OK. That made me think of this boss from an old arcade game:


Name: Xon
Team: Renegade Skulls
Role: Minor Character, only shows up in the games

Xon has never shown up in the cartoon or comics, but does show up in several of the games based off the series. Xon is usually seen as an early or mid-game boss, drinking crude oil from barrels for flame attacks and hurling them like a meaner Donkey Kong. His name is Exon in the Japanese versions of the game but changed to Xon for legal reasons.

In the Youxia Hero Monkeygirl games you have to time your hits to strike Xon while he's drinking, or knock the barrels back at him.

In the Dakka Smith Orkgirls, you need to shoot out the barrels while he's drinking or early in the throw -- shoot them too late and you take damage, so duck them instead.

For Wild Hero Catgirls, the drink time means you need to get ready to jump the stream of fire. Most characters can get in 3 hits before they need to dodge or move up/down to avoid the fire punch counter.

I never thought of annoying video game boss as a career but now that I think about it, it actually rules and I'm going to tell all the kids to do it. Thanks.

Anyway out of the previous ones, I liked snack bot and the baby Yoda juvenile koala slowly eating pages out of a cursed tome that now regrets its life choices best.

Name: Zippone the Megapin
Team: Renegade Skulls
Role: Minor Reoccurring Character

When the show needs someone to kick the crap out of the Royal Order but in a way that stays within the viewing guidelines AND is plausible for them to survive, it's usually Zippone the Megapin who does kicking. Eccentric to the point of being surreal (and occasionally incomprehensible) Zippone is not a killer and as such people just assume everything they do is more comedic cartoon violence than fractures and concussions.

Zippone firmly believes the Skulls are on the side of Good and that the Royal Order is a repressive regime. Come Season Three when the Skulls, Heroes and Order have to team up against threats and they start treating their opposition as misguided as opposed to evil.

While strong and skilled in melee combat, Zippone is still easily out-smarted or distracted and as such is only a minor threat to the heroes.

Thanks, I like to know what hits/misses with people. Koala eat poisonous leaves so I figure they're so dumb that trying to corrupt them would backfire horribly.

I personally have a thing where I will instantly apply feedback mid-course and ruin my own train of thought, so I hesitate to express a critical opinion prematurely unless I know the person personally, but the character-making process is just an artist-paced "How It's Made" experience that I want to be an audience and enjoy.

Works in perfectly for Team Tentacle.


Name: Bo Oventure
Team: Team Tentacle
Role: Main Character (Party Dude)

I'd say every team needs their one quirky character, but Team Tentacle is entirely built out of quirky characters. Bang's always on a date, Sibbi inadvertently freaks people out by insisting she's not an evil or insane creature who could tear them part (although she could, but she's not insane or evil), so Bo is the "quirky" character by being inexplicitly the most human-like in terms of personality and the least threatening overall (unless you're nervous around tentacles, in which case you are SOL when it comes to Team Tentacle).

She loves surfing, talks like a Valley Girl, and is extremely knowledgeable about surface culture -- maybe a bit too knowledgeable, one could say her understanding of surface life borders on an obsession. She also is the only one of Team Tentacle with a serious taste for pepperoni pizza -- the rest of the team either aren't interested in pizza or put extremely strange toppings on it, like seaweed & pineapple or fish roe and raw eggs.

Her 'surf board' is actually part of her and acts as a shield in combat, but also allows her to fly across wind currents as well.

Bo eventually gets a spin-off game called "Bo's Beach Bash" which was a series of combat beach sports including Volleyball but with an explosive, the real "Dead or Alive Volleyball"

Name: Fara Knockwood
Team: Power Pixies
Role: Minor Reoccurring Character

Fara is a 'full size' ally of the Power Pixies, one of the (non-human) citizens of the city. While the pixies are small enough to infiltrate a lot of places undetected, having Fara sneak them in via her backpack or even her clothes is still a boon. Curious, oddly streetwise and charming, Fara keeps a pulse of the goings on and updates the Power Pixies accordingly.

In Season Two, Fara seems to bond with Flying Bear in a way that initially suggests she has a crush on him (which anyone could tell you is a lost cause). Then it turns out that she's been grappling with her sexuality and has been going to Flying Bear for advice. Some people might point out that going to Flying Bear for advice is also a lost cause but it turns out he does have some wisdom to pass along considering Fara is a lesbian and is trying to figure out how to come out to others.

Fara and Bear become good friends as they both enjoy the same comics and shows and discuss what fictional characters created what awakening. This occasionally annoys the others.

I'm far too dead inside to be able to draw any fetish on purpose. Some characters come out sexy but that's due to how RNG indicates to me how they should appear or if I want to do a shout-out to some old cartoons.

Speaking of the creation method... I am really going to have to bulk up my database to include the overall story arcs as they're coming out. It's getting awkward referring to earlier post to see who gets added when and why.



Name: Betty "The Wall" Wilkins
Team: Royal Order
Role: Major reoccurring character/Game Boss

Betty shows up midway through Season Three as the Royal Order as they get the idea from watching "Poison" Polly fight the Youxia Monkeys and Holly's growing effectiveness. Part of the same shadowy project that created Polly, Betty is assigned to be Polly's right hand after Fontaine's departure. Standing at over 7 ft/213 cm and wielding a massive powered Tower Shield that can generate a force shield, Betty often acts as a major boss in the Youxia Monkey game alongside Polly. While quite brilliant when it comes to maintaining Royal Order tech, Betty is rather introverted socially -- generally only interacting with Polly and often relying on her to communicate with the rest of the Order.

She speaks infrequently but when she does she tends to ramble on at length until Polly gives her a gentle poke, her favourite subjects seeming to be her shield tech, the law (although unlike Polly she's more focused on the letter and the implications) and insects. She's quite gentle despite her massive size and surprisingly quiet when she moves despite carrying a heavy load.

Like Polly, she begins to question the methods of the Order as they are told to bend, disregard or break their own laws, something that doesn't sit well with either of them. While Polly is more likely to bend the rules or act in the spirit rather than the letter of the law, Betty is more likely to act through loopholes or contradictions within the law and in later episodes is shown to be rather figuratively lethal in a courtroom situation.

In combat, quite simply you're not getting past her. Between her strength, endurance and shield generator she effectively lives up to her nickname of "The Wall" and the Monkeys find themselves having to take another route if she blocks them.

Liches don't exist in this setting but I'll do what I can.


Name: Tarquinn
Team: None/Power Pixies Season 5
Role: Minor Reoccurring Character

Liches don't exist; the technology to provide immortality is scientific in nature, not eldritch. One of the aspects of eldritch influence is a state of continual flux, and immortality requires stasis. That said, a dremilin going by "Tarquinn" (probably not their original name) discovered an artefact site in the wilds and managed to penetrate its inner sanctum. There they discovered an ancient containment unit in which there was a small feline. Upon getting close, the systems surrounding said cat reactivated, the chamber opened and the cat stepped out to say hello.

There they discovered a log -- the original owner of the ancient site was tired of life but couldn't bear to leave their (unaging) cat alone, so instead placed the cat in stasis and quietly stumbled off the mortal coil. The one to find the cat would become his next keeper and inherit all the tech and power of the site.

Tarquinn immediate fell in love with the kitty and as the years passed and their genetic structure stabilized they became a kitch -- some sort of cat-based, unaging creature. So what does an immortal do with all their time? Shitpost on the Internet, look after said kitty, and play games from some unending repository of entertainment from the mists of time.

Leaving the chamber would end access to the life-extending technology and of course increase the risk of someone else finding said site, so for years they've just puttered about until one day being discovered by one of the Power Pixies. Initially uninterested in the events on the surface (after all, they had everything they could ever need in their chamber) they began to exchange artefacts in exchange for various favours. Sometimes it was an antique from the city they missed. Sometimes they asked for the dew from the mountains. Sometimes they just asked them to beat this one level in a game.

Eventually Tarquinn began to bond with the pixies and took a more active role in assisting them, becoming more and more generous with their boons.
