Since nothing's really happening and I have to leave in 3 hours and probably won't want to post on return, here's my three character ideas from two days ago:

Original idea: Duke Nukem


 * Rips from early 3D PC first-person shooters (this includes both DOS-styled games like Wolfenstein and actual 3D games like Postal, does not include Half-Life due to overlap with D.A.T. and does not include team shooters, the cutoff point for how late entries can be would probably be like 2005 since that's sort of getting into the sort of Garry's Mod era. Exeption is if they're part of a series that started in the right time or are in the exact same style such as Postal 2 [released in 2012] or Dusk [released in 2018] respectively)


 * Rips from any games in famous early FPS series (like Doom, Wolfenstein and of course Duke Nukem, this means they get entries that don't actually fit into the previous entry because they're part of the same series such as Wolfenstein: The New Order or Doom 2016)

don't know what else, maybe to beef up his sources he could be Duki Nuki, bringing Brazilian references (i.e. the exact same stuff from the Brazilian Independence Day event in 2016) and possibly Joel references -Grand Dad, although that'd be too overpowered, I feel like he should just be Duki Nuki, but should otherwise remain the same personality-wise like in John St. John's in-character cameo in Joel's Best of 2017 video i linked to earlier in this thread. Originally I picked him because a lot of the other early FPS characters like Doomguy and B.J. Blaskowicz don't really have much personality-wise and I am not including Postal Guy as a character, he's too controversial, even today.

Parody pick: Scourge Sisters


 * Rips from all non-Toby Fox Homestuck tracks, save for those related to them personally


 * Rips related to spiders or arachnids (minus Spider-Man due to Thanos being here)


 * Rips related to dragons


 * Rips related to law enforcement (bringing back Ace Attorney and Terezi being a sort of stand-in for Phoenix in general having the some court-related rips, and also adding in police-related rips, why? While Vriska wasn't in it, Trollcops )

Yes, I know it's a bit airheaded to nominate a character from my own parody, but I feel that they have enough variedness in their sources to do well here and I've been wanting to for a while. Also I know not everyone here has a good opinion on Homestuck, not pointing fingers here, but yeah. The rest of their source list more than makes up for the Homestuck, giving them a non-Homestuck reason to like them since they have stuff like Skyrim, Ace Attorney, and stuff related to police and spider sources. The only thing they lost was 8 which was given to Jaelmo instead.

Joke character idea: Ernie the Giant Chicken


 * Rips related to non-Simpsons FOX cartoons (Family Guy and it's spinoffs, Bob's Burgers, Futurama)


 * Rips related to chickens (The Chicken Dance, Do the Funky Chicken, Chicken Fried by the Zac Brown Band, KFC-related rips, music from Robot Chicken)


 * Rips of music by Buckethead (not only does he often wear a KFC bucket, he also once made a song called Robotic Chicken)

I thought of him as a joke, then realized with sources like that, he'd actually make a decent contestant and a rather unconvientionial Family Guy Funny Moments representative vs. something like Peter Griffin or Stewie. I was also going to give him fast food-related rips since I remembered them form wayyyyy back as a suggestion dating back to the Frosted Freaks' era, so that's still on the table as a source for him.
