The Postman
Lonely Days Are Gone, I'm A-Going Home
About Me: Male call, ladies! Sorry, that's just a little postman humour. It's lost on most people, though, since I'm not just the only postman in Termina...I'm the only postman in any timeline throughout all of history. Needless to say I'm a busy guy, and I haven't really had time to make friends. Every night I head down to the Milk Bar and sit next to my buddy Norm, and while the other patrons do talk to me I get the feeling they think of me as a know-it-all. You and I would get along, though...I'm a first-class guy, and even though my heart is stamped "fragile," my love is vast and enveloping. If you aren't already sick of these mailman jokes, then, by all means, keep reading.
Location: Clock Town
Ethnicity: Terminian
Hair: Stamped down
Eyes: Sealed
Occupation: Speedy Delivery!
I would like to meet: I'm looking for a woman who doesn't mind my hectic work schedule of walking around a town of about seven people twice per day. You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize I have a pretty sweet job.
I like to play the following sports: To be honest, I don't do much physical activity outside of work. Unless of course you count all the times I've had to chase down those bratty Bombers for stealing the L from the "Clock Town" sign.
My exercise regime consists of: Always ringing twice, dodging questions from jilted lovers, eventually evolving into a bird
My favourite music: The Paranoids, Sick Dick and the Volkswagens, that band that Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello formed
My favourite movies: 28 Dawns of the Last Day Later, The Running Man, Il Postino, 10
My favourite TV shows: Get a Life, The Amazing Race, The Amazing Dancing Postbox, Doomsday Preppers, Mr. Rogers' Bunnyhood
My dream is to: Deliver the letter. The sooner the better.
On a first date I'd like to: It's probably not worth thinking about, since I don't get any time off without the express written permission of Mayor Dotour, and that would never happen. I'm not disappointed, though. It's like our creed says: Neither snow nor rain nor heat death of the universe...

French-Japanese? SOLD! My <3 for Jill!
Care to share, @Shiryu?
Well... I guess Jill because she's the only female on this list...Although, I am a big fan of the postman...
With so many redesigns sonic you're just not the same hedgehog I fell in love with, which is why I took my mother's advice and left you for the plumber across the street.
Guess I will be by myself since Jill hates zombies, I will die alone with my undead minions!
A very funny read there. Some good choices were made, though the lack of females is odd...
Looks like it's going to have to be Jill as default choice for myself. The one thing you can be sure of for her is a lot of guys will be chasing her.
No Palutena? Aw...
Chrom was hilarious though.
"There's Always Monkey in the Banana Stand"
Hahahaha... Nice AD reference!
Too much information?
I was going to edit it now, guess I wont have to. ta ta
Jill Valentine <3
Dr. Light's line tag is in binary. Converted to ASCII characters the string says "be mine". In case you missed it / aren't computer savvy / can't look it up / are just lazy.
King of red Lions was hilarious Good read!
Some of these were good, put there was too much spiteful humor for my taste.
Dr. Light had me laughing like a mad man XD
The article is good and humorous, but I want this day to be over already.
Chrom
Eyes: Discounted if you download both as a pack.
Lol.
Sorry, did someone say Jill Valentine?
Rayman here someone who plays your games! lol. But i prefer Jill Valentine...
That was amusing......thank you
Not enough ladies, where are Princess Zelda, Azel, Nei (Numan), Maria Beldandes, Aya Brea, Terra Branford, Princess Garnet to name some?
Hmmm.... This is a tough one.
Should've been more females but I pick Jill by default, Chrom was hilarious what with putting an unconscious, amnesia stranger the head of his army...What?
Uggh, I hate these type of skim through the pages Articles...
I'm pretty sure Donkey Kong doesn't listen to Guns N' Roses. (Look at DK's location.)
What? No Kasumi?

Clever one with the "be mine" in ASCII code.
Every year this is done, and every year there is a lack of females...
Ha! Suck it, Virtual Boy!
What? No Samus? Really not enough ladies.
I love these, thanks for putting them up for the past few years. I'd love to see Magnus, Little Mac, Wii Fit Trainer or Meta Knight in one of these.
@Philip_J_Reed I hope if you do this next year that you'll do profiles for Giygas and Zero (I know they're unrelated, but, hey, whatever).
Brilliant work by the way. You've got a razor sharp sense of humor!
@CaptainSquid
Little Mac barely missed out...and now I regret it, because it would have been great to have him right after his Smash Bros. announcement. Oh well. Maybe they'll announce the King of Red Lions next and I'll feel better.
@mozzy1
We already did Samus! She's taken now, we assume, so no more profiles for her.
@Everyone Bemoaning a Lack of Females:
Bear in mind that if you made a list of all female video game characters that have a) wide recognition b) a significant presence on Nintendo consoles and c) a rich enough history to mine for jokes, it would be substantially shorter than a list of male characters that satisfy the same conditions. A 1:10 ratio is probably about right on the whole. I'm by no means saying that's a good thing, but I can only work with what I have, and if I use up all of the female characters in one go, we'll run out!
Besides, that's not the important issue here...this is just all in good fun. Let's focus on the more important things, like whether or not Donkey Kong listens to Guns N Roses.
Yes! An Arrested Development reference! Was I the only one that caught it? "How many times do I have to tell you? There's always MONEY in the BANANA STAND!"
I'd date Jill in a heartbeat.
I pick Rayman, fighter of the Night man, champion of the sun, he's a master of karate and friendship for everyone.
The best part of this holiday, keep up the awesome work @Chicken_Brutus
I'll just stick with being alone. again. its something you get used to.
Ohgod, Chrom is so hot... e///e;
After reading Rayman's entry, I can't read your articles without trying to find an Always Sunny reference.
@Philip_J_Reed
Thats why you grab the gals from sega and square, Only two of the women I mentioned are not available on a nintendo console.
But even with just Nintendo characters, there are enough Zelda variations to include one each year.
@bloodycelt:
Right, which addresses one of the conditions, but not the other two. And part of the fun is NOT doing the same variations every year.
@Philip_J_Reed This article was brilliant, don't worry about it! Besides for most of the characters this year it made sense that they were single! Chrom and Rayman were my favourites!
Love ya, VVVVVViridian.
@AlbertoC Reminds me of an episode of "Reboot" when a comedian binome said "Take my wife, please" in binary ASCII.
@AJWolfTill You do realize Chrom gets married halfway through the game, right?
Another excellent edition! They're not all horrible picks, though. I could go for Jill as long as she never made me visit her at work and promised to take full advantage of maternity leave when the time came, and Chrom's a great guy if I swung that way.
