Characters / Willy Randall

## In General

* **Blue Is Heroic:** The main two heroes wear blue and are cheerful and silly.
* **Nice, Mean And In-Between:** In *Tag Racing Champion*: Maylen (nice), Willy (mean), Moku (In-Between).
* **Women Are Wiser:** Generally, the female characters are nearly always at least relatively more normal, competent and serious thinking than the males by miles. Maylen **Depending on the Writer** is only sane by comparison, and she *is* very naive and airheaded at times, but even for her the default is that she is a genius compared to Willy, being able to ride every kind of vehicle.

Willy Randall is the main character and the hero of the Misericordia school and of the Willy Randall series. He is a 18 year old boy who attends at Misericordia School, on wich he plays and fight with his friends and enemies, his disctintive orange hair makes him unique in the school. Willy is good-natured and has a big heart, and loves help anyone who needs it.

* **All-Loving Hero:** Willy will help anyone in need, even some of his rivals occasionaly.
* **American Kirby Is Hardcore:** Willy was made "cooler" in the American release of the original games. For instance, in the original Argentine versions he is an all-around **Heroic Mime**, but in the American versions he constantly shouts when performing actions, wears sunglasses in the American cover and has a more solid personality.
* **Anime Hair:** Many people comment on his vibrant, spiky hairdo.
* **Aside Glance:** Is prone to deliver these, especially when confronting bosses.
* **Berserk Button:** Don´t mess with his school or friends, or else he will kick your butt, as Luis can atestigate...
* **Big Ol´Eyebrows:** He has these post-Misericordia titles. They are pointy and are the same color as his hair.
* **Blue is Heroic:** He wears a blue jacket, replaced by a blue hoodie in *Blinsanity* and *Tag Racing Champion*.
* **Brains and Brawn**: Acts as the Brawn to either Maylen and Moku's Brains, doing most of the physical work while they provide directions and utilities. He sometimes has the same dynamic with Luis during their **Enemy Mine** moments as well.
* **Brilliant, but Lazy**: While he can be rather active and moves a lot once the game starts, in the end, he tends not to have anything to do other than watching TV while drinking his favorite soda.
* **Butt-Monkey**: He often suffers numerous Amusing Injuries in his adventures, being killed in various funny ways.
* **Curtains Match the Windows:** He has orange hair and eyes. **Averted** in the Sierra games, where he was given brown eyes.
* **Dub-Name Change:** A minor one, but his original full name is "Walter", and was changed to "William" in the North-American version of the game.
* **Genius Ditz:** He can be rather slow to solve puzzles, but he is a commemored student of the Misericordia School.
* **Go-Karting with Bowser:** Willy has this going on with Doctor Luis Mamani from time to time.
* **Goofy-Print Underwear:** Has white boxers with yellow lightning bolts on them, the same ones that the Squary-Gun shoots.
* **Goomba Stomp:** His usual way of dealing with enemies.
* **Ground Pound:** One of his default abilities.
* **The Hero**: Of his school, and sometimes, more.
* **Happy Dance:** He performs a cartwheel when winning a level or race.
* **Heroic Mime:** The original game had no dialogue for him, but he was still implied to be able to talk. In the second and onwards, he occassionally talks when performing actions in-game. but never has a single dialogue in cutscenes.
* **Humble Goal:** To save his School.
* **Iconic Outfit:** His blue jacket/hoodie, green cargo shorts, and his red/gray All-Stars shoes.
* **Improbable Weapon User:** The Squary-Gun in the second game, obtained after defeating Dr. Dellaglio, is a red rubber gun that shoots yellow lightning bolts.
* **Iron Butt Monkey:** So much the developers put special treatment in animating every possible manner he can lose a life in the game and was all done in cartoony or funny/silly ways.
* **Jack-of-All-Stats:** In *Misericordia Racing*.
* **Large Ham:** While in cutscenes he remains a **Heroic Mime**, his in-game actions have him shouting things like "WOAH COOL!" and "AWESOME!", and "TAKE THAT!" when killing enemies.
* **Nice Guy:** It is a given.
* **Redhead In Green:** Has orange hair and wears green shorts.
* **Took a Level in Jerkass**: In *Tag Racing Champion*, Willy was much more of an apathetic **Troll**, committing violent pranks and destruction on various occupants of the park and shrugging off Van Cloudern's deactivation. This characterization is mostly exclusive to this one installment.
* **Walking Shirtless Scene:** In *The Remastered Games*, he wears his jacket with no shirt underneat.
* **Youthful Freckles:** He has freckles in most games **Depending on The Artist**.

## Maylen Bertone

Willy´s best friend and helper on occassion during the games.

* **Ace Pilot:** Has a number of space or aerial vehicles at her disposal in both *Misericordia* and *The Wrath of Mamani* and can fly them just fine.
* **Action Girl**: Oh yes...She has a physical (and playable) role in *Misericordia*, *Misericordia Racing*, *The Wrath of Mamani*, *Tag Racing Champion* and the *Remastered Games.*
* **Badass Adorable**: It's not seen as often as with Willy, but she can kick ass and is **The Cutie** to boot.
* **Bare Your Midriff**: Starting with *Willy Blinsanity*, her outfits often bare her stomach.
* **Blue is Heroic:** She wears the standard blue school attire.
* **Brains and Brawn**: The Brains to Willy's Brawn. Being an expert hacker and **Gadgeteer Genius**, she often provides technology and directions for Willy as he treks through each adventure.
* **The Cutie**: Especially in the original game.
* **Does Not Like Shoes:** She never wears shoes, just sandals, and in Misericordia Racing, she is barefoot. Averted in The Wrath of Mamani, however.
* **Early-Installment Character Design Difference:** Her design in the first Misericordia game shows her with two right feet since the original idea for her is that she was terrible at running and dancing, that being the reason for why she used vehicles often in her levels, but this was scrapped past the first game and she was given normal feet in the next games.
* **Good Counterpart**: A slight one to Franco Dellaglio due to their matching tech smarts and **Ditzy Genius** personalities.
* **Older Than They Look:** It's easy to mistake her original incarnation for a young child due to her appearance and rather immature and genki attitude, but she is actually supposed to be a teenager.
* **Two Left Feet:** See above.
* **Your Size May Vary:** She is sometimes shown as shorter than Willy or the same height as him.
* **Youthful Freckles:** Like Willy.

## Moku

A wooden mask that contains the spirit of a brave warrior.

* **Big Good:** He is the main **Foil** to **Scratch**.
* **Expressive Mask**: He is a mask after all.
* **Expy**: Of Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot
* **Platforming Pocket Pal:** He acts as this for most platforming games, following Willy (and sometimes others) around as he runs. **Justified** given that he's a talking, **Floating Mask**.
* **Single-Use Shield:** The main use of him in gameplay is to be this; i.e when you have him around, if you get hit, you'll survive and he'll disappear. You can collect 2 of him to upgrade him into 2-use shield.

## In General

* **Age Lift:** Seemingly. The game originally takes place during fourth year of *high* school, however, when the game was localized in the US, they changed them to be in fourth grade of *elementary* school, basically turning every character in the game from teenagers to younger kids. This was corrected in the next games, though.
* **Evil Organization:** They somewhat work as an organization or association of sorts.
* **Evil is Hammy:** Especially Luis and Franco, but the others also have their moments (though it mostly depends on the installment they are beign presented in or their current characterization).
* **Gonk:** They tend to be portrayed as not quite attractive. Especially **Robert**.
* **Mad Scientist:** Though not real scientists due to beign just teens, they are characterized as such and each of them especiallizes in a certain field.
* **Teens Are Monsters:** They´re all teenagers and tend to cause the most mayhem in every game.
* **The Kid With the Remote Control:** All of them tend to use remotes to operate their every task, beign it a robot, a machine, or anything else.

## Luis Mamani/Dr. Clark

> Voiced by: Luis Mamani (original game and recycled archive in Misericordia Racing), Clancy Brown (The Wrath of Mamani), Mark Brown (Blinsanity and Tag Racing Champion), Lax Lang (Sierra), Scott Sabanahaugh (Remastered Games)

The main nemesis to Willy Randall. An egotistical slob with no sympathy for anyone who takes over the school to ruin the Annual Misericordia School Festival. Willy must stop him.

* **Anime Hair:** His hair is usually shaped like a swirl or has very prominent curls, is is even shaped like a scythe in *Blinsanity*.
* **Arch-Enemy**: He is the main enemy of Willy Randall ever since they were toddlers.
* **Bad Boss:** He generally doesn't hesitate to scold or even *kill* his subordinates when they do mistakes.
* **Bald Of Evil: Subverted**. The back of his head on his character model was the same color as his skin in the original game, but this was due to a color error. Later games fixes this and he has a normal head of hair.
* **Big Bad:** He is typically the main villain of the series.
* **Brought to You by the Letter "S": Depending on The Artist,** his school coat shows his letter "L" on his chest.
* **Camp Straight:** He gets more and more campy as of the later games as a result of **Flanderization**, with some parts even having him saying rather suggestive lines.
* **Dark-Skinned Blond:** In the manga adaptation.
* **Depending on the Artist:** His school coat sometimes displays the letter "L" on its chest, sometimes not and simply has chords or a zipper like the other students. His shoes color also tend to change between games.
* **Ditzy Genius**: Increasingly became rather ineffective in spite of his scientific skills due to Flanderization over the course of the series, scaling back his competence to make room for slapstick humor
* **Dub-Name Change:** He was renamed to "Dr. Clark" in the original North-American release of the game.
* **Evil Sounds Deep**: Whether it's the **real-life Luis Mamani, Clancy Brown, Mark Brown** or **Lex Lang**, he has a pretty deep and imposing voice (the imposing part depends on the treatment of his character).
* **Heel-Face Revolving Door:** Every time he appears to be redeeming from his actions, he just quickly reverts to being a jerk.
* **The Napoleon:** He has a rather short stature and a rather short temper. **Nahuel Maas** loves to make fun of him for it.
* **Take Over the World:** His goal is to take over Misericordia School and rule it as an empire.
* **Vague Age:** He is supposed to be way older than Willy and the rest, but the manual from the first game mentions he and Willy being enemies since they were both babies, so it is unknown *how much* older he is than the other characters.

## Franco Dell´aglio

Luis´s right-hand man. He has an affition and obsession with giant lenses and magnifying glasses. He has cybernetic eyeglasses with a tiny cybernetic eye on the left side. Prone to unstability.

* **Adaptation Dye-Job:** He had dark maroon hair in the original game, but as of *The Wrath of Mamani*, his hair color changed to a lighter shade of brown. It was not until *The Remastered Games* that his hair will revert back to the original dark color.
* **Adaptational Ugliness:** He went from having a few bruises and smudges over him to having actual scars, acne and stringy spairse facial hair in the later games, while his outfit kept getting more and more ragged as well.
* **Amazing Technicolor Population:** Parts of his face are a dark shade of orange in *The Remastered Games*, possibly the result of more chemical accidents on his schemes.
* **Butt-Monkey**: Perhaps the most prominent after Luis, though granted he does kind of enjoy most of it.
* **Cloudcuckoolander**: **More and more so with each title** it seems. It's been suggested this is **a result of the cybernetic eye on his glasses**.
* **Computer Voice**: His voice has an electronic reverb to it, though he loses it in some of the post-Misericordia games. It is given back in *The Remastered Games.*
* **Cyborg:** He has cybernetics seemingly attached to his head and cybernetic glasses with a tiny electronic eye on them. The Remastered Games suggests that his arms, parts of his face and one of his legs are also mechanical replacements.
* **Doomy Dooms of Doom**: "Doom" appears to be one of Franco's top favorite words.
* **Eye Glasses:** Averted for most of his designs,though his glasses did change shape in the cutscenes of Misericordia, but played straight in *The Wrath of Mamani*.
* **The Dragon:** To Luis in the original game and in *The Wrath of Mamani*. He replaced Edgar as this to Luis. He seemingly betrays Luis in *Blinsanity* for the Big Boys´s treasure, along with Nahuel Maas.
* **Flanderization**: Franco had a pretty radical shift in character over the course of the series. In the original games, he was rather soft-spoken, quiet and unemotional, being very much **The Igor** to Luis. Later games made him more mentally unstable and prone to loud outbursts and made the Peter Lorre impression in his voice more obvious. It comes to a boiling point in the *Sierra* games where he became a massive **Cloudcuckoolander** with **No Indoor Voice** and a **Split Personality** who wants to eat Maylen for some reason. Though when you think about it, it's kinda justified due to his cybernetics on his body and its implied that his **electronic eye can make him see visions and speak to him**, thus all of this damaging his mental stability.
* **Foil:** To Edgar. Luis even once said that he preferred Edgar over him due to Edgar beign more talkative and fun-loving than him.
* **Four Eyes, Zero Soul**
* **Gadgeteer Genius:** Unlike Luis and Edgar, who are more into biology, and Maas, who's a physicist, Franco's into engineering, as one can deduct by his name.
* **Humongous Mecha:** He's rather fond of creating and piloting these... until his Sierra incarnation, anyway.
* **The Igor**: Taking the place of Edgar.
* **Iron Butt Monkey**: He is known to suffer from all matter of misfortunes (getting blown into outer space, having all of his lenses and crates of TNT blown over him, beign the assistant to Luis...) This is even more noticeable when one looks at how rough and full of stitches and scratches his skin and clothes are.
* **Mad Scientist**: His specialty is creating various types of magnifying lenses of all shapes and sizes.
* **No Celebrities Were Harmed**: The fact that his voice is a Peter Lorre impersonation becomes more obvious as the series goes on.
* **No Indoor Voice:** Franco is prone to *very* frequent fits of yelling in the Sierra Entertainment games.
* **Oh, No... Not Again!**: His line after you beat him in *Racing.*
* **Punny Name:** Of the Greek word *Fakós*, meaning "Glasses".
* **Red Eyes, Take Warning:** His glasses´s electronic eye is red in the Sierra games.
* **Sanity Slippage**: It is implied that his sanity declining more and more with each passing game is due to his cybernetic eye making him see visions and speaking to him more constantly with each game.
* **Solar-Powered Magnifying Glass:** He uses these in his boss race in *Misericordia Racing*. Outside of that, he usually uses and/or employs large lenses to do his every task.

## Nahuel Maas

> Voiced by: Nahuel Maas (original game and Blinsanity), Mark Cerny (Misericordia Racing), Hugho Matthews (The Wrath of Mamani), Carl Bartimore (The Remastered Games)
>
>

The self-proclaimed "Master of Assignatures". He is a very intelligent and shady individual who joins forces with Luis Mamani to help him with his scheme in order to rule over Misericordia School.

* **The Dragon:** Can be considered this to Luis along with Franco in the original game.
* **Dragon Their Feet:** Inverted in the original game, as he's fought much earlier than you'd expect him to be.
* **Dual Boss**: With Franco in *Blinsanity*, though Maas's the only one who can be attacked and they take turns.
* **Fascinating Eyebrow**: He has one in his first message in the original game.
* **Knight Of Cerebus:** Nahuel Maas certainly was the more competent and serious on the job out of the gang of bad guys from the original game and unlike them, he did not lose any seriousness and shadyness after the games stopped beign made by Misericordia.
* **Lean and Mean**: Easily the tallest and leaniest of the scientists, and arguably the meanest.
* **Not So Above It All**: He's established as a more favoured and composed associate of Scrathes than the deranged and abused Luis. However he is prone to even greater tantrums than Luis when his plans start to fail, and when Scratches chastises him along with the rest of the **Rogues Gallery** at the start of *The Wrath of Mamani* he looks just as meek and deflated as the others.
* **Only Sane Man:** In a cast of villains that has grown very, very dysfunctional, Maas has remained relatively sane and down-to-earth.
* **Secret Character**: In *Misericordia Racing*, he can only be unlocked by defeating him in his course.
* **Vile Villain, Saccharine Show:** Maas always stood out in the series as one of the more "serious" villains.

## Robert Castia

Voiced by: Roberto Castia (*Misericordia*), Mark Cerny (*Misericordia Racing*), Rob Rackstraw (*The Remastered Games*)

Robert Castia is Luis Mamanis strongest, heaviest and brutest of the gang. He prefers to crush his opponents rather than fighting from a platform or mech.

* **Adaptational Ugliness:** *The Remastered Games* gives him a more angular, bony face with a very prominent underbite and distorted eyes, and overall has a more "wild" look.
* **Anime Hair/Delinquent Hair:** Has a poofy pompadour that goes up and is almost as large as his head.
* **Big Eater:** The dude loves taking a snack constantly, as he is seen eating in almost all of the intros for his boss battles before getting ready to crush Willy.
* **Big Ol Eyebrows:** In the recess vortex cutscenes he has thick eyebrows but lacks them in his model proper.
* **Breaking The Bounds:** He shows up through a concrete wall in his *Misericordia 2* boss battle intro.
* **Dumb Muscle:** The heaviest and strongest of the bad guys and definitely not the brightest.
* **The Cameo:** Shows up in the intro of *The Wrath Of Mamani* but has no lines.
* **Cool Backpack:** Is never seen without carrying his green schoolbag **full of rocks**.
* **Fat and Proud:** This guy clearly loves his large gut.
* **Fat Bastard:** The craziest and wildest boss and also the largest.
* **Gonk:** His eyebags, underbite, yellowish teeth and large frame certainly does not do him any favors.
* **Ground Pound:** Of course this is his favorite move.
* **Mighty Glacier:** On Miseriucordia Racing, he is the heaviest character but also has one of the best top-speeds.
* **Your Size May Vary:** He is roughly two heads taller than Luis in the first two games, then he was just slighlty taller than Nahuel in *The Wrath of Mamani*, the same height as Luis in *Racing*, and now *three* heads taller than him in *The Remastered Games*.
