CALEB JONES, 20
Character: Solid Snake from Metal Gear Solid
Why: “He reminds me of Rambo and is like one (of the) army characters from the action films in the ’80s. Just the nostalgia behind the character I really like a lot.”

ELISE LAMMERT, 20
Character: Lightning from Final Fantasy 13
Why: “There aren’t a lot of female video game characters, and she is probably the most awesomely dressed one.”

LEKAN OGUNTOYINBO, 47
Character: Pacman from Pacman
Why: “Pacman just seems to be really omnipotent. He seems to be able to take down everything in sight.”

MELANIE STEEL, 20
Character: Princess Peach from Super Mario
Why: “Daisy is my favorite princess, but as a character, Peach is better than Daisy because she is classic.”

CHARLES WILSON, 18
Character: Mario from Super Mario
Why: “He does everything. He saves people, he has all the powers, and he basically goes everywhere, which is pretty cool.”
