Jean-Claude. I have an absolute weakness for undead bastardly types. I had such a crush on Lestat before the movies came out (though, I won't knock Stuart Townsend for the eyecandy. Bless his little hipbones, he can't really act, but he sure is pretty), I loved Zillah in Lost Souls, and Damon from the LJS Vampire Diaries books. And then there was Evil-Leather-Pants Angel and Just Plain Evil Spike in BtVs. Undead + bastard (Evil is optional) = le swoon to me. So, Jean-Claude with his le Francais pretty talk and Machiavellian machinations, I just have to love the guy. I like how he keeps at the heroine and switches tactics when she shoots him down. I like how he does something unexpected every now and then to surprise Anita and she winds up thinking more of him because of it.
I really liked that scene in Bloody Bones where he was in the tub and explaining how he was a whipping boy.
I love Edward for just being a sociopath that thought killing people was "too easy" so that's why he switched to preternatural creatures. I like that he's called Death, and that he can bring a flame-thrower to a party. I love a character that will have the resolve to torture one of his so-called friends. Really, that earns major brownie points in my book. I mean, anyone can torture a stranger. It takes some real guts to sit down and pull the fingernails off of someone you know and like. I like the fact that he's honest enough for his motives when teaming up with Anita. Something like, "I figure, I get to kill more people if I help you."
Screw money, this is a guy that genuinely likes his job.
I love the villains. They try to have motives other than, "WHEE! LOOK AT ME! I'M SO DAMNED EVIL! What? Hero? Okay - minions, go kill it." My favourite was Seraphina - simply because she made Anita actually want to turn to the Dark Side. I love a reasonably sympathetic villian, someone that can be so reasonable that the hero won't see the situation as mere black and white, something that will muddy their ethics and screw with their head. I love Seraphina for that.
I am a chamption of the Corruptors. Ever since they turned up, they're just plain awesome in my book. They're those vampires that can rot and reform, the ones that terrorised Jason. I just love the idea of something that could decay on will and turn what could be a standard sadistic batard into a disgustingly aweful and truly terrifying sadistic bastard. On the RPG scene, I'm usually the first one to volunteer bad guys of this kind, and if there's a chance, I'll even write for Morte d'Amour - the soudre de sang of the Corruptors. He's a footnote in the books, so I can pretty much play with him whatever way I like, and I like to think that I've come up with something genuinely creepy and evil.
I also support the Corruptors because they're very anti-All Things Belle Morte. Because it's just not enough to fuck with the heroes because they're the heroes. You have to fuck with them in every way possible.

Man, I'm such a fangirl at heart.
