Charlie (OC)

Character: Charlie



Biography
Charlie is just an ordinary nerd living in Free Country, USA with his roommate, Strong Bad. He came to Free Country by accident, and after a brief fallout with the residents, even breaking The Stick, soon became a good friend with most of them. He has a rivalry with Marzipan after he hurt Homestar, and the two are now sworn enemies. Charlie can have a split personality, after getting angry, making him destructive. This angry form is dubbed Mr. Hyde Charlie. His angry form is similar to his rival, AntiCharlie, when he was an actual villain. Charlie is one of Strong Bad's partners in crime, along with Strong Mad and The Cheat, and Charlie considers Strong Bad as a best friend. The two have had a couple of adventures since Charlie's arrival, including a return of The Virus, thanks to AntiCharlie. This was when Charlie was introduced to Phantom, who managed to defeat AntiCharlie. However, the two seem to have become enemies, after she beat up Strong Bad once. Charlie is actually Scottish, but his accent doesn't reflect that, and he only occasionally uses Scottish words. Charlie is friends with Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, Bubs, and Coach Z, and enemies with Homestar, Marzipan, Homsar, Strong Sad and Phantom. As for the others, he hasn't met them, yet. Just like how Strong Bad has The Cheat, Charlie has two dog companions, named Lollipop and Jack. Charlie has even attempted his own email show, which he calls 'charliemails'. How clever.

Character Video Transcript
{Charlie is in front of Strong Bad's Lappier.}

STRONG BAD: Alright, the camera's on.

CHARLIE: Oh Primus...ok, deep breath...

{Charlie takes a deep breath.}

CHARLIE: Hey there, viewers, it's Charlie back again! And today, I'm going to tell you a bit about myself.

{Charlie straightens his glasses.}

CHARLIE: Well, I came to Free Country by mistake, but boy, am I glad I came here. This place is amazing! I have befriended most of Free Country's residents, including my roommate, Strong Bad. Along with The Cheat, I'm Strong Bad's partner in crime, and we do a lot of stuff together. I enjoy gaming, just like Strong Bad, and I love hanging out with Strong Bad's friends, such as Bubs and Coach Z. However, I do have a few downsides. When angered, I become a violent, destructive monster, which I can't control. I'm also enemies with Marzipan, ever since I accidentally hurt Homestar, she's seen me as an enemy, and honestly, I find her to be annoying. I also have a rival named AntiCharlie, who wants to be better than me, but that'll never happen.

{AntiCharlie appears.}

ANTICHARLIE: Oh, really?

STRONG BAD: Aw, crap...

{The video ends.}

Fun Facts

 * Charlie is based on Scratch User TheCharlieGamer. Charlie's insignia is actually TCG's profile picture.
 * Charlie wears a green hoodie with his insignia on the front, which just so happens to be a red Decepticon insignia, referencing how TheCharlieGamer is a Transformers fan. This red Decepticon insignia is taken from the Shattered Glass series.
 * His catchphrase is "Oh, Primus...". This is a reference to the phrase "oh, God...", and the Transformers character Primus, the God of the Transformers.
 * Charlie's appearance (brown short hair, green hoodie) and personality when in a good mood (caring for friends, mischievous) is sort of similar to Edd, from Eddsworld, another internet cartoon series. Along with the serious minded Lollipop, who is similar to Tom, and the dimwitted Jack, who is similar to Matt, the trio are a loose homage to the main characters from Eddsworld. This is referenced even further with AntiCharlie, whose status as Charlie's rival and wanting to be better than him references Edd's rival Eduardo.
