History Characters / PennyArcade

* Badass: Facing Jim, an undead skeleton necromancer in "Armadeaddon," Tycho goes, "I'll handle this." Pulling out his red d20, he says, "Roll for initiative." He gets a "natural 20"--this gets Jim to KnowWhenToFoldEm (and realize someone who can roll natural 20s can only ensure he'd beat Jim's scenario).

* {{Keet}}: Though rather more rude and crude than normal.

* HumanoidAbomination: Maybe, maybe not. He seems to enjoy cultivating that appearance, and his eyes subtly glow red when he's particularly angry, not to mention his infamously disturbing speech in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/4/10/ "I Hope You Like Text"]]...

The wordy, intellectual, and cynical half of the ''Penny Arcade'' duo, when the characters of Gabe and Tycho first diverged Tycho was something of the {{straight man}} to Gabe's more wild enthusiasm. However, he quickly developed into a character as strange if not stranger. Tycho is known for his love of literature and wordplay, his overwritten fantasy series Epic Legends of the Hierarchs: The Elemenstor Saga, his *ahem* love of animals, and his deep knowledge of horrors that man was not meant to know.

* LieBackAndThinkOfEngland: Tycho [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/05/16 describes his coupling]] as "dutiful" and "terrified".

* HiddenDepths: Very seriously into Country-Western dancing.
* GameMaster: "Your party stands before the Cave of Tits."

Tycho's young niece who shares her uncle's intellect and love of gaming, but only a ''little'' of his depravity. Despite her age, she played Final Fantasy on the Famicom... in the original Japanese. Is not to be trifled with.

* CovertPervert
* EnsembleDarkhorse

* LetsGetDangerous: Can, if necessary, activate Code Omega. [[GoryDiscretionShot We don't see what this entails]], but it's enough to turn a horde of zombies into chunky salsa.

Yeah, [[TheBible that one]]. In addition to being the Lord and Saviour of Mankind, he loves fighting games, first person shooters, and is, in general, [[JesusWasWayCool fucking metal]].

Orignally known as Chuck, an anti-Apple strawman, he had a great fall and was retolled as the hipper Charles. Lives across from Gabe and Tycho and ocasinally visits to talk about Apple-based matters.

* RapeAsComedy: Gabe has described it as "a literal rapist", although its only actual victims have been oranges and zombies so far. It has been shown acting... ''creepily'' towards the protagonists' wives, however.

* HumanoidAbomination: Maybe, maybe not. He seems to enjoy cultivating that appearance, and his eyes subtly glow red when he's particularly angry, not to mention his infamously disturbing speech in [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/4/10/ "I Hope You Like Text"]...

* KillerGameMaster: Attempting to impart his wisdom onto Gabe, nonetheless.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: The Cardboard Tube Samurai IS Gabe. Therefore he can slice things up with a perfectly round tube. He can actually cause nosebleeds by hating someone, which MAY be caused by the fact that Darth Vader might be his dad. Oh, and he got a blood infusion from SpiderMan.
