Line #121 Characters/AssistMe


1	The colorful crew of ''WebVideo/AssistMe''.
2
3	! Main Characters
4
5	!! Maximilian Christiansen (Max)
6	->'''Played by:''' [[AsHimself Maximilian Christiansen]]
7
8	Our everyman protagonist living in a world where Marvel and Capcom characters exist. Max's skill as a fighting game player and teacher have attracted the attention of all manner of heroes and villains.
9
10	* AuthorAvatar
11	* BadassNormal: Manages to hold his own against superpowered bioterrorists, zombies, and a KnightTemplar from the future using nothing but his knowledge of fighting games. And occasionally an assault rifle.
12	* BerserkMode: In the ''Alien'' special, he gets frequently delegated to just playing games while the rest of the team is busy hunting Aliens. [[spoiler:After having enough of being pushed around, he turns into the [[WebVideo/TwoBestFriendsPlay Scrublord]], who immediately wants to beat something up.]]
13	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Seems to be easygoing and not much besides a video game nerd, but he ''[[LetsGetDangerous will]]'' step up if the situations calls for it.
14	* ButtMonkey: Stuck with an obnoxious roommate? Check. Has to deal periodically with insane, psychotic supernatural beings? Check. Often pulled into one of Doom's plans and shenanigans? Check. Targeted by assassins for (so far) unknown reasons? Big check.
15	* TheDanza:
16	* HiddenDepths: If his knowledge of guns is something to be taken seriously BewareTheNiceOnes indeed.
17	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Used his ''arcade stick'' more than once to beat the hell out of bad guys.
18	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Everyone in the series just calls him "Max".
19	* OnlySaneMan: Max has to keep a lid on Doom's antics and prevent fights breaking out in his house on a regular basis.
20	* SkewedPriorities: Whenever faced with a dilemma that could either save the world or video games, always count on Max going for the video games. This ends up biting him in the ass as of the ''Alien'' mini-movie, where people tell him to stay on the sides and play video games since it's assumed that's all he's good at.
21	* SuperpoweredEvilSide: Scrublord Max, when his sodium levels have gone on a recorded high. It first appeared in the [=BioFREAKS=] Boss Rage before making a return for the ''Alien'' episode.
22	* TheAllSolvingHammer: His [=MadCatz=] Tournament Edition Arcade Stick. [[spoiler:Works as a nice way to break a jaw and to protect himself from getting shot.]]
23	* UnskilledButStrong: He can't fight very well, but can hit hard enough to break someone's jaw.
24
25	!! Doctor Victor Von Doom
26	->'''Played by:''' Matthew Simmons
27
28	Ruler of Latveria, Master Scientist and... crasher of Max's apartment. This Dr. Doom is a little different from his more familiar counterparts.
29
30	* BerserkButton: Taking his yogurt, messing with his pony figurines and hurting Strider will generally result in immediate Finger Lasers or flung arcade sticks.
31	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Although he mainly goofs off and rubs people the wrong way he is ''Doom'' and will kick some serious ass if things gets really dangerous. [[spoiler:The fights against Wesker, Captain Commando[[note]]While ''nerfed''[[/note]] and Taskmaster should be more than enough to prove this.]]
32	* BreakTheBadass: Suffers from this [[spoiler:after Phoenix is easily mind-screwed]]. Whatever did that he's ''not'' eager to face.
33	* BullyingADragon: During the VideoGame/SuperSmashBros episode, he pisses off Link.
34	* ButtMonkey: Loses most of his Marvel 3 matches prior to Max's tutorial, punched by Chris and gets mauled in the face by Rocket Raccoon.
35	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In Doom's first appearance he was what you expect from Doom, actually acting like a LargeHam supervillain and an extremely big {{Jerkass}}. Now, though he's the ruler of a country, he's still a LargeHam, but acts like a freeloader off of Max's apartment and is frequently the ButtMonkey.
36	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite his general attitudes, Doom is a surprisingly competent fighter when things gets dire and never backs away whenever he gets into a fight.
37	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Although he's taken down several [[BigBad Big Bads]], is a moderately skilled RealityWarper and saves Max's skin at least once per season, he gets the least respect of everyone. Mostly because of his {{Jerkass}} tendencies.
38	* FinishingMove: The "human blender".
39	* ForcedTransformation: Doom decides to drink a potion Max had to make for Ultratech. [[spoiler:He turns into Benny in the shape of Sabrewulf.]]
40	* GeniusDitz: Very rarely will the "Doctor" part of his title come into play, but it's there for a reason.
41	* HopelessSuitor: To X-23.
42	* IronButtmonkey: He often either gets beaten or chastised by the guest characters for his dickness.
43	* ItsAllAboutMe: He manages to have an ego rivalling Wesker's but without the AGodAmI. Doom can't get enough about bragging how awesome he is and how he can curb-stomp anyone he feels like. Doom often pesters guests with this and ends up paying for it usually in hilarious fashion.
44	* JerkAss: And proud of it. [[spoiler:Actually a JerkWithAHeartOfGold]] kind of well hidden, but still there.
45	* LargeHam: Natch.
46	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: All of ''Ultimate Assist Me'' and the latter part of ''Retro Assist Me'' are caused by Doom's mistakes.]]
47	* NotSoStoic: Although he isn't [[TheStoic Stoic]] [[{{Jerkass}} by any means]], Doom ''very'' rarely shows that he enjoy's someone company, however Strider Hiryu makes him go uncharacteristically joyful.
48	* PreAssKickingOneLiner: [[http://youtu.be/5hKPyuXEXwA?t=1m "Get ready for losers brackets, scrubs! Doom is coming to town!"]]
49	* RealMenWearPink: Doom is proud to be a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic brony]] and does not care what anyone else thinks. Same deal for his actor (to the point where he called himself "Derpy Hooves" in his & Max's playthrough of ''VideoGame/AliensColonialMarines'').
50	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Doom comes dangerously close to this with his antics and shenanigans. In his defense he also saved Max's life on more than one occasion.
51	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: He's very aware of this and doesn't seem to give a single damn. In fact, he seems to ''enjoy'' when people remind him of this.
52	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: "Doom loves yogurt. And beer."
53	* RealityWarper: Doctor Doom. He can get anything he wants just by snapping his fingers. [[SubvertedTrope Except]] [[StatusQuoIsGod get with X-23, apparently]].
54	* SignatureMove: '''THE FINGER LASERS!!!'''
55	* SirSwearsalot: He is the most prone to crude and vulgar kinds of phrasing.
56	* SpiderSense: Doom has a "ninja sense". Naturally, any time it goes off, [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} Strider Hiryu]] will appear.
57	* VerbalTic: He makes a [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Penguin-esque]] squawking noise when walking, more often than not.
58	* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: The finger lasers are Doom's one-size-fits-all move, even when it's really impractical.
59
60	!! [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Albert Wesker]]
61	->'''Played by:''' Michael Young
62
63	The [[CharacterTiers God Tier]] bioterrorist and CardCarryingVillain of the ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' series. Apparently became a friend/enemy of Doom and Max [[spoiler: through meddling in time during ''Retro Assist Me''.]]
64	----
65	%%* AGodAmI
66	* AnswersToTheNameOfGod: Yeah, Wesker is egotistical like that.
67	* AnimalsHateHim: Ammy simply mauls him the first time he tries to pet her like everyone else. [[spoiler:Subverted after he starts living with Max, he sort of tame and gets her to calm down to the point she doesn't bite the neighbors anymore.]]
68	* BerserkButton: Don't mess with his italian shades, and also [[LargeHam CHRIII]][[SayMyName IIIIISSS!!!]]
69	* BigBad: Of Season 1.
70	* BreakTheHaughty: Suffers from this after Season 1 when all his plans goes to hell, it does take him a second trip to the TV to make him learn, though.
71	* CardCarryingVillain: [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Albert Wesker]] as he is working on reports, climbing the corporate ladder and [[AGodAmI becoming a god]].
72	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Originally Wesker was the BigBad of Season 1 and probably the most threatening villain in the series with a few instances of RealMenWearPink thrown in for [[RuleOfFunny comedy]], such as the Nyan Cat ringtone. After [[spoiler: he saves Max and Doom from Deadpool]], he still insists on becoming a god and defeating Doom. He's a lot less threatening and even [[EnemyMine teams up with Doom and Hiryu]] to stop the GreaterScopeVillain showing no scorn towards Max or even Doom.
73	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: See HeelFaceRevolvingDoor for details.
74	* CoolShades: They're '''ITALIAN''' and cost five hundred dollars!
75	* CutLexLuthorACheck: Partially averted when he decides to go job hunting.
76	* DemotedToExtra: In ''Retro Assist Me!'', while he is a major character he still gets significantly less screen time. Might be case of RealLifeWritesThePlot due to his wife's pregnancy.
77	* EmbarrassingTattoo: Hilariously has "God Tier" written on his back, done while he was drunk in Vegas alongside Doom and X-23 (Laura).
78	%%* GlowingEyesOfDoom
79	%%* FlashStep: Par the course.
80	* FirstNameBasis: Will rarely, if ever, address someone by their last name.
81	* HesBack: After seasons of things going south for him, in Season 3 Wesker seems to be getting out of the ButtMonkey zone [[spoiler:by tracking down who sent the assassins to kill Max and dropping most of his silliness]].
82	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: And '''how'''. Starts genuinely evil and threatening, then all of his plans goes to hell and he returns as Max and Doom are the closest thing he has to "friends", but then he tries to kill them as Doom discover he's working for Galactus and intending to use Nemesis to kill him and Max, then he is [[ItMakesSenseInContext enclosed into the TV]], then he saves Max and Doom from [[spoiler:Deadpool]] and works alongside Doom and Strider to save Max's life from [[spoiler:Taskmaster, M.O.D.O.K. and Deadpool]].
83	* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn]]: [[spoiler:Seems to have joined Max and Doom as a regular room mate after the events of Season 2.]]
84	* HiddenDepths: ''A lot''. He only tends to spill while he's anguished or plain drunk, though.
85	* LargeHam: Wouldn't be Wesker without it.
86	* MadeOfIron: Among his list of wounds are: broken jaw by Max's arcade stick, being seized and blasted by Doom's "human blender", being thrown into the TV and mauled by Nemesis and several zombies and shot several times by [[spoiler:Taskmaster]].
87	* PowerIncontinence: Could only teleport in conjunction with his gun in his first appearance.
88	* RealMenWearPink: He also cooks and does house chores.
89	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: He apparently has a thing for tacos.
90	* TheAlcoholic: Even more so than Doom. He drinks an entire bottle of vodka to drown his sorrows and frustrations.
91	* TheChewToy: He takes an inordinate amount of punishment in this series - most likely because [[GoodThingYouCanHeal he can take it]], and because he's got ChronicBackstabbingDisorder.
92	* TheComicallySerious: Once he starts living with Max and Doom. Seeing him doing house chores wearing a silly apron while on his S.T.A.R.S. uniform is pure gold.
93	* TheDreaded: ButtMonkey or not he's still '''Albert Wesker''' and Chris understandably treats him as the threat he poses. A small advance against one of Chris' partners is enough to make him almost crap his pants. Enough for Wesker to leave with a grin that yells "I still got it".
94	* TookALevelInKindness: Little by little, but this is especially notable in the Season 2 finale. [[spoiler:Not only he teams up with Doom and Strider to save Max's life, he also pays everyone tacos]].
95	* SignatureMove: His TeleportSpam is undoubtedly his favorite move.
96	* {{Tsundere}}: Yeah, you read it right. After [[spoiler:his HeelFaceTurn in Deadpool's episode he starts living with Max and Doom and gets progressively closer to them. But being Wesker he'd never admit this.]]
97	* VillainDecay: From a threatening near invincible superpowered bioterrorist to [[spoiler:a roommate who shares space with two guys he previously tried to kill ''twice'' and not being able even to get a job as a janitor]]. Ouch.
98
99	!! [[VideoGame/{{Okami}} Amaterasu]]
100	The TeamPet. Hasn't had a major role yet, but is a recurring character and [[EnsembleDarkhorse very popular with the fans.]] Also serves as Hiryu's summon. Played by Max's pomeranian, Benny.
101
102	* BadassAdorable: Looks like a Pomeranian but will mess you up if she doesn't like you.
103	%%* CuteBruiser
104	* KillerRabbit: Threatens and strike fear into hearts of dictators, bioterrorists and mutant mercenaries all alike.
105	* MakeTheDogTestify: In Ultimate Assist Me.
106	* RecurringExtra: Technically speaking, she's just been there for the RunningGag of mauling anyone she doesn't like.
107
108	!! [[VideoGame/{{Strider}} Strider Hiryu]]
109	->'''Played by:''' Ben Shuman
110
111	* CoolSword
112	* OddFriendship:
113	** While it make perfect sense with their synergy in-game, who'd have thought the stoic ninja fighting for justice would be the closest friend of Dr. Doom?
114	** Hiryu also doesn't seem to have any qualms on hanging with Wesker either. [[spoiler:Even though the latter tried to arrest the former in ''Retro Assist Me''.]]
115	* TheComicallySerious: Willingly participates in Doom's silliness, the whole while keeping a [[TheStoic stoic]] face.
116
117	! Guests
118
119	!! X-23 (Laura)
120	->'''Played by:''' Tess Christiansen
121
122	* HotBlooded
123	* OddFriendship: Shares one with Doom, Wesker and Max.
124	* {{Tsundere}}: Very rough exterior, but actually does appreciate Max's lessons and [[spoiler:ends up gaining feelings for Doom when she realizes he defeated Wesker. Until they try to kiss, anyway.]]
125	* VictoriasSecretCompartment: A rare example where the user is ''not'' proud of it.
126	* WolverineClaws: Natch.
127
128	!! Jill Valentine
129	->'''Played by:''' Spif Zaya
130
131	* BrainwashedAndCrazy
132	* MsFanservice: Wesker lampshades this by saying that using her ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' model in the game allowed her to wear her sexy SpyCatsuit.
133	* TheQuietOne: [[spoiler:Up until she breaks out of Wesker's control]]
134
135	!! Ghost Rider
136	->'''Played by:''' [[spoiler:Maximilian Christiansen]]
137
138	* ActorAllusion: Convoluted example [[spoiler:He possesses Max, who is repeatedly noted to look like Nicholas Cage.]]
139	* OddFriendship: The only reason Ghost Rider and Doom become friends is because Doom regrets nothing, meaning that the Penance Stare failed.
140
141	!! Vergil
142	->'''Played by:''' Sean Boundy
143
144	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas
145	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Subverted.]]
146	* IaijutsuPractitioner
147	* WhiteHairBlackHeart
148	* WorthyOpponent: Promptly states that Max will make him to be as good as his brother.
149	* YourMom: Doom tries this on him. [[BerserkButton it nearly ends poorly for Doom.]]
150
151	!! Phoenix Wright
152	->'''Played by:''' David Philip Graham [="UltraDavid"=]
153
154	* ActorSharedBackground: Wright is played by David "[=UltraDavid=]" Graham, both a notable personality in the Fighting Game Scene and being a lawyer in real life.
155
156	!! Rocket Raccoon
157	->'''Voiced by:''' Micheal Young
158
159	* PintsizedPowerhouse: Natch.
160	* SirSwearsALot
161
162	!! ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}
163	->'''Played by:''' Micheal Young
164
165	* FaceHeelTurn: He's a mercenary, so if there's money in he'll kill anyone... [[spoiler:Even Max]].
166	* FourthWallObserver: Wouldn't be Deadpool without it.
167	** His first scene is him pointing a gun at Max because he was left out of Season 1.
168	-->'''Max''': Season 1 of what?!
169	-->'''Deadpool''': ''(AsideGlance)''
170	** He points out the "little white box" to Max and Doom, and Doom proceeds to take it down from its current position.
171	** He directly talks to the viewers in deciding whether or not to [[spoiler:kill Max]].
172	* RecurringBoss: Comes back to try score his top dollar, but this time [[spoiler:alongside Taskmaster and M.O.D.O.K.]].
173	* TriggerHappy: [[spoiler:Especially when someone's willing to pay a lot of money to get Max killed. It took Wesker to stop him from killing Max and Doom.]]
174
175	!! [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Chris Redfield]]
176	->'''Played by:''' DJ Danielson
177
178	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse. Canon!Chris: A man out to fight the evils of bio-terrorism wherever it may be. This!Chris: A dudebro that's in it for machoism and kicks.
179	* MegatonPunch: Can punch hard enough to make Doom ''cry''.

182	->'''Played by:''' Andrew Schieffer
183
184	!! Todd Jennings
185	->'''Played by:''' Dave Thomas

196
197	* PreAssKickingOneLiner: "I am the ass-kicker and you are the ''ass-kickee!''"
198	* PowerCopying: [[spoiler:Manages to copy Wesker's teleports of all things.]]
199	* OnlyInItForTheMoney: He's a mercenary after all.
200
201	!! Dante
202	->'''Played by:''' Ben Shuman
203
204	* BrainBleach: Suffers from this after hunting a demon in Max's house. [[spoiler:Turns out it was Doom groaning after eating too much]].
205
206	! Retro Assist Me Characters
207
208	!! Thanos
209	->'''Played by:''' Micheal Young
210
211	* DiscOneFinalBoss: The problem ends up becoming [[spoiler:Captain Commando]] after Doom meddles in the previous timeline.
212	* GroinAttack: Claims he's going to do this repeatedly to Max after the latter beat him using [[GameBreaker an infinite]].
213	* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: [[spoiler:Him being nice and friendly towards Max and Doom after they come back from the past is the first hint something went ''very'' wrong]].
214	* TheFaceless: During ''Retro Assist Me'', the camera never shows us Thanos' face, though according to statements from Max [[NightmareFace that might be for the best]].
215
216	!! Bruce Banner
217	->'''Played by:''' Ben Shuman
218
219	* CooldownHug: Doom stems Banner's rage [[spoiler:with a picture of [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Felicia]].]]
220	* YouWontLikeMeWhenImAngry: The TropeNamer says it word for word but thanks to Doom he doesn't go through with it.
221
222	!! VideoGame/CaptainCommando
223	->'''Played by:''' Jack Conway
224
225	* AdaptationalVillainy: A justified example due to his Well-intentioned extremism.
226	* BigBad: Of ''Retro Assist Me''.
227	* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler:Averts the WhyDontYaJustShootHim and nonchalantly shoots Max during the climax of ''Retro Assist Me''.
228	* CoolShades: Natch.
229	* FantasticRacism: Towards "bad guy" characters. So much so, that he might as well be a Wreck-it Ralph villain.
230	* HeroAntagonist
231	* SharpDressedMan: Dons a pretty cool white tuxedo in one of his appearances.
232	* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:In spades after messing with the timeline and becoming Top Tier]].
233	* TookALevelInJerkass: Living long enough as a totalitarian jerk tends to do this to people.
234	* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Doesn't take well when Max and Doom starts to fumble his plans]].
235	* WalkingSpoiler: To the point where this entry formerly had most trope names hidden by spoiler markup (which is against TV Tropes guidelines, hence why it was removed).
236	* WaveMotionGun: One of his attacks.
237	* WellIntentionedExtremist: His intentions are primarily good [[spoiler:but he goes too far meddling with the timeline because of his KnightTemplar mindset]].
238

240	->'''Played by:''' Nikki Brunetti
241

243
244	!Others
245
246	!! {{Franchise/Batman}}
247	->'''Played by:''' Micheal Young
248
249	!! [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]
250	->'''Played by:''' Micheal Young
251
252	A character who has fought through the ages, suddenly ends up in Max's house to discuss ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' for UsefulNotes/WiiU.
253	* BerserkButton: Suggesting that Smash isn't a real fighting game. Doom found out how much Smash means to Link the hard way.
254	* BraveScot: He's the carrier of the Triforce of Courage, and he speaks in a Scottish accent.
255	* DarkerAndEdgier: His overall design screams this, with an EyepatchOfPower, a beard, and an overall air of seriousness. [[spoiler:He kills Doom for suggesting that Smash isn't [[SeriousBusiness a real fighting game.]] Max goads him to bring him back to life though, so he does.]]
256	* EyepatchOfPower
257	* {{Jerkass}}: Mainly towards Doom.

265	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:He fights the Predator to buy time for Benny and the others to escape and gets caught in the self destruct explosion as he does. Only his hockey mask is left]].
266	* HostileShowTakeover: Jason's only reason to go to Max's house was to [[spoiler:play as himself in VideoGame/MortalKombatX]]
267	* TheVoiceless: Played completely straight.
268	* TragicKeepsake: The hockey mask is all that's left of Jason after [[spoiler:he and the Predator blow up]].
269	* YouShallNotPass: His lone fight against the [[spoiler:Predator]] can be viewed as this.
270
271	!! [[Franchise/{{Predator}} The Predator]]
272
273	* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Does this as he's about to blow up]].
