Saturday Neglected Character Double Feature Part III: The Guardian
Make fun of his ridiculous headgear at your own peril, folks. This guy is a fucking BAMF.
This is Dumont. He’s Gibbs’s Program, and he runs an I/O Tower, which means he is a big fucking deal. For us Users, this means he’s basically the guy who decides whether or not you’re going to get to USE the program you’re trying to work with. For Programs, this makes him the go-to guy when you want to talk to God. Do something to piss him off, and no matter which side of the screen you’re on, your productivity for the day is basically shot.
Running an active I/O Tower under the MCP is a hazardous job, and this cantankerous old survivor is not fool enough to risk himself and his Tower without justification. But give him a good enough reason, and he’ll literally put everything on the line for you.
When Sark and his cronies finally manage to bust down his door and start torturing him for information, does this BAMF give it up? Fuck no. He snarks right back at Sark and doesn’t even scream.
Underneath the crabby, crotchety snarking, though, Dumont’s actually a sweet old grandpa, as best demonstrated by his rather aww-inducing relationship with Yori (which actually makes a lot of sense - she’s a System Utility, he runs the I/O Tower that connects her with the Users who need her to run sims).
Dumont: respect the hat, bitches, or he’ll turn your terminal into a very expensive brick.
TRON: Tron in the arena!
Gotta have me some Tron in action
I love this scene, and I love the callback to it in Legacy. In this scene, the first time we really meet Tron, we see him taking out 4 guys at once like it ain’t no thing. In the flashback scene in Legacy, the only time we really get to see Tron, what does he do? Takes out 4 guys at once like it ain’t no thing.

Sometimes I wonder why I stopped photoediting.
It is NEVER too early in the morning to run into Tron being a BAMF on my dash. Really like the colors, and the way the texture of the flashback filter works alongside Betrayal!Tron’s comic-art style. Lovely job!
Because my blog needs more INDIGNATION!!
Tales of the Abyss is one of my favorite JRPGs, and it’s mostly because of this guy right here:
“I who stand in the full light of the heavens command thee, who opens the gates of Hell…come forth, divine lightning! This ends now!! INDIGNATION!!”
Do not let his girlish looks fool you, Tumblrites. Jade Curtiss is a fucking BAMF. He’s a military colonel, the Sherlock of Black Mages, a supergenius of both science and magic. Forbidden cloning technology? This guy was all over that shit before it was cool. Give him any shit and he will just snark at you and push his glasses up before calling down the lightning upon thee. Level drain him? NBD, he’ll still kick your ass one-handed.
And yes, the guy’s a dick, but he’s the kind of dick you love anyway because, well, he’s a fucking BAMF.
