The Independent Online published a list of 100 favourite fictional characters, chosen by "100 literary luminaries". I find it interesting that almost all Jane Austen heroines are on there (not her heros, though). The answer I liked most was: "God. Polymorphic, unpredictable, unaccountable; omnipotent yet negligent, kind yet vicious. Suitable to any genre or period. Able to hold centre stage in plot, or work subtly in deep background. Never requires a deus ex machina. A character you can immerse yourself in, forever."

Hm. Kinda sounds like Dumbledore, doesn't he? Especially the "omnipotent yet negligent" bit.

I was thinking of the Angel of Destruction, with a big fiery sword and huge wings. Smiting the heathens ;-)
