Hey, guys and gals. It's your boy Rye "SneakyLizard" Callan. I'm doing yet another countdown. This time, it's something different. It's a list of my top 10 fictional role models. Now, I understand that they are fictional characters, but all children (and most adults) have a character (whether from a comic book, movie, cartoon, video game, etc.) they can easily pick out as their favorite. There are characters out there who model traits like adventure, creativity, and acceptance. Just because they're not "real" doesn't mean their character isn't exemplary! Without further ado, these are the top 10 fictional role models that help me stay on track.

(Keep in mind that there may be spoilers)

#5: Shujinko (Mortal Kombat series)

Shujinko-unleashed by JapaneseAnimeBeetle

This character in the Mortal Kombat series of games taught me something from what I've seen in Mortal Kombat: Deception's Konquest mode. At the end of Konquest mode, Shujinko was deceived into working for a greater good, when he unwillingly brought deception. This is almost similar to the issues I went through on DeviantArt in the past. After realizing the error of my ways, I resolved to make myself a better person on DA by making amends, and I was forgiven, and gained more friends.

#4: Shazam (Injustice: Gods Among Us)

Shazam (Regime) by JapaneseAnimeBeetle

Shazam (Regime Shazam, actually) is on this list for one specific reason. He used to be sided with Regime Superman's One Earth government. However, upon learning that Regime Superman planned to level both Metropolis and Gotham, along with his intentions to invade the duplicate's dimension in retribution for interfering in their world, Shazam was horrified by Superman's plans, calling it crazy and saying they were going too far. In my case, I realized I was going too far with things I said and did. It's like Shazam said "There have to be limits, even on us, especially on us." Because of what I learned, I'm gonna stay out of drama forever. Thanks, Shazam.

#3: The Flash (Injustice: Gods Among Us)

Yet another character from Injustice: Gods Among Us is on this list, this time being The Flash (Regime Flash, actually). In Flash's case, after Shazam got murdered by Regime Superman, it confirmed The Flash's belief that they were no longer doing the right thing. In my case, I was horrified by what I was becoming on DeviantArt, that I deleted my hate art, since it was not in my character (for lack of better words). This action led to lots of users on DA forgiving me for my actions and becoming friends with me, and they now care for me. The Flash has taught me a very valuable lesson. Getting involved in drama is not what I signed up for, and I thank him for that.

#2 Mega Man X (Mega Man X series)

Now here's a character who feels like a very good role model for me, Mega Man X. Why you ask? Well, he's a pacifist, which I wanna be, since I now despise violence in real life, especially those damn terrorists (I'm looking at you, ISIS!). I don't wanna live a violent life. I prefer to be a man of peace. My soul must not be corrupted by violence. I wanna live a peaceful life. It's what I was born to do.

#1: Mega Man (Mega Man series)

And the #1 pick goes to Mega Man. Isn't it obvious why? Well, like Mega Man X, he's a pacifist, and I wanna help people to do the right thing. Also, he's like me for the fact that I have a wide range of emotions. I've been through lots of hard times in my life (especially last year and some parts of this year). Also, I remember when I contemplated killing someone I hate, but then I ultimately decided against it (much like in the ending of Mega Man 7, where Mega Man nearly tried to kill Dr. Wily, but ultimately decided against it). Like I said before, I realized that violence is not in my character, and I prefer to be a peaceful soul on Earth. It's who I'm meant to be.


Well, that's all folks. I hope you all enjoyed. As always, feel free to leave your comments down below. I would really appreciate it.
