Rebirth of Character Love Meme

[caiusbackup]

Awhile back, cereta, I believe it was, started the character love meme. And it feels like my fandom could use some love currently, so I'm bringing it back.

Give me a character (hopefully a character you know I've at least heard of, and preferably like!). I will give you at least 100 words about why I love that character, and then give *you* a character, so you can tell me why you love *them*. (Unless I owe you from the previous iteration of the meme, in which case you get a freebie.)

Oh, Vril. He's a genius! And also, a lot younger than he looks--and horribly, horribly uncivilized. It's a wonder he came out with any empathy for other sentients at all, considering his upringing first in a tube and then as his father's lab assistant. And all the humane teaching he *got* was from a Durlan he kept as a pet--no wonder he tends to regard the world as inferiors.

For all that, though, he's better than both his (evil) father, and his son, who actually is/WAS a hyperintelligent, undercultured baby. He uses his powers for good, so we can, generally, root for him, even as everyone *around* him is driven to dispair--though also, of course, to doing his will.

He also has screwed up sexual tension with all SORTS of exciting people, including Lobo. And how can you not love the character arc of a guy who can say, in a domestic scene, "You should have considered whether you wanted kids before you raped and murdered me"?!
