I love characters like the Doctor and Alucard.

((This is me rambling. I didn’t proofread this or nothing. I’m just gushing about awesome characters.))
They’re like god-level characters that feed off of chaos. And the best part is, they feed off of chaos because it’s the only thing that does it for them.
Alucard, who has been around for I-don’t-know-how-long has gotten bored. He not only willingly serves the Hellsing Estate, heexcitedlyserves it. There has been no one to match him for so long that he takes his position as Sir Integra Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing’s own personal gun just to get his kicks. He lets his opponents tear him apart before he pulls himself together and (probably literally) gives them hell.
My favorite part about Alucard is his relationship with Sir Hellsing. He acts as a completely humble and loyal servant. Hellsing’s dog. But he’s constantly pushing her buttons, trying to get her to snap and show weakness as his master. Or maybe he’s just setting her up to impress him with her strong will. When the time comes for Alucard to get a little extra dirty, like when he has to kill some humans that get in his way (the usual targets are ghouls and vampires and such) he gives Sir Hellsing a call. He goes on this monologue about how he is completely and totally aimed and ready to kill anything that stands in his way and all he needs is Hellsings order. He practically taunts Integra, trying to get her to show a little sympathy for the humans she is about to set him off on. And every single time she snaps and barks at him to stop mocking her and kill them all, search and destroy. And she never forgets to remind him of his place beneath her.
And then there’s the Doctor.
This 1100-some-odd year-old mad genius time traveler guy. I could go on forever about him, but I’ll try to be brief.
He’s the cause of the most horrific end to a war ever and he spends the rest of his remarkably long life running away from the choice he had made. And the worst part about it is that the choice he had made has unraveled and the threat of war is back. So now he’s stuck with the consequences of that decision and the decision didn’t even carry through.
He runs around acting like a child, trying to distract himself from that one big regrettable event and all the smaller ones he has caused since.
He draws himself towards trouble because he figures he’s clever (and he is) and he can fix it (he usually does) and it’ll pay for what he’s done in the past (nope). Half the time he just puts himself in yet another horrible catch22 decision. Save one person or race and you condemn another.
I think my favorite part about the Doctor is that he’s pretty much this creepy old man in a big white van with FREE CANDY spray-painted on the side. He runs around in time and space looking for a companion (usually a girl) who is frustrated and confused and bored enough to join this mad man in a box on an adventure through time and space. A couple season later, he loses them. It’s not that he gets them killed on these adventures, it’s just that, for whatever reason, they need to part ways. So he’s on his own again. He’s bored and lonely, so he finds another little girls life to fuck up. Amazing adventures through time and space are not walks in the park. What I’m trying to say, as simple as I can, is that the Doctor is a mad old man who lures little girls into a string of dangerous and frightening events for his own amusement.
I wrapped that up because I’m getting bored and I can’t think of much else to say anyway. Basically, these, and other kinds of characters, excite me.
