Pick 10 fictional characters you'd have sex with. (was tagged by

1 Aragorn from Lord of the Rings (movies, not books). He is angsty, he is noble, he is hot, and he is wicked with the weapons. Nothing is as sexy as unconscious nobility and goodness. Except for consience combined with mad weapon skills.
2 Anakin Skywalker from Revenge of the Sith: speaking of weapons proficiency. Seriously, angsty blond intense and passionate. Come to Mama!
3 Francis Crawford of Lymond of Dorothy Dunnett's "Lymond Chronicles:" my favorite fictional character of all. Drop-dead gorgeous, fiercely intelligent, uber-passionate and a mess. But only if I was Philippa. Otherwise I'd feel I am just adding to his burden of guilt.
4 Veer Pratap Singh of Veer-Zaara (Bollywood movie): I just love competence (as the rest of my picks would indicate). He is so reliable, and strong, and with a lovely funny streak. Not to mention any woman would want to be loved as much as he loved Zaara. He is not big on words, but the actions...swoooon.
5 John Crichton: of Farscape (scifi series). Blue eyes-dark hair combo, gorgeousness, off-the-wall sense of humor, unbelievable strength of character and the thin edge of insanity. Not to mention his above-all dedication to the woman in his life. He is Lymond in space. And oh baby, would I take him...
6 Earl Thorfinn: of Dorothy Dunnett's "King Hereafter." He is intelligent and noble and so smart. And has quite a way of speaking.
7 Mundinho Falcao: of Jorge Amado's "Gabriela, Clove and Cinamon." He is my favorite Amado male character. An offsping of an aristocratic family who ends up in the small town of Ilheus to forget his hopeless love for his brother's wife, he ends up putting the town upside down, establishing progress and commerce, all the while being charming and useful and right.
8 Robert Locamp: of E.M. Remarque's "Three Comrades." I don't like first person narrative as a rule. But I fell in love with Robbie, the disillusioned WWI veteran who finds salvation with mysterious Patricia, and before the book is over you learn just how much humanity and love is left in him.
9 Ramses Emerson: of Elizabeth Peters' Amelia Peabody series. He is gorgeous, he is an Egyptologist, he is competent and an English gentleman. And he's got the deeply passionate nature under very tight control. Perfect.
10.Ralph Lanyon: of Mary Renault's "The Charioteer." Well, there is a minor problem, as Ralph is gay. But considering the rest of gentlemen on this list would be dead and/or unwilling to cheat on their SOs and are still on the list, I don't see this as a problem. He is an upperclass WWII veteran who is strong, competent, but truly emotionally vulnerable underneath. The tarnished idealist is irresistable. And yeah, I go for passion held in control so tightly one would never know until...
Runner Up: Archie Kennedy from "Horatio Horblower" miniseries. Blond and blue eyed? Check. British? Check. Loyal and funny and warm? Check. Plus damn hot.
"If only I was younger" candidate: Lloyd Dobler from "Say Anything." He really is perfect. But he is 18 or 19 in the movie, so entirely too young.
