IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Gary. But, since he is a henchman, he usually goes by “21”. In fact, he embraces this so wholly that even though his current rank is Henchman 1, he refuses to be called by that. He also likes the pseudonym ‘The Viceroy’, in case you wanted to know.
Canon: Venture Bros.
OU/AU/OC: OU
Posesssions: His henching costume, which comes with working wings, a utility belt and... torn up sleeves. He also has spring-loaded knives that are hidden in his gloves. Somehow. I don't know, cartoons. Also, he has some ninja-star like butterflies in his utility belt. Yay, cool.
Canon Point: Before the latest episode (Operation P.R.O.M)
History: http://venturefans.org/vbwiki/Henchman_21 Tadaa?
Personality: At first, 21/Gary is the stereotypical geek. He LARPs, collects comics and memorabilia from fantasy and science fiction movies and he is a walking, talking Wikipedia when it comes to various specialties of nerdery and also celebrity signature perfume lines. Like many overzealous manchildren, 21 has been known to have heated debates about extraordinarily important topics such whether or not Smurfs lay eggs. He is a fan of Western-style fandoms such as Lord of the Rings, X-Men, Star Wars and Star Trek. If he is a fan of anime, manga and things like that, he’s kept that side particularly well hidden. He is not the type of person to choose only one genre of dorkdom and stick to it, he’s shown to be an equal fan of fantasy, science fiction and even card games.
I realize that this may seem like I’m going to go and fourth wall all over your game and stink up the place with it, but I promise to keep it to a minimum and it will only be with the consent of the character(s) in question. If y’like, I could have a permissions page set up for folks to say “yay please have 21 fanboy over my Star Wars character” or “NO FRODO CANNOT KNOW HE IS ONLY A FICTIONAL PERSON.”
Anyway, back to 21’s geekish ways: I’d also like to point out that he seems to be a bit of an amateur cryptozoologist. He’s able to distinguish between Ogopogo, Champ and the Lochness Monster and determine which would win in a fight. Not only that but he’s able to tell what Champ and Nessie are (a log and a toy submarine with a head made out of plastic wood, respectively) and while this knowledge is not a closely kept secret or anything, I bet if you stopped a bunch of people on the street and asked them about these things they would not know it. Okay, Champ is an easy guess, but he even got the part about Nessie’s head being made out of plastic wood right. Most people would probably guess modeling clay. Or photoshop.
21 was woefully incompetent when it comes to his job. Although he has been henching for the Monarch since he was fifteen, there are a lot of things he simply does not know about the job. He is unaware of most of the mission-codes and is often completely surprised by obvious features of the standard issue gear he is given. He survives the many missions that the Monarch sends 24 and him on because he is “the perfect combination of expendable and invulnerable,” according to the Monarch. But 24’s death rocked Gary to his very core. In order to find the person ‘responsible’ for 24’s death he made a drastic change in his life, becoming a… well, a badass. Before, he actually crapped at the sight of Brock Sampson (to be fair, Brock was naked and covered in blood) but since his transformation he is nearly on equal ground with the much-feared slayer of henchmen. He’s not quite there yet, but he’s a damn sight better than the majority of the henchmen he serves with. He’s still a geek, but he’s also putting his mental facilities to better use than figuring out the best argument to prove that Smurfs are mammals and thus do not reproduce via egglaying. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=KoZZCdRIxic&NR=1 Here you go if you want to see everything I said but in cartoon form.
Gary isn’t exactly the most mentally stable of guys. After 24’s death, not only did he keep the slightly-charred skull of his dead companion around, he talks to it. And he believes that 24’s ghost is haunting it. But far from being ~*ultra spooky*~, the haunting of 24’s skull is actually very useful to 21. 24 somehow is able to tell him things that no human without superhuman senses would be able to know, such as the position of enemies and what weapons they have.
Although I won’t be playing him from that canon point, it should be noted that 24 is not actually a ghost. 24 is all in Gary’s mind. Well, okay, the ghost part of him is. That is why I said that he isn’t the most stable of dudes. Although imagining his dead friend as an Obi-Wan Kenobi-ish ghost is pretty much a pretty harmless pastime, it does show a loose grip on reality.
After 24’s death, Gary sank into a deep depression. Although it didn’t come up while he was alive, after his death it’s revealed that 24 was the only person that he had considered a friend. And he tries everything he can to bring back his friend, such as giving up what has to be the most valuable thing he owns, a near-mint copy of Marvel Comics 1 worth $500,000 to Dr. Venture in order to try and convince him to clone 24. He is desperate enough to even promise that he’ll raise the 24-clone as his own child. When that doesn’t pan out he then turns to Dr. Orpheus to try and resurrect his friend. But no, 21 is doomed to be depressed and lonely for at least season 4.
But he does not just sit around being sad about it all. Nope! With the careful obsession that makes him such an exemplary dork he plots out “Operation: Eye for an I,” (there were other names, but this seems to be the one he’s and the ‘ghost of 24’ have settled on) an elaborate plot to find the person or persons responsible for 24’s death. Since he is now a badass that is feared by the other henchmen in the Fluttering Horde, he uses them to try and bring about swift vengeance to whoever it is that killed 24. When he does capture the first of many targets on his list, the Venture brothers, he sets out to interrogate them in a completely outmoded form of torture. It’s interesting to note that even though he came to a conclusion (though a rather unsatisfactory one) he keeps the plans for Operation: Eye for an I around. To remind him of his failure? Because he cannot cope with the conclusion that he killed 24? I don't know, man. I don't know.
OK, reading over this, it does kind of look like I'm totally writing this like I'm a hardcore 21/24 shipper. I am not. I do not plan to ship henchponies while I am here. It just kind of seems like that because of how freakishly obsessed over 24 21 is. Seriously, it's really creepy and sad all at the same time. OK, I'm done now.
Strengths: hand-to-hand combat, tennis ball –to-hand combat, armed combat, infiltration
Weaknesses: THE FACT THAT HE KILLED 24 (or at least that he thinks he did), normal human weaknesses, Dr. Girlfriend/ Dr. Mrs. The Monarch
Pony/Animal Type: Earth pony. A chubby earth pony. Omg yes.
Cutie Mark: His number: 21.

SAMPLES
First Person:
Okay, listen.
I’ve asked every pony that I’ve come across this question and not one single person has a satisfactory answer. There isn’t even anything in the library about this!
Why would anyone go with the term ‘alicorn’ over the obviously more precise term of ‘pegascorn’? The very word pegascorn tells you exactly what it is! It’s a pegasus combined with a unicorn. Pegascorn. It’s the perfect term! Alicorn just sounds like whoever decided to name them just didn’t care!
What the hell is an alicorn, anyway? The freaky offspring of Muhammad Ali and a unicorn? An alligator crossed with unicorn? All in a unicorn? Seriously! Alicorn is nowhere near as on target as pegascorn!
What is the point of it? Come on!
Third Person: From this thread here: http://mylittleooc.dreamwidth.org/461.html?thread=155085#cmt155085 (and also, not that it matters but I like to imagine that the NPC pony he was yelling at was Daisy)
It wasn't that he didn't care that the ghost of the friend who had been murdered (by his own incompetence) was trying to get his attention after having been silent since he had become a pony, it was that this was a very important argument. 21 was sick to death of daisies, daffodils, hay and cakes. He hadn't thought it would ever be possible to grow irritable at the sight of a cupcake, but here he was, snapping at some poor pink mare about the less-than-vegan lifestyle they were forced to lead.
"And marshmallows! Do you even know what marshmallows are made of?" The pony shook her head. "Gelatin! Do you know what that's made of?"
"C-C-Clouds?"
"No way. Bones." The pony's jaw dropped open wide. "They boil bones for the... the stuff inside, and then they dry it and grind it up," he lifted his front hooves and ground them together quickly, to emphasize his point. "And they make marshmallows from that. Why is that okay but not killing a couple of cows every week or two?" He shook his head, then looked off toward Sweet Apple Acres, pointing one hoof in a very determined manner.
"I heard they have pigs out there. Pigs! Why would they have pigs? Pigs only have..." He looked back to the mare he was lecturing, trailing off as he realized that she had fled while he had been glaring at the Apple barn.
