Professor Theo

Professor Theo, or often known as the Prof. is a character from Mischief Makers. He is a renowned researcher who studies various planets to learn of inhabitants, culture, and climate alongside Marina Liteyears, his creation and assistant. He serves a major role in the game where he is the target of the Evil Empire lead by his brother, Emperor Leo where he is constantly captured and had to be saved by Marina.
==Biography==
Professor Theo and Marina Liteyears arrive at Planet Clancer from their space shuttle, where Marina scouts the area, but forbids him for joining her. The opening cutscene shows him sitting alone, complaining of boredom and not having much to do. Just then, he hears laughing and wonders if it's visitors, but to his surprise they turned out to be a mischievous horde of Clancers who invade the home and kidnap him during the chaos. One of their military leaders explains to him that they must take him to the emperor as ordered. Marina soon sees them escaping with the Prof in tow, and pursues them and meets some peace loving Clancers who offer to help her out.
Theo was seen again in the Migen's Shrine boss level, being interrogated by the Migens before Marina arrives. Migen had his son Migen Jr. eat him before turning their full attention to Marina. Marina turns Migen Jr.'s punches against his father before he goes down to prevent him from healing his son. Marina then defeats Migen Jr. freeing Professor Theo in the process. Marina's involvement grabs the attention of the emperor himself, who calls on the The Beastector to bring them to him alive. Lunar is the first to volunteer, but he seems more bent on killing them rather than doing what he was supposed to do. He kidnaps Theo without Marina knowing and leaves a decoy with a note attached to it, letting her know that he did it, prompting Marina to come after them. 
Theo was added as a prize of the annual Athletic Festival consisting of two teams, the White Team and the Red Team, and Marina joins the White Team since they were weak, and she would help them give them a boost. While Marina was partaking in the events and the White Team wins, Lunar swipes Theo away and after the final announcements are made, Cat Clancer lets them know what happened and challenges Marina to a Dodge Ball game, and she offers Marina her assistance in fighting Lunar if she beats Cat Clancer. After Marina wins the game, Cat Clancer joins Marina in the battle against Lunar and they managed to defeat him and save Theo once again.
Marina and Theo have brought back missiles, with Theo confident that he will never be kidnapped again since he has something to defend himself. Marina then gets a phone call and heads to the other room to answer it. Calina (disguised as Marina) enters the house and asks Theo to play with her. Theo notices something off about her, as he knew Marina to be more mature, serious, and level-headed. He dismisses his suspicions and leaves with Calina, mistaking her for Marina and completely unaware that she works for the Evil Empire. Marina returns to find the Prof. gone and saw what was going on out the window and Marina gives chase to Aster's Cavern. He is given to Tarus, who wishes to avenge Lunar's defeat, and uses him as bait to defeat Marina himself, but he too was defeated.
Marina sits closer to the door, desperate to keep Theo safe, but she sees Clancers in the roof, prompting her to fend them off. Theo is now familiarized with these events; if he is alone, trouble is never far away. The military leader comes in and Theo ends up accepting his fate as he is taken away. Marina returns and learns what happened and sits in the spot in frustration as she sets course for the Imperial HQ. After Merco is defeated, Theo finds himself meeting The Emperor who briefly talk before the latter reveals himself as Leo, Theo's brother. Theo is shocked that his own brother had been behind all the events and chastises him for all the suffering he had caused. Leo's goal was to gain as much power as he could to destroy the cruel universe, before returning to the Monolith. 
Lunar, Tarus, and Merco have been revived from their injuries and are scolded for disobeying his orders, but they make it clear that they realized that they were fighting on the wrong side the whole time and no longer want to fight alongside him. Marina appears and states that they must settle this once and for all. After a battle with Marina shaking the negative words into positive words, she bests Leo. Leo was reduced into a pathetic sobbing wreak as he revealed that he had loved yet envied his brother and thought they shared the same goal and his dream was to be defeated by Theo, but was in disbelief that it was Marina who defeated him. Also consumed with rage, he attempted to one-shot Marina in the same way he did after she saved the 7 Clancer Children, but Theo pushes her away and takes the blow for her. He was injured and seemed to be near death as Marina began to mourn for him, but he surprises her by getting up and admits that he lied to her about his impending "death". Marina throws Theo into space, before taking on a giant robot consisting of the vehicles that Lunar, Tarus, and Merco used in their second battle against her and emerges victorious.
Marina and Theo return to the village where they were given praise for their efforts and King Astor returns home as well. He thanks Teran for protecting his daughter, Celes who is actually Ondine, who reunites with him. They later had a coordination ceremony where Celes becomes their Queen and later promotes Teran as her full-time bodyguard. Marina and Theo take their leave of the planet and moved on to continue their work. The deceased Geold on the cloud, after turning Lunar, Tarus, and Merco into humans, visits Marina and asks her if she wanted to be a full human, who she accepts. He accidentally turns her into a panda bear, much to her embarrassment and returns to her original form. Geold tries again and gets it right. Marina's human form varies depending on the age the player gives her upon creating a new file, she will either be a young girl if 00-15 or a grown woman if 16-99; Theo is amazed and gushes about her new appearance.
