□ Name: Travis Touchdown
□ Journal: http://crownless-king.dreamwidth.org/
□ Series: No More Heroes
□ Canon point: The end of No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, as he’s falling from the top of Batt’s tower.
□ History: http://suda51.wikia.com/wiki/Travis_Touchdown#Story – Long story short, killing is cool, killing is fun, killing pays the bills, killing for sex, moe moe moe, compassion for the ladies, kill stealing stranger, surprise incest, revenge, more revenge, surprise-er twin brother, cliffhanger ending, EVEN MORE revenge, cycle of revenge, master!, pervy teacher complex, kill stealing the sequel, heel realization, heel face turn, more ero, mother fucking war, no more no, and a trail of dead bodies that have been hacked up into a varying number of pieces.
□ Personality: Travis is the innate combination of an otaku, a badass, and an idiot (Well, half an idiot, half a genius. It depends on the time of day and whether or not the plot calls for the idiot ball). He's the very definition of blunt when it comes to his words, at least most of the time, and doesn't try to hide a whole lot, to a fault even. He finds that life is at its most enjoyable when you're at the most risk of losing it and truly appreciates the threat of death, showing nothing but loathing for any perversion of that it, ESPECIALLY if it's so that others can get their jollies. He's by no means a noble individual. He trolls people he doesn't like relentlessly, pays no respect to anyone that hasn't either outright earned it or made friendly with him, and won't hesitate to challenge someone. But he's also got his standards, and there are things he will not abide by.
For the most part, Travis is a charismatic and, as mentioned above, trollish individual, with moments of arrogance whenever it comes to being awesome. He doesn't shy away from having fun, be it drinking with friends or playing a round of Wii Boxing. He's an otaku, so he has a fundamental love for anime, particularly magical girl and mecha animes. And if they cross over, beware of the power of his fanboy. So too does he have a respect and deep admiration for Japanese culture, particularly of samurai. He's also a pro wrestling fan and a considerably talented wrestler as well. Something of which he is happy to boast about if the topic ever comes up. While he does have some truly noteworthy charisma to him, he's just as capable of seeming like an idiot, of the lame loser and vulgarly blunt varieties.
But that isn't to say he's not without a dark side. And Travis has a considerable one. While there isn't much he keeps bottled up, there are some sizable exceptions. He is also a creature of the kill, and is no stranger to revenge. Furthermore, he is an assassin. Killing is in his nature, and while he loves the thrill of a good deathmatch, he is also quite capable of killing those weaker than him without any remorse. This does not mean that Travis cares nothing for the people he kills, however. It has been shown time and time again that he recognizes their existences. This is shown more so in the second game, to where he refuses to strike a killing blow on two opponents, both of them male. Failure affects him in one of two ways. If he fails himself, he sets that task as the new standard to overcome and strives to do so. But if he fails others, such as getting one killed or being unable to save them, he gets far angrier and darker. He never seems to fall into the trap of blaming himself, instead focusing all his hate and rage towards whoever he perceives as responsible. And if anyone, friends or foe alike, gets in his way at this point, they are likely to be met with violence.
Worth noting here is that Travis himself seems very susceptible to tunnel vision, especially when it comes to his more driven pursuits. He is very much someone that leaps before he looks, and to his credit, he manages to make it work. Most of the time, this has something to do with the people he's usually leaping at. All it takes, however, is one real good mistake for Travis to realize that all his blind leaping has had its consequences. What's interesting is that he neither lets it destroy him, nor forgoes it completely. Rather, he allows it to have its effect, before finding some way to either confront and resolve it, or take hold of it and let it make him stronger. Almost like learning the pattern of a boss in order to best it, Travis learns from these moments in order to best continue on.
Travis' motivations can range from inane and instantly gratifying to deeper and intensely personal. He's a spur of the moment kind of guy, and lives in the here and now. When he gets a goal, he focuses in on it and pursues it without stop, doing whatever he has until he either achieves it, or something happens that disrupts his focus and rattles his perception of reality. But if there isn't anything like a plot to guide him, Travis just likes to live each day to the fullest, get some laughs out of it, and if he's lucky, throw down and fight with a fellow badass. That said, when he's on his way to something in particular, he's the kind of person that won't hesitate to be an asshole. Especially if it requires a sequential string of fights, and you're lacking one pair of breasts. And even if you do have them, there's no hope for you if you're insane.
Despite his otaku like tendencies and his moments of idiocy, he plays off people of all types very well. This is part and parcel with his charisma, as there is pretty much no one he cannot click with at some level. Though chances are, the more insufferable they are, the more he'll go out of his way to piss them off. He isn't in the business of lying to people and trying to play them, and makes sure that people knows what he thinks of them. It takes a lot to sufficiently put him off, unless you're already on his hit list for some reason or another. Generally, people that are wrapped up in their own angst don't interest him much, and likewise with people who are intent on being victimized. Everyone else, however, is fair game. And even then, most of the time his trolling is good natured. If it ever gets to the point where it's not, chances are you already know exactly what he thinks of you.
Travis is also a very meta individual. He's incredible genre savvy when it comes to the world around him, offering him a kind of circumstantial intelligence that he uses to the fullest effect. By which I mean comedic. He's not only fully aware of the fourth wall, but downright abusive to it. This can range from talking about himself as a video game protagonist, to pointing out moments of extreme bull in the plot. This often makes him seem quirky at best and off his nut at the worse.
Finally, and perhaps the most important, Travis is a rather troubled soul. But as the rest of this personality section should display, this is RARELY ever seen. Layers upon layers of different character traits and quirks bury these things. Death and revenge are just as much parts of his past as they are his present, and a great deal of his true motivations lie in a singular truth. The people Travis care about die because Travis cares about them. He's well aware, at some extent, that his own quests for revenge cycle back to him, taking away what he has. He is also well aware of the inescapable nature of this, representing itself in his own personal quest to find paradise.
To summarize, Travis is a uniquely diverse asshole. He is wholly capable of clicking with just about anyone, though interest is usually a factor, and the methods to his madness can lead him to be a good friend, a great rival, and a wicked enemy. He loves to kill, but hates to see life robbed of it's worth. In one hand he can be a fool, and in the next he can show some incredible insight. And if you're ever lucky (or unlucky) enough to dig all the way through, you've got someone who is just trying to be his own kind of hero despite the fact that his actions lead to an ever present circle of death.
□ Age: 30
□ Gender: Male
□ Appearance: Being from a crazy game like No More Heroes, Travis has a large variety of outfits and attires available to him. His look, however, is set to a specific selection of clothes. One pair of aviator shades, one leather jacket, one logo t-shirt or some sort, one glove on his right hand, one band on his left wrist, one pair of jeans, one pair of sneakers. For the sake of being uniform, the attire he will enter into the game with will be the ones in his artwork included below.
Physically he is quite similar to Johnny Knoxville, only taller and better built. His hair, sideburns and facial structure also has some tiger like appeal to them, coinciding with his name including the word for tiger in its Japanese pronunciation. (To-ra-vi-su). He is also often associated with wrestling masks, and his many a shirt with them featured on it. For the sake of the game, however, his t-shirt will be a pink shirt with the following design on it.

□ Abilities/Powers: Quite a few, none of which is really game breaking but almost all of which play video game mechanics quite straight. Firstly he is an extensively well trained assassin and professional wrestler. He has a very large variety of different wrestling maneuvers that he has mastered both new and old. However his true skill is in swordsmanship, as he shows himself capable of a multitude of very effective and vicious styles with each of his weapons.
He is faster than most humans, capable of bursts of speed which make the world around him seem like it is moving in slow motion (these last only a scant few seconds and can only be activated with successful parries) and is also capable of deflecting up to fully automatic small arms fire. Anything bigger, like rockets or lasers, he can block but still takes damage from.
He is quite strong, though realistically so compared to his other abilities. He can suplex near effortless men of incredible large and robust stature, and can swing the Peony (Long beam katana that gets even longer the more full his ecstasy gauge is) with relative ease.
He is extremely durable, able to take an insane amount of punishment up to and including a hand through his chest, and walk it off. With this respect, he heals damage by eating pizza. To this extent as well, he has a very healthy reserve of energy and can keep fighting even when mostly dead.
He has a number of special abilities that are activated via successful kills of enemies. As there are a number of these abilities, this wikia page here: (http://suda51.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Side_Mode) covers them quite effectively. Of note, latest skills take priority if there is overlap. For instance, Gooseberry Sugar Donut over Anarchy in the Galaxy.
Successful combat without being hit, or just looking at some porn, will fill his ecstasy gauge which, when full, allows him to go into a super mode of sorts. In this he is far faster and stronger than before, up to where he will circle an opponent multiple times while attacking him at high speeds. This itself lasts for roughly twenty seconds.
His weapon of choice is the Beam Katana, which is essentially a lawyer friendly Lightsaber. One of these, his oldest, is on a track but the other three have no such track for the light blade. While they can cut through anything outside of combat and within reason, in combat they cannot cleave through an opponent's weapon. They are also powered by batteries that are recharged via kinetic energy and looking ridiculous. Only the Peony has an additional feature to speak of, which is the ability to grow longer the more Travis fills his ecstasy gauge.
Finally, he is very fourth wall aware. Not to the degree that someone like Deadpool might be, but certainly aware enough to make comments on the narrative structure of his video game, up to and including blatantly discussing the age rating of his game. It is quite understandable if this needs to be nerfed with respects to the environment he is entering.
Most of the physical traits are self explanatory. Of specific note is endurance, which would suggest he'd be more...active in a sex heavy environment like this. Otherwise, most of these serve to give him a lethal edge in combat, and thus most are liable to be reduced or outright nerfed when he arrives. Healing from pizza is based around game logic damage, but considering Travis took a hand in his chest and at his heart, and was no worse for wear in the next cutscene, it seems likely that it applies to outright open wounds. (Though personally, it's my opinion that scar damage remains).
For the Dark Side abilities (dependent on the outcome of a slot system in game), a feasible explanation that I would personally go forward with is that each successful fatality is registered by whichever beam katana he was using at the time (thus relegating this to a skill only usable with those weapons). It would then determine via random chance (dice roll, something of that nature) whether or not one ability would be activated. As for the ability itself, they're all already within Travis as natural talents, but are only triggered through successful activation from use of the Beam Katana, perhaps through a system of electrical impulse. However, since this is not a game Travis is likely to kill lots and lots of people in, if any at all, it would not be likely that these have any direct impact in his time here.
Mention of the Ecstasy gauge, on the other hand, could. As it is directly tied to his perpetual state, there is a feasible explanation that it is tied to his adrenaline levels more than anything else. As as the nature of the actual ability dependent on said gauge is a pure increase towards overall physical abilities, it operates more as a burst. Sort of an adrenaline high rather than a super mode, only taken to it's logical limits and beyond. While again, more based towards Travis' lethal abilities, something like this could very well serve to keep him active in the sack. Especially the notion that reading a porno mag could "restore the meter to full". Essentially, it could work just as well for sexual drive as it could lethal intent, within reason and with some nerfing. (We don't need any Super Powered Nookie deaths now.)
The fourth wall is mostly comical, although it could mean he'd be wiser to some of the nature of the setting, or able to potentially guess some plot developments based on how they mirror similar media, like TV shows or doujinshi. However, as he is just as suspect of picking up and playing with the Idiot Ball, it could just as easily sort itself out and stay comical. For the sake of not making any character uncomfortable, he would only retain knowledge of historical figures (ancient Chinese warriors for instance) while everything else takes on lawyer friendly cameo rules.
As for, finally, why his Beam Katana can cut through as much as it can, but get stopped hard by a baseball bat, or a fist...well frankly your guess is as good as mine. But considering the technical level of the weapon, it's highly unlikely he'll be getting it back any time soon, let alone get it back when he's still liable to use it willy nilly.
□ Personal Items:
-One Beam Katana: The Tsubaki MK III. It looks like a giant flashlight and has dear sentimental value to Travis, but is not one of his main five beam katanas that were on him at the time of arrival, and thus confiscated.
-One phone set with answering machine fit to burst with messages about overdue movies from Beef Head Video (the last of which is from Bishop instead of Diane)
-Two wrestling masks
-Two complete outfits (jeans, jacket, shades, shirt and shoes).
-Four different manga. Two of them are shounen hero ones, one is an ecchi manga, and the other is a hardcore erotic anthology manga.
□ First Person Sample: [The video feed clicks on to look down at a terribly graphic front cover to a doujinshi, entitled “The Fisherman’s Wife part 3: Electric Bugal-Eel]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of “Terrible things I will read online until I get twenty marks”. Still working on a name. Was leaning towards Mark Out Tuesday, but that’s a wrestling term and I’m not going to waste that on anything BUT pornographic wrestling matches. Anyways, same old story. I subject everyone to the most perverted shit I can, and won’t stop until I either get my money, or someone tries to kill me.
Which means I get to have a little fun anyways, so win fucking win.
Alright, here we go!
[He cracks open to the middle of the book, and if this were any network ever, even HBO, half of what IS shown would be pixilated, or inundated with black bars of censorship]
Wow, I didn’t even know tentacles could do that. Yeesh. Three tentacle-sexy five me. Ah, right. Ahem.
I will ravish you until you are fit for my thousands upon thousands of eggs, Kimiko-chan…said Mr. Tentacle Monster…
[And this went on for several hours]
□ Third Person Sample:
A man was walking down a street, a box of some Japanese cracker confection in one hand, a glorified and elongated flashlight (from the looks of it) twirling about in the other, and a familiar tune on his lips that severely damaged the fourth wall by simply being there in the first place. Interrupted only by the odd treat finding its way into his mouth and being succinctly devoured and enjoyed. It was the first chance he's had since the sequel to just kick back, so to speak, and relax.
Not to mention wander the streets of his glorious little city, Santa Destroy. Murder capital of the United States and home to more dead killers than all the prisons in Texas combined. Yeah, ever since the developers took away the free roaming, it had been all boiled down into some mad rushing from scene to scene. And sometimes it just got fucking obscene. Not that he had really been in a state to give a crap back then. Murder had been on his mind, thick like the flavoring coating of a Pocky and about as thorough when it came to covering his thoughts.
So what did he decide he wanted to do on his first weekend off since his roaring rampage of revenge?
That question wouldn't be answered until the street was long gone, replaced with dirty brown ground and foliage, with stone slabs buried into the ground in a pattern. He walked around them, one by one, looking down. Some names meant nothing to him, some of them did. He walked by one of the fresher graves, relatively speaking. It read but a single name, five letters long. Immortalized, so that the world wouldn't forget her. Just like he wouldn't.
But he didn't stop until he reached that grave.
Bishop Sidaks.
"Sidaks. Man, they really did fuck up your last name. What a pile of shit." It had been the first true chance he'd had to visit his friend. Some people, some people brought flowers. But Travis wasn't that kind of guy, and neither was Bishop. Instead, he pulled out a movie. Crows Zero 2. The director, Takashi Miike. "No roses, Bishop. Well, unless there are roses in this movie. Can't say I've watched it, but I know you had a thing for the director. Besides, it's a DVD. This thing will outlive roses by centuries." And wasn't that fitting. The loser assassin, his second tour through revenge finished, still alive while more of the people that mattered were dead. That there was some stunning commentary, he figured.
And with a sigh, Travis crouched down, brushing some of the dirt off of the grave and laying the DVD just in front of the slab.
"Look. I'm not gonna be around now. For a while at least. Wrapped up all the loose ends with this game, and with everything done with, there's no more need for no more heroes like me. Well, except for one person. Which is what I'm trying to say." Shifts a little, looking over his shoulder. "I'm going after her. A smart guy might be running the opposite direction, and I can't blame them. But I'm not smart. Not by a long shot. I'm fucking nuts. Which means there's only one way for me to go." He pats the grave before standing up and beginning to walk off.
"I'll see you later, Bishop. When Miike releases his next piece of work. We'll make a tradition of it or something." He calls over his shoulder, sighing to himself before reaching for his phone and letting his finger hover over a certain button. Before eventually just shifting away.
That's one feature that'll never come back.

Mention of the Ecstasy gauge, on the other hand, could. As it is directly tied to his perpetual state, there is a feasible explanation that it is tied to his adrenaline levels more than anything else. As as the nature of the actual ability dependent on said gauge is a pure increase towards overall physical abilities, it operates more as a burst. Sort of an adrenaline high rather than a super mode, only taken to it's logical limits and beyond. While again, more based towards Travis' lethal abilities, something like this could very well serve to keep him active in the sack. Especially the notion that reading a porno mag could "restore the meter to full". Essentially, it could work just as well for sexual drive as it could lethal intent, within reason and with some nerfing. (We don't need any Super Powered Nookie deaths now.)
The fourth wall is mostly comical, although it could mean he'd be wiser to some of the nature of the setting, or able to potentially guess some plot developments based on how they mirror similar media, like TV shows or doujinshi. However, as he is just as suspect of picking up and playing with the Idiot Ball, it could just as easily sort itself out and stay comical. For the sake of not making any character uncomfortable, he would only retain knowledge of historical figures (ancient Chinese warriors for instance) while everything else takes on lawyer friendly cameo rules.
As for, finally, why his Beam Katana can cut through as much as it can, but get stopped hard by a baseball bat, or a fist...well frankly your guess is as good as mine. But considering the technical level of the weapon, it's highly unlikely he'll be getting it back any time soon, let alone get it back when he's still liable to use it willy nilly.
□ Personal Items:
-One Beam Katana: The Tsubaki MK III. It looks like a giant flashlight and has dear sentimental value to Travis, but is not one of his main five beam katanas that were on him at the time of arrival, and thus confiscated.
-One phone set with answering machine fit to burst with messages about overdue movies from Beef Head Video (the last of which is from Bishop instead of Diane)
-Two wrestling masks
-Two complete outfits (jeans, jacket, shades, shirt and shoes).
-Four different manga. Two of them are shounen hero ones, one is an ecchi manga, and the other is a hardcore erotic anthology manga.
□ First Person Sample: [The video feed clicks on to look down at a terribly graphic front cover to a doujinshi, entitled “The Fisherman’s Wife part 3: Electric Bugal-Eel]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, to another edition of “Terrible things I will read online until I get twenty marks”. Still working on a name. Was leaning towards Mark Out Tuesday, but that’s a wrestling term and I’m not going to waste that on anything BUT pornographic wrestling matches. Anyways, same old story. I subject everyone to the most perverted shit I can, and won’t stop until I either get my money, or someone tries to kill me.
Which means I get to have a little fun anyways, so win fucking win.
Alright, here we go!
[He cracks open to the middle of the book, and if this were any network ever, even HBO, half of what IS shown would be pixilated, or inundated with black bars of censorship]
Wow, I didn’t even know tentacles could do that. Yeesh. Three tentacle-sexy five me. Ah, right. Ahem.
I will ravish you until you are fit for my thousands upon thousands of eggs, Kimiko-chan…said Mr. Tentacle Monster…
[And this went on for several hours]
□ Third Person Sample:
A man was walking down a street, a box of some Japanese cracker confection in one hand, a glorified and elongated flashlight (from the looks of it) twirling about in the other, and a familiar tune on his lips that severely damaged the fourth wall by simply being there in the first place. Interrupted only by the odd treat finding its way into his mouth and being succinctly devoured and enjoyed. It was the first chance he's had since the sequel to just kick back, so to speak, and relax.
Not to mention wander the streets of his glorious little city, Santa Destroy. Murder capital of the United States and home to more dead killers than all the prisons in Texas combined. Yeah, ever since the developers took away the free roaming, it had been all boiled down into some mad rushing from scene to scene. And sometimes it just got fucking obscene. Not that he had really been in a state to give a crap back then. Murder had been on his mind, thick like the flavoring coating of a Pocky and about as thorough when it came to covering his thoughts.
So what did he decide he wanted to do on his first weekend off since his roaring rampage of revenge?
That question wouldn't be answered until the street was long gone, replaced with dirty brown ground and foliage, with stone slabs buried into the ground in a pattern. He walked around them, one by one, looking down. Some names meant nothing to him, some of them did. He walked by one of the fresher graves, relatively speaking. It read but a single name, five letters long. Immortalized, so that the world wouldn't forget her. Just like he wouldn't.
But he didn't stop until he reached that grave.
Bishop Sidaks.
"Sidaks. Man, they really did fuck up your last name. What a pile of shit." It had been the first true chance he'd had to visit his friend. Some people, some people brought flowers. But Travis wasn't that kind of guy, and neither was Bishop. Instead, he pulled out a movie. Crows Zero 2. The director, Takashi Miike. "No roses, Bishop. Well, unless there are roses in this movie. Can't say I've watched it, but I know you had a thing for the director. Besides, it's a DVD. This thing will outlive roses by centuries." And wasn't that fitting. The loser assassin, his second tour through revenge finished, still alive while more of the people that mattered were dead. That there was some stunning commentary, he figured.
And with a sigh, Travis crouched down, brushing some of the dirt off of the grave and laying the DVD just in front of the slab.
"Look. I'm not gonna be around now. For a while at least. Wrapped up all the loose ends with this game, and with everything done with, there's no more need for no more heroes like me. Well, except for one person. Which is what I'm trying to say." Shifts a little, looking over his shoulder. "I'm going after her. A smart guy might be running the opposite direction, and I can't blame them. But I'm not smart. Not by a long shot. I'm fucking nuts. Which means there's only one way for me to go." He pats the grave before standing up and beginning to walk off.
"I'll see you later, Bishop. When Miike releases his next piece of work. We'll make a tradition of it or something." He calls over his shoulder, sighing to himself before reaching for his phone and letting his finger hover over a certain button. Before eventually just shifting away.
That's one feature that'll never come back.
