Hmmmm....
We can guess who other people would be like? Okay Tarzan Boy, you asked. I would guess you are a cross between a Mulder (X-Files) and Tommy Lee Jones (the more hidden part). Am I even close?
As for me, I am like Bo Duke crossed with Hyde from That 70's show.

My favorite fictional character is Axl Rose, but the one I want to be the most is Neo from the Matrix. I'm not sure I can explain why; I'm not that big a fan of the movie, I don't think his girlfriend is attractive, I know intellectually that wanting to be Keanu Reeves is not very cool, etc. But something in me wants to pull out two gigantic firearms from underneath my black trenchcoat and blast a room full of bad guys into goo.

The one fictional character who embodies all the personality traits I believe myself to have, is Xena: Warrior Princess.
She was betrayed by someone she loved, physically abused, and her whole family and all her friends had turned against her at one point. She survived, made new (better) friends, and eventually her family came around again. She went from being self-centered "all for me" to a nice person who helped and protected those weaker, and less fortunate than herself. This is somewhat of a parallell to what I've been through. There were several episodes that helped to inspire me to get out of my abusive relationship as well.
I know the character died at the end of the series, and I have not yet seen the episode. But I understand from talking to others that she considered her "work" in this life to be complete.
Let me think about others before I post who anyone else seems to be.

Hey, come to mention it, I just noticed that I listed my favorite fictional character as "Axl Rose."
Actually, now that I think about it, that's still a pretty good answer.

A character called Croaker in Glen Cook's wonderful Annals of the Black Company series. I'm not sure why really... he could be a nasty guy when he wanted to be, but he was very decent at heart.

Austen only wrote three characters, but she recycled them endlessly.
