Ares Toraernos is the protagonist of the Brandish series by Nihon Falcom, though he is also commonly called “Varik” due to his association with Toby Fox’s Earthbound Halloween Hack.
Ares is a 27 wandering swordsman who was once hired by the mage Balcan to kill the King of Filveria, King Giselle, as he had turned into a power hungry tyrant. However, this fight resulted in Giselle turning into Aeipron, and possessing Balcan. Balcan ordered Ares to kill him so that he wouldn’t be overtaken by Aeipron’s possession. As Ares kills Balcan, one of Balcan’s daughters, Dela Delon, walks in, and mistakes Ares for murdering Balcan. Dela swears revenge against Ares and chases after him throughout the Brandish series. In Brandish 1, he and Dela fall into the
ruins of Vittoria, and must make their way to the surface. In Brandish 2, Ares is revealed to have collected a sword in Vittoria known as the Planet Buster, a sword so powerful it can destroy planets with a single swing if desired. This results in King Badorrer of Bundevia to hire a mercenary named Karl Kares to capture Ares so he can use the sword for his nefarious goals. In Brandish 3, Ares reconciles with Dela and tracks down the Sacred Stone to stop Gower, the former advisor of Giselle, the king he and Balcan had killed many years ago.

The main protagonist of the Brandish series, though his real name is actually Ares. Varik is more well known for being the main character of the "Earthbound Halloween Hack" made by Toby Fox in 2008. (Note: He is not Toby Fox's OC) Varik/Ares is typically a silent wandering swordsman that works as a bounty hunter and loves to drink beer. Ever since his debut in the Earthbound Halloween Hack he has been slowly becoming more popular in the Undertale and Deltarune fandom, with it being common for people to headcanon for him to be somehow related to Kris from Deltarune given their similarities in design.
Varik is also the main character in Undertale Halloween Hack, which is a fan sequel to Earthbound Halloween Hack and the series that No More Nuzzles is from.

Otherwise spelt as “Lakynn”, Laklynn is a fan name (granted, an unpopular one) used by a small portion of FNAF fans when referring to the security guard character Vanessa from Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Breach before she was revealed as Vanessa in the final game. It was also very frequent for “Laklynn” to be shipped with Vanny, the antagonist of Security Breach.
This scenario is similar to how FNAF fans used to call William Afton or Purple Guy by the name “Vincent”, though this trend was much more popular in the peak days of FNAF.

Otherwise known simply as Laphin, he is a freelance internet voice actor and sound designer who likes Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. He frequently streams on Twitch, where he plays horror games and occasionally does other things. He is most well known though for voice acting Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Springtrap, and Fredbear in a FNAF animated series by Tony Crynight, as well as editing and working on designing sound for the project. He is very talented and should be recognized more often. Oh yeah and he has a hyena fursona.

Fox lady from the fangame Undertale Yellow who also has really hard boss fights and likes to drain your max HP in her Genocide fight, and is the final boss of the Pacifist route. She is the wife of Chujin Ketsukane and the mother of Kanako Ketsukane, and best friends with Starlo. Her goal is to obtain the soul of the game’s protagonist Clover, in hopes of aiding in reviving Kanako after she fell down. She also wants to further Chujin’s legacy, as he passed away before the events of the game. In the Pacifist route it is revealed that she was the one who unintentionally caused Kanako to fall down due to her injecting a serum that contained an impure human soul. This was because Chujin told Ceroba to continue his work with creating a serum that can turn regular monsters into boss monsters, and Kanako was one of the few monsters that possessed the boss monster gene in order to make the perfected serum, thus motivating her goal to use Clover’s pure soul. Ceroba’s character was met with mixed reception from fans, with some either calling her a bad mother or a fox MILF. Sometimes the Undertale Yellow fandom also call her “The Roba”
