who I like best so instead, I just would imagine living their lives, dying, waking up in real life, and then doing it again in a few weeks with a different character!
I was and still am weird. Who would you live the life of?
Rules: You can have multiple characters or even just say a book series that you would like to be a part of. Preferably fiction but if you really want to you can do a real person.
Other than that no rules. Have fun and don't be afraid to make your post kind of long.

I actually don't imagine myself as anyone because I feel like if I replace someone the story would change from how it is supposed to be. but, I do like to add myself into the story as a side character that could talk to and hang out with anyone I want to. or, if a fictional character I like dies then I could go and change it. or if there is a cliffhanger I could imagine what would hapen next. its kinda fun

I would like to be like my grandfather.
He is already dead, so for that reason he is fictional in my mind, because I will never meet him again. He survived WWII as child in Czech rural countryside, occupied by German Nazis for long 6 years, later survived 40 years of communism in Czech Republic and never lost his galantry, sens of humor and joy of every day life.
He had one wife, one kid /my mother/ one job, one God.
No cell phone, no wifi, no big wardrobe with full of t-shirts etc.
I miss him a lot.

Domino. I'd have the ability to have luck on my side and cause my opponents to have bad luck. Nothing could be traced back to me, but I'd be able to live an awesome life and stick it to my enemies without anyone being able to prove I was the cause of any of it. First up, going to Vegas and betting as much as they'd let me on the roulette wheel for one lucky spin and then leave. Then having been bankrolled, I'd delve into the stock market. Once I had FU money, I'd retire in luxury in Maui.

read the book; saw the film: griet from 'girl with a pearl earring'. in her intro to us it's shown that she has some part of herself yet untapped for artistic arrangement. vermeer peels back the veil from her eyes & her emotions to allow her to grow. after we exit the small part of her life we witness i would imagine that she was influenced to be more independent and, possibly, follow an artistic path. i love characters that undergo personal transitions that expose

Nick Wilde - because being a fox AND a cop in a world full of anthropomorphic animals sounds awesome.
Alastor from Hazbin Hotel - because he comes quite close to my character (I'm not as murderous though)
Levi Ackerman - because being a sassy, titan slaying bad ass is cool (I know what happens but won't spoiler here )
Yōji Itami (Gate) - because exploring a fantasy world while being quite untouchable through technology sounds some what fun. The combat wouldn't be necessarily a part of it for my taste, more a necessary evil

By far Kinkajou from Wings of Fire.
Because:
- She is a RainWing, and RainWings are awesome.
- She is friends with Glory (a high honor).
- She is also one of my favorite dragons.
No other explanation needed. :D

Hari Seldon (from the classic sci fi series "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov). He develops "psychohistory" which accurately predicts the future. Absolutely killer series of books if you haven't read them. Don't wait for the movie, no way will it do justice.

I LOOOVE the series Redwall among many others. I always wanted to be one of the characters, though my favorites include Mariel or Triss. Another one is either a Harry Potter, Unwanteds or Melendy Quartet (By Elizabeth Enright, a series but I don't know what else to call it) character. It would also be very awesome to live through just about anytime in history.

1. Dr. Doolittle - animals are his friends, he speaks with animals, saves animals from the depredations of humans, he meets the giant pink sea snail, goes to a floating island, sails the sea, makes his own rules. (He's been my hero since I can remember)
2. Aquaman - awesome swimmer, breathes underwater, speaks with sea creatures, lives in the sea
3. An Ent - lives in the forest, speaks with the other trees and animals
4. A Hobbit - lives in a peaceful village, has an amazing underground house with a round door (the one drawback is the social pressure to conform to Hobbit society.)
5. An Ewok - lives in a tree village and plays in drum circles around the fire at night, 'tis the perfect life

Okay, I have several.
#1: Emily from Pegasus. She has a TON of amazing powers and can talk to THE Pegasus. Pretty darn cool.
#2: Annabeth Chase from Percy Jackson. There's really no need to explain that one.
#3: Jordan from The Pheonix Files. She's very independent and kicks butt without instruction.
#4: Hermione Granger. No explanation needed. She's amazing.
#5: Kahlen from The Siren. Yes, she's a siren, but her love story with Akinli is to die for!
#6: Bella from Twilight. I know I know, you've probably guessed by now that I'm a fangirl.
#7: Kilala from Kilala Princess. Holy heck, first of all, she gets to meet a ton of Disney princesses. That would be cool. And, she gets to date a SUPER hot guy.
#8: Gwen from Spiderman into the Spiderverse. I've always loved Spiderman and everything to do with him.
#9: Captain Marvel. She used to work for the air force (Go Air Force!) and has a flerkin on her side.
#10: Nick Fury. Do I have to explain?
#11: Iron Man. Again, no explanation.
#12: Black Widow. Just yes.
#13: Qibli from Wings of Fire. He's just amazing and wonderful.
#14: Willow from Willow. Amazing movie.
#15: Rou from the Hunger Games. I know she dies, but she was by far my favorite character.
#16: Jana from Wolfblood. She's very strong minded, but grows to be a good leader.
#17: (Last one, I promise!) Wild style from the Lego Movie 1 and 2.
(Sorry for such a long list guys! I love fictional stories and I read and watch a lot of fictional content, so I have a ton of characters that I admire)
