CANON INFORMATION NIGHT!

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!

Character: Gaignun Kukai Jr. (Rubedo)
Canon: Xenosaga

I'll just leave this post I made just for this kind of occasion here. (http://carrieswar.livejournal.com/5041.html)

And this post about the characters/Jr. himself. (http://carrieswar.livejournal.com/2971.html)

I also think this fanmade trailer (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cYEkTXL691Y) is fantastic and worth a watch for interest-pinging.

I'm clearly prepared for memes like this. >_>

That swimsuit brings me so much joy and so many nightmares.

Yeah there's an option to watch every cutscene in the game with swimsuits in the scene viewer.

Serious shit happening and everyone's ready to go to the beach in their mankinis.

You're making this face (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/110834468/31682668) on the inside I know it to be true.

And I'll add this just to fill it out.

Interesting things about the character:
- Clone, bioweapon. One of 669 of them. Was the leader of their force when he was a child!
- Ruined everything as their leader and they all died or went crazy. But it was either do that or destroy the planet, so that sucked.
- Is the main focus for a good part of Xenosaga II and has a lot of focus on Xenosaga III (each character gets spotlight in III)
- Can shoot bullets off of coins in mid-air.
- Prefers old-fashion guns to techy lasery beam guns. Mimics cheesy action flicks in battle and sometimes ruins a mission as a result.
- Quotes Dirty Harry in battle in the JP version. (Go ahead, make my day!)
- Co-runs a foundation with his brother for 'sub-humans' like them, clones, victims of life-recycling, etc. Commands their flagship and does their dirty work.
- Is 27, stopped himself from aging at 12. His brother is and looks 27, so Jr. acts like his son in public.
- Had an awesome red dragon tattoo in his unlockable swimsuit in the second game. But it was retconned and not in the first and third games.
- Quotes books like the Wizard of Oz and enjoys classic books from Earth. Squees over a restaurant called the Moby Dick looking just like the inside of the ship in the story.
- Can play a few instruments, but taught himself harmonica as a child.
- Has a 666 tattoo on his hand? (just in case nobody noticed, since it would be noticeable ICly XD)
- Pilots a giant robot.

Interesting things about the canon/fandom:
- Universe reset button. (not elaborating on that one because spoilers)
- Features actual Jesus.
- Futuristic space opera.
- Enemies are alien-like creatures who exist in imaginary space, so you need technology to actually be able to hit them.
- Many of the games relics and ~mysterious items~ are connected to or directly related to God.
- Xenogears references!
- One of two of the main characters is a godmode android who can summon guns out of hammerspace.
- All three games have funny sidequests revolving around a special attack in the form of a Power Rangers-esque ultimate giant robot.
- One character can behead himself and grow it back.
- Features synthetic humans.
- In the middle of the beamspam and robots there are two guys who swordfight.
- The captain of one of the two main spaceships in the series has a hat that says "I am a boozer. Banzai! Banzai!"
- Uh like shown in the comments above each game has unlockable swimsuits. :)
