Vash the Stampede
Also known as the Humanoid Typhoon, Vash is credited with leaving a trail of destruction wherever he goes, which is why a $$60,000,000,000 reward has been placed on his head. However, though Vash may destroy many towns and cities, there is no record of him ever taking a life. Any bounty hunter whose tried to catch Vash either crawls away wounded(usually from self-inflicted damage) or in disbelief that such a wimp could possibly be the legendary gunman!
Even though Vash has a reputation for being insanely destructive, his personality is actually the opposite of that reputation. He shrinks from harming anything that lives, and he only fires off his gun to prevent injury to others. He believes that there’s always a way to save everyone, no matter how evil they may seem. There’s much more to Vash than meets the eye, but I’m not gonna explain all of it(there’s way too much to say...you can find out more by reading my Trigun “What’s it About?”). Just remember Vash’s favorite phrase: Love & Peace! ^_^V
Meryl Strife
Known as “Derringer Meryl”, Meryl works for the Bernadarii Insurance Co. She and Milly were assigned to follow the legendary gunman, Vash the Stampede, and send records about his destruction rate back to the company. At first, Meryl couldn’t believe that that donut-snarfing dork was actually the legendary gunman. But after she saw how Vash was able to escape from every bounty hunter attack he faced, and get through it without killing a soul, she was forced to conclude that he really was Vash the Stampede, though he wasn’t quite like how she pictured he would be.
Meryl is more like the leader of the two. She gives the orders and Milly follows whatever she says. She’s also the most serious of the pair...Milly likes to eat and have fun, but Meryl’s more into finding out more about Vash the Stampede. Meryl always criticizes Vash’s reckless way of living, but it’s obvious that she has a little crush on him! ~^^~
Milly Thompson
Known as “Stungun Milly”, Milly works for the Bernadarii Insurance Co. She and Meryl were assigned to follow the legendary gunman, Vash the Stampede, and send records about his destruction rate back to the company. Milly knew right away that the man who was supposedly Vash the Stampede, really was(though Meryl didn’t believe it yet).
Milly’s a bit ditzy and oblivious, but she doesn’t seem to have a mean bone in her body. She mainly just likes to eat and have fun. When she met Wolfwood, the two of them developed a cute, little relationship. ^_^
Nicholas D. Wolfwood
A traveling priest, Wolfwood’s church also doubles as an orphanage. Like Vash, Wolfwood will also try his best to save as many people as he can. However, he and Vash have conflicting ways of doing so. Wolfwood’s tactic seems to be “if the majority can be saved by the death of a lesser amount, then so be it”. But Vash believes that there’s a sure way to save everyone, and to reform even the most diabolical of individuals.
The large cross that Wolfwood always carries around with him contains hidden guns and pistols. Wolfwood and Vash have a sort of love-hate relationship(they’re pals but Wolfwood likes to pick on Vash sometimes ^^) He also began to gain a little relationship with Milly, but sadly it never went too far. Wolfwood was confronted with an arch nemesis from his childhood, and even though it was a hard battle between them, Wolfwood finally saw that there really was a way to save everyone(he didn’t kill the guy). But he was badly wounded after the fight, and he died while making a confession at a church. Poor Wolfwood! 8_8
Rem Saverem
Rem was part of “Project SEEDS”, a space exploration mission in which dormant people from Earth were taken to another planet to see if they could live and thrive there(Earth was getting too overcrowded). The space crew of SEEDS soon encountered two babies that seemed to be born inside a large geo plant. Rem convinced them not to kill the babies, and she decided to take care of them. She named them Vash and Knives, and they accompanied the SEEDS crew on their journey. Rem taught Vash all about the virtues of life; how no one has the right to take the life of another, and that there’s always a way to save everyone---that everyone’s ticket to the future is blank. Her kind, gentle, and sober personality caused Vash to love her as a mentor, and almost as a mother. However, Knives remained distant. He believed that humans were imperfect organisms, and he devised a plan to get rid of all the dormant people on the ship, as well as the crew. But in one last desperate attempt to save the people, Rem led Vash and Knives to safety while she tried to free as many of them as she could. She freed a lot of them and they landed on a desert planet, but the capsule she was in exploded.
Even after over a hundred years, Vash still thinks of Rem. He still follows her non-violent and non-killing ways of life, and sometimes he sings her favorite song, “Sound Life.”
Knives
Knives and his brother Vash were both born from a geo plant. They were taken in by a group of space explorers, and one of the explorers, Rem, acted as their caretaker. Rem treated Vash and Knives with kindness and gentleness, but Knives still remained a bit distant. The rest of the crew thought of Vash and Knives as “monsters”, and Knives was even abused by one of them. He also coudn’t understand Rem’s policy of “there’s a way to save everyone.” He used this metaphor: If you want to save the butterflies, you have to kill the spiders; if you want to save the spiders, you have to let them kill the butterflies for food.” He believed that trying to save both sides was a useless contradiction. His indifference towards the people he was with, caused him to hate all humans. He secretly began to kill off all of the crew members, until only Vash and Rem were left. But Rem managed to save a lot of the dormant people at the sacrifice of her own life. Vash, Knives, and the people landed on a desert planet. Knives told Vash of his plan to kill all of the people so that they could rule the planet. Vash didn’t agree, and the two of them had a big fight before they went their separate ways
Years later, Vash went to visit a man who may have had some connection to Rem. But when he arrived at the man’s office, Knives had already killed him. Knives then showed Vash the ultimate power that they had hidden in them...but Vash was unable to control the power and he ended up blowing up the city of July. Knives was furious that Vash had almost killed him with that power. So he sent Legato and the Gung-Ho Guns to make “Vash the Stampede suffer eternally.” It isn’t until the last episode of Trigun that Vash and Knives face off in the final confrontation!
Legato Bluesummers
Legato is one of Knives’ servants. Along with the Gung-Ho Guns, his main goal in life is to make Vash suffer eternally. Legato has the amazing ability to psychically control peoples’ bodies(even what they say), and he can telepathically talk to Vash through his mind. Legato seems to be devoid of any kind of compassion or human emotions...he killed thousands of people without batting an eye in order to lure Vash to him. In the final confrontation, Vash saw no way out but to kill Legato in order to save Meryl and Milly, as well as the townspeople that Legato was controlling. Even though Legato was the only person that Vash had ever killed, just the fact that he took a life, was enough to scar him for life(which was just what Legato wanted).
The Gung-Ho Guns
The Gung-Ho Guns consist of Gray the Ninelives, Dominique the Cyclops, Zazie the Beast, Leonaf the Puppetmaster, Hoppered the Gountlet, Rei-Dei the Blade, E.G Mine, Caine the Longshot, and Midvalley the Hornfreak. They work for Knives and Legato. Their main goal is to kill Vash the Stampede, and they think nothing of killing anyone else who gets in their way.
