Guess the VG Character

Go To

This is a thread on guessing video game characters.

  • They can come from any video game.
  • If a media source is played in one round, it is allowed to be played in the next round.
The current descriptor must post a recap of the progress for every new page, and edit that post accordingly with the progress in the page.
  • A player may declare a stump after 24 hours has passed from the last question and its answer. If this happens, the current descriptor reveals their character and posts their image, and the next round goes to the stumped player.
  • If a question needs to be replaced because it has already been answered, please do not erase the question. Just add the new question below it. In fact, the act of completely erasing a question is frowned upon.
  • If you're adding a clue, please keep it related on video games, as detailed below.
  • Recaps must be posted on every page in a timely manner.
  • The info in those recaps must not be ignored. This rule and the one above it are added to prevent confusion.
  • If there is no new round within 48 hours, anyone except the previous host may start a new round.
  • What counts as playable characters?:

If there's any questions or further suggestions, let me know!

Round 290: Herbert P. Bear, Esquire (Club Penguin)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/herbertpbear_esquire.PNG He probably added the "Esquire" himself

An exemplary example of the Heat-Seeking Polar Animal trope; Herbert's always hated the cold, and one day set out for warmer climates by riding south on an ice floe. Things were warmer than back up north for a while... until he passed the equator, kept drifting, and wound up on the even chillier island of Club Penguin. Whoops.

From that point on, the grouchy bear made it his life's goal to warm up Club Penguin by any means necessary, taking drastic measures to try and melt all that nasty ice and snow away. Sure, his methods are usually as goofy as his motive, but he's gotten close more than a few times. Whether he realizes it or not, if Herbert ever got his wish, it'd be bad for the entire world... and it'd destroy Club Penguin as well, obviously.

Yay!

Round 291!

Your initial clue is: "I'm a Master of Illusion, but, like, a good one."

I sadly doubt he would like Popeyes, though...
