Master Chieve
Ten characters I am Extremely Normal about


Master Chieve
I don't REALLY go super hard on obsessing about individual characters that much but:

Master Chieve
10!


Master Chieve
THE Robot!

Master Chieve
Built by Nikola Tesla in the 1920s, powered by a nuclear reactor the size of a baseball, Atomic Robo has adventures across the twentieth century and beyond

Master Chieve
If you peeled open my brain and rooted around for the coolest possible setting that is still recognizeably Earth it would probably look something like this

Master Chieve
9!


Master Chieve
Princess Kushana of Torumekia!

Master Chieve
A dark mirror of the actual protagonist who realized the reality of being a princess in an imperial power as a little girl when her mom was driven mad by a poison meant for her, Kushana dedicated her life to revenge and became just SO fucking cool

Master Chieve
8!


Master Chieve
Commander Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch!

Master Chieve
There's something to be said for a protagonist who looks into the darkness and sees the absolute worst humanity has to offer, and sees that same darkness in himself

Master Chieve
And then says "No"

Master Chieve
"I'm going to be good anyway"

Master Chieve
"Fuck off"

Master Chieve
7!


Master Chieve
Marisa Kirisame and also these aren't in any particular order

Master Chieve
The ordinary magician who achieved through months of continuous effort and experimentation what Reimu did through divine favor. But also a huge asshole

Master Chieve
6!


Master Chieve
Tycho Brahe from Diebuster

Master Chieve
Not a character archetype I normally go for but I just felt like her arc in Diebuster had a lot of heart!

Master Chieve
She got so tied up in her own personal goal of taking out her frustrations on the Fraternity that she lost sight of the actual measurable good she can do!

Master Chieve
5!


Master Chieve
Lyle Dylandy

Master Chieve
I forgot why I liked 00 in the first place but watching it again is bringing it all back.

Master Chieve
I cannot express how BAFFLED everyone was when this show was first coming out

Master Chieve
And they killed off one of the central characters and then replaced him with his own twin brother

Master Chieve
It felt like an incredible ass pull

Master Chieve
But they actually went somewhere with it! Lyle wasn't just "Neil is still around!" he's actually a distinctively different character who has a whole character arc about escaping from his brother's shadow! Fuck!

Master Chieve
THE ABSOLUTE MADLADS THEY PULLED IT OFF!

Master Chieve
4!


Master Chieve
Wei Shi Lindon!

Master Chieve
He's a good boy!

Master Chieve
Even if he makes a lot of questionable decisions in his mad desperate scramble for as much power as he can get his hands on

Master Chieve
I think what makes Lindon still work for me in the later series when he's gotten pretty ridiculous was that, like

Master Chieve
He's kind of defined by greed and hunger but it's not just for his own personal power

Master Chieve
He doesn't just want to be strong, he wants things to be better for EVERYONE

Master Chieve
He wants all his friends to ascend with him!

Master Chieve
Yeah!

Master Chieve
3!


Master Chieve
Ahsoka Tano

Master Chieve
I feel like she was the Main Character of Clone Wars almost more than Anakin was

Master Chieve
She's a new character created for the story and so, unlike Anakin and Kenobi, her fate is totally unknown

Master Chieve
It was easier to get invested and worried about her because anything could happen to her!

Master Chieve
Whereas we know what happens to Anakin

Master Chieve
he falls to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader

Master Chieve
2!


Master Chieve
It's Hornet!

Master Chieve
I'm just

Master Chieve
VERY excited for Silksong!

Master Chieve
1!


Master Chieve
Bai Lin!

Master Chieve
No one said they couldn't be my own characters!

Master Chieve
And I like her a lot

Master Chieve
Thank you for your time

Master Chieve
/bursts back in here I JUST WANT TO SAY

Master Chieve
That it forever saddens me that the version of Kushana most people know is the movie version

Master Chieve
which has very little to do with the manga version

Master Chieve
Please read the manga!

Master Chieve
It's really good and Kushana has ten times more nuance than the movie!

Master Chieve
I get that the manga wasn't finished yet and they were just making shit up to fit the story in one movie but it's like

Master Chieve
If they had only ever done one Lord of the Rings Movie

Master Chieve
That gets a little bit into The Two Towers and then ends with Aragorn having a sword fight with Sauron to defeat him

Master Chieve
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE
