Some Random Characters

Sorry this blog has been so inactive; I have finals coming and school is suddenly a bigger priority. But since I have some time today, I thought I would do something I always enjoy: random characters. Take a look at a few of my favorites from all different things.

Name: Roger
Species: Homunculus
Origin: The Hellboy Comic series by Mike Mignola.
Bio: Despite a story filled with random madness (the main plot revolves around a half-demon who hunts monsters for the government), the comic "Hellboy" is full of surprisingly down to earth heroes. Most of the characters are fun, but my personal favorite is Roger. Created in medieval times, Roger is an artificial human created with magic and chemicals. Awakened in modern times, he was taken into custody by the BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense). Roger is very strong and very old, but what makes him interesting is his childlike innocence and wonder. Despite being artificial and having a very troubled past, he always is optimistic and smart.

Name: The Question
Species: Human
Origin: DC comics
Bio: Vic Sage was a TV reporter who went out at night as a crime fighter: his signature costume was a blue fedora and a skin-colored, faceless mask. Eventually his self-confidence and arrogance almost got him killed. Left shot for dead in a river, Vic managed to survive, but came back a different man. Now unsure of his place in the world, he tries to balance asian philosophy with heroics or "zen and violence". While this may sound like a boring mix, he is an amazingly three-dimensional character whose story is surprisingly intelligent: a rarity for comics. Check out the video link (there are spoilers) to his entertainingly insane if more lighthearted part in the cartoon "Justice League Unlimited"
The Best of The Question

Name: Moist
Species: Human (probably)
Origin: Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog
Bio: Just so they're not all comic book characters "moist" is from a series of three internet shorts featuring musical superheroes. Created by fanboy legend Joss Whedon and starring Neil Patrick Harris it's been a surprising success. But for me, on character stole the show: evil villain wannabe Moist. He's not really villain material as his only real power is making things soggy ("at my most badass I want to make people go take a shower" is his immortal line). Saving up his "evil points" to get into the "henchmens union", Moist is the roommate of the main character. While he may not get much airtime, everything he says is funny and notice how he always looks soggy; this guy know his moisture.

So, there are some random characters, was this post a bust or worth doing some more eventually? Comment if you are willing.
