Are You Attracted To A Certain Type Of Character?

Basically the title.

Personally, I tend to fall for roguish characters with questionable morales. Light Yagami from Death Note, Ciel from Kuroshitsuji, and Eyeshield 21's Hiruma Youichi are good examples. Characters who smoke and have piercings are automatically more attractive to me too.

I rarely enjoy characters that are constantly fueled by nakama-power (e.g. Fairy Tail's Natsu). I also don't like protagonists like Reborn's Tsuna, that, while extremely weak-willed, always miraculously gets the job done anyway.

Hbu? :>

EDIT: Do the characters you're attracted to say anything about you? (if anybody's still around to answer)

I love delinquents like the cast of Cromartie High school, Knuckle in HxH, Kuwabara in YYH, etc. Most of the time they are the funniest characters in the whole show.

Of course

But in what sense do you mean attracted? Romantically? Or characters I like in a story?

I like determined, confident females. Characters who have knowledge about in about any given situation. Smooth sentences and behaviour and cute smile make me a magnet towards anime characters and real person alike.

In that case, characters who I can relate with and who display strong emotions. The "stoic no feelings badass" types are boring

Characters who rely on being logical and realistic instead of letting their emotions take over.
Light is a good example.

Underdogs with rewarding character development; characters who fight hard and struggle, preferably with ideals. As for ATTRACTED, intelligent ladies.

I like characters whose life is in shambles/ who suffer from mental diseases and simply every yandere character. They're always so funny.

Traps is instantly the best character of the show.

Else the character who is hype and active, or those who act on logic, justice and reasons.

Uh, I'm really not sure. There are many personality traits that I'm attracted to, from ditzy airheads to intelligent and cruel characters. The favorite character list on my profile kinda reflects my erratic attractions towards different character types. Strong/intelligent characters that are condescending and confident really make me all fuzzy.

Traps are insta-love, though. That's just how it is.

I'd agree with that. I also like characters that seem to have 2 sides to their personality. You see a flip switch in their head during critical moments where it seems like they become someone different all together

Like in romances where out and about they're all cool and business like, but when they get alone with their lover they become super cute and adorable...?

Admittedly, I haven't watched enough romance anime to think of a character like that off the top of my head.

Examples from my favorite characters would be

Maka from Soul Eater - usually very level headed but shows a different side whenever it comes to fighting Medusa

Fuji from Prince of Tennis - always plays down to his opponents abilities and never really goes all out or takes matches very seriously unless someone gets hurt by his opponent.

Urahara from Bleach - usually not a very serious guy but he has his moments

Maybe what I'm describing is more along the lines of nakama powers that OP dislikes but I'm not sure if that's right either

I usually love the happy go lucky main character, but depends on the moments he gets to shine and his character development.

Also have a soft spot for the MC's rival, the anti-hero of the series.

Hmm...

Characters like Inaba in Kokoro Connect. Calm, reserved, but has a more caring side somewhere--on the outside or the inside. Waiting to be recognized, waiting to be loved and cared for.

Characters like Momo from To-love RU: Darkness -- Passionate, bold, energetic, with a go-get-them attitude. Aside from the harem plan, of course. If I was Rito I would settle with Momo any time of day. Just sweep her up, look her in the eye, and tell her to stop telling me about the harem plan, all I need is you.

For that matter, any girl who thinks she doesn't deserve love.

L. His intellectual/funny personality got him waayyyy up top on my list. Light Yagami is also my one of favs, because of his intellectual/villanous personality.

Yato has that funny personality and attitude that made him one of my favs.

I FUCKING hate dense headed mother bitches. Their heads are made up of 100 layers of bone with nothing inside. Due to this reason I began to appreciate guys who NOT dense and are more aware of their surroundings. Like Hachiman.

But I also like personalities who just doesn't have a single fuck to give for anything. With that cool, calm and half open eyes.
BUT I also like the insane type of guys too.
Damn it, I am just contradicting myself here.

OKAY. This is the last.
I think people who wears different personality masks are awesome. They don't have a fixed personality but has many personalities that they wear at different times.
I am not talking about psychopaths, okay maybe I am.....damn it.

For action: Underdogs with the determination to win and succeed. But also has the potential to realize their goals.
Or calm and collected under pressure who can adapt quickly to any given situation - but usually contain a glaring flaw to be interesting.

Mostly characters I find a little of myself in. The ones that are the shy and quiet odd one out, and pretend not to care but they're really just too afraid and too proud to take a stand. Characters that really cares the most about others but maybe aren't that good at showing it.

I go for the cross-dressers. ._.

I also have a soft spot for people who put everything on the line for the sake of someone else, a sort of tanky kind of personality. Not just thinking it's for someone when it actually hurts them or doesn't help but rather it actually furthers the other person's goals.

Cross-dressers: It might say I'm transgender and like to cross-dress, which is true.

Tanky: It might say I value devotion, which I do. I have a healy-tanky mentality as well. My urge to protect is strong. :(

Well, if it's very easy to do this:

Describe the characters WITHOUT:
...saying what they look like
...what kind of costume they wore
...or what their profession or role in the story was
Describe these characters to your friends as if they'd never seen the movie / story before.


Then they are at least in the running.

I just like characters that are really developed, and I don't know what distinguishes the ones I really like, but it just kinda happens.

I am a real sucker for the ability to make cute chibi faces though.

I Like carefree and humorous characters that have strong beliefs and powers like Gintoki - Gintama.

I also like those characters that have no problem with killing anyone with no mercy and without any sense of guilt. especially if they were main characters like Guts - Berserk, Rei - Code Breaker.

I love those relentless characters who work hard to accomplish there ambition (there're lots of examples).
