Description of the character's skills and abilities
Lemongrass is a half-hamster, half-vole rodent living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. She hasn't demonstrated any particular skills or abilities, but she hasn't been eaten by anything either and that ought to count for something.

She is one of the few voles to have never been abused by NoName. Here is the story Lemongrass appears in; here is her actual first appearance.

Abilities:

Sys is an alien symbiote. Like her brother, Sym, she can bond with another living creature and augment its natural abilities. Often she will retain some of these abilities which future hosts may utilize. Sys also has some limited shapeshifting abilities.

Name: The Happy Penis (Thing)

Comic: <a href="http://happypenis.comicgenesis.com">The Happy Penis</a>

Picture of the character in swimwear: <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/ ... png">Penis at the Beach</a>
Picture of the character in formal/winter clothes: <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/ ... png">Penis Wedding</a>, <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/ ... 9b.png">An Evening Out</a>.

Me: Welcome to the interview portion of the contest. Please describe your skills and abilities.

HP: Well, I'm <a href="http://happypenis.comicgenesis.com/d/20 ... >suave,</a> intelligent, an <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/ ... >excellent arbiter of fashion</a>, <a href="http://happypenis.comicgenesis.com/d/20 ... l">popular with the ladies,</a> and <a href="http://happypenis.comicgenesis.com/d/20070713.html">I can bear live young.</a>

Me: ...What?

HP: That's nothing special, of course. All of us penises reproduce this way.
Me: So then are you actually female?

HP: We don't really have males and females. I mean, it's not like we have genitalia.

Me: ...anyway. If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

HP: I would have the great strength of Testicles, the famous Greek phallic hero, because he was awesome.

Me: If you could listen to only three songs for the rest of your life what would they be?

HP: <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/ ... png">Ain't Nothin' but a Hot Dog,"</a> by the King of Rock and Roll, Pelvis Presley; <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/ ... ng">"Happy Penis Soars"</a>, by the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIOE0MR99oM">Mars Company</a>; and <a href="http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/k/k ... Detachable Penis,"</a> by King Missile.

Me: What are your three most favorite things to do?

HP: Hang out with the <a href="http://happypenis.comicgenesis.com/d/20 ... tml">Happy Cherry</a>, masturbate, and consume tasty food/fine alcohol.

Me: Welcome to the interview portion of the contest--wait, which category are you entering?

Frankie: "Thing".

Me: But the Happy Penis already entered that category.

F: The rules clearly state one character per comic per category. The Happy Penis is from a different comic.

Me: And aren't you a guy?

F: Do you not <i>see</i> the pictures?

Me: So what are you?

F: Why do you people always insist on trying to shoehorn people into your erroneous notions of gender dichotomy? I'm a shapeshifter. I'm whatever I feel like being.

Me: Well, all right... let's get going. Please describe your skills and abilities.

F: That's classified.

Me: Frankie...

F: Fine, fine. Well, for starters, I'm a shapeshifter. That means I can change into just about any creature I want to and look like anything I want to, though I can't change my weight without going on a diet. I'm adept at espionage, speak 12 languages, can survive on my own in the wilderness, have danced professionally, and I've gestated, nursed, and raised three children. Oh, and I know 30 different ways to kill a man silently.

Me: If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

Frankie: Invisibility. It'd make my job much easier.

Me: If you could listen to only three songs for the rest of your life what would they be?

Frankie: Why don't you just shoot me?

Me: Just answer the question. We aren't actually going to make you listen to just three songs.

F: "She's Lost Control," by Joy Division; "The Phantom of the Opera" theme techno remix; and "Prelude in C sharp minor" by Rachmaninov.

Me: What are your three most favorite things to do?

F: Dance, listen to music, and hang out with friends.

Lunar: Now... D was it? I take it you're entering into the "Thing" portion of the contest?

D : Yeah, I'm not thrilled at the idea of being classified as a thing but Draconus...

Draconus: LORD Draconus

D : Ugh, Lord Draconus was quite insistent. Said if I won, as his minion, it would make him look good.

Draconus: Damn right! I only use the finest minions!

Lunar: Okay I have to ask, why are you his minion?

D : He pays very well, and he's not really that bad once you get used to him

Draconus: In fact D is so grand he would be a master to anyone else, yet he is minion before the greatness of Draconus

Lunar: So what are some of your abilities?

D : Well despite appearances I'm actually a pretty powerful sorcerer, it's one of the main reasons Draconus keeps me around. I can use spells to get him out of trouble when he bites of more than he can chew.

Draconus: Which is never!

Lunar: Time for the questions, One: If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?

D : Definitely the ability to shape-shift into a more intimidating form, as I said earlier it's not easy being taken seriously as a sorcerer when you look like me.

Lunar: Question two: If you could listen to only three songs for the rest of you life what would they be?

D : I'm not sure, music really isn't my thing, maybe some songs by Weird Al I guess, I find them pretty amusing.

Draconus: AND!

D : *sigh* and Lord Draconus' theme song once he gets it composed!

Lunar: Question three: What are your most favourite things to do?

D : I enjoy traveling, which is one of the actual perks to working for Draconus the man has a massive garage full of various modes of transportation. I also enjoy practicing my sorcerer's craft, and finally because he's going to make me say it anyway, I enjoy being Lord Draconus' minion.

Draconus: Woo!

Lunar: Well best of luck in the contest to you... I should really find out where Kirk went...

Voting time is over.

Guess we can officially declare Lemongrass a winner, although we already knew that all this time.

Congratulations Lemongrass, but a more important note (to me anyway) is that D blew away my expectations and made 2nd runner up
