That's a tough one, as there are very few likable characters in the books. Vector is about the only character with any redeeming traits. It's always fun to be bad, so I choose Nick.

Lane Harbinger. Cool gal. I like the way she fell asleep on the microphone
:lol: great one...

Although I am of the opposite gender, I would love to be Min Donner! She is just too darn cool. Like a space-opera version of Dartangion (sp) ... in his later days as a 'detective'... :D

Min is terribly cool!

Well, I've been using this name for about 10 years now... can't really see changing.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing

The question really is would ytou rather be a scumbag or a victim. There are few people who have principles who are not being trampled over constantly.

Dolph Ubikwe was in a good position, not too deep in the misery yet able and willing to do something about the crud flying about.

I was thinking Dolph too. He seems kinda badass too - always a good quality to have in the Gap universe.

True... But there are a lot of gray areas. That (for me, anyway) is a large part of what made it such a fascinating series.

(I think I remember what I posted here originally before "THE WIPE")

I'd be Morn, for the simple fact that, despite all the torture, trauma, pain & addiction, she pulled her sh!t together to make it all the way through. She saw the destruction of Holt Fasner - THAT's gotta be worth surviving Angus/Nick/Amnion for!

Yup! Needs a couple more 'nicks' here and there, but with such limited cheek space, it will suffice! :lol:

Another one I lost in the hack-repair :-x

The answer depends on whether you're asking who I'd choose to be, or who I'm most like.

If I were to choose, I think I'd jump genders and be Koina. I like her various qualities, and she doesn't do anything horrific or die. She has intelligence, articulacy (is that a word? :lol: ), courage, strength, weakness and moral resilience.

If the question is who I'm most like, the answer is less straightforward. I possess qualities (some of them questionable in value) of several characters. Among them: Angus' distrust and occasionally his hostility; Nick's combative streak; Hashi's (sometimes misguided) intellectual snobbery; Morn's capacity for despair; occasionally (judging from people's reactions when I don my "stern" demeanor) Warden's natural command.

But if I'm limited to one, the single character I think I'm most like is Nick, for better or worse.

like cov jnr i think im most like nick, but i would choose to be angus. in the sense that he is probably the best, most complex written character ever.

It's funny how everyone seems to hate Nick, yet everyone wants to BE him! :lol:
