Cliched plot or cliched characters?

I would love to see a perfect set of real, fleshed-out characters. Characters CARRY the story. They are the ones who make the decisions, decide to push that red button, save the girl, etc. And if the plot is cliche, fine. I don't care about the plot. It's the characters that matter.

Everyone is different, so everyone's characters should be too!

Anyways.,.. if you start off wioth a cliched plot, then you can add in a neat twist at the end!
