TomNook:
Gannondorf, because I would just keep on coming back, no matter how many times I get impaled in the head.

Seriously, after Orcarina of Time... How did he come back...

And... I'd be ... LINK! Most preferably in the Orcarina of Time storyline.

I would be the unnamed NPC that informs the heroes that a large monster has begun to terrorize the town and has unfortunately blocked the pass leading to the next city.

If not that, I would be the unnamed NPC that works in the tavern and sells the heroes booze.

I'd be Selan from Lufia II (Mad props for anyone whose played such blessed gift from the heavens).

Or Axel from Twisted Metal 2 ;-)

I would find it fun to be Scorpion or Sub-Zero from the Mortal Kombat series.

Surprised it took as long as it did to get to Gordon Freeman.

Could I have Master Chief's suit and be someone else, inside it? Ryu Hayabusa maybe? That's probably breaking the rules, isn't it.

I'd want to be the Pirate guy from Sid Meir's, Pirates!

Cause he's just so dashing and handsome and swordfighty!

Another character...hmm...

Morte, from Planescape: Torment. Cuase then I could drive people barmy just by wiggling my forehead and making facial gestures. <clacks teeth> Also I'd get it on with aaaaall the undead ladies.

Also the fact that I'm a floating, talking skull with a great sense of humor...well, I don't see a downside!

I would be the G-Man. Screw doing actually work, I would totally be a transdimensional middleman located in the lowest point in the uncanny valley. Don't forget the power to manipulate time and space, especially when my "client" makes the wrong decision, or when it's advantageous to be nightmare fuel.

Either that or the shopkeep from Links Awakening. Why the fuck didn't the other villagers get pissed off at his retarded shop that only sold three overpriced items, and nominate him to be the one that woke up the Wind Fish. If every boss gave link a reasonable hard time, yet the shopkeep could blast away his health in one blast, that means that the shopkeep is the most powerful being on the island. I guess I'll never understand...

MMORPG quest-giver. I'd really corner the market on lizard heads or whatever.

"Here there be [Lizard head]s, fresh [Lizard head]s, only a silver each! Buy two and get a [Scorpid tail] for free!" =P

I take back my Altaïr idea. I want to be Guybrush Threepwood, mighty pirate. That way I can be sarcastic and make pop-culture references all day long =D

I'd rather like to be a pokemon trainer. I'm horribly generic like that, but who wouldn't like to be freed from public schooling at the age of ten to raise monsters?

Frank West, then I can live my dream of zombie apocalypse related killing rampages! That would be fun....

Possum-Man:
I'd be a generic NPC. That way I could be in almost every game.

Hah, yeh, I'd be a generic NPC. In Halo, it'd have to be the Aussie Marine, in Half-Life, it'd have to be a medic, and in Call Of Duty 4, I'd have to be an SAS.

Or Captain Price. He's just cool.

Altair, quite and reserved but can climb anything and murders like its going out of fashion

I'd be the protagonist of any of the GTA games, talk about freedom

alternatively, Orlandu from final fantasy tactics, just mentioning my name makes enemies flinch in terror from my overpowered game-breaking awesomeness

Sephiroth.

do i need to explain? he just wins.

Navi from OoT.
The possibilities are ENDLESS!

HEY!
LISTEN!
HEY!
LISTEN!...

It's all about the aussie marine

You wouldn't be one of Halo 3's marines voiced by the Firefly cast?

I get a little shiver everytime one of them takes down a Covenant shouting "Piece of go-sa!"

Gordon Freeman or Chell. Even better, a combination of the two. Opening a portal above somebody's head and shooting a cinder brick through it = win.

Nomad the main charater in crysis

I would be my avatar, my name would be Ferdinand Vizral and I would be a professional gentleman theif, who lives in the South of France.

Hm......Ryu Hayabusa, I mean, he's a Ninja! A bad-ass Ninja that dismembers people with insane moves....that says enough

id be serious sam...

Desmond, from Assassins creed. Sure, he may have done nothing in the first game, but I have a feeling they have big plans for him in the sequel...

Oops double post

A Slig. Beating Mudokon slaves looks fun indeed.

Captain Price from CoD4.
His 'stache alone wipes out all competition, with a cigar to top it off.

Revan, from Star Wars, KOTOR. I mean, I get to be a dark lord of the Sith, and keep my devilish handsomeness.

Garrett from Thief.

Definitely Agent 47. Just walk in wearing my (Totaly Fucking Sweet) suit, kill some bastrads and walk out like a gentleman!

Boba Fett because, frankly, who wouldn't want to be the galaxy's most feared bounty hunter?

The King Of All Cosmos!

Hey, why not?

"Cousin Allegro Vincente Amakasan! What were you doing on Earth? Riding on a gigantic Turtle, eating stir fry? I don't know what you're talking about..."

Wormthong:
id be serious sam...

HELL YES

Probably Guybrush Threepwood. Like him, I'm amusing but awkward.
