Definitely of the prehistoric pre-Crash Valiant fans sort. I had a dog named Solar - great dog.

I find it difficult deciding on a favorite VEI main character. Harbinger is my favorite book, but no single character jumps out yet; I could do without any of them and still enjoy the book - the only character truly essential is Harada. Bloodshot is up there, but I just can't bring myself to say he's my favorite character. X-O: the book I like, Aric - meh. Favorite supporting character is Bleeding Monk - it was Pulse but they killed her :cry:

I'll probably say Rai once he's here.

Huh that's interesting what you say about Harbinger because its the exact opposite for me. They ALL jump out at me so much its hard to pick just one! I love all of Dysart's characters thus far :)

I feel the same about Harbinger. It's become my favorite book so far but no one character has jumped out completely to become a favorite; I like them all which is a huge compliment to Dysart's writing skills.

Bloodshot is growing on me as well but I can't say fully that he is my favorite either. Same with X-O.

If I had to pick, I would go with who brought me into Valiant, Gilad or the Anni-Padda brothers together. Their history sound so intriguing but Valiant has done such a terrific job with these characters, I find it very hard right now to pick just ONE favorite out of them. And that's a good thing. :thumb:

That is interesting since we haven't seen too much of the monk yet. Maybe you like him because he hasn't had a chance to be disliked.
Maybe you dislike all the characters and are really a Canadian spylord.
