We’ve heard horror stories of the universe subject C-89 comes from - stories of video game characters being warped beyond recognition and given complete overhauls in terms of personality and speech - but now we have definitive proof. C-89, unlike his CVN-86 counterpart, is incredibly vain and isn’t afraid to show off his looks and muscles even when unprompted. Not to mention he’s also flirted with most of the female subjects and thankfully been met with rejection every single time. He’s kind of a pain to deal with but we can...hopefully rely on him if any serious threats emerge.

Character [P1] - Basil

Wandering through a dark door, a pleasant gardener has arrived at the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y.! Basil, the timid boy with quite the green thumb, has gotten himself horrifically lost, but the museum is sure to be a safe place for him. Sourcewise, he has several things to pull from. Plants and flowers, of course, are where his expertise truly lies! And just like a white egret orchid says, with his wide variety of mind-related sources, his thoughts will follow you into your dreams. But there seems to be something constantly worrying Basil, and it's something that allows him to pull from much more fear-inducing media... However, it's probably nothing to worry about! The smile on his face lets everyone know that everything is going to be okay.

Character [P4] - Mario "Jumpman" Mario

It's-a-him, Mario! This portly plumber of world renown has caught wind of another world of paintings and, with a mistaken invite, has come to the G.A.L.L.E.R.Y. for a chance to become the Superstar! If he can make it through with just his legacy, his athletic prowess, and a few powerups at his beck and call, then perhaps a true victory won't end up being found in another museum...

CHARACTER REPRESENTED: Manuel And His Tiger

Hallo? Oh my god! Who let a stock animal into my tournament?! Word on the street is that it's the infamous Manuel, stumbling straight out of the dark closet Ricesnot has trapped him in for several months. There's not much to say about Manuel, beyond his love for his pet and deep appreciation for eurobeat. His grand intent's to weaponize both to get a leg over his opposition, but when you're constantly on call - even worse, constantly put on hold - what can you really do when faced with competition this stiff?

Sunshine Stitches (Doc McStuffins from Doc McStuffins + Tails Doll from Sonic R)
One of the stranger pairs of subjects here are subjects D-12 and D-98, referred to as Dottie “Doc” McStuffins and Tails Doll respectively. Doc appears to be a young girl with a certain affinity for fixing toys and other playthings and arrived here with a few in tow. Perhaps that’s what drew her to attempting to fix up Tails Doll, which at first glance appears to be a crude plush version of a video game mascot’s sidekick. However, experimentation has shown something more lies beneath that intimidating deadpan glare. Doc has been a bit vague on why she’s operating on this toy, something I worry could lead to something far worse.

--------------

Subject H-57, at first, appears to be a normal human scientist under the name Bruce Banner. Banner was initially part of the research group, and his anomalous abilities were ignored for the sake of his status as an employee. However, interaction with foreign interdimensional elements has caused him to transform into a massive, festivity-despising monster referred to as “the Incredible Grinch”. The Grinch is highly unstable and appears to be capable of stealing objects without anyone noticing, especially those which produce sound; when bothered by noise, he has been noted to scream something sounding like “NOISE, NOISE, NOISE!”. Current testing to get Banner back to a normal state of mind has proved futile but it appears the effect wears off once the Grinch is satisfied.

Lord Cowboy Darrell
There’s a new daddy in town! Or so subject BM-051 claims. Referring to himself as Lord Cowboy Darrell, this robot is significantly more intelligent than we initially perceived him to be. He’s remarkably fast, is equipped with a retractable arm cannon and a giant spiked fist that nearly crushed [REDACTED] last week, and can send out a seemingly endless supply of duplicates of himself. He also claims to be the current owner of a large robot-manufacturing plant across the street from a mere bodega; we’re still not sure whether this is true or false, the jury still remains split. Regardless, subject BM-051 appears to be a bit more fierce than we first thought…

Subject W-100 is one of the more peculiar subjects. They seem to be based on the "Bard" class from “Dungeons and Dragons”. As they are a representation of an archetype, rather than a single entity, their physical form is more abstract than most other subjects. Subject W-100 is capable of generating a variety of brass, woodwinds and percussion instruments at will, much to the dismay of company researchers. W-100 also seems to rely heavily on an anomalous sense of luck, occasionally performing impossible feats due to what they refer to as “Critical Successes”. However, this also leads to them occasionally failing at basic tasks, which they refer to as “Critical Failures”. This anomalous property should be carefully observed at all times.
