Characters / Cel Damage

A list of tropes for the cast of Cel Damage.

Starting roster

Violet

Voiced By: Thessaly Lerner

A teen anime demon girl hailing from Asia with a love for military hardware, fast living and over-the-top mischief. Driving an armored car, she's filled with attitude and delivers on it. Her signature weapons are a mortar and skull balls.

• Animesque: Has this design due to coming from an anime from Japan.
• Badass Adorable: Fits this trope to a T. She looks so adorable on the outside, and yet she's one of the most aggressive drivers on the show. In fact, her intro even has her beating up the cameraman before running him over with her car.
• BFG: Her mortar.
• Meaningful Name: Has violet hair and wears violet clothes. It's also one letter off from "violent", which is pretty much what she is.
• Perky Goth: That is unless she kicks your ass on sight.

B.T. Bruno

Voiced By: Bruce Robertson

A former construction worker with a heart of gold and a love for Elvis Presley. Befitting his former profession, he drives a bulldozer and uses hammers of various sizes as his main weapons.

---

• And Call Him "George": Unintentionally does this to the third child in his ending.
• Does Not Know His Own Strength: His ending (which shows him appear in an ad for older step-brothers) has him accidentally subject the younger children to all sorts of abuses due to him underestimating his own strength. It's all Played for Laughs, though.
• Eagleland: Looks like a Type 2 (overweight and boisterous), but is in fact a mixed type (generally a nice person to be around in spite of his flaws).
  • Everything Is Big in Texas
• Expy: Of Elvis Presley. In his intro, he even states that he wants to be an entertainer just like him.
• Fat Bastard: Subverted; he's actually a Nice Guy (albeit one who Does Not Know His Own Strength).
• Mighty Glacier: His truck has high defense, but low speed.
• Nice Guy: Though it only shows up in the manual and his ending, when off the track he's actually a rather nice fellow. Just don't let him hug you...
• Stout Strength: Despite his obesity, he's shown to be strong enough to send objects like an American Football and an unfortunate boy flying without even trying, as well as unintentionally breaking another child's bones with a hug.

Sinder

Voiced By: Andrew Chaikin

A demented imp who was so chaotic, the other denizens of Hell kicked him out due to his instability. He eventually landed himself a role on Cel Damage due to his affinity for carnage. He drives a six-wheeled ATV and uses a woodchipper as his signature weapon as well as being able to throw fireballs at other people.

• Blood Knight: Clearly enjoys blowing people up on the show.
• Cloudcuckoolander: Par excellence.
• Cordon Bleugh Chef: As shown in his ending which has him take part on a cooking show, he can't even cook proper meals to save his life.
• Mascot: Seems to be this for the game.
• Our Demons Are Different: Apparently, some of them have issues like this guy...
• Playing with Fire: As a demon from Hell, he obviously has this as an ability, namely in the form of throwing fireballs at his opponents as well as breathing fire as shown in his intro and ending.
• Toilet Humor: Nearly anything that comes out of his mouth is pretty much this. He's also shown in the intro to not be house-trained, as evidenced by the yellow piss puddle near him.
• Too Kinky to Torture: Some of his quotes paint him in this light.
  Sinder: I could use a good smack on the head!
• Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: How bad is he? Even Satan himself couldn't take his crap anymore, and threw him out.
• Weapons That Suck: His woodchipper weapon, which is like the vacuum, only it shreds other vehicles and deals damage instead of removing items/stealing flags.
• Wood Chipper of Doom: His main weapon.

Dominique Trix

Voiced By: Linda Cassidy

A French-accented dominatrix who revels in dominating her opponents on the show, seeing it as stress relief. She drives a fancy Cadillac and uses a dynamite-tipped crossbow and spiked balls as her weapons.

• Automatic Crossbows: Her signature weapon is a crossbow that fires arrows with dynamite tied to them that explode after a while.
• Dominatrix: Come on! It's in her freaking name!
• Expy: Seems to be one to Trish from the Devil May Cry series. Coincidentally, both games came out in 2001.
• Family-Friendly Stripper: Played for Laughs in her ending, where she starts a kid's show called Trix's Treehouse.
• Ms. Fanservice: A dominatrix who wears a skimpy outfit, has a nice figure and makes all sorts of flirtatious remarks.
• Punk in the Trunk: If her car's trunk is broken open, you can see a tied-up body inside.
• Punny Name: Dominique Trix = Dominatrix.
• Statuesque Stunner: A very attractive woman who dwarfs most of the other cast in the game.
• Whip of Dominance: As her Punny Name implies, she is a Dominatrix who is shown holding a whip in her character select art, and selecting her causes a whipcrack sound to play. However, she doesn't use it in gameplay since it's a Vehicular Combat game.

Fowl Mouth

Voiced By: Charles Martinet

A hard-boiled gangster duck hailing from a 1930's-era gangster movie where cartoons were in black and white. Cocky and brash, he drives a monochrome convertible and uses a tommy gun and bricks as his weapons.

• An Offer You Can't Refuse: His intro has him sneak into the Cel Damage lot, break into the producer's trailer and pull this off on him in exchange for being made a star of the show. Of course, it didn't quite occur to him that he already was one...
  Producer: Ugh, actors...
• Deliberately Monochrome: Both he and his car are in black and white due to them coming from the 1930's. It even pops up in one of his quotes.
  Fowl Mouth: Black and white this!
• Feathered Fiend: A mobster duck with a penchant for whacking people who tick him off.
• Foul Waterfowl: Come on, it's in his name!
• Meaningful Name: A foul fowl with a foul mouth.
• More Dakka: His signature tommy gun. Unlike the gatling gun, which locks onto the nearest opponent, his fires in a spread shot.
• Shame If Something Happened: Says this in one of his quotes:
  Fowl Mouth: It'd be a shame if something were to happen to your car.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Befitting his name, dude has quite a potty mouth (albeit censored).

Flemming

Voiced By: Charles Martinet

A rather awkward nerd who excels at creating vehicles, weapons and other contraptions. Unlike the other competitors, Flemming drives a hovercraft as opposed to a regular car and uses laser cannons and shuriken as his weapons.

• Badass Bookworm: Though he's a right nerd in more ways than one, he's still capable of holding his own against the other competitors.
• Butt-Monkey: To say the least, the world doesn't really treat him very well. In Fowl Mouth's ending for instance, when digging a hole for him he gets blasted with water from a burst water pipe, electrocuted from an electric line and blown away by a gas leak.
• The Dog Bites Back: His ending has him form a talk show called Simply Bruce, which is little more than a vehicle for him to get back at his old tormentors.
• Energy Weapon: His signature weapon has him fire lasers that bounce off of anything they hit.
• Gadgeteer Genius: As mentioned above and below, he made his own vehicle and weapons himself.
• Momma's Boy: Uh-huh.
• Opaque Nerd Glasses: Wears quite a pair.
• Otaku: Seems to be this, if him using shuriken as his throwing weapon is any indication.
• The Smart Guy: Of the roster. The fact that he made his own vehicle and weapons certainly makes him this.

Guest stars

Tropes for the characters as a whole:

• Back for the Finale: All four of them show up as AI opponents in the Overdrive-exclusive level "Boss Bash", which mashes all of their worlds up into one level.
• Secret Character: They can all be unlocked by clearing all their respective levels in every mode^note for instance, beating all the desert stages in every mode will unlock Whack Angus.

Whack Angus

Voiced By: JS Gilbert

A red, anthropomorphic bull who drives a barn-esque tractor and packs a seething hatred of meat eaters, he serves as the guest star of the desert stages.

• Berserk Button: Utterly hates meat eaters, to the point that he wishes that they get heart disease from eating his mother and crying out "Long live vegetarianism!" as one of his quotes.
• Dung Fu: His throwing weapon has him lob cowpats at his foes, complete with fart sounds. Yep.
• Mighty Glacier: His vehicle is very sturdy and heavy, but isn't particularly fast.
• Sir Swears-a-Lot: Not as much as Fowl Mouth, but it's there.
• Testosterone Poisoning: All about that manliness, taken to the extreme!
• Throwing Your Sword Always Works: His cleavers.

T. Wrecks

Voiced By: Andrew Chaikin

A vain, self-absorbed Tyrannosaurus Rex in a tacky red suit who drives a monster truck, he serves as the guest star of the jungle area.

• Bad with the Bone: Uses a bunch of bones as his throwing weapon.
• Expy: Is one to Godzilla, as revealed on the Cel Damage HD website and him saying "I did that to Tokyo once."
• Incredible Shrinking Man: His shrink ray can induce this effect on his rivals, leaving them unable to use their weapons or turbo boosts until it wears off.
• It's All About Me: Dude only thinks of himself and nothing else.
• Jerkass: And how!
• The Prima Donna: Believes himself to be the star of the show and prone to making unreasonable demands when things go south for him.
• Smug Snake: Always thinks highly of himself and loses his shit when things don't go his way.

Count Earl

Voiced By: Joe Paulino

A vampire with a vampire-themed sports car as his signature ride, he acts as the guest star of the Transylvania stages.

• BFG: His personal weapon is a large heat-seeking missile that tracks down the nearest target, although using it is pretty hard (not to mention exploding instantly if you throw a weapon at it).
• Brilliant, but Lazy: Seems to be this, if some of his quotes are any indication.
  Count Earl: Oh great, now I have to speed up!
  Count Earl: Now I have to work even harder!
  Count Earl: For this, I left my nice warm coffin?!
• Card-Carrying Villain: One of his quotes even describes him as such.
  Count Earl: What did you expect? I'm evil!
• Deadpan Snarker: Pun aside, he occasionally has his moments.
• Fragile Speedster: Has the highest top speed of any character, but the lowest health to compensate.
• Our Vampires Are Different: For one thing, he doesn't seem too bothered by sunlight when used in the daytime stages.

Brian the Brain

Voiced By: Charles Martinet

An alien brain in a jar who drives a futuristic tank as his personal vehicle, he serves as the guest star of the space levels.

• Action Bomb: His personal weapon is a nuclear mine that when placed will explode after a while, dealing considerable damage to anyone who gets too near.
• Brain in a Jar: Obviously. And with fish inexplicably swimming around inside.
• Machine Monotone: How he usually speaks.
• Was Once a Man: Probably, since he still has his spinal cord attached to him.
