Just in case you think you’re experiencing déjà vu, you’re not. 
I created this topic a while ago when the forums were in their beta stage, and it seemed to make the jump over to the general discussion forum when these new forums were put up.
The thing is it seemed to be a pretty popular thread, and I rather enjoyed seeing the replies. So I’m re-posting it here in the Halo Universe forum. Lock if you’d like, but just know that you’re breaking my heart. </3
Well anyways…
Halo as a universe is HUGE. The many stories and books written by great Science Fiction authors make it even larger.
And with its immensity comes complexity. To hold that complexity together you need characters to drive the story along. Every character has a purpose, no matter how small that purpose may seem.
There are the huge, product-selling characters like John-117, the Arbiter, and Cortana. There were the obscure characters who had a profound impact on our experiences, like Sadie in ODST and Auntie Dot in Reach.
You have Sergeant Johnson’s comic relief in grave situations, Captain Keye’s total awesomeness, and Noble Team’s willingness to pick a fight.
There are so many to like, but you must have some soft spot deep in your heart reserved for your favorite character! I’d imagine many would respond Master Chief, but was he really the one that you ended up liking the most?
My favorite character would have to be 343 Guilty Spark. His complexities were immense, but that’s why I loved him so much. I mean, sure he killed Sgt. Johnson and almost killed the Chief, but the two probably wouldn’t have made it off the first Halo Ring had the oracle not helped them along. The manic personality was probably one of the reasons I kept with the Halo series, and I really missed it in ODST and Reach.
So yes. Who would be your favorite character?
