Any of the Minds from Iain M. Banks Culture series, because that would mean the Culture was real and I want to live there.

I guess for a specific one, maybe the Arbitrary? That one seems pretty chill and knows where Earth is:

Also while I'd been away, the ship had sent a request on a postcard to the BBC's World Service, asking for 'Mr David Bowie's "Space Oddity" for the good ship Arbitrary and all who sail in her.' (This from a machine that could have swamped Earth's entire electro-magnetic spectrum with whatever the hell it wanted from somewhere beyond Betelgeuse.) It didn't get the request played. The ship thought this was hilarious.

Robin Hood, but modernized as a 21st-century hacker type so that he can cope in today's world. But I'd still like him to look like he belongs in an edgy 90s movie, complete with green tights, for authenticity's sake.

Elliot (Mr Robot)

God.

Specifically the version of God that is simultaneously all good, all knowing, and all powerful.

Were our universe created by such a being, evil could not exist: our reality would be very, very, very different compared to the dumpster fire that we all get to experience.

Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They're far more interesting.

Interesting definitely, but idk about actually living under that lore... Top boss God is a horny mofo that'll stick it in anything with a hole, with or without consent, sometimes immediately after shapeshifting into a bull or something; and all of the other gods are some degree of petty or mischievous.

...which honestly is kinda how life is under the US government, so... pass!

Luthen Rael from Star Wars Andor. We need people like him right now.

Samuel Vimes commander of the Ankh-Morpork city watch (and Detritus so people have no choice but to do as he says).
