So What Colour Is Your Toothbrush?
So, What Colour Is Your Toothbrush? is a MST3K-style fanfic sporking theater featuring a group of seven anthropomorphic cats (not furries), with occasional anthropomorphic not-furry Pokémon and occasional human guest stars (such as Rodion Romanovitch Raskolnikov). Characters include:
Silverpelt "Argent" Caelestis, the nice one. She takes a lot of abuse from the others. Officially casted as the Grammar Nazi, although although she doesn't do much. Accidental Pervert.
Hawksky "Faucon" Tartarus, the evil one. She's the one who's most likely to search out a badfic just to torment the others. Supposed to be trying to destroy Silverpelt once and for all... but is pretty lazy. Apparently in a femslash relationship with Silverpelt, although they both deny it vehemently. Makes endless references to random things.
Anna Jekyll/"The Plot Reaper", the Author Avatar. She can be somewhat sueish at times. Usually sides with Hawksky, but waxes philosophical at times. Her alter ego is The Plot Reaper (PR), who is pretty much the same only much more violent AND LIKES TO TALK IN CAPS. Annoys the heck out of everyone.
Kiri Raskolnikova, Hawksky's sidekick. She's pretty clever and has picked up on how to be manipulative, but is also lazy. Loves to write. Best friends (girlfriend?) with Chill even though she can't comprehend emotion very well and considers "romantic love" to be a disease. Usually stoic but bursts into song randomly. Singing is Serious Business for her. Provides a lot of information in case its needed.
Chill von Richthofen, a somewhat foolish ditz. Kinda creepy.
Fallen Succubus, who is waaaaaaaay too cheerful. Doesn't really have an assigned role. Is just kind of... there.
Aziz Succubus, the suspiciously quiet one, at least outside of the sporking theater. Pretty emo. In fact, she only talks when she's sporking or pissed. Her mind is also drastically in the gutter.
Untitled #137 "Cade" Prefect, Aziz' Love Interest. Scarcely seen, but may become a regular. A Chivalrous Pervert for Aziz as well, but.... Only male, yet looks more like a girl than anybody else.
As for the Pokémon featured (by the main sporker's brother):
Dr. Sceptile A. Sceptile, the CEO of SceptiCorp who may or may not be a Corrupt Corporate Executive. He's also a time traveler who works for Dialga, and is described as having a British accent. A bit of a jerk. Arguably an Author Avatar and a definite Deadpan Snarker, and The Rival to Humblot.
Marquis "Jacques" de Humblot, a French Servine and quite the ladies' man. Yet another Jerk with a Heart of Gold who does not like Louis XVI for vague reasons. The Rival to Dr. Sceptile, although they may be Not So Different. He is also a Yuri Fanboy and in favor of quick resolutions to love triangles. Also a Grammar Nazi.
Dusknoir, Dialga's right-hand mon and a firm believer in My Master, Right or Wrong. The Comically Serious due to his nature. Tends to fare the best when viewing fanfiction- only two fanfics have ever harmed him. Takes offense to Humblot often times and cannot stand most romance.
Amongst the fanfics sporked are Chibi Usa's Seventh Birthday, The Pokémon Story, a portion of Celebrian, a chapter of Hogwarts Exposed, part of My Immortal, and (in the future)[when?] half of Little Miss Mary, Agony in Pink, Diamond Pokémon, and Kanaya Gore. The rest of the fanfics featured are relatively harmless.
Fandoms so far: Detective Conan, Harry Potter, Pokémon, Warrior Cats, Axis Powers Hetalia, (supposedly) Spirited Away, Sailor Moon, (in planning)[when?] Homestuck, (in planning)[when?] Power Rangers, and The Lord of the Rings.
