A lot of people would probably bag me for this, but the first character i ever thought of as one of my favourites would be Cloud Strife from FFVII. On the exterior, he seems to be a cool, calm and collected swordsman and a veteran of many battles. However, he is in fact a very flawed, vulnerable and emotional person trying to discover himself in a chaotic and dark world.Originally Posted by Alisbet
At the time i was playing this game for the first time, i was around probably 9 or 10 and Cloud was everything i wanted to be when i grew up - strong and powerful yet compassionate and loving. His dark journey throughout VII's storyline helped me with my own personal issues and would later form the basis for what morals i would uphold in my life and inspired me to become a writer. I felt a kind of kinship with him, as we faced our own private and personal demons - and for a young boy whose only male figure was depressed, angry and suffering all the time, Cloud became a sort of spiritual brother to me.
