Huh. I have heard of that.

Also it is on.

[Josephus]

Then unless he's an RO monster, I still have no idea who he is.

What the heck is RO?

Excellent. My attempts to pick a well-known character have turned into a cunning game of oneupsmanship for obscure lingo.


Ragnarok Online, Korean MMO.

That's Korean? I never knew.

John McClane.

[kcwong]

John McClane.

I concur.

[Criptfeind]

Is it the Skeleton General?

[Giant Snowman]

I didn't mean for it to be that easy. I guess you're up Josephus.

[Josephus]

Aright, here we go. The stupid genie asked a bunch of hair questions, so there's a big clue there.

EDIT: NEVER MIND THAT ONE

[Askot Bokbondeler]

so, he's in a comic, fights and wear a glove :\ could you possibly be more generic?

[Josephus]

Actually, yeah, me and the Akinator frigged this one up. I'll put up another one, because the answer was "Batgirl", but the answer for "animal nickname was "no". Whoops.

For realz this time:

Is your character real? No No
Is your character a male? Yes Yes
Does your character fight? Yes Yes
Is your character Japanese? No Probably not
Is your character from a video game? Yes Yes
Does your character fight with a sword? No No
Is your character a human being? Yes Yes
Does your character use guns? Yes Yes
Does your character fight against monsters? No No
Does your character wear a headband? No No
Is your character bad? Yes Yes
Does your character have a nickname linked with animals? Yes Yes
Does your character have a twin? Sort of Probably
Does your character have a famous brother? No No
Does your character have hair? Yes Yes
Does your character appear in a game from Konami? No No
Does your character wear glasses? Yes Yes
Does your character have the name of an animal? Yes Yes

Answer: ?

[Giant Snowman]

You got a tricky one here. Not even a guess yet? Let's start thinking out loud. I wonder if the Sort of Probably has a twin means that he's a clone or from a parallel universe. I don't think it's the classic evil alter ego like Wario or Dark Samus because of the theme. A man that doesn't fight monsters and uses guns suggests a bit more serious atmosphere. I think if it was a space marine or something Akinator would have asked "Has your character been into space?" at some point. So he would fall somewhere between the time glasses started getting used (15th century?) and the time everyone does at least one summer holiday on Venus.

A curious answer is the Probably not Japanese. Josephus gives a clear no yet some people on the internet weren't so sure. Could he be from a Japanese game or does his animal name need to be translated from Japanese? Maybe the plot isn't very specific where he's from and he's simply a bit asian looking.

I'd say it's one of the metal gear snakes, but none of them seems to be wearing glasses. Two of them are sort of twins,  male, fight with guns, and are humans in a video game. You said it was the bad guy, I think that was liquid snake? But still, the glasses...

[Josephus]

Not quite one of the Snakes.

The glasses are really the key here, and here's a hint: they are sunglasses.

The genie probably thought the same thing and then asked if he was from a Konami game, so that rules out all the snakes, ocelots, wolves and mantisses.

Without the animal name it could be one of the Dentons.
