Friendship Is Magic, I Hear.
[In response to the LJ Writer's Block question 'Which video game character would you like to have as your real-life BFF?']
Elena Fisher of the Uncharted series was my first thought - she's smart, funny, bold, level-headed but playful - but, on further consideration, spending time with her would also mean spending time with Nate. And I like Nate! In theory, I'm very happy with the idea of being friends with Nathan Drake; he's good-hearted, hilariously dorky and prepared to go to extraordinary lengths for the people he cares about. In reality, though, he is a walking disaster-magnet and I would almost certainly be killed if I got anywhere near him.
If we ignore the men with guns and focus on character and the fact that Nate would probably somehow find an ancient Babylonian golden statuette propped up against my front door, thus making me rich, I think 'Elena and by extension Nate' has to be my answer to this.
Other thoughts: I'd actually quite like to be friends with Bianca of the fifth-generation Pokémon games (Black and White). She's sweet and scatterbrained and enthusiastic, and although she may not be the world's greatest trainer she always tries her best. I genuinely think we'd get on well.
Despite loving a huge number of Final Fantasy characters, I'm having trouble thinking of ones I could be friends with. Squall and I would just sit in intensely uncomfortable silence; I can't see us ever making it past the level of awkward acquaintances. I wouldn't be able to cope emotionally with someone as volatile as Lightning, and Balthier would intimidate me. Snow would drive me mad. Yuna or Sazh I could be comfortable with, I think.
And obviously the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube is an extremely reliable companion and will never judge you.
I don't often answer the Writer's Block question, but this one I really like. Not that I would say no to an Amazon gift card, but I'm mainly answering because I love the question.
