pit

Part of the drumline in a marching band.
Not incompetent in comparison to those on the field. People with the hardest music. People putting in more hours than are in a week for rehersal. The only ones with the excuse " i havent GOTTEN the music yet " when asked if its memorized beacuse the drumline instructor is still writing it. Part of the band that could march but would rather play insturments that are too large to lift on there own. Carts are used in getting there equitment on the field. Electronics cart requires cords and 1000 extension cords to be plugged in. The closest people in the band. The family with the most creepy incest akward disfunctial problems. Those that " have a life " beacuse they call drumline there life. A group that gives up all there time but aproxamently 3 or 4 weeks of the year.

Pit: The main protagonist of the NES game, "Kid Icarus". Born a human, he died after ingesting chlorox, became an Angel and was trapped in the underworld (i'm not making this up, people..let's all give a warm round of applause to the nintento copywriters for their *brilliant* work). Queen Palutena, ruler of Angel Land, contacted Pit to find the 3 sacred treasures stolen by Medussa. Eventually,(after 12 hellishly hard levels), he puts an arrow through Medusa and saves Queen Palutena.

For reference, there were 3 endings: 1) Pit grows into a man 2) Pit and Palutena kiss and 3) Pit grows large wings and leaves the underworld
Although affected by a Surfer-cum-Latin accent (ex: like for sureikus!) in the Captain N: The Game Master cartoon, Pit doesn't speak in the video game.
