After spending the day watching Season 0 of Yu-Gi-Oh, did you really expect me to leave Yugi and his awesome counterpart unclaimed? :clears throat:
:Yami voice: "Saa, geimu no jikan da." >
Name: Yuugi Moutou ((Or you can just say Yugi. :shrug: ))
Age: 16
Gender: Male, even if he sounds like a girl in Japanese. XD
Roleplay: Yu-Gi-Oh, open
Birth day: June 4 ((Thank you Yu-Gi-Oh wikipedia. ))
Birthplace: Japan
Weapon/Powers: ...Does Yami count as a 'power'? Otherwise, he's just really good at card games.
Parents: It never really says... He lives with his grandpa, who runs a game store.
Occupation: High school student. ((Despite his unexplainable shortness.))
Lover/Spouse: HA! That's funny. But I think he has a thing for Tea...erm...or Anzu(Tea's Japanese name)
Personality: Pure and innocent, like a kid. Despite the fact that his alter ego is the kind of kick-your-ass character Animes are known for, he doesn't even think about evil things. He always assumes the best of people too, and is kind of a pushover. Gradually he learns that people aren't that trustworthy, but it takes a lot of beatings, thefts, and cards getting thrown overboard to learn that.
History: ((Yay for Yu-Gi-Oh Wiki! I haven't really kept current with this, after all. Also, any time they say 'Atem', they mean Yami. And I refuse to put the GX history in here. :nod: Also, I've noticed that this copy-pasted history is very inconsistant with names. Jonouchi=Joey, Honda=Tristan, and Anzu=Tea.))
Yugi was given the Millennium Puzzle in pieces by his grandfather, Solomon Muto.
A school bully called Ushio beats up Jonouchi and Honda. He also beats up Yugi and tells him to bring money or he will cut him with a knife. That night, Yugi solves the Millennium Puzzle.
When he assembled it towards the beginning of the anime and manga, he becomes the Dark Guardian and his body became the host for the spirit of a 3,000-year-old Egyptian Pharaoh, Atem (5,000-year-old in the English anime). The spirit, known as Yami Yugi (Dark Yugi in the manga and Japanese version) becomes similar to an alter ego. During those 3,000 years in the puzzle, the pharaoh forgot everything about him and his past, including his own name.
Dark Yugi defeats Ushio in a Shadow Game and changes back to Yugi, who has no knowledge of what has passed.
At the start of the manga and the first three episodes, it's never suggested that there are two Yugis. The first character to come to this assumption is actually Anzu when she was held hostage in the forth episode. She is blindfolded, but hears the voice of somebody who is confident, and realises that it can't be Yugi.
The second character to see the difference between the two is Shadi who, after entering Yugi's soul room, sees a second room. This is the first hint that the two Yugis are actually different characters in the same body. After losing a game to Dark Yugi, he plays another one which involves Yugi's friends, trying to anger Dark Yugi. Dark Yugi beats him, then changes back in front of Jonouchi and Anzu, drawing more confusion. During the same arc, it is revealed Yugi knows he is having black-outs. He is also hesitant to remove the Puzzle from around his neck.
Yugi invites his friends Joey, Téa and Tristan to come see his grandfather's rare card. Seto Kaiba overhears this and deduces that they are talking about the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon." In the first series he switches Sugoroku's Blue-Eyes with a counterfeit but "the other Yugi" wins a game of Duel Monsters and places a penalty game on Seto, causing Seto to be trapped in an illusion where Duel Monsters kill him repeatedly, though it is just a sensation of death. Yugi returns the real card to his grandfather.
It is during Death-T, that finally both Yugis are seen as different people; albeit the context staying unrevealed. After Honda is caught in one of Kaiba's games and is presumed dead, Yugi breaks up in the tunnel leading to Death-T4. He then reveals how he is scared of there being another Yugi and doesn't want to see anybody get hurt because then somebody else will be hurt as well... Jonouchi and Anzu take him to speaking the truth. After the Death-T incident, Dark Yugi also seems to be more open to Yugi - Yugi ends his short epilogue of the arc by saying that he remembers 'all the battles we've fought together.' Jonouchi also regards Dark Yugi taking over as 'changing.'
The evidence existing becomes drastically clearer and clearer that Yugi and Dark Yugi are different souls. In the most prominent of these, Yugi is challenged to a Shadow Game by a boy named Imori using Chinese Dragon Cards that were sealed. Yugi loses and, as the rules say it must, his soul is sucked into the soul-eating jar. However he seizes the puzzle just in time and Dark Yugi challenges him to a re-match, defeating Imori and setting the captured Yugi's soul free while at the same time imprisoning Imori's. Now it is made clear that Dark Yugi and Yugi just live in the same body.
Yugi and his friends play a role-playing game of Monster World against Dark Bakura, who then seals the souls of Yugi's friends into the miniatures. Yugi demands that Bakura seal his soul into a figurine as well. In his thoughts he states that even if he can't roll the dice, 'the other me' can. Dark Yugi then meets Yugi for the first time. At this point both characters have changed dramatically from the beginning of the manga - Yugi is more confident and daring, while Dark Yugi's treatment of his foes is softer and his attitude is no longer so arrogant. This is shown in their designs: Yugi's face has matured and sharpened, and he no longer looks awkward when putting on a brave face; Dark Yugi's has softened, his glare is more of weariness than of pride and his eyes are less wild. After this story, both Yugis have a more comfortable relationship with each other and their friends. This bond sets them up for the rest of the volumes.
In the Duelist Kingdom arc, kaiba kidnapes solomon and forces him to duel him. Kaiba defeats Solomon in Duel claiming Solomon's Blue-Eyes after he refused to trade in and sell it. Yugi and his friends catch up Solomon has already been defeated and witness Kaiba rip the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in two in front of them. Outraged Yugi challanges Kaiba to a Duel. Solomon gives Yugi his Deck to use. While dueling Yugi discovers Kaiba has the other three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" in his Deck but defeats him using "Exodia." After defeating Kaiba, Yugi then becomes the Duel Monsters World Champion.
Pegasus sends Yugi a video inviting him to participate in his Duelist Kingdom tournament. Pegasus appears on the video and duels Yugi on the spot while freezing everyone else in the room. He places a time limit on the duel and wins because he has more Life Points when the time ran out, before Yugi could declare his last attack. As a penalty for his defeat Solomon's soul is stolen. Yugi enters the tournament to rescue his grandfather.
Yugi gives Joey one of his two Star Chips that are required for entry to allow Joey to participate and help him. Yugi meets Weevil Underwood on the ship to the tournament. After showing Weevil his Exodia cards, Weevil tosses them overboard. Joey jumps overboard to recover them. He gets two of the pieces and is then rescued by Yugi. To get back at Weevil, Yugi defeats him in the first Duel of the tournament. Together Yugi and Joey advance to the finals where they eventually duel each other. Joey uses all he learned from Yugi, but is still defeated. Yugi then advances to the finals where he duels Pegasus. He learns of Pegasus motive to steal his Millennium Puzzle to try revive his deceased wife Cecilia. Pegasus uses his Millennium Eye to read Yami Yugi's mind during the Duel, but Dark Yugi and Yugi continue to switch minds so Pegasus cannot read the other's strategy. Yugi and Dark Yugi defeat Pegasus and rescue Solomon along with Seto and Mokuba Kaiba, whose souls Pegasus had also taken. Yugi gives his prize money to Joey, so he can pay for his sister, Serenity's eye operation.
Afterwards, in an anime-only mini-arc, Kaiba's mind gets trapped in the "Virtual World" by "The Big Five" while testing out a virtual reality machine that he created. Yugi and Joey entered the virtual world at Mokuba's request where they help Kaiba defeat the Big Five and escape.
Yami Yugi finds out his name is Atem in Episode 219, In the Name of the Pharaoh. "Aktem" is actually a variant of the name of the Sun god ." After finding out his real name, he is told by Ishizu Ishtar that in order for his spirit to be freed and return to where he belongs, he must be defeated in a Duel in the tomb where the Millennium Items are held. Yugi decides to duel his other half. The two put up a good fight, but in the end, Yugi manages to defeat all three Egyptian God Cards and win the Duel. The pharaoh then returns to the spirit world and the Millennium Items are sealed up. ((For the purpose of RPing, we're going to pretend that DIDN'T happen. Cause I like Yami. A lot. To the point that I'm probably going to play as him more than Yugi.))
Description: Short. Really really short. Spiky blond-black-and-pink hair. Almost always wears his school uniform, which has blue pants and a jacket, and a long sleeved white shirt. Purple eyes. Erm... Oh, just go to the pictures.
((Yugi's the SHORT ONE, people. First person to get them mixed up gets a virtual slap from me.))
((Again, he's the SHORT ONE.))
Likes: Games. He really really likes games. And his friends. And...hmm...nothing else really comes to mind. Well, seeing as he took all that time to solve the Millennium Puzzle, I assume he likes challenges too.
Dislikes: People bullying his friends, erm...oh, hurting people. ((There was this one time when he and Yami had an issue with that...okay, maybe it was more than one time...))
Strengths: Playing games. :shrug: He doesn't really do a whole lot else he's good at. Oh, and he's a good friend.
Faults: He's way. Too. Trusting. And innocent.
Friends: Joey/Jonouchi, Tea/Anzu, Tristan/Honda, and...well, EVENTUALLY Yami and him become really tight. :nod: After, you know, Yugi realizes he's there and gets over the whole violence thing...
Enemies: ...Um, I guess Kaiba, though Yugi doesn't really ACT mean to anyone...he may as well not really have enemies. But if he were to have enemies, it would be Kaiba, Yami Bakura, Marrik, Pegasus, erm...and anyone else that was an enemy in the anime...can't really think of anyone else right off the bat...
Theme: Kawaita Sakebi
This is the opening theme of Season 0, by the way. It's also going to be Yami's theme.
Anything Else: Erm. Yeah. So that's Yugi. Now Yami gets his own profile. :nod: Because his history is so damn long, he'll be in the next post.
