    Adam Strange (of course), most protagonists by Heinlein, Rochester in Jane Eyre 2011, Hans Gruber in Die Hard, depends on the time of day.

    Out of all the fictional characters I've seen in movies and TV shows, (including anime) I would say that I strongly identify with:

    Don Draper/Dick Whitman - Mad Men

    ..... That's it.

    I'd add Shane from The L Word if that wasn't such a cliche thing to say since it seems 9/10 lesbians feel the same. And I can't relate to the general sluttiness, but whatevs.
    Seriously, who are you, Person. I've had crushes on Utena, Gintoki, and even Shane a little bit, and not the others you mention probably only bc I don't know anything about them. I seldom watch any shows at all, much less crush on fictional characters, and yet here we are.

    I've always identified with the movie verse John Constantine the most. Then BSD Dazai Osamu (almost to a T). For whatever the reason, it's male IEE's that portray me best.

    Griffith from Berserk
    Satan from Paradise Lost (lol)
    the fictionalized Lawrence of Arabia from the film of the same name (as can be seen from my avatar)

    bear in mind that I absolutely recognize the tragic flaws of these characters in myself

    I would have said Meursault from The Stranger in the past but having read it again, I do not relate to him much anymore.
    While it is easy for me to relate to a character, I would say that I have never strongly identified with any fictional character.
    The kind of character that would fit me would most likely not be very interesting.

    Admittedly, I haven't explored much fiction, but I'll try to identify some characters. They won't all match my type, but I nonetheless relate much, to to them.

    - Master Chief (Halo series)
    - Wander (Shadow of the Colossus)
    - Remus Lupin (Harry Potter movies)
    - Desmond Doss (Hacksaw Ridge)
    - Cinna (The Hunger Games movies)
    - Sarah (The Descent [2006 film])
    - The Iron Giant (The Iron Giant)
    - Erik, the Phantom (Phantom of the Opera)
    - Peter Parker (Spiderman 2 [2004 film])
    - Janna, Jhin, Lucian, Morgana, Soraka, Taric, Yasuo (League of Legends)

    Bill of the Lighthouse from the Pokemon cartoons, very looking far out there into examined vatnage points of end times to summer visage of ocarinas in time blooming of the blue petal house as stars and borders of the scenic veil rush a geyser into teddy grams and oreo cookie sailboats over a mountain of snow!!

    In Snow Way Out, I also kind of relate to Charmander when He seeks to keep everyone warm in the snow dugout in the mountain ice wall of friendship.

    I've never been able to identify too strongly with a character. I always found the idea of the person identifying with the character ridiculous, when it should actually be the other way around. I saw all of the personae that I've encountered as ideas more than I saw them as people. They adorn the core, but they are not synonymous with it.

    The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.

    The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

    Also, both of these characters were pretty close to home for me.

    My wife says I'm very similar to Chandler Bing.
    I personally identify with Toph Beifong, especially with the way I was as a kid.
    I relate to Dana Scully in some ways, as well, especially when I'm being more serious. My wife sees our dynamic as similar to the one Scully and Mulder have, especially since she is inclined more to believe the government is covering all kinds of stuff up and I try to provide more rational explanations based on science and reason, but over time, I've come to be less skeptical of her claims.

    As with previously mentioned characters, the similarities feel superficial.
    Some people see a character and instinctively know they are similar, usually on account of share sociotype, but that's never happened for me where I can say "oh shit! We're totally alike."

    My fiancee always said she felt like Elsa from frozen.

    I remember her saying she related to Arya from Game of Thrones too.

    She said Toph as well @aixelsyd

    I guess I'm in My Sabrina phase right now.

    It seems like there's always rainbow stories with witches.

    I know I'm male as a female character, but Lewis Carroll did design a nice female Alice.

    Being a Meganium aspiring to become a Lugia is always nice as well.

    Game of Thrones - Season 3 Daario Naharis with a bit of Bronn, Ygritte, Khal Drogo, & Robert Baratheon

    The 100 - Charmaine Diyoza with a bit of Raven Reyes and Murphy

    Black Sails - Midpoint between Charles Vane and John Silver


    Closest might be Lestat from Interview With A Vampire (the book, not the movie). Its been a long time since I read that though, I could be off

    I identify most with Sabrina, but 2nd most with Casey from Pokemon, because exuberant fluff and dizzy speculation on the forefront of crazy theatrics and a will of ice shakes the kitten speeder into combinations and rare algorithms.

    Could you argue that a drag queen is a fictional character? If so, Bianca Del Rio. (Yeah, she's been in a few movies as well). Not gonna send a gif, sure you've seen enough of her ugly mug xD

    Spooky from On My Block:



    A bit of Ruby as well:



    Walter White (yeah this one's prolly interesting but I can think quite a lot like Walt at times). No gifs again, you know what he looks like lol.

    Christian from Elite:



    Frenchie from The Boys:



    Coco from Mayans MC:



    I think that's them all to be honest.

    Mr. Gold from Once Upon a Time. I even cosplayed him for Halloween once. How much I identified with him sorta depended on the season since he wasn't terribly consistent. He got redeemed and fell back into evil one too many times for my taste

    I'm watching The Interview rn and James Francos Character acts like me lol.

    The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.

    The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".
