Based on what I talked about on the live podcast today. Pick a character from each Trek series you identify most with.
Here's my list:
TOS: Spock
TNG: Data
DS9: Bashir
VOY: Tom Paris
ENT: Trip
For me:
:2cents
TOS: McCoy
TNG: Captain Picard
DS9: Quark
VOY: Neelix
ENT: Hoshi
Wow.. this is tough
TOS: Scotty - Lots of pressure but somehow pulling off miricles
TNG: OBrien - In the background but always there when needed
DS9: Rom - Bullied a lot but when push comes to shove, can stand my ground
VOY: Kes - Quiet, strong but always knowing that there is more to my life
ENT: Trip - Good ol' country boy, hard working and able to solve problems quickly
TOS: Kirk
TNG: Ensign Ro
DS9: Dax
VOY: B'Elanna Torres
ENT: Trip
TOS- Kirk
TNG- Riker
DS9- Evil Bashir
VOY- Paris
ENT- Tuucker
Now I have to put my Spock ears on and really think about this.
TOS: Dr. McCoy
TNG: Wesley Crusher (for real!)
DS9: Jake Sisko
VOY: Harry Kim
ENT: Hoshi Sato
I know TOS forwards and backwards, and so Bones was an obvious choice for me, although I can identify with other characters from TOS. McCoy had that gruff exterior at times but he was someone I know I would admire and respect based on DeForest Kelley's sincere portrayal.
For TNG I picked Wesley because he was the odd man out and having served in the military myself, I think I could identify with being out of place like he was at times. I was a nerd-geek in the Marines, Wesley a nerd-geek in Star Fleet. We both did our best, but in the end we knew our futures lay elsewhere.
For DS9 and Voyager I had a tough time with making this list because I am not all that familiar with the characters on those series. Based on what I have seen from those series, I picked Jake and Harry because they are the only two I think I can indentify with.
On Enterprise I identify with Hoshi. The good Hoshi... not the mirror Hoshi. :innocent
My picks would be:
TOS: Spock
TNG: Worf (post-Tasha)
DS9: Odo
VOY: Torres
ENT: T'Pol
TOS: Scotty
TNG: Worf
DS9: Odo
VOYAGER: Neelix
ENTERPRISE: Archer
TOS - Chekov
TNG - Geordie
DS9 - Rom
Voyager - Harry Kim
Enterprise - Hoshi
TOS - Spock
TNG - Picard
DS9 - Rom
VOY - Tuvok
ENT - Tucker

DS9: O'Brien
VOY: Paris
ENT: Archer (though I am still new to ENT)
TOS: Spock
TNG: Wesley
DS9: Bashir

Ooo, this is kinda tough. Now I'm questioning whether my favorite characters are actually the ones I most identify with...
TOS: Bones
TNG: Beverly
DS9: Jadzia Dax
VOY: Janeway
ENT: Trip
I think mine all have a certain level of sarcasm and [maybe] irreverence[?]. In any case, I think they all get away with a lot. ;)
TOS: Spock. I strongly identified with the idea of having a foot in two different worlds, or being the odd man out. Being a military brat, I grew up overseas. Most of my friends outside of school were German or Turkish kids, many of whom hadn't interacted with many Americans (let alone Black Americans. ;) )
TNG: Worf. ^See above. Also, what could be considered a character flaw: I have very little patience when it comes to people who strike me as being disingenuous, close-minded, or lazy. I don't resort to breaking things, but I'm not shy about letting my irritation show.
DS9: Sisko. The first Trek hero of African descent! Growing up idolizing characters who looked nothing like me, having Sisko on DS9 really hit the spot.
VOY: Be'lanna Torres. A half-Human/half-Klingon Maquis agent trying to fit in on a Starfleet Ship? See "Spock" and "Worf", above. ^
ENT: Archer. Driven to lead his crew and get the job done, no matter the personal cost. I'm something of a workaholic; often putting work ahead of my personal life.
I'm trying to change that, but it's HARD.
