vilakinsDay 5: Favourite male character
You know the answer to this one: Vila of course!
My favourites in other series have usually been aliens or androids (Spock, Data, Vir, G'Kar, pretty much the whole cast of Farscape), so Vila seemed to be an outlier, but it occurred to me recently that I go for characters who don't fit the norm, like Sheldon Cooper, Wash and Kaylee from Firefly, and Jett Reno. If they're male, then they're not typically so.
Vila stands out in Blake's 7 for being nervous, often openly scared, kind, non-violent, and very funny with it, someone who defies the B7 universe by being himself. He's also the only character who drove me to write for him, because he deserved a lot better than he got.
All the questions are on Tumblr.
