I was wondering what anime character you would like to be like?
I don't mean what anime you would like to be transplanted into. I sort of mean what character would you like to be if they were in the real world, your real world, as normal people.

If you don't understand the question, needless explanation in the spoiler
I've been reading posts about what character you relate to, what character you would go gay/straight for, which one you love, etc., and I find that I'm not really like any characters, nor do I "love" anime characters. However, there are some characters that I would like to be like. There are some traits present in these characters that I
really wish I had. Most of these are due to perceived and real deficiencies in my self.
With that being said, I was wondering what anime character you would like to be like?

For example, I constantly curse myself for my weakness of resolve in whatever I do and how I always succumb to my desires rather than what I think is right. That is why my favorite characters usually end up being people who really work hard regardless of what they are put through, regardless of what everyone else says, and are firm, even to the degree of rigidity, even if it's a bad thing. For this reason, off the top of my head, I would like to be like Detective Lunge from Monster, who had this strange habit of typing data into the computer in his head with his fingers because he thought that it made him completely objective, or Vegeta, who was obsessed with being the best, and made that his focus. I was watching an old episode yesterday on youtube and I liked his quote that went something like (I don't really know why I'm writing these...I think its because I watched this yesterday and liked them)
Supreme Kai: ...Vegeta...forget the past and become innocent and pure
Vegeta: What are you talking about...I'm not innocent.
(Vegeta gets controlled by Bobbity or whatever his name is)
Supreme Kai: Don't you realize that the fate of the world means more than your meaningless squabble?
Vegeta: Meaningless?!? (screaming and powerup) What do you know about meaningless? Be ruled by another for most of your life, see your race dwindle to a handful before your eyes, and tell me what has more meaning than your own strength. (from the dub...don't start arguing with me about real japanese lines please)
Vegeta: I will not be distracted from this anymore.
I also like characters rising from challenges. I wish to be strong enough to get past the challenges that I face, not sit with lack of resolve and never change.
Another thing I find is that these characters that I like change over time, meaning that I am changing over time. These characters are who I like right now, but they will most likely change in the future.
No one else needs to write more than simply what characters they want to be like. I just wrote this to give you an idea of what I mean from my question.
Ah crap...I've realized what I've done. I don't mean for this to be some kind of depressed thread. What I mean is what character do you want to be like that you actually work towards. I don't want people to say things like, "I want to be..., but *sob sob sob* I won't be like that."
I want to be like Morita from Honey and Clover... Not necessarily be a genius... but I want to be able to approach life with that carefree and fun attitude that often attracts people to you. Unfortunately, I'm as shy, desensitized and socially inept as any anti-social human being.
Well... characters I can work towards... Well if I was a women I'd definitely say Mai Kawasumi, but unfortunately I don't think a man can garner such a strong presence without talking or showing any personal interest.
Well, as otaku as this sounds, I suppose I at least want to be kind, such as Takayuki from KGNE, but with a little Onizuka mixed in for decisive purposes.
I want to be pretty much any character with strong will and solid determination. Any character who has never given up and always prevailed, been optimistic, stuck to their dreams and hardworking. I lack willpower and am easily swayed from my goals and prone to giving up when the chips are down. I'll never be like my heros =[
Just kidding. Uh. I want to be cool like Kino or Keita and effortlessly smart or talented like Naoki (Itazura no Kiss) or Lelouch. And there are other characters I know I've wanted to emulate whom I shall mention later if I ever remember.
I suppose a character that I would actually try to be like would be someone like Tanpopo-from Imadoki
She's always cheerfull and trys to make people happy, and manages to care about even the characters that make me want to shoot myself *coughErikacough*
Though there are some days when I kinda wish I could be someone like Akabane (Dr. Jackal) from Getbackers...
Just go out and destroy people when I get bored, or when someone ruins my fun... and do it cheerfully!
...*glance* ...Not, that I'd ever TRY to be a person like that...*glance*... ^_^
id lik to be sakura frm CCS or makoto frm the girl who leapt thro time, or princess tutu frm princess tutu - cos theyre all confident ppl who mak others happy
~x =D x~

Risa from Lovely Complex. She's strong, determined, unwavering, and sticks to her convictions no matter what. Nothing comes between her and what she wants, she doesn't allow anyone to walk all over her, she kicks people's asses time and time again... I could go on and on. ^^
i'd like to like Kyouya-senpai from Ouran High School Host Club, he's cool, collected, good looking, a genius, popular with the ladies, hell yah
and i guess like Sasuke from Naruto, not the revenge against my brother is my life thing, but the cool, calm personality, with those totally sweet red sharingan eyes
I'd like to be like Hei from Darker than Black. I kinda share some characteristics with him. I also like to be like the Count from Gankutsuou (ignore the revengeful side of him).
Lelouch. I'd have as much intelligence, will, and influence as I need to do whatever I want, while still not needing to be completely evil. Sadly, I wouldn't think the Geass comes with it.
Gender aside, sometimes I wish I could be a little more like Akari from Aria. Her appreciative attitude and contagious good mood spreads to everyone around her, and always manages to cheer me up when Im watching. Having that kind of effect on people sure would be nice.
To be able to play Go like Sai from Hikaru no Go would be great (or Touya or Shindou or almost anyone from the anime - yeah, my skillz at Go are pretty lame).
First, Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club, because he's over-the-top and fun to be around. Then, Spike from Cowboy Bebop, because he's cool and collected but uses force when he needs to. Finally, Light from Death Note, because he's intelligent and can think of any scheme that will get him out of trouble.
