CANON INFORMATION NIGHT!

[thewunderkind]

The game's pretty big isn't it? With so many characters it's sometimes hard to keep up with everyone's canon and character backgrounds. Not to mention that the apps aren't always placed in the character's journal, and it leaves you wondering how they are, or even where they come from.

WELL WONDER NO MORE! It's time for a canon and character night!

The idea behind this post is primarily an information exchange. Just fill in this form, and think about factoids and things in a list form. Remember, you're trying to sell your character & canon to others, so talk about what makes them unique and fun. With any luck, you'll learn some new things about other people's characters that you can base relationships or friendships on, or even find a new fandom which catches your interest!

Note: Please mark the top of your thread with the canon. This way, other people in your canon can add whatever they want to it, such as their character stuff, and other cool factoids about the canon that they might remember.

You are perfectly fine and more than allowed to ask questions about the fandoms to the other players if you wish as well!

This hand of mine glows with an awesome POWER!

[masterofnun.livejournal.com]

Fire, blunt force and a power surge can't kill my Gamecube. But apparently Fire Emblem can. And did.

But of course! Irish ninjas. They can throw frozen shamrocks as shuriken!

NOT SO BAD ACTUALLY.

I mean, after the whole "fine do these seemingly impossible things and we won't kill you but if you take too long we'll also kill you." And then one guy was like "SCREW THAT" and tried killing everyone anyway. :|

Confusing comics gooooo

this got so long I am so sorry also Portal 2 spoilers in the links

[fattynoparents]

Character: Chell
Canon: Portal Series

Interesting things about the character:
- In true silent protagonist form, we don't know a whole lot about Chell. What we DO know comes to us through a tie-in comic and a few scattered easter eggs.
- She is the (probably adopted) daughter of at least one Aperture scientist, and that she was present on the day GLaDOS locked down the Enrichment Center to begin her reign of testing and neurotoxin and murder. So she's basically been trapped in a lab for most of her life.
- She appears to have volunteered willingly for testing while there were still living scientists, though her file contains a lot of "SUBJECT REFUSED TO ANSWER" and her last name is [REDACTED].
- In addition, she was initially rejected for testing because she is dangerously tenacious, the quality that eventually allowed her to defeat GLaDOS, once a helpful ex-programmer altered the test subject order in her favor.
- Despite the fact that them crazy robots constantly berate Chell for never speaking, she is not actually mute. Word of God dictates that she is just so gosh darn pissed off that she refuses to dignify anyone with actual responses. To anything. Ever.
Fun trivia! She actually was supposed to speak in Portal 2. One word. "Yes", to end the game. It, like many particularly golden bits of dialogue, were cut.
- Her knees are fakey fake. The first game gives her Aperture Science Advanced Knee Replacements, which end up forcibly removed by the end. Portal 2 replaces them with the Long Fall Boot.
- SHE IS THE ULTIMATE SLAYER OF CRAZY GODCOMPUTERS AND KEEPS TALLY MARKS OF HER ROBOT MURDERS ON THE SIDE OF HER PORTAL GUN STACY YOU'RE GOING TO BE NUMBER FOUR.

Interesting things about the canon/fandom:
- Portal and its sequel are first-person…puzzle…shooter…platform…games. The idea is to solve puzzles using what is called the "Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device", which is totally exactly what it sounds like. MAKE PORTALS, SOLVE PUZZLES.
- It was a side project developed by Valve and released with Half-Life 2 as part of the Orange Box in 2007. The itty-bitty, hour-or-two game was a smash hit, and the rest is history.
- It won some awards and is considered very influential and stuff.
- Portal takes place in the Half-Life universe! Valve is really vague on the exact timeline, but it's suggested the first game happens around the same time as the Combine Invasion. THANKS, BLACK MESA. If you look/listen, there are a lot of mentions to Aperture's rival corporation, ranging from powerpoints in back rooms to Aperture's founder outright saying they STOLE HIS IDEAS THOSE BASTARDS. Unfortunately, the second game is even more vague about timelines, though it's implied that Chell cryoslept right through the apocalypse. APP GORDON FREEMAN
- The first game is pretty notable in the sense that both protagonist and antagonist are ladytypes, which is sort of rare in the land of videojuegos. Obviously the tie-in comic and sequel introduce some dudes, but hey, girl power.
- Portal is the one true source of all overused memes.
- Enjoy some easter eggs from the second game.
- Hi I like games about robots and trivia about games about robots can you tell.

Anything else?:
