Top Index | Lore Characters (Nominators and Co. (6k1 and Power Stroke; Eye-Sicle's Lair; Bale's Base), Tributes, Villains (The Legion of Doom; The Mawkin and Dark Stanford))

Eye-Sicle is the ill-tempered polar bear nominator who operates out of a large ice-covered castle in District 9. Assisting him is the arctic fox professor Stanford and a large cast of other characters from other different worlds who get involved in the adventures of the nominators.

Due to consisting of multiple distinct characters who all take part in different arcs, Eye-Sicle, Stanford, and the group at Eye-Sicle's Lair have had been moved to their own page. For the rest of the nominators and their assistants, click here.

    General Tropes 
  • Ensemble Cast: Eye-Sicle and his crew are regulars in most of the arcs, with each one of them getting their own spotlight in them.

    Eye-Sicle 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eye_sicle_hgs_v_c.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442
A polar bear who is the "official" nominator of the location. He is the hot-headed nemesis of Miss Ball, one of the people he forced Stanford to summon. A meteor gave him a laser sight that replaces one eye.

  • Accidental Murder: Accidentally used dynamite for Starfall's birthday candles in the 4th Reboot Nominator Games (Season 200).
  • Affably Evil: Although Eye-Sicle is a known villain in his homeworld, he's perfectly congenial with if not outright friendly to the other nominators (to the point that he resuscitates Artsy Geek at the beginning of Season 150), occasionally treats tributes respectfully if they had a really bad time in a season (such as Snap during Season 142), and doesn't bother Stanford's companions unless he's really cheesed off.
  • Aloof Leader, Affable Subordinate: The Aloof Leader to Stanford's Affable Subordinate, as he often gets disgruntled when things don't go his way, while Stanford's friendly towards the other nominators.
  • Anti-Villain: His Arch-Enemy Miss Ball thought he'd be a threat to Panem like he was back in Granger, but he ended up caring for her friends and the other nominators in his new career as nominator. He becomes more heroic over the course of the RP, and it culminates in him giving Dark Stanford a "Reason You Suck" Speech when he tries offering to spare him if he starts working for him as a replacement for the alternate Eye-Sicle he murdered. However, Dark Stanford refuses to listen, and he forcibly transforms Eye-Sicle into an Altford for him to absorb with all the others.
  • Barefoot Cartoon Animal: He's an anthropomorphic polar bear who goes around wearing a suit and pants but not shoes.
  • Bears Are Bad News: Would have to be, given that he is reportedly a known trouble-maker in his home world. Even his Pokémon form is a menacing polar bear: Beartic.
  • Everyone Has Standards:
    • He may be a disgruntled polar bear who nominates his tributes mostly for his amusement, but he would never stoop as low as Timewrecker and destroy the Multiverse out of petty revenge. He also draws the line at killing innocent families in cold blood.
    • In 7th OT Anniversary (Season 278), he was furious at Kolin shooting a puppy with a crossbow For the Evulz, but Eye-Sicle tries not to show it to her because he's disguised as Miss Ball (while already being disguised as Komodo Moe).
  • Eye Beams: He has a laser sight replacing one eye, which was caused by the mutation from the meteor that struck Granger Zoo.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip:
    • With Miss Ball during June's cheer-up party for Stanford. He had to change to a tux because he didn't like wearing her superhero suit.
    • In the 7th OT Anniversary, he temporarily switched bodies with Davy Jones when lightning struck them, on top of Eye-Sicle already being disguised as Komodo Moe and Miss Ball. While Eye-Sicle's a big fan of the Monkees, he didn't like swapping bodies with one of its members.
  • Furry Reminder: Ichi gifted him some fresh fish for Christmas in Earth Prime 2022, and Eye-Sicle, a polar bear, admitted that it still smelled good.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: In S132, one of the tributes Eye-Sicle summoned was the Zeeky H. Bomb. After defeating its face-turned fellow tribute Fooby, the bomb then turned around and did what it does best right next to Eye-Sicle himself, rendering Eye-Sicle to have to be revived back at his lair.
  • Inconvenient Summons: His tribute chamber pulls tributes in at random, sometimes causing trouble when said tributes are busy with important jobs or hiding from danger. In Season 262, the automated system pulled in most of the citizens from the Mushroom Kingdom, including Tay, who was hiding from Dark Stanford in Belissima. Kay had to arrange with Rocket to bring in her cousin Whitney as a stand-in for Tay that season.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: In Reboot Season 204, Daria zapped him with a shrink ray after finding out that the serum that was supposed to make him unable to tell the difference between good and evil didn't work on him.
  • Ineffectual Death Threats: Eye-Sicle's threat to freeze Stanford's hometown over if he didn't work for him was just the first thing that came to his mind when he convinced him to become his assistant. Now that Eye-Sicle has become cordial with Stanford despite his supposed villainy, he can't bring himself to go through with the threat anymore.
  • Laughably Evil: His grumpy attitude is offset by the hilarious mishaps he or his tributes get into, to his frustration.
  • Morphic Resonance: He keeps his laser eye even as a Beartic.
  • Multilayer Façade: While hiding from Dark Stanford in Belissima, Eye-Sicle took a Mystery Mushroom to disguise himself as Komodo Moe, but when he had to participate in Miss Ball's body for the 7th OT Anniversary, he reluctantly took the transformation serum, disguising him in another layer.
  • Off with His Head!: Was beheaded by Routeferret in the 3rd Reboot Nominator Games (Season 150), who then used his neck as a toilet.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: He usually gets angry whenever his tributes die without making it to the Hall of Fame, but in Reboot Season 220, he just stands in Stunned Silence when Asgore gets murdered by his son Asriel in the Feast.
  • Other Me Annoys Me: He doesn't like the concept of having more than one version of himself existing in the Multiverse, unaware that there are several across the Multiverse, notably a Distaff Counterpart called Polar Vortex and a "Dark" version who's submissive to Stanford's Evil Counterpart. He got annoyed by his own clone named Bisicle, which he had Stanford summon to protect himself from tribute attacks.
  • Painful Transformation: Reluctantly took the serum to transform into Miss Ball in Reboot Season 204's Death Battle, not wanting to switch bodies with her again after the accident at June's cheer-up party for Stanford. He scowled in pain as his laser sight popped off and was replaced with a normal eye when he transformed.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: Eye-Sicle ended up not only placing second in the 4th Reboot Nominator Games, but was one of several tributes who qualified for the next Death Battle. However, he did this while stuck in Miss Ball's body after a "Freaky Friday" Flipnote , meaning he would be forced to have to transform into Miss Ball once again for both seasons. He takes the realization about as well as you'd expect.
  • Taken for Granite: During the battle against the Space Pirates Balban, he and his allies were captured in a glass capsule by Jahtar and were forced to inhale gas that would turn them into bronze statues. The other fighters rescued them by breaking the capsules, but were too late to save Eye-Sicle from becoming a statue. Luckily, Lemmy Koopa was called over after the battle to free him, but Eye-Sicle was frustrated to miss the rest of it.
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: He only became a villain because he felt obligated to when people feared him after he was struck by the meteor that gave him sapience.
  • Uplifted Animal: He was once an ordinary polar bear in Granger Zoo until the meteor struck him and granted him sapience.
  • Unusual Euphemism: When upset or angry, he often goes, "What the blazes is going on?!" This trait is shared with his Alternate Self from Rebassia, Ivan Sr.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: By nominating the Dialga and Palkia from June's Pokémon Mystery Dungeon World for Reboot Season 147, he unintentionally caused a timeline distortion that split that world's Phoebe into her evil self that enslaved another Whispering Pines into her bidding, and her redeemed self who's now a florist in the "main" Whispering Pines.
  • Villain Team-Up: Reluctantly teamed up with Dark Ichi in the 3rd Reboot Nominator Games, if only to maintain his reputation.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Is revealed to be afraid of heights in the 4th Reboot Nominator Games when Scipionnote  dragged him along for skydiving. Eye-Siclenote  was miffed and ripped a hole in Scipion's parachute bag before dropping him off.

    Stanford Stokes 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/stanford_hgs_v_c.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

A small bipedal arctic fox professor who Eye-Sicle forced to have work for him and create the devices they use at the lair. A rather soft-spoken fellow who ends up being at the epicenter of a sinister plot by an Evil Counterpart of his.

    Miss Ball 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miss_ball_v_avi.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

A super-powered seal from the town of Granger (where Eye-Sicle is also from). The same meteor that gave Eye-Sicle his abilities also gave her the ability to spawn beach balls with varying properties out of thin air.

    Jared Spivey 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jared_hgs_v_c.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

Miss Ball's long-time human companion since before she gained her powers. Level-headed and a tad bit neurotic, Jared would normally serve as Ball's mission control back in Granger.

  • Almighty Janitor: Jared, a grocery store clerk who is very handy with held weapons (like his upgraded grocery store scanner-laser gun).
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Often questions the absurdity of the Games despite living with a talking seal since childhood.
  • Brother–Sister Team: He adopted Miss Ball as his sister when he was seven and they have been inseparable ever since.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip:
    • He mentioned having had switched bodies with Miss Ball during one of their missions back home by a villain as part of their plan to De-power the latter. As Jared was jealous of Miss Ball's heroics at the time, he had the taste of what it was like to be in her shoes, but in the end, he realized that she was a better fit for the job.
    • During June's cheer-up party for Stanford, Wanda accidentally cast Soulstorm on Jared while trying to switch her body back with Cleo's, causing him to switch bodies with Conan.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: He and his team were were secretly shrunken down to 0.2 inches before being hidden in Lucian's fur in Freddy's haunted house.
  • Mission Control: Served as this for Miss Ball during missions back in Granger.
  • Only Sane Man: On top of being the only human, he is also probably the most normal and level-headed of Stanford's companions next to Cleo.
  • Pegasus: His Equestrian form is a blue pegasus with a laptop cutie mark.
  • Playful Otter: His Pokémon form is an Oshawott.
  • Successful Sibling Syndrome: Felt jealous of Miss Ball because she did most of the superhero work while he was just her human sidekick who could use his grocery scanner as a laser gun. It wasn't until he switched bodies with her in a past mission that he learned to appreciate what she does for the community.
  • The Team Normal: Unlike the other members of the squad, Jared lacks any physical superpowers or abilities, but he's still capable of holding his own with his grocery scanner gun.
  • Token Human: To date, Jared is the only human in a group that otherwise consists entirely of Funny Animals.
  • Transformation Trinket: After the invasion of the Database Library and Science Center during the Dark Stanford Arc, Melody gave him a pendant with Conan's face so he can shapeshift into him anytime.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Was transformed into a shapeshifting dragon by Melody when she turned into a dragon mage and cast a spell on him during their fight against the E.M.M.I.. He can only turn into living beings in this form.

    Cleo 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cleo_mystidon_chief_waapr_v_c.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

Cleo is a tall dragon with psychokinetic abilities from the island village of Scale Cove in the setting of We Are All Pirates' Revenge. She is the brains of the group and one of the more level-headed ones as well.

  • Broad Strokes: Cleo's role in HGS is entirely non-canon to her play-by-post thread of origin, though some events in the thread (such as her destiny as chief over Scale Cove) are alluded to at times.
  • The Comically Serious: While not a total stick-in-the-mud (she does wear a costume at Hazemaster's Halloween party), Cleo's demeanor is overall fairly stoic and she dryly reacts to most things that happen to her. Not so much when she gets distressed, like when she found herself in a funhouse room that simulated the ocean, causing her to lose control of her magic and switch bodies with Wanda.
  • Commonality Connection: She and Wanda bonded over being magical reptiles with their own family issues, and after their body-swapped adventure at the Dragon Realms, they grew closer ever since.
  • Damn You, Muscle Memory!: She's so used to her usual Psychic Powers that she often forgets she can't use them as a Dragonite.
  • Delightful Dragon: Don't let her stoicism and large dragon body fool you, for she's a close ally of Eye-Sicle and Stanford and is best friends with Wanda.
  • Face Your Fears: Cleo ultimately conquered her fear of the ocean by standing up to the Razorback Terror in Burenia, even if she traumatized by its murder of Marina long ago, and defeating it, even if it meant killing it after it refused to listen to her.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: When she's distressed or uses her Psychic Powers to the max, she activates an extremely powerful spell called "Soulstorm", which can lift souls out of everyone within range and transfer them to other bodies. Due to how dangerous it is because excessive use can kill the user and leave everyone swapped forever, she was warned against using it, but she got triggered when she and Wanda entered a room in the June clones' funhouse that simulated the ocean. She lost control of her magic and accidentally switched her and Wanda's souls around.
  • Furry Reminder: She once mentioned that she couldn't sweat even if she wanted to because she's a reptilian creature.
  • Hypnotic Eyes: She can hypnotize others into thinking they're something they're not by staring into their eyes.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: Since she was only able to change her size naturally in Wanda's body, she needs to eat a Mini Mushroom to squeeze through tight passageways. She calls herself "fun-size" in this form, an expression she got from Wanda, and her voice shrinks accordingly.
  • Literal-Minded: She has a hard time understanding slang and idioms and gets confused by them, sometimes taking them literally.
  • Mind over Matter: Cleo's species of dragon has very powerful psychokinetic abilities.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: On top of her psychic abilities, Cleo has soft, rubbery skin instead of hard scales, making her a bit of a Glass Cannon who must rely on her own abilities to keep adversaries from physically attacking her. Additionally, her Pokémon form is a Dragonite.
  • Our Hydras Are Different: As one of Blood Moon's victims during his last battle, Cleo got mutated to resemble a hydra version of herself to increase her psychic powers.
  • Parental Neglect: She and her sister's parents were detectives who focused more on their job than raising them, and Cleo was distraught when they prioritized a town meeting over attending her sister's graduation. When Ira's scheme to fool them into attending the graduation backfired, Cleo was forced to call her parents out for their neglect. They truly realized how hurt she and her sister were and hired employees for their detective agency so they can spend more time with their children.
  • Perpetual Frowner: Given her stoicism, she's rarely seen smiling, and when she does, it's only a small one.
  • Rubber Man: She's not as flexible as Melody, but her lack of bones allows her to squeeze herself in Stanford's van, although she's still uncomfortable inside because she's huge. She's not actually made of rubber, however.
  • Spock Speak: Cleo typically speaks in a very formal manner and does not use contractions. So used to speaking this way is she that when she swaps bodies with Wanda and she and Wanda are forced to pose as each other in front of the others, Cleo struggles to speak like Wanda more than Wanda struggles to speak like Cleo.
    "Yes-Yeah! WE'RE good. DoN'T worry about us! (Heaven help me, I cannot speak this way.)"
  • Thou Shalt Not Kill: She strongly prefers nonfatally defeating her enemies, and when confronted by the Razorback Terror again in Burenia, she refused to kill it because she believes that killing it will make her no different from it. However, the Terror refused to listen to her demand to leave her and her kingdom alone, so she had no choice but to kill it herself. The fact that she seemingly defied this in S269 when she killed Stick Figure!F. Scott Fitzgerald to "give others a chance" is acknowledged shortly afterward, with Cleo attributing this to the Arena forcing her to do so and having the knowledge that it didn't technically really happen, whereas her decision to put down the Terror for real was entirely her own to make by her own admission.
  • Voices Are Not Mental: When she switched bodies with Wanda, her deep, monotone voice didn't transfer to her new body, so Cleo sounded like Wanda while Wanda sounded like Cleo.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's afraid of the ocean and any sea monsters living in it because she saw her best friend Marina being eaten by a Razorback Terror in one of her expeditions.
    • She got traumatized again when she ended up in a funhouse room with the ocean in it, making her powers go haywire and swap her and Wanda's bodies around.
    • Despite her fears, she was still willing to join Ally's vacation to the Great Barrier Reef because she trusts her friends to help her overcome them.

    Wanda Banks 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wanda_waaat_v_avi.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

A magical T. Rex with a variety of abilities she inherited from her parents. She's a snarky, plucky, but still altogether good-natured and outgoing dinosaur who is still learning about what she is capable of.

    June 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/june_new_avi.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

A hyperactive Zoroark hailing from a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon-esque world, separate from the one Scipion, Aaron, and other Pokemon characters come from, loosely based on that of the original We Have All Become Pokémon thread.

  • All of the Other Reindeer: She was bullied in school for her interest in woodwork and sports.
  • Adaptational Badass: June fought very little in her thread of origin, considering herself more of an entertainer than a fighter. In HGS, however, she is a competent enough battler to be able to hold her own in a battle and even gives advice to the others about their Pokémon forms when they visit the PMD-verse. Her player felt that this was necessary so that June wouldn't come off as The Load in any potential fights.
  • Big, Thin, Short Trio: She's short while her sisters August and July are Fat and Skinny, respectively.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: She admitted to Aaron that she has trouble speaking up her mind sometimes, even to people whom she trusts with her life. Being her close boyfriend, Aaron promised to help her in that regard.
  • Childhood Friends: With Wednesday, whom she sometimes calls by his birth name "Oscar". They bonded over their mutual interests in hobbies outside what is expected of their respective genders.
  • Clones Are People, Too: Despite the chaos her clones caused during her Valentine's party, June doesn't want any of them zapped away because it's like killing them. Instead, she relocated the clones to their own funhouse outside the lair.
  • Cuddle Bug: June frequently shows a lot of affection for her loved ones whenever she's happy or if they need comfort by hugging them, rubbing their head, etc... Naturally, she and Aaron enjoy hugging and nuzzling each other a lot after they become a couple.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: She's a friendly Dark-type Pokémon in contrast to Scipion.
  • Embarrassing Nickname: She was once called "Looney Juney" back in elementary school.
  • Family Eye Resemblance: After snapping out her father Lyric from his brainwashing and reuniting with him, he pointed out that besides inheriting her late mother's species, she also inherited her eyes.
  • Family Theme Naming: She and her sisters are named June, July, and August while their late mother was named April.
  • Foil: June is not the first Zoroark to be a part of the circle of nominators and their associates, with Scipion coming before her, but both Zoroarks are quickly shown to be each other's polar opposites, with Scipion being an Ax-Crazy Villain Protagonist and June being a cheerful Genki Girl. This is highlighted not long after June's debut at the Halloween party, where Scipion gleefully mocks his traumatized rival Aaron after "Scattered Brain" pretended to eat Aaron alive during a Halloween trick while June is just as horrified as everyone else afterward and is infuriated when Scipion mocks Aaron.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Scipion during her cheer-up party for Stanford, and she was just as uncomfortable as him with the gender swap.
  • Fun Personified: June has more-or-less made it her mission in life to make people smile and have fun and rarely exhibits any negative emotions, even in a place like Panem.
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: Among her clones, she's the only one wearing a purple bobble in her mane while they wear blue ones. Her sisters July and Augustnote  also wear blue and green bobbles, respectively to tell each other apart.
  • Like Parent, Like Spouse: Her romantic relationship with Aaron, a Lucario, echoes that of her parents, April, a Zoroark, and Lyric, a Lucario.
  • Loon with a Heart of Gold: The most cheerful and eccentric among her sisters, yet cares for her loved ones, especially Aaron.
  • Me's a Crowd:
    • June has used her abilities as a Zoroark to create illusionary duplicates of herself, such as during her performance at Hazemaster's Halloween party. While she doesn't use them in battle often, she did so during the final battle at the Genetics Lab in SR388 to divert Knox's attention from Wednesday.
    • She used Stanford's cloning remote to create perfect duplicates of herself to help her prepare the lair for her Valentine's party, but Stanford reprimanded her for it because the stray clones made a mess. She profusely apologized for using his remote without permission, and with the help of the guests, she rounded up her clones and built a funhouse for them near the lair.
  • Now, Let Me Carry You: During the GBR arc, June got turned into a Swampert and Aaron into a Politoed. Being the stronger and faster Pokémon this time around, she had to constantly watch over him, frequently held him tight, and even saved him from the Humboldt Squid.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: June is such as cheerful Zoroark, even in the gloomiest situations, so things will have to be extremely bleak in order for her to break down.
    • If anything horrible happens to her friends Oscar and Lucian, she'll burst into tears, the worst which happened when they were kidnapped by one of Dark Stanford's mutated prisoners while they were still inside the magical pirate book.
    • When she finally encountered her father Lyric after she and Aaron prevented him from kidnapping Lucian and Oscar, June was shocked by the revelation.
  • Our Nudity Is Different: Since Pokémon don't need to wear clothes, she decides to go without them, only wearing the vest and hat that Power made for her at the park for special occasions.
  • Parental Abandonment: Her and her sisters' mother was killed by criminals for inadvertently witnessing their crime outside a neighbor's house. The triplets' father Lyric then abandoned their eggs out of grief, so they never saw their parents when they hatched.
  • Passionate Sports Girl: She used to be a sporty Zorua back in her childhood, but she was bullied in school for it.
  • Platonic Life-Partners: She's very close friends with Wednesday and can't bear to see him in danger.
  • The Pollyanna: June is able to (mostly) keep a stiff upper-lip despite being separated from her old friends and family (though in that case it helps that she's already aware that she can easily return to them whenever she wants) and witnessing such things as Giegue losing control and becoming Gigyas at the Neon Quarters. Though she can still be scared sometimes, being with Aaron helps her keep her positive demeanor too.
  • Precious Photo: After learning about the fate of her parents, she keeps a photo of them holding their eggs wherever she goes.
  • Psychic Link: Established one with Oscar by undergoing Persephone's ritual, which connected their souls and by extension, their minds.
  • Queer Colors: Like 6k1's purple blouse under her lab coat, June just so happened to be wearing a purple bobble when she eventually realized she's demisexual.
  • Raised by Grandparents: After their mother's death and father's abandonment, she and her sisters have been raised by their grandfather Darnell since they were babies.
  • Relationship Upgrade: While already good friends with Aaron, especially since Lucian and Oscar developed their bond, they eventually confess to having romantic feelings for each other by the time of the Painted Island Arc.
  • Same-Sex Triplets: June, July, and August are all-girl triplets.
  • Single-Target Sexuality: She has only ever been attracted to Aaron, and only after they became friends did they become lovers because she's demisexual.
  • Sweet Tooth: While she'll eat anything like her sister August, sweet foods are her favorite.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Since June (who is 5' 3" on average) is a Zoroark and her boyfriend Aaron is a Lucario (who is 3' 11" on average), she's significantly taller than him. He's still strong enough to carry her without too many problems.
  • Transparent Closet: Downplayed since among her friends and family, only her sisters and father already knew that she was "different" for not having a romantic partner until she befriended Aaron as an adult.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Besides using illusions, she can disguise herself by changing her form as a Changeling.

    Kenny 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kenny_western_v_c_b.png

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

A pronghorn vagabond from a Wild West setting. Before being drawn into Panem, Kenny would wander around his world looking for problems to solve. His easy-going, laid-back demeanor is contrasted heavily by his ability to run extremely fast.

  • Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Wears a ten-gallon hat and a cowboy belt. He gains a pair of goggles following Eye-Sicle's attempted vacation to the world of Rankin/Bass Christmas specials.
  • Actual Pacifist: He doesn't condone violence in any form, preferring to use his Super-Speed to get away from his enemies faster.
  • Almost Kiss: He nearly kissed Heidi after dancing to open the gate to the Alebrijes' Land of Dreams, but they fell down laughing.
  • Birds of a Feather: One-sided example: He bonded with Heidi over their Super-Speed during her mission to rescue her twin sister Holly, and Heidi developed a crush on him after he left New Durango. They then became a couple during Bale's Christmas party.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: His family farm was burned down by a horde of bandits, and their leader, Knox, hung him by the legs from a support beam on his house. Kenny's childhood fear of fire was triggered and he thought he would be unable to escape, but thankfully Joaquin defied the horde and rescued him, and they became friends ever since.
  • The Drifter: With no real place to call home, Kenny would typically wander from town to town in his homeworld, looking for anyone he could help.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip:
    • With Plessie during June's cheer-up party for Stanford, as a result of Wanda trying to undo her swap with Cleo in private. Since they didn't swap voices, Kenny was rendered unable to speak properly and needed Plessie to translate his speech for the others.
    • Kenny ended up switching bodies again in Season 265, this time with Wanda, after the Porcupuffer and Dragoneel, who were supposed to be Eye-Sicle's tributes that season, panicked when Kay explained the Games to them. They spilled water from their tank all over the Tribute Chamber, shorting out the summoning machine and causing Kenny and Wanda to be nominated for the season instead, but in each other's bodies. Thankfully, Phoebe made a potion for them that successfully switched their bodies back.
  • Identical Twin ID Tag: When he requested to be cloned for Reboot Season 185, his duplicate is missing the stripes on his neck.
  • Mellow Fellow: Seldom breaks from his chilled-out, laid-back demeanor. To date, the only times it has ever started to slip was during the fight at the Neon Quarters, whenever he gets too close to fire, when Joaquin went on a rampage in his Alebrije form and threw him out of the hospital during the thief chase, and when Velma deduced that Blood Moon had infiltrated Eye-Sicle's lair for two days without anyone noticing. At the last one, Kenny swore angrily, to the others' surprise.
  • The Runaway: He ran away from his father after their farm was burned down by Knox because they couldn't reconcile with each other regarding the attack. Kenny's father reprimanded him for not using his powers enough to save himself and the farm, but Kenny didn't see eye-to-eye with him.
  • Siblings Wanted: Upon seeing twins Heidi and Holly tease each other, Kenny wished that he had siblings of his own.
  • Super-Speed: Kenny's main ability, which he inherited from the Alebrijes. His top running speed is 125 mph.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Stanford reverse-engineered Quiet Robe's upgrade on Joaquin's bracer on Kenny's so he can have this power like Joaquin.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: He's pyrophobic, which stemmed from a traumatic childhood event when he was trapped in his family's burning farm until his neighbor rescued him. While he's presently trying to cope with it, he can't even go near a campfire, and he ran away when Hermey's dentistry was set on fire by Knox's horde of bandits during Eye-Sicle's vacation. This fear gets exacerbated when he's an Accelgor, a speedy Pokémon that's Weak to Fire.

    Joaquin 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joaquin_hgs_v_c.png
Click here  to see his alebrije form

First ASAS appearance: Post 3442

A gila monster friend of Kenny's who hails from the same world as him. Joaquin is cursed to become an alebrije at sunset every day. A generally upbeat fellow, Joaquin has since learned to live with it. Joaquin is a former member of a group of bandits from his homeworld known as the 'Brijes, who also become 'alebrijes at sundown.

  • Accidentally Real Fake Address: When Joaquin had to take Knox back to Dark Stanford's lair, Quiet Robe told him to disguise himself as a Mawkin soldier. Joaquin did so and went by "Crimson Sunset" for his alias, but worried that Blood Moon might not be fooled, but luckily, Quiet Robe knew another soldier named Crimson Sunset.
  • Affectionate Nickname: Despite all the abuse Knox did to him, he still genuinely cares about Joaquin and calls him "Sonny".
  • Brought Down to Normal: When not an alebrije, Joaquin tends to rely on claw slashes and biting his enemies like a typical gila monster would.
  • Childhood Friend Romance: He first met Veena when they were nine years old and they fell in love with each other growing up.
  • Cursed with Awesome: Joaquin has since come to terms with his curse and enjoys being able to fly and have Super-Strength in alebrije form.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: He was kidnapped from his parents, Martina and Guillermo, when he was a baby by Knox, the leader of a horde of bandits called the 'Brijes, and was raised by him for 19 years. Knox laid the Alebrije Touch on him and taught him to disrupt people's lives, but he defied them and rescued Kenny from them instead. Joaquin and Kenny became friends ever since, but the former still worries about his parents in the present, unaware that they were killed by Wild Wile, and Knox adopted Joaquin shortly after to make up for failing to stop Wile from killing his parents.
  • Fear of Thunder: He used to be afraid of thunderstorms when he was a kid, and Knox would comfort him by telling him that they happen when clouds are happy.
  • For Halloween, I Am Going as Myself: Joaquin's alebrije form makes him coming up with a costume idea for Hazemaster's party a non-issue, as he just shows up in his altered form.
  • "Freaky Friday" Flip: With Veena during June's cheer-up party for Stanford.
  • Heroes Fight Barehanded: He mainly uses his fists to punch and scratch his enemies.
  • Heroic BSoD: After being imprisoned with Twilight in the alebrijes's castle, the normally upbeat Joaquin breaks down, fearing he'll never see his family or his friends again.
  • Invisibility Cloak: He was given a Phantom Cloak by Fire Eyes, which makes him invisible but at the cost of sapping his life force the longer he uses it.
  • Malfunction Malady: He reverts to his normal form whenever he catches a cold.
  • My God, What Have I Done?:
    • Was shell-shocked when he had to kill a Corpius by possessing it to save Knox, as possessing a living being as an Alebrije kills it instantly while the 'Brijes (except for Knox) have a moral code not to kill others.
    • He was tricked into thinking that Knox killed his birth parents (when he saved them instead), so Joaquin set off to kill his foster father to avenge them. Joaquin then broke into tears when Marian showed him Colby's letter to him, which revealed the truth behind the death of his parents.
  • Offing the Offspring: Was murdered by his adoptive father Knox, who permanently transformed into a Full Alebrije, under the orders of Blood Moon. But before Blood Moon could destroy Joaquin's soul, Knox absorbed it, and Joaquin found himself inside Knox's mind, where the Alebrije souls that Knox ate are trapped. Thanks to Veena's pink venom, Joaquin was resurrected after the battle with Blood Moon.
  • Our Alebrijes Are Different: Joaquin turns into an alebrije at sunset due to the Alebrije Touch and is a normal gila monster by day. He can even transform into a Full Alebrije when he taps into his full power because he was the closest to the urn that contained Sticky when he opened it and unleashed the Touch from it.
  • Star-Crossed Lovers: Is Veena's long-lost boyfriend, and they can't be together because she's working for Dark Stanford. However, Joaquin promised to marry her after the mission at the Alebrijes' Land of Dreams, knowing that she'll come back after being atomized by Dark Stanford.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: He looks very much like his biological father.
  • A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: His Fatal Flaw, as he often acts first without thinking twice.
    • He snapped at the 'Brijes for stealing Asriel's ring and went on a rampage in his Alebrije form, throwing Kenny out of the hospital during the chase.
    • After being manipulated into believing that Knox killed his birth parents (when the coyote saved him instead), Joaquin flies into an Unstoppable Rage and swears to avenge them by killing his foster father. Worse, at the same time, Blood Moon is also forcing Knox to kill Joaquin. The gila monster then regretted his decision when Marian showed him Colby's letter to him, which revealed the truth behind the death of his parents.
  • Voices Are Not Mental: When he switched bodies with Veena, he sounded like her while she sounded like him, but Joaquin's thick Spanish accent went with him, so he had to hide it when Knox asked him what was going on.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Quiet Robe upgraded his bracer so that he can disguise himself as others, including covering his Alebrije form with his default self.
