Nick
Nick is a character in the Random News, known for his love of shin-kicking people. He appears in most issues of the Random News and is based on a real-life person. Nick lives in Active Volcano Land, and has been featured in The Fat Adventure as well. He will appear as a trading card.
Nick is usually in cameo appearances in the series, with references in the news and also in the Fat Adventure. Usually ending up with him in the fat adventure is an automatic fail, and he is not different to Chuck Norris, as he always wins and is indefeatable. The Shin Kicking is usually the main attack Nick uses in the Fat Adventure, although it is not usually implied. Clearly he wins the shin-kicking competition of VIOLENCE!!!!!! He uses the phrase, "We ask questions no one else even DARES think about!!!!"
Tennis Man
Tennis Man is a character that has not yet been featured in the Random News.
He is due to appear later in the series and is on numerous trading cards of the series already. He is going to be a main character, and was though up of by Cameron and elrond501st.
The Character
Tennis Man is a tennis player, who thinks he is the greatest and acts over the top and egotastic. He is, however, very bad at playing tennis. Tennis Man is the son of a council of gods, and his destiny is to become a god and take over the rule of god of Sports. His mission in life is to become the greatest Tennis Player that ever lived, but, so far, to no avail. He is nice, deep down, but gets into a lot of trouble. In the Chrismas Special, coming out soon, he makes his Random News debut, and gets into trouble with Nick, Bob, Bobette, and Mrs Lovely.
The Inspiration
Cameron and elrond501st thought up of Tennis Man while playing tennis, and made up a theme song expressing his over-the-top personality and stupendous ego. Cameron decided to include him as a trading card and character in the random news sereis. He will appear in the 2009 Christmas Special.
The Information
Tennis Man is a half-human half-god. His father is the God of Sports on the Council of Entertainment Gods. He is a tall, skinny man with an over-the-top ego, although he is very nice. He usually gets into trouble and this will be shown in the 2009 Christmas Special. He enjys Tennis and doesn't realize he isn't good at it. He is, however, let into numerous Tennis tournaments because of his family background and life mission, both of which Tennis Man is unaware of. His partner in doubles matches in The Christmas Special is originally Mrs Loely, and later Janet Happiness, who is Mrs Lovely's rival and once took over her job.
Bob
Bob is one of the main characters of the Random News and is usually in The Fat Adventure Series. He is a very fat man who enjoys fast food. He is the bad-guy in all the fat adventure, and has many relatives(Bob's Relatives), all of whom have Bob somewhere in there name. He has featured in every Random News, and was the first character thought up of by Cameron, the writer.
In "The Fat Adventure"
Most of the stories in the Fat Adventure series start with "Bob is chasing you". Bob is the antagonist in all the Fat Adventures, except a few which are about his dad, Bobbbb. Bob is not always the character that brings the reader's demise in the story, as other characters, such as Nick, and Bob's Relatives, also appear as characters opposing the reader(who is the protagonist, since it is a choose-your own adventure). In 50% of the paths of the story(you get two choices each time), Bob, or another bad guy, usually Bobbbb, or Nick, is sucsessful. Bob never really dies in the story, although annihilation is sometimes mentioned. He seems to always come back, and will do so for the rest of the Fat Adventures.
Origin of the Character
Bob's first story was not in fact The Fat Adventure. Cameron wrote certain short stories about Bob but they are not relevant to The Fat Adventure. The Fat Adventure was originnally a planned movie, actually starring Mrs Lovely, but Cameron thought Bob's character was more relevant to the role and added him in, eventually including him in the comic he wrote later, "The Random News".
In "The Random News"
In "The Random News", Bob owns the dangerous, yet populous, Active Volcano Land, and it is run by the evil dictator Nick, who is another main character in the series. Bob also appeared in a few spoof movies and was part of the kidnapping of Mrs Lovely.
