Charismatic personages

Let's look in the dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy of the language and we will find this:

charisma.
(Of the lat. charisma, and this one of the gm. , of , to please, to do favor).
1. m. Special aptitude of some persons to attract or to fascinate.
2. m. Rel. Free Don that God grants to some persons for the sake of the community.

There it is not at all. I remain with the second meaning realizing a small change: Free Don that God grants to some personages for the sake of the community. And if, since you can imagine I am speaking about a concrete community, the community jugópata.

I believe that, before beginning, it is ready must be grateful to a 14-year-old girl this post has been inspired. This girl is, for more signs, my niece. Teaching him another day the demo of Heavy Rain to stop deciding if he was buying the game or not (it still had my doubts, but it is already in the shelves hoping that it should finish the Bioshock 2), after playing two parts of the demo, it released one of these lapidary phrases with which occasionally I surprise someone a fistful of minor than years I: "the first uncle is much more charismatic“. Not at all that him to answer on this matter. Clear and concise.

And this phrase led me to thinking that it is true, that there are personages who are simply charismatic. Why?. Since I do not know it. I believe that the charisma is something slightly measurable of objective form. It is possible that I look alike to my someone charismatic and to you not, but there are some personages who admit few discussion in this sense. And on them, I am going to do this small list. There is no order for importance, not chronologically not anything similar, simply I enumerate them as they come to my mind. I do not believe that it is a very extensive list (I have the habit of doing you are ready without thinking them earlier and that should remain as spontaneous as possible). There are not all those who are, the list would be endless, but if that are all those who are. To your free imagination I leave that in the comments each one is saying which they are the personages who, for each one, are more charismatic in the history of the video games and who do not appear here.

NATHAN DRAKE

I suppose that it is the first one that occurs to me for being more recent that I have known. We do not speak about Uncharted as video game, I speak about Mr. Drake. This type chulito, that does not seem to like to the women but that ends up by taking them of street, which always tries to do the correct thing, which receives sticks stacks and which is not immortal, that even needs that they take it to a Tibetan town to treat it with strange potions. Nothing of steroids not of hours and hours of gymnasium. A type with a normal, but determined and adventurous aspect. With fears but with decision. I believe that it is the paradigm of the charisma.

RAPTURE

It costs, I skip enough to the torera the definition of the dictionary, but it is not going to be the last time in this list. Rapture is neither a person, nor even personage. It is a city. And nevertheless it has a tremendous aptitude to attract or to fascinate and undoubtedly it has done also a big benefit to the community. This idea of a city at the bottom of the sea, this Big Daddys, Spicers and Little Sister, these lounges rococo, these columns, the omnipresent messages of his creator Andrew Ryan, this musician, these strange radio messages … In agreement that is neither a person nor personage but it is more fascinating and attractive than many sex-symbol of the real life.

GUYBRUSH THREEPWOOD

Guybrush Treepwood, again, an atypical adventurer. A weak and ungraceful chavalillo with desire of turning into a hardened pirate. Ready to there crash the whole grog that it was necessary to have to see if finally beard and hair was coming to him to go out in breast. Capable of facing all kinds of pirates, alive or dead, after any supposed legendary treasure. Very easily infatuated, although without realizing very well which it is the love that is convenient for him. With imagination to answer any insult that they should pierce in the face with other even more ingenious one and verbally aggressively. A legend between the legends.

SONIC

It costs, Sonic is a small and blue hedgehog. He does not speak much that we say, his only virtue is to run like a madman and to turn into a ball to gain speed top. His big treasure there are a few yellow rings that, also, I lose constantly whenever it commits a small error. It is not that the qualities abound in that we usually hope in the personages that we usually call charismatic. But nevertheless it takes years and years several generations of jugópatas loving. And this is the key of the charisma. To have one nondries that queseyo that bewilders million persons, despite having led games swill. His charisma survives.

SOLID SNAKE

It could not leave aside one of the personages who more have spoken in the history of the video games. Already from the long chats that one was giving across the CODEC with all his assistants and enemies of the first Metal Gear of PSX, up to the talks that it has already gone released of living voice in the later deliveries, more the thoughts quantity that we have heard him thanks to the voices in off, I believe that there will be nobody of whom more we know in the history of the video games. And in spite of everything, it continues without losing this air solitary and not known from the first delivery. Only to hear his name, many hair puts itself of top.

THE VILLAIN OF THE LAST SCREEN

Be called as it is called, the aspect has that G-string, we know what we know about him, he is always the personage most waited by any jugópata of pro. It can have tentacles or a shotgun in every arm. It is possible that it wears standing 200 and is capable of crushing you without you going so far as to see it in its entirety. Perhaps to conquer it have to change the control of control of place to cheat him. Perhaps he waits for you That a giant ship of which they should salt ships of that there go out ships that shoot you … should Be as it is, it is something for that you always wait in practically any game. They are with more or less individual charisma, but the entity “Monster of the last screen” is already of if a charismatic personage.
