If you could take a single character out of a piece of media (book, film, TV show, video game, etc) who would it be? (lemm.ee)

They would lose any magical powers they may have had in the book, but anything they are, rather than can do, will stay. For example people from the His Dark Materials world would keep their daemons. You can take them out at any time in the story's plot, but for all other people consuming the media, it will be shown that the character suddenly disappears, with the rest of the plot being affected accordingly. People will notice this happening. The character is not under any sort of control by you once you have taken them out of the story, although they will appear next to you to start with.

Boromir. Right before the arrows start flying. We would just sit at a bar drinking after I'd calmed him down, and we'd read how the hobbits got taken by Orcs anyway and that Sam and Frodo are pretty much doing their own thing.

(We would also have the "Seen Been"/ "Shaun Bonn" discussion, time permitting)

Skip ahead to the last book where the ~~King~~ Steward of Gondor sits on the throne, and then I'll pat Boromir encourangingly on the back, and shove him back into the book so he can connect with his dad again.

I also might throw in some AK-47s for that last battle in the last book, but depends how much I've been drinking honesty

Sean Bean is a stage name. His birth name? Shaun Bean.
