IN CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: 24
Canon: The Venture Bros.
OU/AU/OC: OU
Canon Point: Moments before his death at the end of Season 3
History: 24 at the Venture Fans wiki, a more comprehensive history buried in a general Monarch Henchmen article on another fan wiki, and the series on Wikipedia for a general overview of the show/world
Personality: 24 comes from a world where villainy is highly regulated, so although he is a supervillain's minion, he is not an outright evil person. There are certainly moral shades of gray involved in being so willing to go into battle and attempt to kidnap or kill assorted members of the Venture family, but it’s all following orders. It may also help that he rises to the general level of incompetence of everyone in the Monarch’s organization, leaving him relatively harmless as far as men doing a crazy man’s bidding go.

He can be very loyal. Becoming a henchman was a career of last resort after he lost his job at the mill and couldn’t find other employment with only a G.E.D. However, he has shown great devotion to the job. He also sticks with 21, even though he’s the type of know-it-all nerd people easily get sick of. It doesn’t end when the costumes come off. When he’s reunited with him in civilian life at a support group for former henchmen, 24’s excitement is obvious.

Speaking of 21, 24 is rarely seen far from him, and in fact seems like someone who would probably be overlooked beyond being "that guy who sounds like Ray Romano" if he didn't associate with his henchfriend. He will have extensive arguments with him about The Dumbest Things™. The most classic 21 and 24 argument is the one in which they debate whether Smurfs lay eggs. Armchair philosopher? As geeky as 21 in his own way even if he doesn’t have the podcasts to prove it? Desperate to fill downtime in the cocoon? Probably a little of all three. Sometimes he can be the voice of reason, though, such as when he told 21 that his fake battle damage looked like he had smeared Doritos on his face – which is exactly what he had done.

He tends towards sarcastic commentary. When 21 barges into his room without knocking, 24’s reaction is, “Ah, don't knock or anything. It's not like I live with 80 guys and no women, so there's no chance I'm masturbating!”

Despite being a devoted soldier, 24 is not very good at his job. He wasn’t alone in his ignorance, but he didn’t realize that the wings on his costume were operable until Brock Samson took command of the henchmen in the middle of a crisis. Another henchman paired with 21 and 24 for a mission constantly showed them up by knowing more about mission codes and maneuvers than they did. In the mistake that led to his death, he was hiding - along with 21 - in the Monarch-mobile to avoid joining in a fight.

Strengths: Up until his final unfortunate accident, one of 24's greatest strengths was his luck. In a scene where Dr. Girlfriend asks The Monarch why he always sends 21 and 24 on missions, he says they have "that rare blend of expendable and invulnerable that makes for a perfect henchman." On mission after mission, as waves of minions die around him, 24 emerges (relatively) unscathed.

He also has some general combat skills from his time as a henchman.
Weaknesses: His devotion can also be a weakness. Without henching, 24 doesn't know what to do with himself; it defines him too completely. It also has to be said that the ability to follow a megalomaniac is not something to proudly display on your resume. War tribunals are held for guys who were "just following orders".
Possessions: If he would be allowed to have an adapted-for-pony-bodies version of his henchman costume, that is the only thing I would really like him to have from his world.
Pony/Animal Type: Earth Pony
Cutie Mark: 24 - yes, it's his "name", but it also represents his rank and his reason for being. Even when he henched for another villain, he held the same rank.
Pony Picture: I haven't made one yet. If I'm accepted, I'm sure I will have one to display before playing.

SAMPLES
First Person: [Voice]
I need to speak with your Sovereign. Or Leader. Or the Grand Pony Poobah. Whatever you have. This is unlawful detention of a henchman!

Section 12 Subsection E Paragraph mrmrm [He mumbles this because he doesn’t actually remember the number.] of the Guild handbook states that any kidnapped henchman should be allowed to record a tearful message pleading with his boss to have mercy and save his worthless life within 48 hours of his capture. I’ve been here four days!

If The Monarch thinks I’m dead and not being being held prisoner, they’re going to give away my room in the cocoon. I’ll have to sleep in the basement with the new recruits. Do you know how many of them have nightmares? I’ll never get a good night’s sleep again!
Third Person: Test drive meme thread.
