Roger

**Roger** is a character in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* who is a pilot and has a similar appearance and outside nature to Gerald, but in reality he is much more malicious and evil then him with his plots to try and secretly take over the world.

## Appearance

Roger is a humanoid salamander with many similarities to the aforementioned Gerald, but with a handful of differences between the two. He is much darker shade of pink all over and has a more curly, long tail compared to Gerald’s thin salamander tail and has eyes with small pupils within red irises. Unlike Gerald, he actually has a full head of dark brown hair and brown eyebrows with his hair being long and going along the back of his head. He always seems to look a bit tired with bags under his eyes, and also wears goggles like Gerald but they are more jagged in shape and black and blue in colour instead of his which are green and brown. He wears a dark green jacket with dark yellow gloves on his hands, with his jacket having white buttons, pockets and also donning a dark purple star badge as well as a pale purple flag on the other side. He also wears torn dark purple jeans and large black boots with some smudges and large white laces on them.

## Background

Nothing is really known about Roger's history at all or why he is so similar to Gerald, but it would appear that he has been around serving as a pilot in Yoshi Resort for a while as he is skilled at controlling his own specialised plane and has gained the trust of most people within the service. However, he has also seemingly been committing his evil acts for a while now and finds pleasure in it as a side hobby; it's not known why he enjoys being evil so much but he just continues to do it anyway. He has also previously tried out plans of his to take over the world but none of them have ever really succeeded well for him. One of these plans had occured when he first met Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. at the Yoshi Resort airport, as they had to return to their home The City of Nexus after having tried to visit Doctor M. and Katie who were getting married back there. He decided to be nice to them and let them aboard this plane as they were looking for a faster way back to the city, and the three of them had agreed to board his plane. Upon sitting down, Officer M. and DaPhantom immediately noted his similarities to Gerald but Officer M. stopped caring after he had been given some free snacks by Roger and fell asleep, as did Turtle Man. With DaPhantom still awake, he decided to talk to Roger and learn some more things about him, with Roger remaining cryptic on most details but telling him that he had heard of a powerful amulet in the City of Nexus and that he had been hired there to perform a service at a wedding, where he would fly over the church in his plane and throw out some flowers and balloons to celebrate it. Figuring that the wedding in question was Doctor M. and Katie's, DaPhantom remained suspicious of Roger's presence even after the three of them arrived after a long trip and departed the plane the next day.

A few hours after this, Roger had snuck into the church where the wedding was occuring in a cloak and stole the Amulet of Souls he had heard of, which Turtle Man dropped out of his shell without realising when he was looking for a sowing machine. Using the Amulet, Roger crashed the wedding after performing the plane service but then parachuting out of it afterwards. Using it, he stole the souls of most other people present and blasted the main three heroes away after they tried to attack him. He was ready to take their souls too, until Gerald walked in after not having been seen for a while and started a fight with him. Roger tried to escape the scene on his plane but ended up being chased by Gerald, Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. who managed to tackle him to the ground and retrieve the Amulet of Souls, leaving him squashed like a pancake. Despite this though, Roger did manage to escape when nobody was watching, meaning he is still out there and likely plotting some sort of revenge against them. He returned to try and exact his revenge a few weeks later by flying a plane filled with some explosives over the City, hoping to drop them over the trio’s houses and blow them up to retrieve the Amulet of Souls as it would be sent flying by it. However they managed to foil this plan by sneaking onto his plane and activating some of the explosives that they didn’t destroy with their newly repaired weapons, leaving the plane before they went off and sent Roger flying away into the ocean.

He showed up again some time later to fly over Nexus and release swarms of mistbugs down onto it which caused chaos everywhere and shut everybody inside of their homes, until the trio and Ellie managed to take him down using their karate skills. Turtle Man and Roger fell out of one of the plane’s windows and into Officer M’s house, where Turtle Man held down him but let him go after he said he was really sorry for what he did and thus Roger was able to get away again.

## Personality and Relationships

Roger may appear to be a charming, kind and professional pilot who does many nice things such as offering his passengers free access to entertainment, food and drink that they may want, which makes him give off a good impression to any of those who see him. However, all of this charity is nothing more then an act to mask his true intentions: he is in reality a very evil person who only strives to do terrible acts that being about misfortune to others. He is known to make friends with people and gain their trust only to quickly break it, thus leaving feeling betrayed and bad. Other people feeling bad seems to bring joy to Roger, which is why he continuously wishes to commit these misdeeds in order to harm others and full his own happiness. Though he tries to be pretty secret about this side of him, as to not allow the truth of him to be revealed to everyone else.

Roger has also wished to take over the world, sometimes scheming plans to try and do this that often don't lead anywhere since he either doesn't follow through with it or it fails for him. He has no known friends or family members yet doesn't seem to care about being lonely whatsoever, for he never attempts to remain friends with anybody or find any fellow villains to collaborate with. He also is a bit lazy sometimes since he can't be bothered to do certain things or just finds himself unable to sum up any motivation for them.

## Abilities

Though Roger might look like an average pilot just like Gerald, in reality he has surprisingly good physical strength as he is able to fight well in close hand combat against his enemies. In addition to this, he also has surprisingly agility but is known to tire himself out pretty quickly if he jumps and moves about too quickly. Furthermore, he also is pretty intelligent compared to some of the other villains; this could be seen through his elaborate schemes such as sneakily taking the Amulet of Souls from within the wedding halls in Nexus before performing his flight routine for it, as to crash the wedding and try using it to take over the world.

Just like Gerald, he is also very skilled at piloting his own plane with him being able to make sharp and fast turns in the air, whether this be for attacks or to avoid others' attacks. The plane has some hidden weapons attached to it like bombs he keeps inside and guns which can be activated for airborne attacks.
