Current Count: 44 Answerers

A Yoplait Billboard
From a point/counter-point column in The Onion. The Billboard only wants people to enjoy more Yoplait yogurt. An innocent, simple soul.

Abraham Lincoln
Sixteenth president of the United States. A little too dead to be used regularly, but he does show up occasionally.

Ajax
Either a total moron or a deeply profound thinker. You make the call. From the TV series Duckman.

Seifer Almasy
Squall's dramatic foil. Where Squall is quiet and introverted, Seifer is loud and cocky. While, yeah, he was a villian in the game, in accordance with SquareSoft plot laws, he was ten times cooler than the hero. And they redeemed him at the end, so hey, it all works out.

Black Mage
Arguably the most awesome character from the original Final Fantasy, a cousin of his stars in a semi-daily comic strip. Of course Black Mage is evil... What do you expect from someone in a robe, big hat, and beady eyes?

Lord Edmund Blackadder
Lord of somewhere near London, England. A bitter, sarcastic fellow. His family is on a quest to become the most hated family in all the British Isles. If we can get our hands on a scanner, there will be a better picture than this.

Buddy Jesus
Kevin Smith's symbol of the revised, ultra-modern Catholic Church from the movie Dogma. A savior with style.

Julius Caesar
The most well known of the Roman Caesars. Doesn't speak a word of English. Only the more polite answerers speak any Latin at all, but they're usually reluctant to translate.

Chop Chop Master Onion
Like Diablo II Barbarian, Chop Chop Master Onion has been borrowed from TMOL until it gets back on its feet. From Parappa the Rapper, Chop Chop grades your rapping skeels. Here, he grades your grammar and diction. He's toned down a bit since TMOL, however.

Miss Cleo
Miss Cleo be keepin' it re-al an' tellin' de cards like she see um. She's a second generation Psychic Friends Network, using that Tarot instead of innate psychic powers.

Darth Sidious
If you don't know where Darth Sidious is from, you obviously live in a cave and have no 'net access, so you can't be reading this. Like Black Mage, Darth Sidious is bent on world domination. He is also a fan of cruel torture, mass slayings, and Haagen-Das.

Diablo II Barbarian
A sword-swinging, undead bashing, beer guzzling, foul mouthed man's man. In more ways than one... Happens to be gay, but that's just an incidental. Ripped off from True Meaning of Life, will be returned when TMOL finally comes back.

Zell Dincht
A tattoo'd fist fighter from Final Fantasy VIII, Zell pounds the crap out of anything that stands in his way. Loves hot dogs. In deference to a friend of mine, he may or may not be attracted to Siefer.

Earthworm Jim
Formerly a lowly worm, now a worm in a supersuit with a shiny red gun. From Shiny's uniquely named masterpiece SEGA games: Earthworm Jim, and Earthworm Jim 2.

Eek! the Answerer
From the old FOX cartoon Eek! the Cat. A kind, benevolent, warm-hearted fuzzy purple cat.

Emmit
A re-occuring character from Freakazoid!, Emmit never spoke. Due to his stubby frame and ugly appearance, he has become the Nickatron mascot.

Erasmus and Fenrus
Not just a wizard, but the Arch-Mage Erasmus, and his faithful feline-fearing familiar, Fenrus. Cumulatively, they are to magic what... Well, what they are to comedy, actually. From Quest for Glory I, II, IV, and V.

EverQuest Addict
He used to be a song-writer for the Gin Blossoms. Until he became addicted to EverQuest... Now the poor guy spends 15 hours a day on-line, 6 hours sleeping, and 3 hours... We're not quite sure what he does with the last 3 hours, to tell the truth.

Famous Adventurer
One of several Quest for Glory faces, specifically from V. FA has seen and done it all, now he sits in the Silmarian chapter of the Famous Adventurer's Correspondence School for Heroes and writes it all down. Prone to bouts of depression when uninspired.

Fighter
Also from Final Fantasy. Also has a cousin in 8-Bit Theater. A bit smarter than his cousin, but that isn't saying much.

Freakazoid!
Nerdy Dexter Douglas was surfing the internet one day when he was zapped into cyberspace by a hardware glitch. It turned him into a blue-skinned superhero named Freakazoid! Freakazoid! can still be found on Cartoon Network, a parody of all those Batman/Superman style cartoons.

The Gin Blossoms
Without a doubt the greatest band in the world. Put out three CDs in the early 90s before calling it quits. Their former song writer allegedly committed suicide, but in reality he has become addicted to EverQuest.

Red Green
Leader of the Possum Lodge, he hosts the Red Green Show. Holds keen insight on the true nature of men.

Late Breaking News
From any TV station world wide. Serves to warn the viewing public before An Important Announcement is made. Really just a blue cue card held in front of a camera while a deep-voiced announcer reads off a sheet of paper.

Denis Leary
Comedian, writer, and actor. A cynical and jaded voice for the ages. Doesn't like most people.

Squall Leonhart
The hero from Final Fantasy VIII. Absolutely hates Rinoa and threatened to quit if she appeared on the Nickatron. That's fine because we all hate her too. Introverted and anti-social at first, he takes a while to warm up to people. Usually answers with a blow-off reply. Watch out for his Limit Break followed by Lion Heart. That thing buuuuurns...

Edgar Montrose
Edgar takes it for the gospel truth that all of lifes problems, no matter how big, small, wide, or thin, can all be solved with several well placed sticks of dynamite. Also from The Red Green Show.

Pinky and The Brain
A genius labmouse bent on world domination. Schemes include staging an adaptation of War of the Worlds over international television, to playing basketball, to building a paper mache replica of earth. The Brain is the brains of the outfit, while Pinky just gets in the way and Hilarity Ensues.

Power Ajax's Proxy
Power Ajax won our poll contest around the middle of November. Apparently he just grabbed Ajax's picture and dumped black paint on the outer edge. Still, it looks nice. Sort of.

The Princess' Proxy
The first user to gain an Icon. Got it by virtue of knowing the right people.

Ranger Gord
Ranger Gord is the fire warden of one of Canada's most beautiful forests. He's been in his tower for 16 years without a day off, and hasn't received a pay check for the past 15 years. Understandably lonely, but he knows all that there is to know about the forest.

Red Mage
Also from Final Fantasy. Can do a little of everything. He wears a feathered hat, so of course he's... Got another profession. So to speak.

Hap Shaughnessy
A character on The Red Green Show. No matter what you've seen, what you've done, where you've gone; Hap has seen it twice, done it better, and gone there repeatedly. Whether what he says is the truth or not is debateable.

Jay Sherman, Critic-At-Large
New York City's most under-rated critic. Looks a bit like a Simpson's character, but don't mention that, he's sensitive. His show has been bounced around like a pea on a drum. Despite his otherwise impeccible viewing taste, he has a thing for Jon Lovitz.

Smudge
Also a UTP regular. Smudge is a very bored nearly-twentysomething with a rudimentary knowledge of HTML. He is Nickatron's Seeker, Lester Knight Chaykin, or Ayn Rand. Looks a little like a chewed up bit of gum, I suppose. Shown here with no arms. See the hand crafted MS Paint icon? Tries to give actual advice, but usually can't quite do it right.

The Squishy Bears
From left to right, they're Puffy, Pierre, Cozy, and Wuz Wuz. Except for Pierre, they're more or less interchangeable. Pierre's distinction is being French and wearing a beanie. Cartoon bears on a children's show-within-a-show, The Squishy Bears' Magical Fun Minute, a subshow within Eek! the Cat

Thief
With an exceedingly scholarly knowledge of law and legal precedent, Thief has managed to get off the hook the few times he has been caught. Only a slight kleptomaniac. Guess where he's from by the artwork.

Quistis Trepe
The final character from Final Fantasy VIII. You know she had a thing for Squall the whole time, even if it's "explained" later and then thrown away. Certainly the hottest of the cast. And she uses a whip as her weapon... Ghee... Despite all this, she's a freakin' genius. Beauty, Brains, and a whip. She's got it all. Too bad she's a cartoon...

White Mage
An idealistic healer from the original Final Fantasy. Knows an amazing array of healing spells.
