I donâ€™t know, Baylor, I remember him looking kinda cool

, myself:

Of course now they have the wherewithal to make him lookâ€¦

For now MORE screencaps, and especially for Kata

Hey, AO! You and I voted exactly the same.

Great minds.

Rei and irmgaard, I would have loved to have voted for Sephiroth too. But there were so many other characters I loved in the running. I could never get it narrowed down to voting for him. Sorry ladies! Cloud is my honey!

UPDATE TIME!

Link - Legend of Zelda = 8

Squall (Leonhart) - Final Fantasy VIII = 7

Sephiroth - Final Fantasy VII = 6

Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII = 5

Samus Aran - Metroid = 3
Mario - Super Mario Brothers = 3
Guy Cecil - Tales of the Abyss = 3

Kratos - God of War = 2
Sonic the Hedgehog - Sonic the Hedgehog = 2

Mega Man - Mega Man = 1

At this point, ALL characters with 3 or fewer votes will be eliminated.

Time to VOTE!

My first vote this round (and last round, too, come to think of it

) is for:

1. Sephiroth - Final Fantasy VII

In the long, long, long list of miserable backgrounds given to fictional characters, his is one of the more pitiable.
While in utero designated as a laboratory experiment, conducted from misinterpreted, erroneous data,
he is orphaned by his Motherâ€™s abandonment and his Fatherâ€™s complete detachment. Unaware of who his parents are,
except for a name -the wrong name-of his Mother, he is systematically, clinically put through various tortuous
physical and mental tests and trials to observe the outcome and reaction generated in his
genetically/chemically altered mind and body

-- and kept away from any normal social contact.

Released from this hellhole into the rigid environs of Military service, he excels far above others at every aspect
of his role as SOLDIER, earning him the adulation of fansâ€¦but isolating him even furtherâ€¦

There are two other fellow SOLDIERs of great skill in this force, and in a flashback, in the prequel game
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core,
we are shown a smiling, young man,

seeking to win friendsâ€™ approval, showing off and reveling in his
unmatched prowess with a swordâ€¦

It is not to be, of courseâ€¦those men had terrible problems of their own,
and the kind-hearted younger subordinate who tries to befriend him is way out of his depth.
Too little, too late.

So when Sephiroth gets his hands on some misinformation regarding his originsâ€¦it follows with a kind of dreadful inevitability
that he will separate himself from the human race,

since he was never really allowed to join.

Selling

Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss

With all the remaining heavy weights he might be a lost cause, but it's still so much fun to try

:

He makes a great action figure

I appreciate everyone who's voted for him, many thanks

and let's see if I can find any tales fans who haven't voted yet
