Chapter Text

Main Interviewees: 

 

Himiko Toga (My Hero Academia), A serial killer Metahuman with the ability to turn into her targets (and anyone else for that matter) by drinking their blood. Though cheerful and a hopeless romantic in her own bizarre way, Toga is still a dangerous individual who has a severely dangerous way of showing affection. 

 

Haley Long (American Dragon: Jake Long), the latest in a long line of Dragons posing as humans who protect the magic community from those seeking them harm. After her brother vanished one day, she eagerly took the position.. and within a month cracked under having to juggle the newfound pressures and responsibilities on top of entering her freshman year of high school at the time. After an incident where she had a slight mental break and hurt a leprechaun gangster way worse than intended, accidentally harming some innocents too, she let herself be taken in. Haley is a goody two shoes by nature, almost to an unhealthy level, and a huge perfectionist. 

 

Michael Afton (Five Nights at Freddy's), son of notorious child targeting serial killer William Afton. Micheal has dedicated his entire life to undoing his father's legacy, finding those he has harmed and helping them to the best of his ability. This also includes burning down every Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria he could find, intending to die himself in the last one. While he miraculously survived, he was obviously arrested for such a ridiculous amount of arson and property damage, getting sent to Arkham after a mental evaluation. 

 

Elizabeth Afton/Scrap Baby (Five Nights at Freddy's), Micheal's sister. After seemingly being killed decades ago, it turned out her spirit actually possessed the Animatronic that killed her. Having always been her father's favorite, Elizabeth deluded herself into believing he loved her and vowed to follow in his footsteps. Even being abandoned by Her Father when he tried to escape the Fire that got Micheal arrested so he could save his own skin hasn't been able to fully shake her of this delusional belief, insisting he was just panicked and totally would have helped her if the situation was less dire. Though soft-spoken and a little childish, Elizabeth has also gained a great skill in manipulation.

 

Luan Loud (The Loud House), A member of a large family, Luan was relatively normal, if a bit obnoxious and not always the best at taking things seriously. However, every April 1st she seemed to be unable to stop herself from going off the rails, her jokes turning into genuinely dangerous pranks. After a while this behavior slipped into days outside of April Fool's Day, and after an unknown incident, her family, despite still loving her, decided enough was enough and she eventually found herself homeless and then in Arkham.  

 

Monika (Doki Doki Literature Club), a young lass so desperate to be loved she will do pretty much anything to gain affections of those she has fallen for. Combined with the fact she is a Metahuman with the ability of both controlling technology and brainwashing people, Monika is a bit dangerous to be around despite her sweet, patient and helpful pseudo-facade. 

 

Argit (Ben 10), Argit is a greedy coward and borderline sociopath, perfectly willing to throw even his closest friends under the bus to save his own skin, make a profit or both. He had a brief stint as a local hero and politician after accidentally saving some kids, but that quickly fell apart despite his best efforts to genuinely improve when the allure of making illegal profit was too much for him. 

 

Beavis (Beavis and Butt-Head), an idiotic arsonist and a bit of a pervert, Beavis is a well-known follower, often Doing terrible things less out of Malicious intent and more just because he is too foolish and follow happy to fully argue against what he is being told to do. Originally was joined by his lifelong best friend Butt-Head, but the guy was shanked after about a day. Beavis seems unaware Butt-Head is dead, though hints imply this might be denial rather than his usual stupidity.  

 

Tomoko Kuroki (WataMote), a girl desperate for not just companionship, but to be absolutely beloved and popular. Unfortunately, Tomoko can also be obsessive, socially inept, awkward and somewhat spiteful, making this dream borderline impossible despite her best efforts. 

 

Dr. Neo Cortex (Crash Bandicoot), a brilliant and megalomaniac geneticist, Neo is held back by a spiteful obsession with those who have wronged and a somewhat depressed nature, so many failures really seem to take their toll on him. Though seemingly comical, whiny and a little pathetic, it's worth noting Cortex has no problems with murder or animal cruelty and would be perfectly willing to destroy anyone who gets in his way without a second thought. 

 

Arthur Fleck (Joker), a man taking on the Joker's legacy and name now that the original is long gone. Though Much more sympathetic and tragic than his namesake with a tendency to focus more on harming rich assholes, Fleck is ultimately by no means a good person and is violent, unstable, vengeance fueled and perfectly willing to go against even his most deeply held beliefs if he must "for the good of the many". 

 

Demona (Gargoyles), a Gargoyle woman with a seething hatred for humanity and a complete inability to truly process her own part in her misery. Demona is willing to do anything in her vendetta against humanity. While pretty much no one in Arkham likes Demona due to her inability to take responsibility and the fact she is for all intents and purposes a Bigot trying to commit genocide because of one group's actions centuries ago, She and Haley obviously get along the least. 

 

Victor Zsasz (DC Comics), reimagined here as the Shank, a Supervillain whose gimmick is centered around… well, shanking people behind bars. For obvious reasons, people tend to keep a wide berth if possible. 

 

Sticks the Badger (Sonic Boom), a deeply paranoid conspiracy nut. Though overall a pretty decent person, if somewhat wild, Sticks is somewhat violent and believes in conspiracies so out there that Flat Earthers

might give her a side eye.
