Here are the character profiles for non-Knight characters of my own creation, who will appear throughout my Mon Colle Knights ficseries. I will get around to developing personalities for the Supporting Knights soon, but I'd like to get this out of the way first. If anything is missing from here or is created after posting this list, I'll be sure to add them in.
Before you click the lj-cut, make sure you've already read my entry containing the summaries for each fic (especially the lj-cut which reads "Important Note!!!").
Ceng, Sedra, Bhenq, Ivedi, Gasejo, and Warp: The six gods of Mon World. They all resemble normal humans, and Sedra is the only female of these six dieties.
These six beings were the ones who created what started out as Paleo Earth. However, during the Genesis of time, a false goddess named Pfizgiy came along and either possessed or conspired with Warp to turn against the other five gods. As a result, Paleo Earth was split into three worlds: Mon World, Man World, and Mech World (all of which were known simply as Earth by their respective inhabatants). Warp was successfully rid of Pfizgiy's influence but was quarantined within the Castle of Eternity until he would be fully purified. Believing him to be dead, Warp's worshippers swore to avenge him. (This was indeed what motivated Redda to attack Mon World, before he got carried away with the desire to create his own Time Realm.)
As of right now, I have no personalities for each of the gods, but I will come up with some eventually.
Pfizgiy: A false, evil goddess, whose element is Chaos. Unlike the true gods of Mon World, she does not look anything like a human. Instead, she resembles a cloak of red, tentacle-like membranes, complete with a metal, mohawk-like crown and a large jewel where her face should be.
During the Genesis of time, she was the one responsible for manipulating Warp to do her bidding. After Paleo Earth was split into three smaller worlds, the true gods sent her far away into the cosmos. Eons later, she returned to Mon World as a pink beam of energy, in an attempt to destroy the planet. Instead, though, the beam diffracted upon Mon World's atmosphere while still penetrating it, and became an evil energy then known as Giygas, or "Light of Chaos." Many disasters resulted, but each form of Giygas was contained in one of twenty-four Giygas Crystals, which were then left behind inside a temple chamber with no doors.
Pfizgiy is based on something from Digimon: Tamers called the Mother Reaper, the tower-like organism which gave life to the D-Reaper. Screenshots of the Mother Reaper and each of the D-Reaper's agents (as well as the D-Reaper itself) from that anime are available on Digidex, but right now, that site is down. I'll be sure to post a link to the webpage as soon as it's up and running again.
Midori Hiragi: The wife of Ichirobei Hiragi. Like Ichirobei, Midori is also an anthropologist [someone who studies culture], but she studies cultures in Man World. She (and her son Katsuo) had spent a number of years in New York City, and was still doing research there during the time period which Ichirobei, their daughter Rockna, and Mondo Ohya had been exploring Mon World. However, she and Katsuo did return some time after their last trip in Mon World, and will travel with them to Mon World for the first time once it's accessible.
Midori was never an active character in either the anime nor the manga. However, she did appear in volume 4, page 1 of the manga as a cameo. I didn't give her the name either. That name was assigned by someone who wrote a now-deleted fanfic titled Whisper, which makes sense because "midori" is the Japanese word for "green," which is the color of Rockna's hair and eyes.
Katsuo Hiragi: The irate, misogynistic, violent son of Ichirobei and Midori Hiragi. He is one of the the four Quadrant Knights (the other three being myself [Eric Ledger], Beginner, and Luke). He wears a red baseball cap, a black studded leather bracelet, a black t-shirt, and a pair of tan jeans. The shirt has two characters (similar to those on crosswalk and restroom signs; one male and one female), with the male character holding a gun at the female's head and saying "BITCH!" (written in white, blocky text below the two characters).
When Midori left Japan to do research in New York City, Katsuo chose to come with her, while his sister Rockna decided to stay in Japan with their father Ichirobei. While living in New York, he had trouble dealing with bullies at school. He did have friends, but most of the fellow students who tormented him were girls. After a while, he solved his problems by joining a gang. Doing so both protected him from further harrassment and enabled him to exact revenge on anyone who was female, regardless of whether or not they previously bullied him.
When he and Midori returned to Japan, he retained his bad boy persona, and became friends with fellow bullies who went to the same school as Mondo and Rockna. When it came time for the Hiragi family to once again explore Mon World, his parents were originally going to leave him at a relative's house instead, but Ichirobei's friend and colleague David McKnight insisted that they bring him to the Supporting Knights' headquarters (located in the fiery Edeeshkla Forest) for him to deal with instead. This made Katsuo even more resentful of the way his life was treating him. He knew that the Supporting Knights would not tolerate his antics, since there were relatively few of them; no matter, he would still get revenge on his family and McKnight for dragging him into a war with a bunch of kids who were selected from a cult that he never even joined. While at Fort Edeeshkla, he continued to harrass everyone there (especially the girls) in hopes of dragging down morale, getting himself in trouble time and time again, until an opportunity finally came for him to switch sides and truly avenge himself.
Katsuo is based on a sample character on page 44 of Katy Coope's book How To Draw Manga. While the original sample character has light brown hair (as well as missing the leather bracelet and shirt design), my version of the character's hair will be ebony, which is the color of his father's hair. As to why Coope's version of the character seems enthusiastic, please ask for details.
Professor David McKnight: A friend and colleague of Ichirobei Hiragi. Unlike Hiragi, he has a much more serious personality. Born in New York City.
McKnight was the first person to discover the Mystic Gene (a forgotten gene which is what gives people in Mon World their magical powers) after somehow having it activated during his childhood. After doing research on both Mon World and the gene, he then ran a cult for a number of years, from which he would select eighteen children as the Supporting Mon Colle Knights.
Takeshi Okimichi:A former bully that used to share the same 5th grade teacher (Naomi Loon) with Mondo and Rockna. Very obese. Wears a white t-shirt with the letters "SMW" written across the front.
Takeshi is the antagonist of Rockna and a Hard Place, who eventually went to jail for sexual blackmail against Rockna. He was actually sentenced for ten years, but it was cut short when he (among other prisoners worldwide) were recruited into Al Qaida as pawns of Osama bin Laden. After informing bin Laden about his grudge against the Mon Colle Knights, he was then given the honor to pilot a machine called the Giygaslayer (which will be described in my Terminology post), for the sole purpose of hunting the Knights down.
Takeshi actually appeared at the beginning of the first volume of the MCK manga. He wasn't actually a bully in the manga, but since he didn't appear at all in the anime, I figured he might as well be one anyway. His first name was random, but his last name is based on the name "Pokey Minch," a character from Earthbound whom I based this character on.
Ryo Kayami: A former flunkie of Takeshi's. Can be seen in this screenshot of episode Sheep Trick. (He's the one making the V-signs with both his hands.) He is first introduced in Chapter 2 of Rockna and a Hard Place, helping Takeshi rip Rockna's clothes off. After being rebuked at home, however, he becomes the one to finally lead his friends against Takeshi, thus liberating himself and everyone else from his control.
Osama bin Laden: We all know what he's famous for. What we don't know, though, that he was the one who created Nickelodeon (with some quite sinister intentions behind it).
Many years ago, while Mon World was under seige by Giygas, the inhabatants of Mech World sent a savior piloting a teleporting machine known as the Giygaslayer to fight along with Mon World's own inhabatants. However, during his mission, the original pilot became fatally ill, and while for some reason he made a trip to Man World, he yeilded the machine and its instructions to the first person willing to take the burden off of him.
That person was Osama bin Laden, who after saving Mon World, used the Giygaslayer and two of the twenty-four Giygas Crystals as his key to creating both Al Qaida and a new form of Giygas, known as the Slime-Giygas, along with a new respective Crystal to contain it. This new form of Giygas allowed him to create both raw slime and artificial life-forms. For the time being, the life forms he created would be trained to be characters in any show that was on Nickelodeon (while they were kept in a false form not suitable for fighting with); the raw slime would be utilized in various game shows that took place in Nickelodeon Studios, as a means of infecting people with a psychic virus which would put victims under his control when he needed something done, as well as activating their Mystic Gene.
After the initial attacks on the World Trade Center, while many people left New York City, anyone who was previously "slimed" on a Nickelodeon game show was ordered telepathically to migrate there. Not by coincidence, Mondo Ohya, Beginner, Luke, and the Hiragi family also relocated there under the orders of McKnight, so that they (along with the Supporting Knights) could attend meetings concerning the intentions of bin Laden.
During the year 2003, the people whom bin Laden ordered to relocate in NYC were then ordered to hold the entirety of Longwood High School hostage, using both the powers of their own Mystic Genes and a stockpile of weapons that bin Laden himself stored in the sewers of New York via the Giygaslayer. By inciting this insurrection, bin Laden hoped to remove the Mon Colle Knights as an obstacle to his plans. However, this failed, costing him too many infected pawns, so he then had his mainstream-Al Qaida memebers recruit people from prisons, including the one where Takeshi Okimichi was locked away. After being informed of Takeshi's vendetta against the Mon Colle Knights, he then gave Takeshi the honor and instructions to use the Giygaslayer while he would hijack the Utopian Eagle into Mon World. This was his only chance to, because the Giygaslayer was designed to protect the pilot from any influence of Giygas (which included his telepathic orders to infected people). However, since Takeshi was not a Muslim, bin Laden planned on killing him once his job was done.
Over the many years since bin Laden created the Slime-Giygas, he slowly lost control of its energy, at the rate in which a person changes as he or she ages. While remaining with the heavily-armed-and-armored Takeshi inside an organic fortress called the Nickelodeon Base (where the WTC used to stand), he completely lost control of the energy and shattered the crystal containing the Slime Giygas. This released whatever energy was inside the crystal, mutating his body and causing the Base to spawn bio-demons (the true forms of bin Laden's creations) throughout the by-now-evacuated NYC.
A century later, bin Laden was reborn for having saved Mon World from Giygas, despite his actions after having done so. (It is said that a fallen savior is still a savior nonetheless.) He planned to exact revenge on both the Mon Colle Knights and the international military organization known as CONTRA (Community of Nations to Repel Attacks) for dismantling Nickelodeon and Al Qaida respectively. However, without Al Qaida, he could not take on both groups, and chose to side with the Mon Colle Knights during their own conflict with CONTRA.
Commander Julius Maxwell: A corrupt official in the world military organization CONTRA (Community of Nations to Repel Attacks). Has a fierce temper, and only shows affection towards his own kin, such as his grandson Ashura. His face is somewhat wrinkled from aging, and his hair is white, but he has a very muscular build (which isn't noticeable underneath his uniform).
During the future, Commander Maxwell leads his armies into Spacequarters (the base of the Mon Colle Knights at the time) in hopes of obtaining the few Giygas Crystals that the Knights, Hiragi, and McKnight managed to save from the Giygas Tomb, and extracting their energy. When the Knights refuse to allow him to have his way, he then resorts to imprisoning whichever ones he can, and allowing CONTRA's scientists to research their Mystic Genes. After this is foiled, he eventually resorts to having his soldiers plant bombs throughout Spacequarters. After the Knights find out about the bombs, they capture Maxwell himself, bringing him to the Utopian Eagle for sentencing while they themselves evacuate SQ.
Ashura Maxwell: The grandson of Commander Maxwell, who aspires to become a member of CONTRA. He has absolute loyalty towards his grandfather, no matter what he does, and refuses to allow himself to become friends with the Mon Colle Knights.
Ashura's abilities include extremely high speed, gliding across floors on one foot (when moving diagonally), "spin-dashing" (similar to Sonic the Hedgehog), and running up or across walls and ceilings. He can use firearms, chainsaws, and other kinds of weapons well, but his main weapon is a pair of knives, which along with allowing himself to cut enemies up at close range, also produce static electricity when used properly. Stabbing or even touching someone with both blades send an electrical current through that person. Connecting the blades sends streams of electricity flying in various directions, which he can control to attack multiple enemies.
This character is based on a pseudo-canon character from the Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, who was also dubbed "Ashura" by someone named Chris Mugg. He will also have a simliar green-and-black hairstyle to that character. A pic of the original Ashura character can be found here. (There are other pics, but I like that one the best because it's nice and evil-looking).
Sorry to spoil too much of the ficseries with the biographies (especially that of Osama bin Laden), but it is important that I clarify these things, so as to avoid confusing anyone reading any future references to my ficseries.
