Who'd be your ideal lead character?

My ideal character would be anyone besides a blond teenager. No offence intended to anybody who might match that basic description.

Preferably a dude, simply because I can relate to the character more.
Name could be oh, I dunno, Mike. With two trusty wiener dogs at his side and a habit of drinking too much and doing a bunch of stuff that he can't remember the next day.

He would be on an epic journey to land a good job and make a decent living in a messed up world where it seems all but impossible. He would encounter like-minded people and team up with them to fight the corrupt government and restore the dark lands back to how it was in the 1990's.
