Al Yankovic in 'White and Nerdy'. Copyrighted image

He is white and Nerdy. He is Jewish, too. Born to a poor mother Marcus left home and went to study medicine in Bucharest. Marcus is an intellectual genius. He is fond of Carl Sagan, Einstein and specially his saint, Spinoza. He is one of the most respectable contributors to the Internet philosophy forums where he writes with the nickname of �Nature Watcher�. Enthusiastic and humble as he may be, he may be very aggressive if you�d try to distract him while he is watching �Cosmos�, especially that he doesn�t have a VCR. Marcus is madly in love with a girl, the wrong girl. He learns that a quarterback is much more attractive to any girl than a nerd like himself.

Gerald Grotesque 

Arthur Schopenhauer

In a gloomy house somewhere in Romania, perhaps not very far from where Vlad the impaler lived, Gerald lives. He did a great 

Job scaring all the countryside people away and his loyal wolf Fang protects him day and night. On the walls of his house you can see many portraits, most of the portraits belonged to the original owners of the house, but there is Schopenhauer's portrait as well. Gerald doesn't hesitate to take care of a hurt man in need of medication. Well, he was a physician long time ago. Staying at a room in his house seems comfortable, if it weren't for those horrible screams at night!

 Loki

Loki. Copyright 2006 by Fady Bahig

Loki! Oh, what can I say about Loki? Loki is Faust�s imaginative friend. Faust first learned the name �Loki� from a kids book that Keiko read him before sleep. Later, Loki started to be incarnated as an imaginative friend to Faust after Keiko left the house. He did all possible to make Faust laugh and to get him out of his sad mood. Loki looked like Irish fairies and acted in a hilarious manner forcing the depressed Faust to burst in laughter. He had the habit of imitating people and making fun even of Faust himself. When he manages to make Faust laugh, he cries in pleasure �E�stata fasulla!� As Faust grows up, he forgets about his old friend. But beware! Loki doesn�t like to be forgotten for long!

Quotes:

As Faust arrives to Romania, Loki cries: 

�Romania! Finally women that God created when he was sober!�

Faust wonders why Gerald writes '96' on his house.

Faust: �What does 96 mean anyway?�

Loki: �I have no idea, Fosti. Perhaps in 1996 a dear friend to Gerald died or something. Things would have definitely been much easier to understand if it was 69!�

Loki: �Why do you always get to know weird people like that Grotesque? Won�t you ever try to sheer yourself up a little? Enjoy your life before it�s too late. Get some girls. I want some hot stuff, I want some booty shaking! Oh poor me! Of all the people in the world why weren�t I dreamt of by a playboy?�

Faust: �Perhaps, It is because no playboy has ever been a dreamer.�
