Can you guess the character?

I've been following along with the Future of Storytelling course provided by iversity, or as they call it, a MOOC (Massive Open On-line Course). As you might have guessed, it's a big course that anyone can join on the Internet, and like all courses has hours of on-line content, interviews and lectures, and weekly homework in the form of creative tasks. Last week we had to describe our all time favourite story from memory (I went with Danny the Champion of the World) and this week I've written a character profile for one of my favourite TV characters. Can you guess who I've written about? Click the word cloud to enlarge.


Wordle: Guess the TV Character 

Think you know? Find the answer below!

The second question asked; what makes this protagonist worth following through a whole series of episodes. What is it that HOOKed you? 

I like that this character doesn't take c**p from anyone. He's a bit of a contradiction in that he's adamant that he's nothing like his father yet in trying to uphold the law he breaks most of the rules in the book. He's also got relationship issues and can't seem to hold a girl down. I empathise with him on that one. He's also cool in the way he always wears his cowboy hat and walks about as if he owns the place. Underneath it all, is a very complex man. He proved himself willing to put others first but must open up about his true feelings for his father. Perhaps he'll do that in season five...

Worked it out? See below...
