[[4 chan anime]]
This is a directory for linking to in-depth character descriptions of the [[Board-tans]] living in 4chan House for the [[4 chan anime]]. [[/tg/]], as it is one to do, has written a few relevant [[4 chan anime Writefaggotry|short stories]]. There is an [http://shimmie.4chanhouse.org/ image gallery] and [http://dis.4chanhouse.org/char/ character discussion boards].
== /x/ ==
Due to the chaotic nature of 4chan, there will never be a [[canon]] for the board-tans. There may be consensus, but it is best to treat all of the characters as fanon. If a certain character design upsets you, use the interpretation that you like the most, or be a real [[fa/tg/uy]] and [[Character Creation|make your own]].
<b>Gender/Physical Description:</b> Female. Atrractive, but not overly so. Somewhat short. She has long, loosely curled hair which usually covers her left eye which is either completely red or black with a red pupil. She wears a black tank-top with a skull on it, black jeans, and sneakers.
<b>Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.: </b> /x/ is a shy, quiet girl. She's intelligent, creative, and paranoid, sometimes to the point of insanity. Sometimes it seems she knows more about the way the world works than she lets on, maybe even more than most people.She loves to read, and her favorite books include the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" series and "House of Leaves".
<b>Special Power:</b> /x/ "dabbles" a bit in witchcraft. She has a lot of magical potential, but she's too afraid of it to use it.
<b>Relationships:</b> Of course, we all know that she and /tg/ become an item and that she is extremely afraid of /b/. As for the rest of the characters, she gets along with them and is pretty comfortable around them, but she wouldn't really call them friends.
<b>Job:</b>She is either a supernatural/horror author with a cult following, or she writes a series of books in which she gathers "true" hauntings and other supernatural events.

==History==
<b>Gender/Physical Description:</b> Male,
Once upon a time, [[:File:4ChanHouse.jpg|an image]] was posted on the /r9k/ board of 4chan labeled "4chan house" that showed all the then-boards of [[4chan]] as little stick figures doing board-relevant things. Then a [[drawfag]] named {{Anonymous|Three Angled Blue}} drew [http://dis.4chanhouse.org/comic/res/21.html#21 a comic] immortalizing /b/'s failed invasion of /v/, showing both boards personified as characters. A new era dawned unexpectedly.
<b>Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.:</b> /r9k/ is a nihlistic, depressed loner who whines about how he hates life and how life hates him back. Is misogynistic due to repeated rejection, and spends his time philosophising about politics, religion, and other weighty subjects. Brutal at dissecting the character flaws of others in public. Secretly wants to have sex with his sister. He also thinks he is a robot, and is trying to hide this from the other boards, though he has been known to slip up. He replaces /b/ as the landlord after the Cancer King, and he opens up the 3 rooms /b/ was hoarding to himself
<b>Special Power:</b> Becomes an android
<b>Relationships: </b> None. Ronery. /r9k/ is a loner and despises the rest of 4chan as inferior imbeciles. Reserves contempt for all other boards, but especially /b/.
<b>Job:</b> No job, is studying computer science at university
Prior to these events, 4chan's boards did not have character representations. There was always the portrayal of {{Anonymous}} as the featureless green-skinned "<nowiki>[No Picture Available]</nowiki>" man-in-a-suit, and there were certainly [[Yotsuba|mascots]], but a character that ''was'' a whole board? Preposterous.
[[Image:Board-tans_cosplay_ck_co_i_x.jpg|thumb|320px|Cosplay of /ck/, /co/, /i/ and /x/'s board-tans, from way back when sometimes 4chan users actually went outside and had meetups.]]
Fast forward some years through multiple iterations of failed group projects, thread deletions, and moderate obscurity and you get to where we are today: a vast and rather unorganized collection of scribbles, fiction, and even cosplays that portray the various boards of 4chan as anthropomorphized characters living out their crazy lives.
== /tg/ ==
Some thought it brilliant, and others equated those people to fanfiction-loving scum. In the end, it's a matter of [[skub|taste]].
<b>Gender/Physical Description:</b> Male. Somewhat skinny, average height, brown hair that reaches his shoulders.
<b>Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.:</b> /tg/ is an obsessive fan of many tabletop games, the foremost being Dungeons and Dragons and Warhammer 40k. His behavior is influenced by this in some ways- for example, Has a tendency to narrate his own actions when things get hectic (ie. rushes into a room by forcing the door open, yelling "I KICK DOWN THE DOOR".)
<b>Special Power:</b> Up for debate. May or may not be the Dice of Prestidigitation, which affect the world around /tg/ in small, subtle ways, as was suggested before.
<b>Relationships:</b> /tg/ mainly hangs out with /co/ and /x/. He's also hung out with /v/, /ck/, /k/, and several other boards from time to time.
<b>Job:</b> /tg/ works at the LGS owned by /co/.
== /g/ ==
The -tan suffix is a [[weeaboo]] holdout, in the vein of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS-tan#Tan_suffix OS-tan] characters.
Gender/Physical Description: Male. Not in best physical condition, as he rarely leaves the basement and sleeps even less. However, his inactivity is balanced by his tendency to forget to eat, so he is closer to underweight than overweight.
Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.: /g/ loves technology, much in the same way that most people love oxygen. He is obscenely good with computers, which he uses to fuel his thirst for the latest technological info, as well as earn his money via freelance hacking. It is suspected that he has vast sums of money stored away. He is arrogant and reckless, rarely considering the consequences before he does something, at least when it comes to computers.
Despite his reclusive nature, his obsession makes him a perfect fit for the 4chan house, and he knows he is accepted there. He will not only perform various favors in return for blank CD's and cases of energy drinks, but maintains the internet connection for the entire building as well.
Special Power: Complete control of technology, to the point that he can force /m/s incomplete robot battlesuit to work simply through his will.
Relationships: Close friends with /m/, as well as /v/. However, he values /k/ for his practicality. Never leaving the basement, it is unknown whether he knows about /b/s treatment of /x/, the only other occupant of that floor.
Job: /g/ is a freelance hacker, and it is heavily implied that he has worked with some shady people. He makes quite a bit of money doing this, though he occasionally pays the rent by upgrading the building.
== /k/ ==

<b>Gender/Physical Description:</b> Male. Tall and lean, with brown hair and sideburns that go almost all the way down his jawline. He wears a trucker hat, sunglasses, hunting vest, white t-shirt, blue jeans, and hiking boots.

<b>Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.:</b> He loves his guns, which is probably an understatement, and is an expert marksman with almost everything.
* The [[: File: Boardponies.jpg|My Little Ponies version]]
Is very protective of the 4chan house and those that live there, once even going so far as to mine the front lawn. For obvious reasons, he was forced to remove them. He is always ready for a fight and is difficult to catch off-guard.
* [[/d/-tan Gets it Done]]
<b>Special Power:</b> No matter where he is, /k/ always has a weapon hidden nearby. He also has very deep contacts in both the US military and the black market.

<b>Relationships:</b> Married(?) to /an/. Friends with /trv/, but /trv/ is rarely there. Often seen with /v/, but they argue constantly, especially about the inpracticality of many of the weapons that /v/ idolizes in his games.Will sometimes participate in various wargames, with /tg/ but is very critical of their accuracy or lack thereof. He gets along well with most of his fellow tenants, and he sees himself as their protector.
<b>Job:</b> Retired. Previously: Unknown position in the US army, followed by a brief stint as a professional bodyguard.
== <b>/sp/</b> ==
[[Category:Not related]]
<b>Name:</b> /sp/
<b>Gender/Physical Description:</b> Large, Black Male (say, 6'4", 250 lbs), extremely muscular and atheletic, tends to wear an old sports jersey (perhaps #18)
<b>Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.:</b> Extremely belligerent and spiteful, often reacting with threats of violence to even the most minor of offense. Obviously a steriods user, most likely from his days playing "in the pro leagues." (However, asking what sport he played, or why he no longer plays it, will cause /sp/ to react violently). Generally, the pompous jerk of the apartment, but still easier to stand than /b/. Likes watching and/or playing several sports, but also critiques them to no end.
<b>Special Power:</b> /sp/ uses ROID RAGE! It's super effective!
<b>Relationships:</b> Doesn't relate well with the other boards, although a rivalry with /fit/ is present. As well, there is room for /sp/ to carry a gun (but not know how to use it), leading to a relationship with /k/ as well.
<b>Job:</b> A former professional athelete, but now is simply a sports beat writer for the local newspaper/online blog.
/d/ is a shapeshifter, but she has two basic forms that she uses most of the time.
Her "normal" form is that of a tall, busty, mature woman with long black hair and a carefully hidden penis, based off of Lust from FMA.
She likes to tie her hair back, wear glasses, and dress conservatively during the day when she's not at work, in order to avoid any extra attention.
/d/ also has a second "succubus" form that comes out at night. She uses a toned down version of this form while she runs her sex shop.
Her succubus form has green hair, horns, fangs, a third eye, and a tail. She can only manipulate her genitalia while her third eye is open.
She often alters herself further from the succubus form by growing tentacles from her tail, limbs, or hair, and/or turning parts of her to slime, the color green a constant throughout.
<b>Personality/Habits/Hobbies/Behavior etc.:</b>
/d/ is generally friendly, respectful, and tolerant, especially in concern with other people's hobbies.
During the day when she's not at work, she likes to hang out with /tg/ /co/ and /a/. She even develops a relationship with /x/ after the invasion.
She shows genuine interest in their hobbies, but sex is always in the back of her mind, leading to some occasional awkward moments.
She enjoys toying with/tempting the other boards on occasion (especially the h-boards), but she is very careful to respect their boundaries most of the time.
After nightfall, when most of the boards are asleep, she transforms into her succubus form. This form represents the physical embodiment of her desires.
/d/ will try to seduce one of the other boards, changing her form and bargaining with them in order to overcome their reluctance to accept her.
While she doesn't need to find a mate every night, going too long without leads to sexual starvation and her demon side becomes more ravenous.
Eventually she loses control of herself and takes her victim by force, her mind completely absent from the experience as she is overtaken by her latent demonic side. Otherwise her mate wakes up safely the next day, little bruised but their ego.
<b>Special Power:</b> Transformation.
/d/ is capable of transforming into any biological form that she can imagine, but she must stay at least partially human in order to maintain control.
She cannot access her powers fully during the day, only capable of making minor cosmetic changes (e.g. hair, horns and "leather" for work) without the power of the eye.
Controlling her powers becomes more difficult when she is trying to control too much mass at one time, or she becomes extremely aroused.
<b>Relationships:</b> /d/ is on friendly (though cautious) terms with /tg/ /co/ /a/ and the hentai boards. She has a unique relationship with /x/ as well.
<b>Job:</b> /d/ runs a sex shop with /h/. Her personality opens up a bit while she's at work, and she becomes more outgoing and relaxed when she's in her element.
She gets a thrill from turning people on to new things, and is a helpful (if somewhat aggressive) salesperson.
Since starting work at the shop, she has built a small stockpile of personal items from her deliveries.
