OK this sounds good, some of my faves would be-
Samanosuke (Onimusha games)
Lu Bu (DW series)
Solid Snake (MGS series)
Dante (DMC series)
CJ (San Andreas)
Heihachi (Tekken)
Jan Templar (Killzone)
Cloud (You know, I chose Cloud simply because he is the lead character from the most successful one, not because i'm a mad 7 fanboy)
