In my opinion these Characters look cool, not sure why

Shadow
Kain
Edge
Pre-Paladin Cecil
The Red mage (FF)
Vivi
Amarent
Freya
Gogo
Leon (FF2)
Galuf
Squall
Seifer
Vincent
Sephiroth
Cloud
Cid
Auron

So my question to you is What makes a Character cool

now i've noticed almost all of these characters, its hard to see their faces (or all of it at least) , maybe that just triggers the word "cool" in my head.


What signifies cool for you?
