1. Gordon Freeman: he never has to say much (anything?) to get his point across, smart enough to get through his PhD, pick up and use alien weapons with no difficulty, plays "head-crab tennis" with a crow-bar and commands the respect of everyone around him.
2. Rather than a "want to be" I'll take my second choice as "anyone but" and name Isaac Clarke from Dead Space. Clever, resourceful and SO MESSED UP! Nope, don't want to be that guy!
