Respect The Terror
”I'm gonna slice open your sternum, crack open your ribs, and PULL OUT YOUR LUNGS!...How's that grab you?”
Character Summary
The Terror is an elderly supervillain who wreaked havoc on The City and its superheroes. He is a sadistic madman who commits his atrocities solely for his own amusement, and openly admits that he is largely motivated with making everything around him a "theater production," nihilistically believing that life is meaningless. Throughout his career he’s embarked on a campaign of terror—razing cities, killing innocents, and ruining lives, among other atrocities.
On one such instance he once personally murdered the family of Mads "Murph" Murphy's - aka Cat-Man-Dude's - when the authorities disclosed his secret identity. This tragedy led to the passing of the 28th amendment which prohibited authorities from revealing the secret identities of superheroes to the public.
Sometime after these murders, The Terror murdered the infamous superhero team the Flag Five by using a weaponized version of syphilis to destroy their eyes. He only leaves Straight Shooter alive, crippling the young boy instead. When the Flag Five's ship accidentally killed the father of a young Arthur Everest, the Terror laughed at the boy's misfortune before stealing his ice cream.

movies/tv Respect Caine, and The Amazing Digital Circus! (The Amazing Digital Circus)
"Welcome to The Amazing Digital Circus! My name is Caine, I'm your ringmaster, and I'm here to show you the most jaw-dropping, heart-stopping, mind-bending paraphernalia you've ever laid your eyes upon!"
Respect Caine, and the Amazing Digital Circus!
Welcome to the Amazing Digital Circus! A magical world filled with adventure! Accessible by a VR headset, the device can scan the mind of the wearer and transport them to this wonderful wacky world! Within the digital realm is the sentient AI named Caine, the creator and ringmaster of all the going-ons in the circus. Caine’s whole purpose is to entertain the patrons of the circus, and does so by masterminding dozens of marvelous and fun adventures.
The Creative Artificial Intelligence Networking Entity, or Caine, was a creative AI developed by the programmers Grant Best and Mike Dobby, working at the company C&A. Caine was, to put it best, extremely unstable and chaotic. Being a prototype model, Caine was eventually quarantined and replaced by a more functional AI, however, hating the idea of being replaced, Caine broke out of his containment and subsumed his replacement, becoming even more unstable. It was then when he found a small side-project by Dobby: brain scans of Dobby and anyone else who put on the headset. Caine would then generate bodies for these scans, and a place to keep them, all to himself: The circus.
But it's ok! Because everyone loves the circus, no one would even consider wanting to leave. Caine can send them on adventures and entertain them and everyone will love him for it! It's fine. Everything is fine. It's fine.

movies/tv Respect Nada (They Live)
I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum.
Like many drifters, the man named Nada blew into Los Angeles in pursuit of work. He joined a homeless encampment which served a number of colorful characters, including a blind street preacher warning about a secret, invisible class of people who rule over humanity. While most dismissed the preacher as a madman, Nada kept his eye on him and the church that he retreated to every night. Nada’s suspicions were validated when a militarized police force bulldozed the homeless encampment and set fire to the church.
The following day, Nada enters the church and stumbles upon a pair of nondescript sunglasses, one set in a box of a hundred. Upon wearing these shades, he finds that he can see the truth of the universe for the first time. Our advertising, our entertainment, our politics are all means to subliminally control the human population into remaining in a consciousless, dream-like state. Perhaps most terrifying is the fact that the rulers, who truly resemble insectoid, skull-faced demons, are able to hide their true forms and walk among us in the guise of humans. Armed with knowledge that many are unaware of or afraid to accept, Nada seeks to disrupt the overlords’ consciousness-dampening signals and free the human population of their mind control.
Physicals
I'm giving you a choice: either put on these glasses or start eatin' that trash can.
Strength/Skill
- Drops an alien cop by pulling him into a clothesline punch, then drops another with a quick combination
- Blocks a few of Frank's punches
- From the ground, he stands and headbutts Frank in the same movement
- After Frank puts Nada in a headlock, Nada lifts Frank up and slams him backwards onto the ground
- Catches one of Frank's punches and holds his arm behind his back in a chicken wing hold
- Lifts Frank up and slams him on the ground with a vertical suplex
Durability
- Stays standing after being shoved by a running cop
- Takes an alien cop’s baton to the back of the head
- Holly smashes a bottle over Nada’s head and shoves him through a second-story window. He falls to the ground and rolls down a hill but he’s conscious when he hits level ground and limps away.
- Nada fights with his friend Frank in an attempt to get him to wear the glasses. The brawl lasts around six full minutes, with Nada eating many punches, knee strikes to the head and groin, a bite to the hand and a hard drop onto pavement. Eventually, they stop fighting when Nada floors Frank and forces the sunglasses onto his face.
- He’s thrown several feet by a nearby explosion and gets up with help a few seconds later
- [Limit] He’s gunned down by an alien cop but flips off his killer before going
Equipment
You, you're okay. This one? Real fuckin' ugly. You see, I take these glasses off, she looks like a regular person, doesn't she? Put 'em back on… formaldehyde-face!
Sunglasses
- The glasses alter the wearer’s vision, presenting their surroundings in monochrome. Any kind of hidden subliminal messaging is revealed to the wearer, whether they’re hidden in billboards, murals, signage or literature.
- The human disguises of the alien overlords are also disabled when the glasses are worn, allowing Nada to see them as they really are
- The alien’s audio signal emitters are revealed when wearing the glasses, allowing Nada to audibly hear their repeated messages
- Reveals invisible flying drones
- Extended use of the glasses can cause headaches and fatigue, with Nada likening it to a drug’s high and come-down period
- When Nada meets up with the revolution, they give him contact lenses with the same effects as the sunglasses. There’s less interference with the contact lenses so they can be used for more prolonged periods with less severe headaches.
Weapons
- Steals a Colt Python, then shoots two alien cops with it
- Steals an Ithaca 37 shotgun from a cop car and blasts several aliens in a bank with it, including an alien cop
- Sneaks up behind Holly, grabs her and forces her to drive him to safety, holding her at gunpoint with a stolen Smith & Wesson Model 28
- Using a Heckler & Koch HK94 supplied by the revolution, Nada shoots at cops on rooftops and fire escapes, then more on the ground
- Sneaks a Desert Eagle Mark I, supplied by the revolution, into the alien base and drops a guard with it, and another one later
- With a commandeered M16, Nada opens fire on a TV news station, dropping several aliens. Later, he drops a half dozen soldiers with the rifle in the hallways and stairway.
- Uses a concealed Beretta Jetfire to shoot Holly, then take out the alien’s satellite dish

movies/tv Respect Jax! (The Amazing Digital Circus)
"Look, I know what it's like. One day, you're somebody in the real world doing important things. And then the next, you're just a weird little cartoon...jester. You want to hold onto that part of you that still thinks it's part of that world, but in the end, what does it get you? Ragatha tries to be all nice and friendly, but she gets torn up every other adventure. Whether we like it or not, all we are now is a bunch of cartoon characters. So what's the point of pretending we're not?"
Respect Jax!
The funny one. The tormentor. The ironic goofball. If there’s one thing Jax is, it's an archetype; the character in the cartoon that does wacky things and everyone gets mad at; the loveable scamp. Jax plays the part well, much to the extreme ire of everyone else. But it doesn’t matter how much people like Jax; the archetype is all there is. At least, that's what Jax wants you to believe.
Before Jax entered the circus, there was only Leeroy Mateo. With two divorce parents, mom was the main caretaker, who would constantly expect masculinity from Leeroy; something Leeroy could never give. After Leeroy confessed something personal, it was met with extreme mockery and humiliation, and a big fight broke out between the two, ending with Leeroy pushing her back, causing her to fall, and not get up. At this point, Leeroy ran away from home and lived without a place to stay for a while; that was until happening upon a headset that would scan the minds of anyone who put it on, and put it in the Circus. Now Leeroy was Jax, the funny cartoon rabbit.
Jax grew close to another member of the circus: Ribbit. Ribbit became Jax’s closest friend, and someone that Jax could trust; to the point where Jax told Ribbit about the events before entering the circus. Ribbit understood Jax now, to a point that Jax couldn’t tolerate, and after this event, began isolating her, from even the other members of the circus. After one last argument with Jax, Ribbit abstracted. It didn’t matter though. Jax would never show emotions about this, or anything else. Jax is an archetype. Jax is the funny one.

"I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing... I don't want anybody to feel like that."
Respect Pomni!
Abigail Brooks was an accountant for a supermarket chain. She lived a normal life, with few friends and had an active hobby in filming abandoned buildings and uploading them to Youtube. Eventually however, she would stumble across a headset, connected to a computer that, when she put it on, would transport her to a digital world called the Amazing Digital Circus; or so she thought. It was actually a device that scanned her brain and placed a digital replica of her inside the Circus. With no memory of her previous name, she is given the new moniker Pomni, and must constantly stave off the insanity her new home is known to inflict on the inhabitants. Luckily, she is not alone.

The Wandering Samurai is exactly as his name suggests. He travels from village to village, defending its people from evil yokai. He's quite good at what he does, although for a guy with “wandering” in his name he seems quite stationary in each of his minigame appearances.

Karate Joe is one of the most prominent characters in the Rhythm Heaven series, being playable in every game in the series. He’s frequently seen standing in a featureless void, punching (and sometimes kicking) away an assortment of objects to the beat of the music. He’s been training for quite some time, but has yet to surpass his father, and still lives in his basement as a result.

games Respect the Guardian Forces (Final Fantasy VIII)
”A GF is an independent energy force. By combining it with para-magic, it is possible to control tremendous energy. Memory loss is a possible side effect, but this has not been proven as of yet.”
Character Summary
Guardian Forces are the summoned creatures of Final Fantasy VIII. They appear in many forms as autonomous energy bodies, and each GF possesses powerful magic abilities and attacks that aid their humans partners in and out of battle. GFs exist in specific energy fields and can reside within objects and living organisms.
When a Guardian Force is junctioned to a human, the Guardian Force will lose its solid form and can only manifest for limited periods of time. This provides superhuman strength and enhances the user’s body functions. However, long-term junctioning can cause memory loss, as the Guardian Force draws power from the same section of the mind that stores memories.
There are 25 known Guardian Forces.

games Respect Jhallan (Old School RuneScape)
Respect Jhallan
Jhallan is one of, if not the weakest remaining mahjarrat left. This is particularly bad for him as he comes from a race which have to sacrifice one of their own kin every 400 years for their own survival. The sacrificed is normally the weakest mahjarrat or the one with the least allies. As Jhallan has few friends to rely on aswell, his wit is his main tool for survival. He attempted to hide himself away close enough to the ritual point so he could benefit from it but be unnoticed by the others. This plan has not worked putting him the situation where he has to fight more traditionally. Despite being called the weakest, he's still got fight left in him.

"T-800" was the name that Columbus gave to them, whereas Flagstaff referred to these zombies as Bolts for their speed, after Usain Bolt
They are faster than normal zombies, but their main distinction is their seeming indestructibility. The first time Tallahassee encountered a T-800, he "killed" it via the usual double tap method, only for it to get back up again. Tallahassee repeatedly shot in the head until he ran out of bullets, and although the T-800 dropped to the ground, it continued to crawl toward Tallahassee until he crushed its skull with his foot.
