I'm full of questions for you all this week, so expect more Community Polls on Wednesday and Thursday!
What video game character do you think is closest to you in terms of personality?
This one is tough. I don't know who I am like. I wish I was like Mario though -- endlessly optimistic with a can-do attitude. 
I think I could relate to Zidane the most. Optimistic and helpful, yet still finding where I belong and how I fit in.
ah, that's good. Final Fantasy IX is my jam. I feel like VIVI a lot.
Vivi was so awesome.. I always wondered though.. Did he die in the end? He suddenly disappears and they're adament on how his life cycle was meant to be short.
I don't remember. It's been years since I saw the end of that game. I play it every once in a while but don't get to the end. Now I'm curious.
Going to pretend you mean the headbutting French soccer player for my own amusement and say that I am most like Salem the cat from Sabrina the Teenage Witch. They had to have video games made of that shit when TGIF was popular, right?
Whichever one you think is the most awesome. 
On a more serious not, I don't really feel like I identify much with most game characters. I feel like comic book characters are so much better in this regard. Most of them were built for nerds like us to identify with someone of greatness.
That being said - Spider-Man, all day. He's a little unsure of himself, but has good intentions and is always trying to help his fellow man. Unfortunately, it all blows up in his face pretty often and it's mostly due to circumstances outside of his realm of control. Also, he's sharp-witted and quick to spout off a good one-liner. He's been in plenty of video games, so I think he totally counts.
Gordon Freeman... or I have no idea.
Vanilla, from SteamBot Chronicles in the PS2
Kellam from Fire Emblem: Awakening. I'm big, but easily ignored.

Who the hell posted this picture?
lol
I like to think I'm like Jade from BG&E.
I'm like Toad. I like to help people. I'm stronger than what I look. Some find me cool while others find me annoying.
Joker from Mass Effect. Mainly because I deflect everything with humour and don't like using my legs. Well, he's a cripple, I'm just lazy, but you get the point. Not a fan of banging a robot though, just saying.
I feel like I *wish* I was more like Ulala from SC5 (or better yet- Kitty Nakajima all the way!)
Really though, I think I'm Selphie from FFVIII. Booyaka!
Todd Snap from Pokemon Snap. I only wish I had a Professor Oak in real life to show my photos to.

I'm kind of a mix of a lot of characters. Off the top of my head I'd have to say Locke from FFVI, Yangus from DQVIII, Zidane from FFIX, ... just realized all these guys are reformed theives,lol. "I am not a theif!" (in my best Nixon impersonation voice.)
Master Chief: someone who'll fight against the most insane odds in any un-winable situation for those that will not even know it was done.
What? Stop looking at me like that!
What a damned good question... If it had to be one person, it'd be Nathan Drake (totally not my choice). I went as him last year for NYCC, mainly because I couldn't think of anyone, and everyone aroudn me suggested him because I fit his personality. Sooooo, yeah, I'm totes not conceited, lol.
