Anyone else obsessed with fictional characters?

Yes, all of my special interests have been fictional characters.

Immediately after seeing the movie Jaws when I was in school, I became obsessed with the character of Captain Quint. I even got a Penn Senator 16/0 trolling reel just like the one used in the movie. I thought Robert Shaw, who played that character, was an incredible actor. I can remember doing a biography of him for 8th grade social studies when the teacher told me he had died. I was upset and cried. To this day I regard him as the greatest actor who ever lived.

I get obsessed with fictional characters too, I "fall in love" with them, I want to live in their world. There are periods of my life I'm quite dreamy and I start to feel the real people is so boring, disappointing, bland.

I think it's because in the movies and series the most complex and interesting characters are never the average NT, they are really complex. But in the real world it's difficult to find these complex people, the logic of the statistics. There are more average NT personalities than "genuine-cool-deep" personalities. In the real world we don't have a lovely scripwriter who "catches" the most interesting ones for us either.

MEEEEEEEEE!

YES! When I was a kid, Timon the meerkat was a major obsession for me.

Most of my obsessive interests involve fictional characters.

I love this site. I've been lurking around here for about a week now and just signed up, but so many of these things are just so hard to resist agreeing with...
I've been obsessed with characters from "The Lion King", Pokemon, Harry Potter, Glee, and a couple of original characters I came up with, among other things. The Pokemon era was actually the best because at the time most of the boys my age were about half as obsessed with it as I was; I got to somewhat fit in for a while. Nowadays I keep myself from talking about it with anyone else by writing excessively long fan fictions that I will never, ever post. My record so far is a little over 350 pages long.

I have had multiple character obsessions for as long as I can remember. I was obsessed with Scar from The Lion King for the longest time, and then I was heavily fascinated by Goliath from Gargoyles. (Still am to some degree)

Currently my fictional character special interest is Tygra from the new Thundercats reboot.

Yes, quite. I've often become depressed when I've exhausted my ability to "interact" with my favorite characters (i.e. watching all available episodes of a TV show), and I go into a withdrawal. I'll begin to measure the people in my life against the character, and they always come up short. It takes me a while to reason with myself and figure out that A) I wouldn't like someone like the character as much in real life, or B) the character is an exaggeration and no like person exists.

Fun question.
I don't quote them but do make up situations in my head with Star Trek characters. I sort of live in their world, and oddly enough the plots I create aren't always positive. I have no idea why.

But I am obsessed with fictional Star Trek characters. Any Trekkies out there who like to talk about Star Trek, favorite characters,etc, please feel free to PM me.

Tintin! and his Snowy dog!! But only since about 1986

Sometimes my obsession changes from week to week. There are certain characters that stay at the top of my list like Batman, Spawn, and James Bond. I often find myself obsessed with a wide variety of characters. Everything from Star Trek: The Next Generation to Seinfeld. I have even met some NT's that have huge interests in characters, but not usually not as extreme as people with AS like us!
