If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

I think I usually hear this kind of question phrased as which book/film/television world would you live in rather than being a specific character. Why would we want to be a specific character? We already know what happens to them, right?

I honestly don’t know which character I would be if I could pick one. There are quite a lot of book and film properties out there to pick from for just one character.

Maybe, since the question is still a little vague, we get to choose the character we want to be without living through the events of their story. If that’s the case it opens things up a bit, because, let’s be real here, nobody wants to live through the same struggles and hardships most characters go through during the events of their stories.

If I get to be this character while existing in our current world, I would pick someone capable of magic. Maybe Simon from the Dungeons & Dragons movie. Wild Magic sounds like a lot of chaotic fun and could make for great (or disastrous) party tricks.

Yeah, let’s go with Simon.
