THE LESS YOU LEAVE THE MORE CHALLENGING IT IS.

Geeky assassin with a bad attitude and a beam katana. He swears a lot and doesn't feel bad about killing in itself, but he has a weird inconsistent sense of honor and doesn't kill kids or people who won't put up a fair fight.

Threads | Wiki

One of seven alternate personalities of his "Master", Harman Smith, all of whom are assassins; spoilers that ain't the actual case but THAT'S NOT RELEVANT TO THIS MEME. Literally has almost no individual sense of self aside from his work, apart from devotion to work and Harman, an occasional dry sense of humor, and some uncertainty regarding what the truth really is.

Threads | don't even bothering wiki-ing Killer7 it'll confuse you more

Teenage superhero who turns into a... bug... thing. Dorky and awkward, sucks at bantering, but is a really great hero and a moral, family-oriented person with an amazingly good heart. WHAT A KID.

Threads | Wiki

Annoying, snobby teenage JRPG cleric who believes she's a lost princess and DEMANDS TO BE TREATED AS SUCH AT ALL TIMES. Kind of sad on the inside with an abandonment complex. LOVE HER. LOVE HER (PLEASE)

Threads | Wiki

lord protector to the empress of the isles. doesn't talk much. pretty good at killing people and has powers granted to him by a black-eyed whale man of a god. good with kids.

thread | wiki

cyborg mercenary that worked for desperado, an american organization that helped out terrorists a lot. can attach up to seven extra pairs of arms to her body. french-algerian, grew up in a civil war. no regrets on killing.

thread | wiki

white haired anime boy. robot. very gay.

Hot noir femme fatale who sings and dances and steals your men and is really hot. thats it. the end.

[congrats, you're trapped in an underground catacomb with a dude named after a bird!! corvo seems to be fairly competent at what he's doing, however, and isn't entirely intent on leaving whoever he's found with him behind. lucky for that, too. who knows what kind of nasty shit is lying in wait here-- the faint smell of blood reeks through the dark, decaying corridors.

pressing himself to the wall, corvo notches an arrow into his crossbow, then sticks an arm out to keep his traveling companion from moving any further around the corner. something's there: he just doesn't know what.]

Hold, a moment.

(ooc: i know absolutely nothing about dishonored. like nothing at all. FEEL FREE TO PROMPT FOR ANYTHING ELSE TOO...)

By the 21st century, Bayonetta is one out of two of the last Umbra Witches in the world. Born to a Lumen Sage and an Umbra Witch, she is the child of tainted blood and was shunned by everyone in her clan. She don't give a fuck tho. Girls just wanna have fun.

ZEN SPACE JESUS.

...okay if you want more than that, he's a Blue Lantern (they have power rings powered by HOPE), the last of his kind, and has a penchant for philosophy, meditation, and dropping truth bombs on other cranky aliens.

(ooc: bayonetta is about fighting/hunting evil monsters or enemy witches or something???? and time loops and magic hair? i actually have no clue and im challenging myself by not wiki-ing. BULLSHITS THIS)

[bayonetta is not a particularly cruel woman. usually. but it's an entire other thing to encroach upon a woman's territory, particularly when the intruder happens to look like someone who'd be taking very valuable targets away from her.

honestly. that's just rude.

using the shadows as cover, she slips some distance the person and strides forward, heels clicking against the rooftop. she brings her gun to the back of her head: close enough that they can feel the metal brush their hair.]

Oh, dear. I'm afraid you've run into a rather nasty predicament. [bayonetta tilts her head to the side and smiles, no teeth-- flirtatious in spite of the gun. (or maybe because of it. who the hell knows with this one.)] Care to show me how you plan to get out of it, darling?

[clear is humming pleasantly to himself and crouched beside a bush somewhere on the street, evidently very interested in something hidden in there.

also, a thunderstorm is happening. the downpour is nothing to sneeze at, of course, but isn't so severe or noticeable as the loud and booming thunder is.

but he's sitting out there with his umbrella over his head like it's a pleasant fucking shower. clear, what the hell.]

~~hot dad~~

Sort of-- okay, a LOT washed-up superhero, who is a dorky father and extremely uncool, but tries really hard to be a hero for everybody anyway. Has a power called the "Hundred Power" which gives him super-strength/agility/etc for exactly five minutes. About as mature as a 12-year-old boy.

thread | <a href="http://tigerbunny.wikia.com/wiki/Wild_Tiger>wiki</a>

Kinda stoic, keeps a bit to himself and is really eccentric, but is pretty loyal at heart to his friends. He's reckless and will basically go rescue anyone without hesitating. Always cool under pressure.

Oh yeah, there's the whole "I have no memories thing." If you decide to go with his memories, he's kind of even more batshit and a bit of an asshole. He gets really showy and more ruthless, but still remains true to his friends. Also snails. Snails everywhere.

ALSO. He has this thing called a Stand and it controls the weather. It's a part of him but also not? Not everyone can see it.

Here's a wiki GOOD LUCK FRIENDS

stuffy british ~~civil servant~~grim reaper. huge loser. uses a pruning pole as a weapon. can also walk the tightrope.

thread | the wiki is so fucking awful i'm never linking it

The only thing I know about this guy is his beam katana because I built it as a working prop for someone's cosplay, but he sounds kind of awesome! XD

Used to rob banks with her mother, now fights crime. Has asplodey powers. Swears like a sailor. Was the product of a scientific experiment done on her mother while she was pregnant. Went to high school with Spider-Man (before he died).

Thread | Wiki

Straight up trailer trash. Foul-mouthed, actual shithead and hates The Man. Anarchist with a shitty fucking haircut god bless. He'll always defend the weak and he will literally go through Hell to protect his friends. He's got a lot of problems and a shit memory thanks to amnesia. He questions his humanity, but he's convinced he's not crazy.

A bunch of inbox threads | Wiki

Mid-twenties former collegiate football star turned USMC officer serving in the PTO (Pacific Theater of Operations) during the WWII. Andy is well respected in his Company because of his fair treatment of his men and his 'lead from the front' sort of attitude.

HE'S A BLAST 8) i'd give other characterization tips but. against the spirit of the meme.

(also OMG did you that's so cool...)

*same person as above, just so happens to actually play Kaede AND Kotetsu from T&B!*

You can see it here! In all of it's lit up glory.

Kills demons with spoons and forks. I'm not even kidding. Totally doesn't think America is that great. Also kills robot ninjas with shovels. Has certain proper British mannerisms but also enjoys kicking ass, taking names and things exploding. She has a lot of guns. Like. Too many. Smacks things around with a guitar too. A tea aficionado.

Thread with baby brother | wiki

As 90's as you could possibly be in 1993. The Chosen One. Has a magic hat. Led a team of seven into battle and only three (including him) came out alive, he took that about as well as you might expect. Saves the world from everything you can think of, including aliens, demigods, vampires, and mccarthyist cold war hangers-on.

Wiki | no threads I've barely played him anywhere HAVE FUN
