I know gamers have favourites when it comes to characters from different franchises. However, what I'm asking isn't if a gamer have a favourite character or loves a character. What I'm asking is have you ever been in love with a video game character in the same way a person falls in love with a human being.
Please note, honesty in this thread should be not only respected but applauded because I know some may feel a bit embarrassed to admit if they do or ever did fall in love with a character.
Announcement: At 7:30pm PST, I will tell my story about the time I fell in love with _____________ from ____:______________.
Before I go and tell my love story, i'm going to warn you that this story contains spoilers as well as some disturbing emotional reasoning. Now lets get to the unconventional love that I developed for my dear E.E.
E.E. (which stands for Emma Emmerich) was a female character that was introduced in the second act of MGS2 and her first appearance in the game did not elicit a "love at first sight" response from my brittle heart. The main character of MGS2 (Raiden) found my soon-to-be-sweetheart Emma in a locker room peeing in her pants. This made me worry at first for the poor girl who seemed like she was terrified to death (Damn you Raiden for your lack of courtesy!).
Long story short, Emma and Raiden were ordered by Pliskin and Emma's estranged half-brother Otacon to escape the 'sinking shell'. This is where my feelings for E.E became more than just a crush. Emma was speaking to Raiden and asked him whether she was cute or not. Raiden dismissed her call for a compliment but I would've blushed if i was there near the pool where Vamp was (apparently) suffocating from a lack of oxygen. It was a beautiful scene that tugged the rusty chords of my heart but little did I know what was coming next.
My sweet and dear E.E. was forced to cross a bridge while being protected by Raiden and Pliskin through sniper riflin' the enemies in order to protect the innocence of dear E.E. Unfortunately......E.E. did not make it through the bridge. That treacherous Vamp took her life (and my love) away by stabbing her causing her to bleed internally. My heart was hurting but hopeful that E.E. would survive......
Now comes the moment where my love of Emma Emmerich fully blossomed. Otacon and E.E. finally reunite in person but under unfortunate circumstances. E.E. confessed her love for Otacon but not the kind of incest-love that you find in your typical Pornhub front page. No, her love for Otacon was deeper than the ocean that Vamp drowned in. She just wanted to have a brother by her side during her life but was prevented that due to Otacon's lack of self-control (spoiler alert: he sleeps with Emma' mother.)
I won't lie: I cried during this moment and her death lasted with me for a long time. My love for Emma Emmerich was as unconventional as the game that introduced her to my life. A Post-Modern Romantic Love Between a Young 25-Year Old Me and the beautiful E.E.

The Story of the Time I Fell in Love with Emma Emmerich from MGS2: Sons of Liberty
Now, some of you may be reading this and thought "OP must be crazy or, at the very least, trolling" or the expected "who?". But believe me when I say this, my affection for Otacon's sister grew the more I learned about her during my times playing Hideo Kojima's masterpiece: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
