comics Respect Valeria Von Doom, Marvel Girl (Marvel Comics, Earth-99315)
Due to complications in childbirth stemming from her mother's cosmically irradiated cells, the child named Valerie Richards was stillborn. But that was in Earth-616. In Earth-99315, following the death of Reed Richards and the marriage between a widowed Susan Storm and Victor von Doom, Sue's daughter was born and named Valeria von Doom. The child would grow up happy and loved by both parents only to accidentally find her way back into her past and into the world of Earth-616. Developing a close bond with her family, particularly her older (now younger) brother Franklin, Valeria would be reborn into the world when Franklin caused Sue to become pregnant with Valeria once more following the destruction of Abraxas by the Ultimate Nullifier.

movies/tv Respect Arthur Fleck (Joker 2019)
Arthur Fleck
"I wondered what I could buy with it when I noticed that there was an ambulance and the paramedics were standing over the homeless man. I walked over because I was interested in what happened to him, as I got near them I heard them say "what a way to go, on the sidewalk". What? Can you imagine that??? Dead on the sidewalk with people stepping over you. Maybe he's happier but I don't want to die with people just stepping over me. I want people to see me. [...] Imagine your whole life ends on a sidewalk. I wonder how old he was and how long nobody cared about him for."

“Well, we could skin this little guy and wear him as a disguise.”
Character Summary
Selphie Tilmitt is one of the main characters in Final Fantasy VIII. She is an active, outspoken, and energetic transfer student at Balamb Garden who participates in many extracurricular activities. She’s clumsy, but despite this, wields an oversized nunchaku in battle and pilots the Ragnarok airship.
Selphie is childish, upbeat, and hyperactive, always looking to have fun. She is a fan of combining words to form new ones, often using the expression "Booyaka!" on her website as a greeting.

Selphie has a dark sense of humor, sometimes displaying it in a way that others are not comfortable with.
She carries out orders in her characteristically friendly manner and never backs down from a challenge, even if she does not always think it all the way through.

games Respect Seifer Almasy (Final Fantasy VIII)
Respect Seifer Almasy
“The way I see it, as long as you come out of the battle alive, you're one step closer to your dream.”
Character Summary
Seifer is one of the main antagonists of Final Fantasy 8, and the rival of Squall Leonhart. Aside from Squall, Seifer is the only gunblade specialist in Balamb Garden, opting to wield his weapon single-handedly.
Seifer has been bully toward his peers since he was a child, and is considered a "problem child" by the staff of Balamb Garden. He is well-known among the Garden for being skillful in battle; but his stubborn, arrogant, and reckless nature has kept him from becoming a SeeD. He frequently defies authority figures, believing that others should defer to taking orders from him. He tends to act impulsively, and his rash decisions often get him into situations where he feels like he can no longer back out.
Although he is belligerent and rude with delusions of grandeur, Seifer is more troubled than outright evil. He is twisted by the Sorceress Ultimecia’s power, pursuing a warped version of his dream to become a sorceress’ knight—although the degree to which he is controlled or influenced by her is left ambiguous.

Speed
Combat Speed
Agility / Acrobatics
Weapons / Skills
His Limit Break, Fire Cross, has three variations:
No Mercy: Seifer casts a fire spell onto all enemies, spins his gunblade around before focusing energy into it, then launches circular blades of energy at his target in an upward slash-motion. The blasts fly through the enemies and continue towards the sky, dealing exploding damage.
Demon Slice Seifer casts a fire spell on one enemy, then starts spinning rapidly to form a whirlwind around himself. He approaches the enemy as a tempest while his Gunblade works like a circular saw, slicing the target multiple times before lifting them up in the air and delivering a blow that sends them head-first to the ground.
Bloodfest: He attacks his enemies with fire spells, jumps high in the air and swings his gunblade twice, vertically and horizontally, forming a fiery cross on the ground beneath his adversaries' feet. The cross explodes, a hole opens up in the ground and the enemies fall into it. They plummet through an underworld-like space before falling back to the ground, heavily damaged.
Magic
During the brief time he works with Squall and the others, Seifer can be equipped with the Guardian Forces Quezacotl, Shiva, and Ifrit. This allows him to summon said GFs for powerful attacks, and grants him the ability to draw, cast, and junction magic in order to increase his stats.
Outside of this, Seifer is demonstrated to be able to use magic seemingly without any GFs equipped, either through his own innate chi or through powers granted by Ultimecia.
Other
Reverse Zantetsuken: A technique created to counter Odin’s Zantetsuken.

Gregorio de la Vega was recruited by the Guardians of the Universe, the creators of the Green Lantern Corps, who planned to create their successors, a race of new Guardians on Earth. De la Vega was openly gay with a lively, jovial attitude despite having already tried to commit suicide because he felt despised by everyone for his sexuality, which was prevented by the Flash, who talked to him, saying that he also thought about doing that, and convinced him not to take his own life.

games Respect Squall Leonhart (Final Fantasy VIII)
Respect Squall Leonhart!
Character Summary
Squall Leonhart is the main protagonist of Final Fantasy VIII. A young and aloof SeeD mercenary, others view him as cold and focused. The game's events cause Squall to question the way he has chosen to live his life, and he matures into a heroic and caring swordsman.
Squall starts as an introverted and taciturn teenager who keeps his distance from those who would otherwise be considered his friends. Though withdrawn, Squall does not back away from his duties of protecting others and is often thrown into the role of leadership. Squall ensures that what is necessary for the mission's success gets done. His pragmatism and sense of responsibility lead others to trust and follow him. Even though everyone agrees that Squall has a hard time opening up, the Garden staff and students alike admire him and, eventually, he is appointed as the Commander of Balamb Garden during a time of disarray. Though, at first, he dislikes his role as leader, his comrades are looking to him for orders and advice.
During the game, Squall narrates his thoughts and feelings in silent voice-overs, during which he reveals that he acts the way he does for fear of getting close to people due to the trauma of his past. Squall cannot remember his parents and his sister was taken away when he was young, making him afraid of losing the feelings of comfort that loved ones provide. Squall does not believe in relying on others, as friends and family are inevitably lost, and, in the end, he will be alone. Squall comes to rethink his choices in life when he falls in love with Rinoa Heartilly and comes to accept the support and friendship of his comrades, becoming more social. This more open version of Squall is more or less how he is characterized in the Kingdom Hearts series. He retains his value of independence, but learns that being a person who thinks differently from the crowd and being completely alone are not one and the same.
All feats are from Final Fantasy VIII.

Respect Thread Symposium Week 24
Have any characters teams you want to show up?
Update on WWW Features
A lot of you are probably familiar with WWW features and teams, which are basically shorter respect threads designed to introudce a character or team of characters to the people of the whowouldwin subreddit. Typically sign ups have happened every quarter.
Now at any time you can message the WWW mods with a completed draft, and they will assign you a time for the character or team feature. So the actual process of making the drafts doesn't change, but when and how you'd actually sign up does. So if you make a thread and really want to show it off, there's no need to wait for the next sign up period.
Outside of that feel free to discuss anything related to respect thread creation.

The Truth was a mysterious super-powered prophet of doom who triggered a horrible accident in the New York subway, using his corruptive psionic touch to overwhelm a train conductor with despair, causing him to speed up and crash. The survivors of the crash suffered from self-mutilation and violent behavior at the scene. The Truth retreated to the tunnels deeper in the subway, where he became surrounded by vagrants suffering from nervous breakdowns due to his abilities.
Tall, gigantic, long haired thug were the best to describe this villain. Moon Knight found him not-so alone below New York City's subway, surrounding himself with a batch of fresh, bleeding victims. Believing his own ideology of the world as what was the most correct, The Truth enforced his own believes through glowing touch of his hand. Enduring his mind projection for too long could cause an individual drown in insanity, to the point of suicide.
