Name: Jinikato
Based On: Ethan Poschman
Identifying Quote: "Don't get me started."
Rank: Right-hand man
Title: God of Fandom
Note: He wears a dangerous grin, but that's the only thing to fear about him. Jinikato's a sadist, yes, but a benevolent sort, who would never cause harm to any of his friends-- he just likes to leave them with an unsettled feeling in their stomachs. He's a bit of a prankster, a bit of a heckler, and a whole lot of fanboy. He's always writing fanfiction, making kitbashes, buying merchandise, etc. ad infinitum. If you engage him in conversation about one of his fan subjects, you'll be unable to get rid of him. Oddly, Zania seems immune to this sort of blathering... which is lucky for her, considering the immense mutual love Jinikato has for her.
Advantages: Jinikato always carries a Japanese fan with him, the kind geisha girls dance with, which he uses to change his fan affiliation, simply by chanting "Jinikato reconfigure-- ________!". Clouds gather, lightning flashes, and Jinikato's left breast pocket becomes the insignia of his affiliation. While in a particular fandom, Jinikato becomes a jack-of-all-trades-- he can summon any tool, utilize any attack, or drive any vehicle, if they're used in the subject. For example, if he was in MiSTie mode, Jinikato could summon the Nanites, throw Snaction(tm) Ninja Throwing Cookies, or pilot Pearl Forrester's space-bus. Aside from that, he can also use the exhaust pipes on his back as a jetpack, by simply rotating them.
Disadvantages: You have to catch Jinikato early when he starts talking about some fan subject, or you won't be able to get him to stop and you'll have to listen to synopses of every episode of DS-9 or something. He often seems detached and unconcerned with the rest of the group, not being real familiar with any of them but Speldor. As a result, he doesn't jump to rescues or help his teammates when they're in a jam, unless it's a life-or-death deal.
Appearance:Jinikato's about the same size as Speldor, but his costume changes according to his fandom mode at the time. Normally, he wears a red, green, or blue jumpsuit, a shirt with Native American patterns, grey boots and gloves, and a rubber fanbelt. (That's right... the engine component.) His hair is blonde, and pulled back in a ponytail longer than Giblet's. He has thick black eyebrows.
