Description
Username: RockoonLocation: Unknown, US
Class: Animalistic
Power: Explosives
Special Techniques:

Tail Twister - A spinning dash attack in which the user is enveloped in a raging twister.
Mining - Allows the user to burrow underground and pop out with a sneak attack.
-THE ORIGINAL-
Decided to write up about these two at the same time. So "Raccoon" and "Blingbling" as they were originally known, were the two very first baddies in TvTome Adventures, playing a very similar road as their TOME counterparts; being hired goons to work unauthorized construction on the virtual landscape in search of a certain rumored item. Raccoon and Blingbling were not only hackers, but also referred to as "spammers" for their loudmouth and abrasive nature, since they were originally based on users that would often spam and bully people on the TvTome forums. Blingbling hadn't much personality to speak of, outside of being a money-grubber, but Raccoon was a total lunatic...and also very difficult to understand. I wrote his lines in 1337speak, which, when watching a series that has no spoken audio to support it, makes for a struggle when having key information delivered by way of dialogue.
-THE NEW-
This time around, I kept the same basic idea of these two characters' but gave them a serious upgrade in terms of comedy and flare, especially in thanks to the dynamic acting duo of Deven Mack Jr. and Eddie Bosco. "Rockoon" was not written at first to be a little crazy black guy, but was asked by D-Mac (who for the record, IS African American) in order to help add some dimension to the little psycho...and BOY did it. D-Mac really went over the top with him, adding so many layers to his antics that have already made the character a big favorite among the viewers. "Doubling" was written as the straight man to Rockoon's crazy...man. I imagined Rockoon as a young kid (younger than Alpha and company) who just happens to be very good with computers but really lets himself go when playing his favorite games. At the same time, his upbringing prevents him from dropping any major curse words and therefore resorts to stuff like "motherscratcher". On the opposite side of things, Doubling makes no bones about being a foul-mouthed asshat with a dry sense of wit and a hint of sniveling cowardice. The two made for a great pair of villains to start things off with and Alpha really showed 'em what for...although I have a feeling we'll be seeing them again.

Ok a little lunatic animal who likes blowing things up? Dang, reminds me so much of Ripper Roo...
Aside that, I love this character, really original (I usually like the crazy ones lol). I hope he'll be in the Gemini Tournament or something, I really expect him there

I assume he'll be in the Gemini Tournament since he is the most recurring villain so far, but who would his partner be?Didn't Doubling stop playing TOME?

During Episode 1, I happen to find Rockoon's character too predictable. Its like the same personality that has been interpreted over and over again. However in Episode 4, his character seems to change a bit. As a character taking the role of an antagonist, he now seems to be more diabolic then he was three episodes ago. As a fanatic who enjoys your creativity, I strongly admire the change.

The "Ginger-spiked muthascratcher", part was hilarious.
I love the reboot of TTA. Can't wait for more episodes.

I agree. Rockoon is bloody brilliant!
"I am NOT going to listen to a "ginger-spiked muthascrather" when I can have a grand ol' time- BLOWING YOU UP! OH-HOHOHOHOHOHO!"
He sounds much less like a spamming semi-competent twerp and much more like, in his own words, a maniac. A maniac obsessed with explosions.
Though to be honest, other than the whole 'destroying users throughout Lavendera over the past month', I don't see any indication those guys were hackers, especially since it was just Rockoon bombing them like crazy. Probably just me, and probably because it was the first episode, and maybe because they got curb-stomped easily by a virus-powered user instead of a hacked player, but it was probably something not really explained well. Just a minor thing though.

IT'S A RACKET ROCKOON
Hahaha, the thugalicious nonsense was a perfect vocal replacement for the l33tspeak. He's so damn annoying that you wanna clobber him, but not that annoying to the point where you can't just laugh at his stupidity.
And dude, D-Mac plays him? THAT'S A BOSS.

SUCKAS GOT GOT.
Alan! Very glad you enjoyed Rockoon's character so, and considered him able to generate great heel heat before putting over Alpha and Kirb! Though, I'm holding out hope he'll get to turn face someday, and isn't reduced to jobber duty or "future endeavored". Woo Woo Woo, You Know It.
...Chris, Are you paying attention? Did I lose you?

i like that version than the past one since the TTA one didnt feel much a treat and took a while to came back .
the introduction of Rockoon and Doubling in Tome was entertaining

To be honest, I liked this "Rockoon" better than "Raccoon" because of two reasons:
A) He's a cuter psycho than his TTA counterpart
B) I can actually understand him without repeating the episode 4 or 5 times to try to make out the English from the "1337speak"
For some crazy reason I want to cuddle him so badly! He's just so dang fuzzy!

Given how well I know Rockoon, I imagine his response would be:
"Awwww. How sweet. I'll be sure to BLOW YOU UP LAST!"
Yeah. He might dislike swearing, but he's also kinda a jerk. Quite glad you've been enjoying his character, though!
