OOC: Character Profiles

[Kooshmeister]

Name: Kurtsweil, Saul
Gender: Male
Species: Fox
Age: 41
Affiliation: N/A
Position/Occupation: Thug/Goon/Hitman/etc.
Physical Despriction: A tall, harsh-looking fox nearly always seen wearing a powder-blue suit with a tacky neon-orange necktie. Has green eyes and short black hair done in a crewcut style.
Biography: A lean, mean underworld enforcer, Saul Kurtsweil has been a criminal since he was a kid. Although he has served numerous bosses, he most often works for Baltus Raynham (who has yet to actually be introduced), who he joined up with shortly before the Toad Wars began. Since then, he has been performing all manner of tasks for Raynham, ranging from cold-blooded murder to simply seeking out new recruits for Raynham's small-but-prosperous organization, especially smugglers. Saul hates toads with a passion, although not because of anything they did to him, his people, or anybody he knew. Saul disliked them even before they were turned into a fascist, genocidal regime, and now uses their current state as an excuse for his unreasoning hatred of them. Otherwise, Saul is pretty much a mean-spirited bully to everyone he encounters.
Voice in Mind: Scott Valentine

Name: MacGruder, Benjamin
Gender: Male
Species: Squirrel
Age: 37
Affiliation: N/A
Position/Occupation: Thug/Goon/Hitman/etc.
Physical Despriction: A mild-looking, apricot-colored squirrel with short, neatly-combed brown hair and a pencil-thin mustache. Wears a black suit with gray pants and a blue necktie.
Biography: Saul's partner, and the only Aniversian that the mean-spirited fox has any modicum of fondness, since they grew up together. He affectionately refers to MacGruder as "Benjie." Unlike Saul, MacGruder is not a bully; just a simple low-level lackey trying to make his way through the world, with no real feelings of malice toward anyone. In fact, he is one step away from being totally apathetic.
Voice in Mind: Rob Paulsen

Character 8
NAME: Eric Frankenstoat

AGE: Unknown

SPECIES: Weasel

HOMEPLANET: Toxus III (See VENGEANCE OF THE DALEKS fanfic)

APPEARANCE: A hunchback in a laboratory coat with tan fur and three blonde spikes on his head for hair. His teeth are razor-sharp, and he sees with a pair of arresting green eyes.

OCCUPATION: Mad scientist, A UAC Renegade

BIOGRAPHY: Dr. Frankenstoat first began life as a Toxicologist at the Graham Institute, and developed a working rocket engine powered purely by nuclear fission. The experiment was laughed upon at the Institute and proved too dangerous for use. The humiliation broke Frankenstoats' mind, and he disappeared, swearing revenge. Since then, Frankenstoat has appeared numorously as sometimes an employeed worker for the toads, and sometimes as a villian in his own right. He has never been caught since.

CHARACTER: A master of disguise, Frankenstoat can outsmart anyone hunting him down. As well as a scientific genius, Frankenstoat has had links to most scum in the Aniverse, including Sly Lizard, Al Negator and the vampire ferret Nosferretu. He cares of nothing but earning money for his experiments, but it is not known where his laboratory or his means of transport are hidden.

VOICE IN MIND: Perhaps Diesel 10 from THOMAS & THE MAGIC RAILROAD or any similar tone of voice.

[Kooshmeister]

Updated Cryer's bio somewhat, giving him a little quirk that I actually know something about: A fear of germs.



Name: Cryer, Bartholomew
Gender: Male
Species: Hare
Age: 32
Affiliation: UAC/Toad Empire
Position/Occupation: Engineer/Toad Spy
Physical Despriction: A wiry hare, somewhat thinner than most, with caramel-colored fur and purple eyes.
Biography: Bartholomew Cryer is a confused and complicated pawn in the Toad Wars, a semi-unwilling traitor to both his own race as well as the UAC. As a child, he was always very sick, and nearly died as a result of his illnesses. Cryer was captured by the toads during the first invasion of Warren, and spent several years slaving in the toadium mines on the rocky, barren Burgos III. Briefly, he was a member of a resistence group among the slaves, until he was caught. Commander Glutgrave, the sadistic toad officer in charge of the slave camp, gave Cryer the chance to save himself by betraying his peers. Cryer, physically ill with terror, took the coward's way out and singlehandedly helped Glutgrave put an end to the resistence in his camp. Since then, Cryer has been a spy and an informant for the toads along with his partner, Edmund Rusk. And although he has learned how to hide his true emotions fairly well over the years, Cryer is sick at heart with guilt for his betrayal, and yet, relieved to be on what he considers the "winning side" of the Toad Wars.
Character: The effect of his constant sickness was twofold: It left Cryer a skinny weakling physically, and made him fear death above all else. Cryer will do almost anything to save his own skin. Another side-effect of his childhood illnesses is that he has become a mild neurotic, and is also a germophobe. If possible, he prefers to not touch things with his bare hands, often using a handy tissue or handkerchief (usually the latter) to open doors, and avoiding contact with toads and/or other mammals at any cost if he can help it.
Voice in Mind: Hal Rayle or Paul Eiding

Note on Character; Shar seems to be a gruff cat, bur in reality is a lonely cat. He seeks someone who can accept him, despite his age and his cybernetics.

Character 9
NAME: Nosferretu

AGE: 705

SPECIES: Vampire ferret

HOMEPLANET: Unknown

OCCUPATION: Creature Of The Night

DESCRIPTION: A 4' tall ferret in a black evening suit and a flowing purple cape. His fur is a beige, with two bloodshot eyes and a pair of razor-sharp fangs.

BIOGRAPHY: Born in 2521, Nosferretu lived a simple life, until he became involved in a fight with a bat in a bar. The resulting wounds lead to an early death for Nosferretu, but he became a part of the undead, as one of the most feared vampires in existence. Attempts to kill him by many "vampirebusters", in particular Van Owlsing, have failed.

CHARACTER: Nosferretu can be manipulative at times, and often lures his victims onto a ghost train (Often named "The Phantom Express" or "That Hell-Bound Train") before he can bite into their necks. As well as a mind-reader, Nosferretu is also a friend of Frankenstoat as it was he who revived Nosferretu from an eternal sleep.

VOICE IN MIND: Bela Lugosi

This character is hereby deceased and no longer plays any important part in the Roleplaying Board

[Brian the Flying Penguin]

Bela Lugosi! Old skool!

[Norris]

Thats' as maybe, but he was the original Dracula, and thats' pretty much who I based Nosferretu around (As well as Nosferatu and that robot Nos 4-A2).

Character 10
NAME: Chuck Bodgers

AGE: 39/40

SPECIES: Hairless Baboon

HOMEPLANET: Earth

OCCUPATION: Superhero (Retired)

DESCRIPTION: A middleweight human in a bright green skintight suit with blue boots and matching gloves and belt. His face is partially covered by a blue eyemask which covers the void between his deep blue eyes. His hair is a greasy brown, and he is able to fly with the aid of a jetpack.

BIOGRAPHY: In his prime, Chuck Bodgers was a British superhero famed for his super-speed and knowledge on astrophysics and astrochemistry. He was a member of the British Teen Titans for a few years, but his age meant he was forced into early retirement, barely a few years before the passing of the Superhero Restriction Act.

Following the arrival of Fireball XL6 in the Aniverse, there have been sightings of the retired superhero across Genus, with some sightings on Warren.

CHARACTER: Chuck Bodgers only appears in dire emergencies, such as an invasion by toads. Whenever he is found otherwise, he will simply say "I am too old to make this a full-time job." His strength has decreased dramatically over time.

VOICE IN MIND: A deep voice with a slight english accent

Corporal said:

Actually, if by Nosferatu you mean Count Graff Orlock, he was Dracula, in a sense, since the story told by the silent film was an unlicensed rip-off of Bram Stoker's novel - to the point that Stoker's wife sued the people that made the movie and this almost reulted in all prints being destroyed - and so that technically makes actor Max Shreck (who played Orlock - and who the Christopher Walken character in Batman Returns is named for) the first screen Dracula.

But, name-wise, Bela Lugosi is the first official Dracula. And besides... Nosferatu was a silent film, so using Max Shreck's voice is out of the question, I guess.

As to why I felt the need to mention all this, well, I'm just a font of useless information. XD

[Brian the Flying Penguin]

Bela gets a mention on the first page of Vampire: the Masquerade.

[Norris]

I based the name Nosferretu as a ferret equivalent of Nosferatu, but I used Bela Lugosis' tone of voice to give him a Dracula feel. As for Nos 4-A2, well, he's a vampire anyway!

[whitehind]

Name: Commander Marsupial
Gender: Male
Species: Hare
Age: 47
Affiliation: UAC
Position/Occupation: Commanding officer onboard Warren orbital defence station.
Physical Despriction: A dark brown, blue eyed hare of average height. A significant portion of his body and face have a thick layer of scar tissue from burns and wounds sustained from conflict with Toad's.
Biography: He has been a military mammal all his life and worked his way up from a groudling frontline fighter to his current "quiet" position. He was a foot soldier in the first toad war that claimed the lives of many of his brothers before being selected for a special commando (and black ops) squad that wreaked havoc behind Toad lines. He thought his days of action were drawing to a close... until Warren was attacked. In the space of a few hours he lost many crewmen and friends... his planet... and his wife... and being a broken minded ex-special forces soldier with nothing left to lose (and nothing to gain but vengeance) could make him prove to be a very dangerous foe for the toads.

[Dragonie]

Name: Tomas Grigg

Affiliation: UAC
Position/Occupation: Internal affairs agent
Physical Descrpiction: Small, and non-descrip. the perfect look for someone who job is to spy on spies.
Biography: Having always been good at finding out every little dirty secret people had he decided on putting his talent to use.

Voice in Mind: 007 (Timothy Dalton)

[Kooshmeister]

Name: Croaker, Dr.
Gender: Male
Species: Toad
Age: Mid-30s
Affiliation: Toad Empire
Position/Occupation: Scientist, assistant to Professor Wartmon
Physical Despriction: An unusually short, plump toad, with no distinguishable physical features. Usually seen wearing a white lab coat and a blue and red-polka dotted bowtie.
Biography: Professor Wartmon's chief assistant serves many capacities aside from simply helping him out in the lab. Because it is his and Wartmon's "creation" Renfield Billings spying for the Toad Empire on Genus, the Air Marshall decided that the best people to handle secret meetings with Renfield would be Wartmon's people. Thus, Croaker makes monthly trips to Genus to secretly meet with Renfield and/or retrieve data disks left for him in a secret hiding place. Croaker has combat training similar to the average Stormtoad, which means he is mildly dangerous to the average mammal, and backing him up are Hook and Grapple, his fearsome-but-idiotic Stormtoad bodyguards.
Voice in Mind: Kenneth Mars



Name: "Smasher"
Gender: Male
Species: Toad
Age:
Affiliation: Toad Empire
Position/Occupation: Stormtoad/Bodyguard
Physical Despriction: A gigantic, muscular toad, nearly shoulder-to-shoulder with a Berserker Baboon, wearing naught but a yellow elastic upper-body harness, matching collar with rank insignia on it (Private), the standard-issue Stormtoad helmet, and the remains of some shredded blue Stormtoad uniform trousers. Distinguishable from Grapple due to his pencil-thin black mustache.
Biography: Like his nearly-identical looking counterpart Grapple, Smasher serves as a bodyguard/all-purpose lackey to Professor Wartmon and Dr. Croaker. Once, he was an ordinary Stormtoad Private, neither better or worse than any of his fellows, until he volunteered for an experiment of the Professor's involving muscle enhancers. Wartmon's goal was to enhance the Toad Army in this fashion, but the muscle enhancer had a degenerative effect on the brain that rendered Smasher and fellow test subject Grapple physically stronger than any toad (except for Toadborg), but with the intellectual level of a child. His speech and behavior reflects this.
