[TheBlackThrone]

Looks good! Approved!

[Mathim]

I'm so glad I found a picture of him doing that pose, totally perfect for his role.

It was. I also think John C is perfect too.

[Mathim]

I hope his name is decent...I wanted something that sounded like 'Wreck' and 'Ralph' but not actually being either, so Rex Rolfe sounded like a good pseudonym.

I might be interested in at least giving this a try... How would you feel about more obscure characters like Kronk as a hero or King Louie as a villain?

I love Kronk one of my favorite sidekicks.

[Mathim]

He could be like this game's version of Marvel's Squirrel Girl.

He could be like this game's version of Marvel's Squirrel Girl.

That's literally what I was thinking. When he wants to be, however, Kronk is an absolute beast. According to his official measurements (66" long, 32" waist), he's got a chest circumference of five-and-a-half feet!

I could totally see Louie as some villainous jazz club owner or something like that. Two characters with a bunch of potential there.

I was planning on Louie being a slightly older, bulky Indian man that has his own organized crime ring. He covers his illegitimate pursuit of artifacts and power with donations to animal conservation and participation at a local jazz club. Of course, with his new form, he has some basic fire-manipulating abilities. Between the crime and the fire, I could see him taking some pointers from Hades. After all, Hades is the go-to guy for fire in this town.

Just write a CS.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure that the characters were clear before I spend the better part of half an hour typing the sheets.

I'll get something up tomorrow.

Face Claim: Patrick Warburton

Character Name: Kronker "Kronk" Pepikrankenitz
Franchsise: The Emperor's New Groove/Kronk's New Groove
Age: 28
Height: 6' 8"
Weight: 275 lbs.
Sexuality: Heterosexual (Straight)
Occupation: Chef, National Park Service Volunteer
Written Description: Kronk is a towering, top-heavy man with a strong chin and skinny legs. His teeth are obscenely white and he favors darker colors like blues and browns in his clothing choices. The signature apron he wears in the kitchen, however, is a soft pink. When not at work, he favors wearing open-faced wooden sandals. The effect of Kronk's rippling arms and muscular torso are offset somewhat by the lack of development in his lower muscles, which he jokes about as "skipping Leg Day". His default expression is a content smile, although his eyes widen to comic proportions when he is frightened.
Personality: Contrary to his muscular appearance, Kronk is a gentle soul that fears violence. He would rather make friends than enemies and tries to put his best foot forward in dealing with others. Kronk is a passionate cook and is happy to swap recipes with others. His bright demeanor and cooking skills are often credited by customers as the only reason that the Meat Hut stays open. Kronk is sensitive, sometimes overly so, and often presents his shoulder for others to cry on. He feels no great pressure to be a "man's man" and engages in jump-roping alongside his weight-lifting routines. Despite his meathead appearance, Kronk can be a rock of good sense and is passingly familiar with several different fields of knowledge. The man is surprisingly content with his lot in life, only wishing that he could earn the approval of his father, Papi. Outside of work hours and workouts, Kronk volunteers his time at the local park to educate children about bird-watching and wildlife conservation.
Character Story: Due to an illness, Kronk's mother died when he was young and his father was left alone to care for him. Papi was a tough guy, unaccustomed to being the soft one, so he was at a loss when it came to his Easy-Bake Oven, squirrel-chattering son. The only answer that he could think of was to put Kronk through extensive physical training. Although it failed to make Kronk tougher personality-wise, it did help instill in him a habit of physical conditioning.

After failing miserably as an errand boy, bodyguard, and even accidentally getting swept up in a pharmaceutical racket, Kronk finally found his calling when he visited the Meat Hut. The food smelled horrible and tasted almost as bad. When Kronk complained to the server, and she challenged him to do better, Kronk went right back into the kitchen and it was as if someone had flipped a switch. Delicious odors began wafting from the kitchen and Kronk was offered a job when the afternoon was over. True to form, Papi was disappointed rather than happy that Kronk had finally found a job that he liked, rather than one that paid well. Ever since that fateful day, Kronk has stayed in Disney City and serves up hot comfort to people from all walks of life.
Weapons: When he's in the kitchen, a cast iron skillet or a rolling pin. Other than that, Kronk would just rather avoid confrontation.
Super Powers:

• Zoolingualism: Kronk can talk to any animal that has a sound or language, including invertebrates like crickets and cicadas. However, he cannot communicate with any animal that does not make sound (like fish or spiders).
• Peak Human Strength: Kronk is as strong as a person can get on their own. He can lift up to eight hundred pounds over his head and bench press 1500 lbs. He can actually wrestle large animals like bears or lions into submission and dead-lift a man with one arm. For more details, please see the attached link.
• Peak Human Stamina: Due to constantly running around, Kronk can run for several kilometers without becoming winded. He can also engage in physically intensive activity for several hours before tiring.

Extra:

• Kronk is big enough that he can't go shopping at regular stores for clothes. He typically orders his clothing online.
• Kronk used to grow his hair down to his shoulders, but he got tired of wearing a hairnet while cooking and cut it short.
• Kronk is Jewish on his mother's side, but he is non-practicing. His father's side of the family goes all the way back to the Incan Empire in Peru.
• His father was a fitness trainer, which explains both Kronk's incredible physique and his father's distaste for Kronk's obsession with baking and comfort food.
• In a rare example, Kronk actually retains his mother's maiden name. This is because she died before she was officially married to Papi.

Kronk is approved. I apologize for taking so long. I'm normally quicker with these approvals. You can put him in the character thread (linked on the front page) and feel free to drop by the OOC, which is also linked in the OP.

[TheBlackThrone]

Still and always recruiting characters for this game! Come make stories!
