Teal'c from Stargate SG1? Granted he's not a perfect match for the husky Ruskie, but personality-wise? Pretty darn perfect. Never seen a goof-ball as enjoyable as that guy in the behind-the-scenes extras.
The question is, what type of character would you want for the MC (I've always referred to the MC as the Scion, because there's an awful lot of Bhaalspawn, but only one who inherits the responsibility to sort out the whole mess).
What type of MC would you want?
My personal favorite? A smart guy with a gift for snark, preferably a rogue or fighter/rogue rather than a mage. A guile hero.
