Well, since I've been posting so much CK fanart I should probably give some sort of explanation for those of you who haven't heard of it... it's a computer game series from the early 90s - fairly standard 2D sidescroller gameplay-wise, but I like the characters and story. ^_^

The characters, from left to right:

Billy Blaze, aka Commander Keen - eight-year-old genius and two times saviour of Earth.

Jax - he's an original character of mine, for a fanfic which may or may not get written. (Not an original species, though - he's a Vorticon; they're the main enemies in the first trilogy of games.) According to my elaborated version of the game storyline, he met up with Keen at some point during Episode 3, set on the Vorticon home world. He's a year or two younger than Keen.

Princess Lindsey - she appears in Episode 4 and gives Keen hints. Occasionally. She only gets two appearances in the whole game, and one of them is in a secret area... she deserves more screentime, IMO.

Spot - Billy's pet yorp, found on Mars in Episode 1. Unfortunately gets left at home while Keen is off saving the galaxy, but at least he gets some appearances in the story screens...

Mortimer McMire, aka the Grand Intellect - once Billy's schoolyard tormentor, now his deadly archrival. Currently plotting to blow up the Universe.
