Re: If you could be any video game character...
If 'being a video game character' means simply living throughout their canon lives as in the games, then I will once again state that being Wakka from Final Fantasy X is the ultimate choice.
For years before the game begins, his life literally consisted of relaxing all day on the beach in Besaid while occasionally playing Blitzball - an awesome sport.
Throughout the game while other characters use swords and magic, he manages to get away with using a ball which he throws as his only weapon.
Then to top it off, at the end of the game he scores a fine dominatrix chick.
