Clementine from The Walking Dead

In The Walking Dead video game, Clementine is an 8-year-old girl who finds herself alone in the zombie apocalypse. Under the protection of Lee Everett, she adjusts to this new reality, but holds onto her father’s baseball cap to remember her family.

Chell from Portal

In the Portal games, Chell is essentially a lab rat for Aperture Science, performing tests under the supervision of the AI bot GLaDOS. It’s not long before Chell sees her chance to escape the testing facility using her portal gun.

Nathan Drake

In the Uncharted series, Nathan “Nate” Drake is treasure hunter with an everyman personality and a wardrobe to match. Game publisher Naughty Dog based him on a combination of Johnny Knoxville and Harrison Ford, and they got the scoundrel down pat.

Elena Fisher

In Uncharted, Drake meets his match in Elena Fisher, a strong-willed and spunky journalist. She may be a love interest, but with her smarts and fighting prowess, she’s no damsel in distress.

Pee-wee Herman

Played by Paul Reubens, Pee-wee Herman is a cheerful, child-like character who surrounds himself wacky gadgets and quirky neighbors. That’s not to say he doesn’t have a darker side — when he doesn’t get his way, he loses patience and drops devastating bombs like “I know you are but what am I?”

Brother Mouzone

In The Wire, Brother Mouzone is a silent but deadly enforcer who uses his Walther PPK/S pistol and book learning in equal measure. He’s called down from New York City to settle a drug dispute in Baltimore.

Buckethead

Buckethead is one of the greatest guitar players in the world – as a solo artist, as a member of Guns n’ Roses, and as a collaborator with the likes of Iggy Pop and Les Claypool. He’s also one of the weirdest guitarists, best known for wearing a fried chicken bucket on his head.

TF2 Scout

In Team Fortress 2, the Scout is your typical messenger: quick, snarky, and a lot tougher than he appears. He likes to inflict damage with his baseball bat and escape before the opponent knows what hit him.

TF2 Spy

In Team Fortress 2, the Spy often finds himself behind enemy lines but stays cool under pressure. He uses disguises, fakes his own death, and even turns invisible, all for a chance to backstab his enemies.

Speed Racer

Speed Racer is a boy who, not too surprisingly, loves to race cars. He wears a blue shirt with a yellow G for his Japanese name “Go”, and a white helmet with a red M for his last name Mifune – one step above having your name written in your underwear. Go Speed Racer, Go!
