I'd have to say my favorite is probably Gino. I really love his relationship with Edmund (not to mention Edmund's relationship with his father), and normally I'd say that Edmund is my favorite, but I think Gino really deserves it. This storyline seems rather Avengers-esque to me, and Gino strikes me as a wonderful combination of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers; he has such an amazing potential to lead a group of extraordinary people, yet he is still subject to the same failings and feelings that everyone else experiences - perhaps even to a greater extent. His expanded potential for greatness also expands his potential for catastrophic failure, and this makes the story more exciting and his character more complex.

Upon the Nile I was born. During a time of peace...

I'd have to say that my favorite in the manga is Edmund the Menswear Salesman. Lol Yes, I had to use Don Kuros call of him. I like Edmund because even though he seemed like an old coot with a stick up his bum originally (I'm talking about when the only thing known about him was the few things he said while you were at the shop... Dang I feel old for saying that) but he turned out to be a laid back gentlemen always willing to help and protect those he cares about. And while doing all that joke around when it is appropriate.

That's pretty much all why. lol

... Now the peace is gone. And all I can see is the violence.

Not that I complain.
