As a consequence of my RP shenanigans, I tend to gather a cast of minor/supporting characters almost as big as my usual retinue of main characters. Rather than clutter up the Character Critique Thread with all of their profiles, I decided to store them here in a nice, tidy post all to itself. I will, of course, update this post with any and all new characters that appear, but if the characters in question are merely cameo appearances, then they will not recieve proper profiles.

MINOR CHARACTERS
Name: Jeremy Valiant
Text Colour: Science Gray-Blue
Original Character
Jeremy is the head scientist of the Arbiters Foundation. His job is to study all the alien tech that plummets from the sky and find new and innovative uses for it. While he takes to this job with enthusiasm, he tends to ramble on and on about things, using longer and longer words until you fall asleep. He is also something of a shut-in, never leaving his laboratory unless a serious dilemma arises. He shows some contempt for Jonah, mostly on the whole Religion vs, Science principle.
Name: Delia Sahara
Text Colour: Desert Bloom Pink
Original Character
Being a cactus woman has it's fair share of problems - getting comfortable in bed, looking presentable at parties and, of course, getting a job in the harsh world of today. Thankfully, Delia was lucky enough to marry aspiring surgeon Marcus, and the two now live together in Zoofights City. Delia goes through every day with a cheerful demeanor and a smile for all, and hates seeing conflict arise between her friends. That said, she is something of a worryroots, prone to jumping onto any problem like a bengal tiger attacking it's prey, which can be a bit unnerving. A vegetarian by nature.
Name: Boris "Bobby" Vasquez
Text Colour: Sssserpentine Blue
Original Character
"Bobby" as he is known, is actually a collection of an unidentified species of snake, linked together by a single conciousness. As such, he always refers to himself in plural terms, never in singular. Bobby is not a sociable bunch - being a reptile means he lacks empathy, and is often sarcastic and blunt to the point of rudeness. Nevertheless, he respects the rabble of people like himself that he hangs out with, and considers himself lucky to be where he is today. He is a strict carnivore, always on the lookout for his next meal, which often leads to hilarious antics.
Name: Jimmy (Last name unknown)
Text Colour: Default Black
Original Character
Jimmy is the name given to the floating pile of metallic shards that accompanies Bobby in his wacky mishaps. The two have been friends for a long while, although when they first met is still a mystery - perhaps they met in high school. Jimmy appears to be the most practical one of the two, often the one to make sensible suggestions and work out solutions to problems. He is, however, somewhat quick to anger, possibly due to the racial persecution of his non-euclidian species. He comunicates with a language not unlike the noise of a wind chime, which only Bobby and Delia can understand.
Name: Darius Layton

CAMEOS
T-Bone
Origin: Extreme Dinosaurs
T-Bone, the leader of the Extreme Dinosaurs, was recently seen playing the Duke of Venice in a recent production of Othello. According to interviews, his one regret was that he didn't get to work in a line about "carnivating" someone.
Wes Weasley
Origin: Adventues of Sonic the Hedgehog
In a flashback, it was implied that Wes Weasley was the agent who hired Pit into Sintendo, and gave him the new look he is recognised by today. His brash, pushy, overly-cheerful demeanour and odd attire earned Pit's distrust immediately.

More to come, hopefully.
Minor characters are fun. They help flesh out the city a bit more and show that even when the bar isn't heavily involved, this universe is one of adventure and shenanigans.
ReplyDeleteAnd sometimes they graduate to regular status if people start becoming fans of them.
Too true, Goops, too true. Remember El Tigre after he got trampled by those clowns and ran off?
DeleteWell, maybe he didn't go so far as to be a regular, but my point stands. :P
