If there is one thing humanity has created that is worth holding onto (and there may only be one thing), it is coffee. At this point, our society runs on the stuff. Unfortunately, some of the most iconic characters in games have yet to embrace this magic brew. Which, if we're being honest, seems extraordinarily cruel.

From the sleepy to the moody, certain characters are just obviously missing out on this magical elixir. We're going to delve into the endless opportunities that this chemical addiction could provide some of our favorite fictional characters. Finally, these characters could face the day with the same level of artificially produced energy that the rest of us do!

8 Snorlax, Pokemon ༒

Now, this one poses a bit of a logistical issue. A single mug of java probably isn't going to be enough for the big fella. Snorlax may need to drink it by the barrel. That being said, it would be worth it. Finally, we could put this lummox to work! Gone would be the days when it blocked the road. Instead, it could be clearing the road for us.

Of course, there is a Snorlax in all of us. If coffee was taken from us tomorrow there would be thousands of us collapsed on roads all over. Snorlax very obviously just needs a refreshing vat of coffee so that it too can battle the drudgery of lif🌃e by pumping its body full༒ of caffeine.

7 ജ Minato, Persona 3

Minato Arisato awakens his Persona in Persona 3

Look, we have all been young once, going out late at night, pushing our sleep schedules beyond what our bodies can handle. So we can sympathize with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 3's Minato. But, dude, you shouldn't be falling asleep in literally every class. That seems a little extreme. Now, we would recommend that you stop burning the candle at both ends, but the world isn't going to save itself.

This means that Minato simply needs to take advantage of Japan's booming coffee culture. Seriously, you can't walk six feet in Japan without encountering a vending machine filled with the stuff. Thankfully, Joker would learn from Minato's mistakes, choosing to have an endless supply of the stuff pumped directly into his veins. Like a responsible citizen!

6 ꧒ 🎀Hypnos, Hades

Okay, we get it, the sleepiness is on-theme for Hades' Hypnos. But it is unhealthy to let your work define you, Hypnos. You are so close to the break room. Like, it is just steps away. Waltz in and ask for a cup of coffee. I'm sure they will oblige. I mean, consider who your boss is, you sure as hell (ha) aren't going to be given more free time to get more sleep in.

Also, think of the perks. Given the average temperature of hell, your coffee is likely to stay nice and warm for far longer than average. That isn't the worst concession in the world.

5 Noc🦩tis, Final Fantasy 15

Noctis in Final Fantasy Versus 13 sitting in a car

It is canon that Noctis doesn't get the best sleep in the world. We saw that in the Omen trailer for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Final Fantasy 15. His perpetual bedhead is another dead giveaway. Which adds up, as he does always seem a little out of it, doesn't he?

Some people read it as him being withdrawn, but the evidence is 🐻all there, people. Noctis simply needs to start taking this coffee thing seriously. I can tell you right now, Prompto is getting his coffee! So stop by 💦one of the dozen eerily similar greasy spoons that dot your world and start drinking, Noctis. Also, maybe buy a hairbrush?

4 Meitenkun, Kဣing Of Fighters 15

Meitenkun punches Yuri during his Seikaku Meitengyobu at the Training Stage in The King Of Fighters 15.

Most fighting game characters tend to be pretty amped up. You wouldn't think that any of them would make this list.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:King of Fighters' Meitenkun, on the other hand, is just exhausted. This little dude is fighting sleep more than he is fighting his opponent. And he isn't winning. You need to trade that pillow in for a pot of coffee, Meitenkun. Not only will it help you stay awake, but it will also act as a better weapon. Though, a word to the wise, your ✱new coffee to the face "special move" may get you kicked out of the King of Fighters tournament. Don't worry, Mortal Kombat will happily take you.

3 Kratos, God Of War ꦜ ⛎

Kratos looking down with a sad face in the forest

A lot has been said about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God Of War 2018's depiction of Kratos. But during that entire game, there was one thing I couldn't get out of my mind: this dude needs a cup of coffee. I mean, it all adds up. What does Kratos do during the entire game? Mutter to himself, act irritable, and try to contain his frustration.

That is a classic case of leaving the house without drinking a coffee first. Patience is a virtue, as they say, but the part that is implied is that it is a virtue bestowed upon us by coffee. We have all been Kratos at times in our lives. Like, the one from the 2018, game. Not old-school Kratos. That dude is a horrible monster (one that even a cup of coffee couldn't fix).

2 Sie🍃gward, Dark So꧑uls 3

Dark Souls 3 Best NPCs Siegward

I can't imagine sleeping inside a locked room in the world of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dark Souls 3. Siegward, on the other hand, can be found in the middle of some extremely dicey locales just dozing off. Good lord, Siegward, you are going to get yourself killed! It feels deeply ironic that the man 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:who looks like a giant kettle is the one who needs to start downing more c𝕴offe💃e, but here we are.

To be fair, given how hostile the world of Dark Souls 3 is, we imagine most people are lacking sleep. Clearly, we need merchants selling fewer cracked pots, and more coffee pots.

1 Sonic, Sonic The Hedgehog ও

Look, we all know 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that Sonic has to go fast. It is kinda his thing. So, then, what does Sonic consume to help h𒁏im go fast? The canonical answer is chili dogs &🧸mdash; the one food that is guaranteed to put you on your ass. If Sonic is this fast on an all-chili dog diet, think of how fast he will be when he swaps the dogs out for cups of coffee.

I think we are talking about turning back time levels of speed. Who doesn't want a Flashpoint story arc, but set in the Sonic universe? Get drinking, Sonic. Unless, that is, you don't want to go fast? Prove to us that you aren't a fraud, Sonic. Down this mug and become one of us.
