History Characters / DrawYourOwnStory

* FirstGirlWins: [[{{Metroid}} Samus]] in 10.5, [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Jill Valentine]] in 11.

* BritishAccents: He's certainly justified in their use.

A contributor with an understandably British sense of humour. Most of his comics derive from Nickelodeon cartoons (WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents and [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants]] especially) and WorldWarII paraphernalia.

* HannibalHasAPoint: In an exceptionally rare instance of the ''villain'' having the last laugh, Hacker Prime challenges whether [=CivGeneral=]'s pursuit is motivated by anything more than petty revenge. The revelation that Hackergeddon was the work of android doubles means his ''true'' culpability remains ambiguous, and he questions what purpose his death would serve given the rest of the world assumes his last stand was at Wetickra. [=CivGeneral=] kills him anyway just as Zheng He attempts to intervene, then immediately admits that the admiral would have wanted to take him to trial.

* OurGodsAreGreater: indeed, all the Essental Beings.

* CoolCar: His [[Film/BackToTheFuture DeLorean]] TimeMachine

A contributor with an understandably British sense of humour. Most of his comics derive from Nickelodeon cartoons (TheFairlyOddParents and [[SpongeBobSquarePants SpongeBob SquarePants]] especially) and WorldWarII paraphernalia.

A newer contributor active midway through DYOS XI, self-professed homosexual, [[FurryFandom furry]], and SonicTheHedgehog fan, all of which he plays for laughs.

* JadeColoredGlasses: Partly due to depression, partly due to DYOS 10.5's shift towards GreyAndGrayMorality, and partly due to his experience in ImperiumOfftopicum.

* BreaktheHaughty: Self-inflicted. Afterwords, he started to become a much nicer person.

* FourthDateMarriage: to [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Jill Valentine]]. Technically they knew each other, but that was year ago.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation
* HairTriggerTemper: He's been a lot better at controlling his temper.
* HumanPopsicle: For the first half of DYOS 11. WordofGod states it was an explanation for his three month absence.
* JadeColoredGlasses

* TheResenter

* GenreShift: Most notable example. His early comics were comedic shorts; when he got involved in the Gem arc, he took on a much darker tone and the trappings of a psychological thriller. Now he’s back to the funny pages.

Brother of Stylesrj. When they first joined in DYOS 5, they took turns writing what was essentially the same comic. While they continue to share characters, over time they came to develop divergent styles. Stylesjl's comics are primarily dialogue-driven shorts that often include references to current events. Recently they follow a two-part formula, where the former half deals with the ongoing story and the latter half is devoted to a FourthWallMailSlot.

Brother of Stylesjl. When they first joined in DYOS 5, they took turns writing what was essentially the same comic. While they continue to share characters, over time they came to develop divergent styles. Stylesrj's comics carry a campy action feel and begin and end with a narrator segment that occasionally spins off into its own subplot.

* LastGirlWins: [[DeadorAlive Ayane]] in 11.

Dr. Breen was pulled straight from ''[[HalfLife Half-Life 2]]'' as the leader of the Combine Empire. In DYOS 10, he emerges shortly before General Grievous[[note]]Yes, [[StarWars that Grievous]][[/note]] is killed to supplant kulade as the BigBad. Breen becomes the president of the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Enclave]] in DYOS 10.5, only to face a string of successive defeats that lead to his capture.

* TheBadGuyWins: In DYOS 10, [=CivCube=]'s evil avatar killed him off and has remained his main character since.[[hottip:*: He's still called [=CivCube=] by the other characters, though.]] May represent a shift to VillainProtagonist.

* ScarsAreForever: An abrupt comic by Nuclear Kid had Kan' taken hostage and his left leg amputated. While he admitted to sometimes forgetting which leg he'd lost, in all future stories Kan' depicted himself with a peg leg.[[hottip:*:Following his DYOS 11 regeneration, however, it's flesh-and-bone once more.]]

* TheAtoner

!!lord_joakim

!!Taniciusfox
A newer contributor, self-professed homosexual, [[FurryFandom furry]], and SonicTheHedgehog fan, all of which he plays for laughs.

Chief villain of DYOS 11, at least at the outset.

** Then came the climax, [[TookALevelInBadass and the "real" hacker took the stage.]]

* BadassAbnormal in DYOS 10.5: Samus saves his life through a blood transfusion to counter TheVirus, imbuing him with Metroid and Chozo DNA.
** In DYOS 11, Wesker [[BroughtDownToNormal brings him down to normal]].

* TheHero: He's the main protagonist in every major story arc. Recently he's tried to shake up his spot on the SlidingScaleOfAntiHeroes.

* TallDarkAndBishoujo

* SmallNameBigEgo: Sad but true. Especially when falling through the DespairEventHorizon after losing his job and [[ItGotWorse suffering a major depression]].

* FourthDateMarriage: to [[ResidentEvil Jill Valentine]]. Technically they knew each other, but that was year ago.
* FirstGirlWins: [[{{Metroid}} Samus]] in 10.5, [[ResidentEvil Jill Valentine]] in 11.

* BLAMEpisode: Most of his comics, especially the more recent contributions, are treated as this.

The creator of DrawYourOwnStory. He was very active in the early years and has returned again; although like many others recently, new additions have been infrequent.

Some of the notable characters from DrawYourOwnStory. For a more complete (and '''much''' more detailed) list, see [[http://dyos.wikkii.com/wiki/Category:Characters its own wiki]].

* DisContinuity: What usually happens to his comics.

* CoolCar: His [[BackToTheFuture DeLorean]] TimeMachine

Dr. Breen was pulled straight from ''[[HalfLife Half-Life 2]]'' as the leader of the Combine Empire. In DYOS 10, he emerges shortly before General Grievous[[hottip:*:Yes, [[StarWars that Grievous]] is killed to supplant kulade as the BigBad. Breen becomes the president of the [[{{Fallout}} Enclave]] in DYOS 10.5, only to face a string of successive defeats that lead to his capture.

A participant from the early years. While still active on the forums, he hasn't contributed since DYOS 5. Even so, he carries considerable star power, and is still referenced in new installments. Curt is in real life the creator of the independent comic series ''Total Fear''.

!!Perfection
Another DYOS 1 veteran, although even at the best of times his comics rarely follow the immediate story.

* VillainDecay: At the start of the story his actions were dangerously unpredictable; he'd commit random assassinations and in one instance obliterated downtown Sydney, Australia. Over time inaction on his part and the heroes' victories diminished his perceived threat. Now he's lost the villainous spotlight to Wesker and his beatdown by Marsha Conrad pretty much shattered any remaining air of menace.
** Until recently when he started to weaponize [[DwarfFortress carp]]

Dr. Breen was pulled straight from ''[[HalfLife Half-Life 2]]'' as the leader of the Combine Empire.

* BLAMEpisode: Most of his comics, especially the more recent contributions, are treated as this; [[YourMileageMayVary whether or not they deserve it...]]

A fairly recent contributor notable as one of the few who consistently hand-draws the story. He's a sort of roving vigilante, traveling with [[AquaTeenHungerForce a giant walking milkshake]] and an assassin called Valerie.

** In DYOS 11, [[spoiler: Wesker [[BroughtDownToNormal brings him down to normal]].]]

!!Kan' Sharuminar
Another veteran and hobby cartoonist. While he tries to remain active in new stories, he tends to drop out if the plot becomes overly convoluted. Even so, he carries a similar reputation as [=CurtSibling=].

* ScarsAreForever: An abrupt comic by Nuclear Kid had Kan' taken hostage and his left leg amputated. While he admitted to sometimes forgetting which leg he'd lost, in all future stories Kan' depicted himself with a peg leg.

!!Lucifer
[=DaemonDD=]' s main character, an "Essential Being" whose ultimate aim is to rebuild the universe in his image. Despite the name, he shouldn't be confused with the Biblical {{Satan}}, who has appeared as a character in his own right.

The OppositeSexClone of [=CivGeneral=]. Originally intended for [=CivGeneral=] to [[BodySurf transfer his soul into]]. Awakened by his old nemesis, she desires to resurrect the [[StarWars Galactic Empire]] as well as [[HeroKiller kill him]].

* BoomerangBigot: An Earthling who despises Earth

* CainAndAbel: Cain to [=CivGeneral=]'s Abel
* CloningBlues
* CrazyPrepared

* EvilSoundsDeep

* NiceHat
** CommissarCap: ShoutOut to [[StreetFighter M. Bison]].
* InsignificantLittleBluePlanet: Holds a strong view on this after learning about the infighting that happened in DYOS past.
* [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou Only One Allowed to Defeat]]/[[OnlyICanKillHim Kill Him]]: Holds this view towards [=CivGeneral=].
* OppositeSexClone: To [=CivGeneral=]

!!Dr. Wallace Breen
Dr. Breen was pulled straight from ''[[HalfLife Half-Life 2]]'' as the leader of the Combine Empire. In DYOS 10, he emerges shortly before General Grievous[[hottip:*:Yes, [[StarWars that Grievous]]]] is killed to supplant kulade as the BigBad. Breen becomes the president of the [[{{Fallout}} Enclave]] in DYOS 10.5, only to face a string of successive defeats that lead to his capture.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Both in regard to the source material ''and'' between contributors. In one comic by Thorvald, Breen seems to figure out Corporal Reitan's CrypticConversation, but in subsequent comics by [=CivGeneral=], he's unfazed by whatever he learned. This is revisited in DYOS 10.5 when Breen confronts [=CivGeneral=] and appears much more frightened, going so far as to suggest [[EnemyMine he'll join the good guys in fighting the Combine]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Breen refuses to [[Webcomic/SchlockMercenary mind-rip]] Corporal Reitan, even though it would skip the excruciatingly frustrating interrogations.

!!Rocket
Taillesskangaru's alter ego (he's depicted as a rocket, based on the poster's old avatar). He is cold, manipulating and revels in chaos.

* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans

!!The Clone Guild
A loose collection of villains introduced by e350tb in DYOS 10.5 known for using cloning technology, hence the name.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Colonel Sykes... until things fail to go according to plan.
* LaughablyEvil: General Valorum seems to be heading in this direction when he was first introduced, until taillesskangaru started putting him in his stories.
