 Squash Wars Protagonist & Antagonist

Squash - Protagonist

Holiday:

            Squash has always been very fond of Halloween. He likes to get dressed up and pretend he’s someone else. His village is always one of the first to get into the spirit, so the entire month of October is full of scary stories, eerie sights, and just an overall departure from everyday society. He enjoys the night of Halloween because of all the crazy costumes and decorations. He likes to run around town with his friends and feel as if the world were so far away. He loves to explore the village during cold fall nights. He feels a sense of excitement when confronted by scary places such as the Dark Wood In the west end of Squash Village. He always carries along his trusty rock just incase he runs into an enemy. He wants to explore outside of his village badly, but because of the rising political tensions, borders have been heavily fortified. It’s during Halloween one year that Squash eventually builds up the courage to go on his first quest at the age of 15, bringing only his rock and food. He made the 5 mile journey through the Dark Wood and onto the mysterious shore, a small piece of land behind the Dark Wood only accessible either by ship or traveling through the wood. It is only 1 mile long by 1/2 a mile wide. The Squash Village has a spooky feel during this time of year. People put candles in the windows and hang paper lanterns from the trees. Strips of paper are hung in the wind to represent their fallen ancestors.

Day of the Week:

            His favorite day is Friday. He likes to spend the day in contemplation. He thinks of the week that has gone by, and he thinks of the weekend to come. He likes to wake up really early and listen to music for hours and hours before the day begins. He leaves the house ahead of schedule and gets breakfast from down the street. He always gets a carry out of mashed potatoes for lunch that day at school. His mind wanders all day while waiting for school to get out. He thinks of all the wonders in the world and how it relates back to him. Once leaving school he normally stops home and gets a bite to eat, blasts music while dancing and singing, puts on something nice, and heads downtown.

Color:

            He would be the color purple if he had a choice. He feels the color purple represents him the best because of its bright and cheerful insides yet dark and mysterious outsides. Purple can be used to represent a variety of things. During medieval times the color purple was so hard to produce that only kings would wear it. The color became a symbol of power and generosity. In modern times the color has been used to describe the night, the paranormal, or the generally mysterious aspects of life. Purple is a strong color, it represents masculinity and femininity, it is a color that does not discriminate. It is a good color for the Squash to relate back to during times of trouble.

Apple King -  Antagonist

Holiday:

            His favorite holiday is St. Patrick’s Day. He gets very excited when the time finally comes and he gets all decked out in green. His emerald rings flash in the sunlight. His glimmering forest green tunic sways in the wind while his lime green boots click on the marble floors of his castle. He puts on his stovetop hat with a buckle wrapped around the bottom. His green tights cling to his agile legs as he prances about the castle asking all the maids how he looks and how their day is going. His advisors all arrange a special leprechaun hunt for the King once noon hits. He sits down, has some green beer and corned beef with baked potatoes and sour cream. His hunt nearly always lasts until sun down. He can't control himself at the thought of finding the elusive leprechaun and his magical pot of gold. He will follow the rainbow to the ends of the Earth and often his advisors must chase him down and convince him to resume his duties as King.

                                            

Day of the Week:

            Apple King would be a Monday. He likes the weekend, but come Monday he’s always glad to be back at work. He rises early and immediately checks and double checks his calendar. He writes new dates and jots notes for himself for later on in the week. He always makes himself a cappuccino and sometimes just can't contain himself. He runs around the castle singing at the top of his lungs and waltz-walks through the finely lit corridors of his ancient estate. He makes his way towards the hall of the ancestors, past all the kings and great men who are represented through relics, portraits, and statues. He pays his respects by lighting the sacred incense and smoking cannabis to get closer to the spiritual realm. He sits here and meditates for 1 hour while listening to Queen. The rest of his day is determined by his advisors and he really doesn’t appreciate it, but he has a great amount of respect for the system so he follows orders and leaves his personal life for the night. Come 10pm the King is relieved of his duties and is advised to stay in and get some much earned sleep, but he always gets restless and has been known to sneak out through the window, past the guards, and over the wall, only to return hours later glowing red faced and panting.

Color:

            He would be the color pink. He likes to think of himself as very cute and cuddly. He thinks that pink really suites him, since his natural color is already red. Pink can be considered a violent color since its just hiding behind white. This fits his personality well, since he is very outgoing, frantic even, and does have a tendency to loose his temper. He will suddenly throw kicks and punches into the air, shoot energy beams into the distance, and even throw terrible insults towards his advisors, which he later apologizes for. He sees pink as a very romantic color, but he is so preoccupied with how people see him, that he fails to see how he is acting towards them. He is scaring people. Nobody thinks that he’s cute besides him and his mom and maybe the old tomato at the bar. Pink represents him because it’s a color that tries a little too hard. It’s a color with a bright outside, but a dark and brooding inside.
