For historical significance I’d go:
Mario
Master Chief
Sonic
Laura Croft
For my personal favorites id go:
Daxter
Arthur Morgan
Kratos
Nathan Drake
If it’s the most famous 4, I’m going with PAC-MAN, Mario, the T-block from Tetris, and Pikachu.
For my personal favourite 4, it’s Tommy Angelo, Arthur Morgan, Scorpion, and the Daytona Hornet.
My Skyrim character for sure
Mario- Most iconic pure gaming character
Pac Man- icon, innovator of laying groundwork for many gaming elements/subcultures
Sub-Zero- Fighting genre representation, Mortal Kombat at the heart of the Senate hearings/cliches that led to the ESRB’s creation
Arthur Morgan- Modern “gaming as art” representative (Kratos and his world revolves so heavily around Greek/Nordic mythology and Geralt was a popular book character first/the Netflix adaptation is based on the books, not game)
Adoring fan, Rex, Patches (the spider), Epona

Isaac (of “Binding of Isaac” fame. Also the bible, I guess)Doesn’t the Mt. Rushmore question limit it to 4?
PAC-MAN - The first mascot. Hall of Famer. Icon.
MARIO - I think this one needs no introduction.
SONIC - A rival appears!After that, I’m actually not sure. Lara Croft is a contender. Doom Marine? I guess Master Chief and Kratos could be tossed into the mix, but I’m less sure. The gaming landscape exploded upon the PS1’s arrival. There’s so many franchises and characters.
I agree with list, I wanna add Geralt of Rivia, Commander Sheppard and Solid Snake
I’d go Mario, Steve (from minecraft), Master Chief, Kratos
