Straw Man Introduced by SteveT

Full Name: Straw Man Birthdate: 1923 Species: Construct Nationality: U.S.A. First Appearance: OGers: The Third Generation

Background

Straw Man spent his childhood warding crows away from a farmer’s crops. At some point, he logically deduced that he was sentient, and in that same instant developed the ability to think. He later concluded that he was, in fact, alive and being oppressed, so he quit his job.

Or at least that’s how he tells it.

Thereafter, he held many jobs, including a lawyer and a professor of various subjects at various colleges. He has never been employed for more than a day.

He is a genius of the highest order and never fails to enlighten other characters about the truth of any given matter; no logical fallacy is beneath him. Straw Man is never without his Book of Citations, which allegedly contains all knowledge in the universe (although other sources testify that the Book of Citations is nothing more than Straw Man’s vacation photo album).

Timeline History

Good Timeline

Straw Man works as a member of the SteveTrio. He is SteveT’s minion, although he insists that he is both the leader and the brains of the group.

During the Sidekick Rebellion of GMOG VI, Straw Man “fired” SteveT and organized all the other sidekicks into his own group of minions. The SteveTrio has not reformed since then.

Years later, Straw Man gained the Power of Narration and all his strange delusions became truth. Straw Man used this power to conquer the world. Presumably, he was defeated by Robert Stack and his damage to reality was undone.

His son, Straw Man Jr (who existed only as a result of his powers), also had some Power of Narration and used it to claim his own planet. He named the planet Flaxius and modeled its inhabitants after himself. Flaxius and its people remained unchanged after Straw Man was deposed.

Bad Timeline

As in the Good Timeline, Straw Man served as a minion to SteveT.
