Who/What is your favourite Discworld character?

D.Q

Personally...

Im backing the ever admirable, Esme Weatherwax.

Nichololas

Sam Vimes

Captain Awesome

Rincewind and Sam Vimes. Pity the Wizards don't make more of an appearance outside of the Susan/ Rincewind books.

kittex

Esme for sure.

mawk

depending what book ive read recently its probably sam vimes or DEATH

Nevyn

Nanny Ogg.

Cosmo K

Vetinari for Taoiseach!:cool:

stannis

I'm surprised more people haven't said Death. He is a great character. Vetinari is always enjoyable too, as are the city guards.

anonymous_joe

Vimes. Has to be him.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

rincewind, because he makes me laugh.

dakar

DEATH. With DEATH OF RATS a close second.

Three way tie for me between: Rincewind, Sam Vimes, and Death

paulusdu

Its got to be either Cut-me-0wn-throat Dibbler or Corporal Nobbs, and closly followed by Cohan the Barbarian

Wilko121

Any gnome character, damn they make me laugh..

cyberwolf77

You may have a poiunt there Wilko. Constable Buggy Swires and Wee Mad Arthur whilst short in stature, loom large in my mind when I think of the Discworld.

Slow Motion

Moist Von Lipwig, and any of the Igors!

I must say I have become a bit of a fan of Sam "THAT'S NOT MY COW!!!!" Vimes lately

RossFixxxed

IT USED TO BE DEATH.

That's not my cow!

S.L.F

I miss Rincewind. Hope he's enjoying his job as Professeor of Cruel Geography at UU

I had no idea this was here. Not in all these years.

Gotta be Rincewind.

C.M.O.T. Dibberl and if he;s not the best character i'll cut my own throath.

cyberwolf77

Dibbler's a great character but Moist von Lipwig would own him in five minutes.

Sofiztikated

Its a throw up between:
Sam Vimes
Moist von Lipwig
Vetinari

They are some of the most entertaining characters, with Vimes and Moist being very similar in their interaction with Vetinari.

True, they both undertsand that on some level they don't comprehend Vetinari is pulling their strings and making them his puppets.

Vimes is fully well aware of it.

As soon as I find the relevant book I'll post it.

True he is aware of it, however he can't fight despite his best efforts.

TBH, i think he doesn't want to change the way Vetinari controls everything, but he does like testing how far Vetinari is thinking ahead.

cyberwolf77

That, and Vimes is more concerned with enforcing Justice than running the city.

Guill

William de Worde had vetinari using him like puppet too, maybe vetinari is the best, he knows what everyone is doing and makes it work for him

Indeed, Vetinari is one genius of a juggler.

You sure Goodmountain was a Mr. and not a Miss.

Guill

thats a very personal question:D

cyberwolf77

And not one you just go up to a dwarf and ask either. There's only two dwarves on the Discworld whose genders I'm sure of.

Guill

Beware ever going to uberworld and chatting up a dwarf!
Any who, i have also to take my hat off to albert - for cheating death and all.
