Yup, you guessed it. This is what Yugi's name would look like in 1337. In my demented version, he's still a sw33t kid, but nowhere's near as bent on card games. And for some reason, he died his hair a very odd shade of green. His friends all blame the party Kaiba threw after Battle City, but it's probably due to a duel he lost at some point. Sadly, other than his obsession with games dying down, not much has changed for poor Y00g33, as he still gets picked on all the time.
Y4/\/\!
If you thought Yami would be the same as a 1337 version of himself, prepare to be disappointed. After dying, sleeping for 3000 years, and then... dying again, Yami decided that maybe it's time he refocused on life. Which is how he ended up being 1337. Through sheer power of confusion and debate, Yami was revived for the most part. And by most part, I mean that a lot of his ability for wisdom was lost in the void. But in all due respect, it could be worse. He isn't too bright, and he thinks he's a vampire sometimes, but at least he isn't wearing a football helmet yet. Unfortunately, he has one line that he finds very clever. "Ph34r T3h Ph4r04h." Which he says a lot.
Ry0u
Due to a huge wave of dubbing confusion, Ry0u used to have to endure going by B4kur4's alias until I fixed it up with many legal writs. Anyway, Ry0u is still the light in B4kur4's horrible plans to take over the earth, but keeping B4kur4 out of chaos is a 24-hour job, and most of the time, Ry0u doesn't even bother trying. Instead, he generally tends to get someone stronger, like /\/\41!k to do the job. Unfortunately, that always tends to be worse, since /\/\41!k himself isn't always right in the head. If he's not hiding from B4kur4, Ry0u tends to be mending dolls, or hanging with me in general. Poor Ry0u does try, but he never succeeds.
B4kur4
Remember how in the actual show, Bakura's a jerk and tries to kill everything? Well, in the 1337 world, he still is, but he's also a good guy to some extent. He doesn't summon Zork anymore. No, he prefers to cause the havoc himself, which he does by making fun of most of the other cast members. The good news is, he can't actually banish anyone, because while he underwent the 1337-c0r3-processor, he somehow lost the power over the Millennium Ring. Between trying to regain it and making fun of everyone else, B4kur4 is as powerful as a guppy on land. Unfortunately, he's still too much for Ry0u.
M41!k
Ah, everyone's favorite YGO villain also had the pain of going through the 1337-c0r3-processor. He's not really a bad guy anymore, he's just a little not right. After the ritual to turn him 1337 was completed, he went directly to Y4/\/\! and asked to join his group. /\/\41!k tends to be the comic relief, as his evil side constantly likes to make his life miserable by switching his stuff around and by pretending to be him. He also reinstituted the R4r3 Hunt3rz, a now 1337 group dedicated to teaching origami and how to fight like a ninja.
S3t0 K4!b4
If you speak 1337, then you should know this is what happens when Kaiba goes through the 1337-c0r3-processor. However, due to an internal meltdown (most likely caused by the over-excessive beta waves in his brain), his personality has taken a 390-degree turn. No longer the ass of a donkey he once was, K4!b4 actually tends to enjoy the time he spends with the rest of the cast. However, a dark secret that haunts the back of his mind springs back to life now, and he fully admits to always wanting to have a sleepover. He also enjoys dueling, but doesn't mind if he loses. He'll simply slam his opponent on the head with his suitcase, titled rightly as the "31337 h4xx0r b0x."
/\/\0kub4
Despite being K4!b4's brother, Mokuba has shown promise of actually being smarter than him, through sheer luck and complete confusion on everyone else's parts. M0kub4 has a tendency to hang out with both the boys and girls of the cast, and sometimes acts as a mediator when fights between the genders ensues. Unfortunately, he usually makes things worse, because in the end, he almost always double-crosses someone, whether by accident or on purpose. But, he's still a very good agent, and is able to sneak around without being detected for nearly half an hour. Maybe HE should be the "31337 h4xx0r!"
J03y \/\//-/33l3r
Through another mess of dubbing mistakes, Jou's name was inadvertantly switched to the Americanized verion, Joey. But, he didn't mind, and as he went through the LCP (1337-c0re-processor), he decided to keep his name as to prevent more confusion. He's still Y00g33's best friend, and he still loves to play practical pranks. Unfortunately, he always seems to automatically assume he's the leader whenever his brain hatches a complex (and usually foolhardy) plan to do something behind my back. And unfortunately, everyone usually follows his ideas.
T3'4 G4rdn3r
Through the same mess that Jou had gone through, Anzu had changed her name to Tea to avoid another comical mistake. If you thought most of the 1337 cast would be battier than a sack of demented frogs, then T34 will be a breath of fresh air. She happens to be the brains of the group, and is usually in charge of keeping everyone else, especially J03y, in line. Unusually, she happens to lead the girls to victory whenever a battle of the genders breaks out, but she's also the one who usually lets S3t0 into their parties, under his (un)clever disguise of "K4!b!n4," resulting in many of their plans and parties being crashed. Also, she loves Dance Dance Revolution.
Tr33st4/\/ T4yl0r
Another meltdown occurred when Honda stepped into the LCP, resulting in yet another terrible tragedy where his copyrighted name was replaced with Tristan. Anyway, unlike most of the other cast, Tr33st4n decided to do something with his life, and once applied for the army. He failed when he couldn't complete the "save a drowning victim" test, but soon got a job working part time on the stage of where our episodes take place. Though never really a big part of any episode, Tr33st4n does happen to provide a little comical humor to the story, though that's usually from agreeing with any boneheaded plan J03y happens to concoct.
Gr4/\/dp4 /\/\u70
Mr. Suguroku Muto also decided to take the LCP for a spin, feeling that life was too short and he'd better take some risks soon, and it turned him into what he is in my demented fanfiction. A spam-loving, game-playing old man who constantly tries to make new recipes with the fake luncheon meat. Unfortunately, Mr. Muto is so obsessed with spam that he often drives Y00g33 and Y4m! away, therefore getting rid of his only company and making it near impossible for him to have a social life. But no worries, because Gr4ndp4 always has something ready for the gang to eat when it comes to dinner time.
R3x R4p70r
Don't ask why Ryuuzaki decided to help us here. We don't know either, mainly because he never tells us. After going through the LCP, R3x somehow lost the ability to speak, and only does so when something pisses him off enough to warrant killing someone. Not that anything actually does, but R3x has a temper. Thankfully, his cool personality (or what's shown of it) often keeps people from annoying him too much. Unfortunately, he's a killjoy to talk to at parties.
M4! \/413/\/t!/\/3
We all knew that eventually, Miss Mai Kajuka would eventually be undergoing the LCP, right? Well, here she is, in full 1337 form. Not much changed about her, and though the machine was broken, we're still not sure how that happened. Maybe she's just lucky. Anyway, usually, M4!'s main purpose is to help T34 out whenever something happens with the boys that warrants a war between them. That happens quite often.
Yuff!3
W00t, a crossover! After years and years of admiring the beauty of Final Fantasy VII, I finally decided to just plop Yuffie through the LPC, and this is what happened. Supposedly, R3x managed to fix the machine, and through whatever miracle created, Yuff!3 became one of the most talented ninjas in her time, being able to not just steal right under B4kur$4's nose, but able to leap off of 30-foot statues without so much as a scratch on her. Unfortunately, the ability to escape from knots still eludes her, and it even causes trouble when she tries to avoid M4r!k.
R4y, K4!, and 7y50/\/
More crossovers! Normally, these three boneheads are almost never actually in the episodes, but when they are, it's to make fun of EVERYTHING. To make up for their lack of space, they somehow managed to create a rift that allows them to be "outside" of the storyline, where they're free to mock and make fun of everything around them without anyone being the wiser. They even manage to evade me at certain points, but even an Author has out-of-control abilities. They're the crucial villains in the first three episodes, having stolen something perhaps they should've avoided.
S3r3n!ty \/\//-/3313r
The time has come for Shizuka to make her debut, and she comes in with a bang. Fresh from the LCP, her personality is no longer a shy girl who has no idea what's going on, but now a spunky, sassy girl who doesn't mind telling the group off when they fail to listen to her suggestions. Most of the time, she and T34 organize little get-togethers to catch up and gossip, but there are instances where her... other abilities are much more useful.
!s/-/!zu !s/-/t4r
Unfortunately, right after Shizuka's erratic personality change, the LCP broke again, resulting in not just one personality to appear in !sh!zu, but two. The first one hasn't changed much, as she still tries to stress how the fate of the world is in danger, but the second one constantly wails and howls her prophecies of doom and how she knows just how each and every cast member will die. And with the exception of the Author, that tends to scare everyone until her nice personality shines again. Can she get a grip, or will her two-sided fate rule her?
BEWD plushie
Technically, a doll can't really be 1337, but this little creature is the sole key to the first three episodes, and Y00g33 sometimes mentions him every so often.
/\/\4r!k
Finally, a psychotic, evil villain to further complicate and confuse those who visit the 1337 YGO world. Born of hatred, nurtured with ignorance, M4r!k knows only how to annoy, bother, anger, and confuse, so isn't it fitting that he does all four of those to M4l!k? Usually, M4r!k takes to making M4l!k miserable by constantly moving his stuff and giving him bad advice, and he even screwed up M4l!k's date with Yuff!3. When he's not doing that, he's torturing Ry0u and messing with the 1337 set.
S4/\/\!
Well, of course I'm here, you silly nincompoop! I'm the Author! As the Author, it's solely my responsibility to make sure that the villains remain villainous, the story remains whacky, and that basically the world still revolves around the moon. Wait. It doesn't revolve around the moon!? Wow, I'm not doing a good job, then. No wonder M4r!k always seems to create a huge mess behind my back! Anyway, with the exception of giving advice and occasionally popping in to burst the villains' bubbles, you won't really need to worry about my presence. No, that job belongs to B4kur4, and unfortunately for him, Ry0u tends to be working on my side.
