While this may sound like quite the serious undertaking, a lot ofElden Ringplayers have used the game’s character creator to make some wacky and interesting characters. From theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles taking onElden Ringin a co-op partyto He-Man powering his way past the game’s bosses, plenty of characters from other IPs have made their way to the Lands Between.
Fans have been going all out withElden Ring’scharacter creatorsince the game first launched in February. While some may argue creating a silly character in a game with such dark and serious lore might detract from the latter, fans of FromSoftware titles have been making weird protagonists since the originalDemon’s Souls.

Even over six months afterElden Ring’srelease, fans are still creating interesting new characters to begin their journeys with. Recently, one Reddit user known as Larz2411 showed off their rendition ofMike fromBreaking Bad. Mike Ehrmantraut appears inBetter Call SaulandBreaking Bad, being a fan-favorite character in both shows. Viewers often enjoy his no-nonsense demeanor and cool moments, such as when he infiltrates a warehouse in season 3 and takes out multiple guards with just a silenced pistol. Alongside being a beloved character, Mike Ehrmantraut has also been the focus of manyBreaking Badmemes, something that is clear in Larz2411’s depiction of the character.
The first nod to aBreaking Badmeme in Larz2411’sElden Ringcharacter is that it is named Finger, referring to the “Kid Named Finger” meme that revolves around an image of Mike. Also, in the title of Larz2411’s Reddit post, there’s a reference to how Mike pronounces the name Walter. In the comments of the Reddit post, there were plenty of other references toBreaking Badand how Mike would take on the Lands Between.
While it may seem out of place to see Mike Ehrmantraut inElden Ring, plenty of otherBreaking BadandBetter Call Saulcharacters have made their way into other games through character creators and mods. Recently, onemod forMarvel’s Spider-Manallowed players to swing around the streets of New York as Jesse Pinkman, Walter White’s drug-dealing partner. Also, there is even an RPG inspired byBreakingBadon the way known asFamily Man.
