BTGN Staff
 |
Sledge |
| Sledgehammer70 | |
| Supreme Balrog of BTGN | |
| Lord and Master of BTGN, Sledge rules over his domain with his fiery fist of greatness. A technophile, he must always have the latest in gaming PCs at his disposal (not to mention whatever other gadgets he may covet). Known, ironically enough, for his propensity to fire staff members on a whim for kicks. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
GT |
| General Tekno - aka Mew | |
| Staff Stripper | |
| Like his anthropomorphic feline personification, GT likes taking it easy and doing what he feels like doing. Amazingly, despite that he manages to keep the comic going. Has an amazing case of tunnel vision - is capable of obsessing over one particular thing at inhuman levels. Considers himself an average gamer at best. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
Brian |
| General Brian “Royal” Payne | |
| BTGN General | |
| General Brian embodies the most arrogant and hardcase aspects of the “elite” gamer - specifically, looking down on anyone who isn’t in his inner circle (especially HBO) and calling virtually everyone a noob regardless of actual skill level. Though his boasting skills are without question, his actual skill level remains to be seen. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
Mendes |
| Protoss Zealot | |
| Resident Starcraft Fanatic | |
| Wherever there is an RTS site, there is always the quintessential Starcraft fan who will sing the game’s praises at every term. A “Zealot” in more than one way, Mendes is fanatical about his game of choice, always putting it on a pedestal above all others. Ironically enough, this also means that any one deviation in Starcraft II from the original game is naturally an unnecessary change which will ruin the perfect sequel to the perfect game, no matter how minor. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
Tornado |
| Level 10 Jedi Knight | |
| Rare MMO Items Dealer | |
| “And there shall come a day when a gale of change shall sweep across the land and reshape the realms forever.”
-Tome of Prophecy, Unknown MMO A wannabe Jedi in an unnamed fantasy MMO who, through an undocumented exploit, has found out how to “do” female NPCs. |

 |
Kungfuyu |
| “The Pink Ninja” | |
| BTGN infiltrator/newsposter | |
| Every successful team needs a ninja. It’s just that, in most cases, you don’t know they have a ninja because he’s that good. Kungfuyu is the quintessential stock ninja - always available whenever a katana is required. Known to go to extreme lengths, including use of incendiary devices, to create news stories to post. Is mute, the reason being unknown - however, evidence suggests this may be because mute ninjas are badass. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
Recurring Characters
 |
Nya |
| Cyborg Siamese | |
| BTGN Staff Medic | |
| Though based of a similar genetic template to GT, Nya is quite unlike her counterpart - aside from the species of cat. Has a disdain for her fellow staff members - especially getting frustrated at GT’s regular obsessions or Mendes’ Starcraft tunnel vision. Very apathetic about the well-being of the staff and what they are up to. Has a strange inexplicable(though she would never admit it) interest in cosplay. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
EA Apoc |
| Aaron Kaufman | |
| EALA Community Manager | |
| The ever-diligent and busy Community Manager at EALA, Apoc is the community liason with the BFME and CnC franchises. Spent time as a hostage of Nod, during which he was replaced by a suspiciously similar spectacleless Community Manager named Predator. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
NPC |
| Annaria Peicie | |
| Level ??? Hammerspace Mage | |
| A special NPC, she was created to attempt to manipulate Tornado to a controllable extent as part of a massive “Xanatos Gambit” by the powers that be in the MMO world, as a result of his “exploits” involving other female NPCs. Programmed with a complete obsession and infatuation with Tornado that may run deeper than her code. Like all obsessive fictional females, is capable of accessing and channeling the mysterious dimension of “Hammerspace”. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
Cashier |
| Samus Aran | |
| Full-Time Employee, FredCo Mart | |
| Though at one time a successful bounty hunter, life has not been kind for the daytime cashier at the nearby FredCo Mart. Like Nya, is fairly apathetic about her job - however, she doesn’t have the mouth. Rooms with another former ‘coworker’ who has been mooching off her for two decades. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
Thrall Master |
| Angmar Thrall Master | |
| Fell Servant of the Witch-King of Angmar | |
| During the great Angmar/Arnor wars of the Third Age, the Witch-King pressed the hillmen of the North into his service with the aid of the Thrall Masters, who were capable of summoning unto themselves an army on the fly. Sadly, in the real world, recruiting is not nearly so easy for these unfortunate soldiers. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
 |
HBO |
| HeartbreakOne | |
| Resident noob | |
| The resident noob of BTGN, HBO is one of those people who’s always trying to be cool, but comes across as nothing but noobish. Constantly derided by Brian. | |
| First Appearance: January 1, 2007 | |
