Charlie (OC)

Character: Charlie



Biography
Charlie, created by TheCharlieGamer, is a normally happy yet easy to trigger teenager who currently resides in Free Country, USA with his sister, Phantom. 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 frenemies, with the two sometimes being annoyed by each other, or working together, depending on the situation. Charlie can have a split personality, after getting angry, making him either destructive, or straight up demonic, depending on how angry he gets. Charlie also has a rival; AntiCharlie, who wants to try and prove that he's better than Charlie. Charlie was once one of Strong Bad's partners in crime, along with Strong Mad and The Cheat, and Charlie considered Strong Bad as a best friend, but the two have fallen out. The two 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, for a while, became 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 most of the residents of Free Country, but has become enemies with Strong Bad, who, angered that Charlie betrayed him, now wants to kick him out of Free Country. Just like how Strong Bad has The Cheat, Charlie has three dog companions, named Lollipop, Dudley and Jack. Charlie has even attempted his own email show, which he calls 'charliemails'. How clever. Charlie also enjoys drinking Coca-Cola, and can often chug it down to help calm himself down if angered. Charlie also seems to have the power of randomly finding and opening portals to different dimensions or time zones thanks to random boxes he accidentally trips on, unleashing characters from said dimensions/time zones. Said portals include a mirror version of Free Country, 20X6, and Old-Timey. While Strong Bad was originally Charlie's best friend and partner, Charlie soon got fed up of Strong Bad's antics, and eventually just couldn't take it anymore, eventually moving out of the House of the Brothers Strong. Despite at first being enemies, Charlie and Phantom are actually siblings, and ever since learning this fact, the two have set aside their differences, and are now best friends, with Phantom replacing Strong Bad as Charlie's partner. When not angry, Charlie also has good brawler skills. As evidenced by the insignia on his hoodie, Charlie is a Transformers fan, and likes to collect the action figures, normally from Bubs' Stand. Charlie also sometimes has dreams about him being a Decepticon named Acid Storm. Charlie also has a feminine alter ego for when he wants to disguise himself, under the name Kira. However, this secret soon got out to the residents to Free Country, and out of embarrassment, Charlie had enough.

Domicile: Phantom's House, Bubs' Concession Stand (sometimes)

Debut: Introducing Charlie (Roleplay)

Charlie's Anger and Breaking Point
As said earlier, Charlie is very easy to trigger, and depending on his anger, can either become Mr. Hyde Charlie, who is violent and destructive, if he's only mildly angered, or Sephiroth Charlie, who, just like Phantom's demon form, can float, has a demonic voice, and has red eyes, but with the addition of sharp teeth, to show his anger, if he is straight up blinded with rage. Charlie's also able to flash his eyes red for a brief second, to try to threaten and scare those who are starting to annoy him. This makes Charlie one of the most dangerous residents of Free Country, since unlike Phantom, he's way easier to anger. Eventually, after everyone found out about Charlie's secret identity, Kira, Charlie just snapped. While he didn't turn demonic, he did still turn really dangerous. Thanks to a virus caused by some expired Cola, most of the residents of Free Country, including Phantom herself, were zombified, with either green or grey skin, Charlie's glasses, armband sporting Charlie's insignia on it, and spouting out Charlie's catchphrases, in his voice. After finding out about this, Charlie found out that this was the perfect opportunity for revenge, and took command of them, having gone power-mad, wanting to usurp Free Country so he can do what he wants, and finally be free of all that angers him. Soon, AntiCharlie found out that Debra was one of the ones infected, and seeking revenge, made an army of his own, and managed to stop Charlie, with the help of Lollipop and a bit of Dasani water. (Since Dasani is a Coca Cola product) However, AntiCharlie was a bit violent towards Charlie afterwards, and managed to punch him so hard, Charlie lost his memory, thinking he was Kira.

Kira
Kira is Charlie's female alter ego. Originally created as a disguise for when Charlie was wanting to be sneaky, a recent head injury thanks to AntiCharlie had caused Charlie to currently lose most of memories, making him think he was Kira.

Character Video Transcript
''{Charlie is in front some shelves. On said shelves are a bunch of Transformers figures. Most of which are actual figures, but some are from the Cheap as Free toyline.}''

CHARLIE: Hey there, viewers! It's Charlie back again! And today, I shall tell you about myself.

{Charlie adjusts his glasses}

CHARLIE: Well, after coming to Free Country by accident a while ago, I've adjusted pretty well! I've discovered Phantom is my own sister, I've discovered I have powers similar to her, and I've discovered that Strong Bad...isn't as cool as I first thought. When we first meant, he was my idol, but now, he's become a lot more annoying, or at least to me...so much in fact that I've decided to move to Phantom's house, along with my dogs Lollipop and Jack. Well, I'm thirsty, I'm gonna get a Coke.

''{He leaves. The video ends.}''

Fun Facts

 * Charlie is based on Scratch User TheCharlieGamer.
 * As stated above, Charlie is siblings with Phantom, a character created by PhantomPhoenix27. This idea came from a roleplay the two were doing on Scratch, where Charlie assumed a demon form out of nowhere just as a funny joke, but the two soon liked the idea of their OCs being siblings, and so it became canon with their characters.
 * 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. Charlie's also been suggested to have a green hoodie with a standard Autobot insignia on it, as well.
 * He has a few catchphrases. One of which is "Oh, Primus..." when he's nervous. This is a reference to the phrase "oh, God...", and the Transformers character Primus, the God of the Transformers. Another is "QAPLA!!!", when he's fighting. A Klingon quote, which is also a reference to South Park's version of Mel Gibson, who occasionally shouted this quote out in the episode he appeared in.
 * Charlie's appearance (brown short hair, green hoodie) and personality when in a good mood (caring for friends, mischievous, love of Coca-Cola) 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 easily excited Dudley, similar to Matt, the trio are a loose homage to the main characters from Eddsworld, along with Jack, who is meant to be a cute little pet character, similar to Edd's cat Ringo, albeit being a puppy instead of being a cat. 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, and AntiCharlie's companion Digby, who references Jon.
 * Charlie's destructive angry form is dubbed Mr. Hyde Charlie because just like Jekyll and Hyde, Charlie can be either a kind or violent person, depending on his mood. His demonic angry form is dubbed Sephiroth Charlie since TheCharlieGamer thinks that One-Winged Angel from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children would be a perfect theme for Charlie's demonic form.
 * Acid Storm, Charlie's fantasy Decepticon alter ego, is both a reference to the original Acid Storm, and a version of Acid Storm from Transformers: Requiem, a fan made Transformers series created by TheCharlieGamer. Requiem Acid Storm was also a human named Charlie, but that Charlie was a different character, unrelated to this one.
 * Kira, Charlie's feminine disguise, gets her name from what TheCharlieGamer was going to be called, had be been born a female. Kira was created as a joke, but TCG has plans of making Kira a split personality of Charlie, meaning that Charlie has Multiple Personality disorder, with Mr. Hyde Charlie, Sephiroth Charlie, and Kira.
 * So far, Charlie doesn't have a voice actor due to only currently appearing in text, with the above image being drawn by PhantomPhoenix27, but if he ever did actually get a voice, TheCharlieGamer would obviously be his voice actor. As Kira, Charlie would be voiced by PhantomPhoenix27, using a deeper voice to sound like a feminine version of Charlie.
 * Even though Charlie and Strong Bad have become enemies, Strong Bad is actually one of TheCharlieGamer's favourite characters.
 * TheCharlieGamer suggested Charlie as Fanstuff of the Month for April 2021 since April is TCG's birthday month.
