Honestly, as much as I enjoy characters when I am playing a game, I have a horrible memory and forget about them a week later lol. So despite having played hundreds of WIPs on CoG and itch.io, I can’t remember most of my favourites but I’ll try to list the ones I can think of.
WIPs:
Summary
Charlie from The Ballad of Devil’s Creek. He’s your best friend who has a cool eyepatch and waistcoat, need I say more?
Hades from Fields of Asphodel. For someone who is as equally(?) powerful as Zeus and is technically your husband, he is surprisingly sweet and so incredibly thoughtful. I can’t believe no one had snatched him up before our character came along.
Commander Kell from In Stasis and In Space. He’s a super tall alien with red eyes and cares about you more than anyone else, what’s not to love?
Kent from Mind Blind. He’s a grumpy but secretly soft dog dad, surely it’s required by law to love him right?
Lestrade from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Another grump who is secretly soft hearted, who even if you pick rude options and etc will absolutely make sure you are comfortable and well.
Eoin from The Abyssal. I know we haven’t actually got to meet him yet but I just know that I’m going to love him.
Otome Games, Visual Novels and ETC:
Summary
Toru from Seiyuu Danshi. A quick warning if anyone decides to check it out, it’s a 18+ yaoi game that I very much enjoy but it is filled with cliché situations and mild cringe but back to my boy Toru. He is adorable and extremely obsessed with your player character, not in a ‘yandere’ kind of way but like he has a resting bitch face but will blush and internally die if you hug him and would be more happy to receive a old sweater of yours than a brand new and expensive gift and etc. He definitely is not going to be for everybody but I just love him so much.
Quest from Blooming Panic. It’s a game centred around discord and Quest is a moderator on the fan server that your character joins and I honestly don’t know how to describe him lol. He’s a little bit of a nerd, little bit of a bad boy, a little shy and a little confident and so on but honestly, he’s just so endearing and I somewhat regret romancing him first as he ruined the other characters for me. Blooming Panic is free and I highly recommend you all check it out, it’s worth it.
Cove from Our Life: Beginnings & Always. I supported the game on Kickstarter and so I obviously expected to like the game but more than that, I really connected to Cove. He’s one of the very few realistic feeling characters I’ve encountered, he doesn’t always say the right thing or react in the ‘correct’ way but I know him and I want him to be happy. He’s another character I don’t really know how to explain but love anyways haha.
Caine from Tailor Tales. He has so many qualities that I dislike, he’s short, rude, makes assumptions and is incredibly petty but his storyline is the strongest and most realistic in Tailor Tales, so far. I don’t know if this counts as spoilers but just know he has various reasons for acting the way he does, he has a ‘girly’ hobby, he’s short, he has been bullied for most of his life and he’s currently depressed. Despite it sounding like I hate him, I genuinely enjoyed his romance and while I don’t approve of his choices nor do I forgive some of them, he another character that I just want happiness for.
Ezra/Elle from Scout: An Apocalypse Story. He is gender flippable but I figured it counts since I’ve only played him as male but he is your ‘best friend’ archetype who is observant, protective and a little cold to others but sweet to you. I didn’t expect to like him so much but while he does still have the same qualities as other RO’s of the ‘best friend’ archetype, he different in the sense that he doesn’t need our character but wants them instead, if that makes sense. I often dislike that archetype because of how often they are needy human beings and that I just feel pity for instead of wanting to date them and Ezra is not like that at all.
I never hear anyone talk about him (or the game at all), but it’s in my top five interactive fiction games 
the different reactions that the ROs show (especially Eden) depending on the personality of the player are amazing! Though I did find the stats a bit confusing at first, the writing is so good that it didn’t matter much 
Do you remember what it was called or what it was about? I’m so excited! 
). In an already amazing game, he was definitely one of the highlights.
