Godzilla, for his 'Don't give a damn' attitude.
Sander Cohen, for his artistic flare.
Mothra, for her ambition to help out where ever she can.
Battra, since he's just evil Mothra.
Barney Calhoun, cause he's so damn smooth. This doubles up for Steve McQueen and James Dean as well.

I don't have an idol per se; that being said, if you were to ask almost anyone who knew the both of us, they would say I'm just like my father.
This isn't intentiona; I have traits that I eminate, and some of the more obvious ones happen to be traits my father eminates, as well (mild lack of social skills, powerful sense of right and wrong, genuine desire to do good, what some would call a terrible sense of humor). I also happened to inheret my father's uncanny intellect, which makes me even more like him.
That isn't to say I am like him; my father is much more inclined to violence than I am, and is much less anti-social than I am. In terms of sheer IQ, he is also massively more intellegent than I; he is most defanately possessed of a genius-level intellect, and more than one person has stated to me that it is well over 200. He also speaks in a different way than I do, regarding words; our tones in any given situation will be nearly identical, but the way I says something will be much longer. My father is also much more interested in science than I.
There are other people; I didn't inherit my trademark Logic from my father, but rather my grandfather, as well as a sense of discipline that I seemed to pick up along the way. Most of who I am, though, comes from my father.
Does that answer your question?

Hey now- Jesus, even out of a religious context, was a person of high morals who did a great deal of good for the society he lived in. I don't think that remark Anarchemitis made was even remotely inflammatory.mark_n_b post=18.74481.836206 said:
Argh, beat me to it. The way that man tackles anything in his life is inspirational. It's either 100% or not at all.Jaythulhu post=18.74481.836310 said:
To round off the trinity of personal icons I have Jesus, who also had a really radical way of living life and Dustin Kensrue of Thrice, who's keen and insightful mind is only matched by his musical ability.
Joanna Russ, Ursula LeGuin, and Pat Barker, the first for her combo of anger and wit, and the other two for their compassionate imaginations.

Oh well
I have two:
Gabriel Van Hellsing
Mahatma Gandhi
My ideal end of personal evolution would be the love-child of Che Guevara, M.C Escher, Terry Pratchett, Angela Gossow, Steven Hawking and Justice Michael Kirby with the addition of Hitler's public speaking ability.
You can take my admiration for all except the last as given. Fuck Hitler, I just envy his power over crowds.
