While I love my family, I decided that I would get a new one! I searched high and low for video game characters so I could assemble the perfect family. Grandparents, parents, siblings and pets. I will have them all!

Let's start now with the eldery:


Grandmother: Alice McHarthy



Alice is a nice 76 years old lady who despite her age, is very recognize in the field she workd at. You see, she is ranked third in the UAA (United Assassins Asociation), where ahe is known as Speed Buster, and is the oldest one too. Her shopping cart actually has the pieces of her Buster Launcher, a giant cannon capable of obliterating anything in from of it. While she seems to hate men, and might have a bit of hearing problems, I would rest easy knowing that grandma is capable of defending herself, and destroying anything that gets directly in her way too.


Grandfather: Heihachi Mishima



This is what I call one tough old man, not only we is (was) the head of the Mishima Corporation, he also founded and commanded the Tekken Force Unit. He also likes to throw relatives at cliffs or volcanoes. I certainly wouldn’t have to agree about the well being of dear old gramps, considering he survived big explosions in the past. He will teach me about, ambition, power, and survival of the fittest. Also, if he gets in a fight with grannie, I think he’d survive her Buster Launcher too. He also should have a lot of money.


The other grandmother: Raja



Looking retrospectively, Raja would be my favorite grandma. She is not a deaf assassin, like my other one. Instead, she is a retired Commander of a Royal Navy, and is known as Hurricane Raja for raising ranks so quickly from the daughter of a fisherman. Thanks to her service to the Queen, her hometown Raftfleet was granted autonomy too. She is truly an role model to follow.


The other grandfather: Geppetto



Geppetto would by my favorite grandpa too. He’s a kind old man that always carries a marionette. The marionette resembles her late daughter) and even has her name. Creepy? I have a feeling that my sister Lulu would get along well with him too. Specially since uses Cornelia to attack and cast magic (elemental attack varies according to the dress she is wearing.)


Mother: Mom



Of all the nice mothers out there I had to choose the mysterious mom from Animal Crossing. Why? Because if I wanted to leave home and live on an animal filled town run by a greedy raccoon, she wouldn’t even think about it twice. If I ever get homesick, she’ll help me stay focused on my goal by reminding me how insane she is through her lovely letters.. ahem…








Father: King of All Cosmos



First, considering my grandfather would be a man who has thrown his son over cliffs and volcanoes, I think that having the King of All Cosmos as a father would stop that problem. Just look at him. He is HUGE. And she shoots laser beams out of his eyes, which he’ll probably used against me if I disappoint him. He might occasionally get drunk and knock down whole constellations, but it’s not like he’ll make me replace them, right. RIGHT!?


Brother: Luigi



Everybody knows Luigi, right? He’s Mario’s brother! If I had Mario as a brother, I would be horribly overshadowed by his fame, and I don’t want that, so I figured Luigi would help boost my own self esteem by being his coward, awkward self. Heck, we would probably get along pretty well in the awkward department! Still, he'd be a good brother who would not mind playing board games and any random sport I could think of.


Sister: Lulu



My family is far from typical, so I decided I wanted a sister that liked playing with stuff dolls, and enjoyed accessorizing her outfits even more. And Lulu fits those requisites! So what if the freak factor raised even more? She is a black mage! These mages can cast fire and stuff! Total Destruction! That’s one sister I wouldn’t have to worry about defending either. Now that I think about it, maybe I’m the one in danger of these crazy people.


The wife: Peach



The stereotypical damsel in distress Why? Why, of all the hot, sexy ladies out there, I chose HER? I’ve been a Peach fan ever since she was known as Princess Toadstool and I could play as her in Super Mario Bros 2. She was my character of choice on Super Mario Kart. I was excited at having her as a playable character in Super Mario RPG. And while my memory is not so good, I’m pretty sure I jumped like a rabid, gleeful kangaroo when she was announced for Super Smash Bros Melee. There might be better choices out there, but to me, Peach is the only heart of my life. Well… almost.
Also, I would get to rule a kingdom. And let’s face it: Some changes are needed in the Mushroom Kingdom if we want to reduce the royalty kidnapping percentage!


Pet: Amaterasu



Every fun, loving family needs a pet. And mine would be none other than theorigin of all that is good and mother to us all. Luckily (and hopefully) she is not literally my mother. Ammy is… well, she’s a freaking goddess! She can control the elements, sunsets, sunrises and can regenerate broken things. Considering my father tends to misplace constellations, my new pet can easily replace them with new ones with a few brush strokes. And keeping grandpa from throwing Luigi or me out of a random cliff… and block grannie’s giant cannon if she goes wild and crazy on all of us.

So there it is. I realize that my new family might not be that perfect, but I can imagine the fun we'll have when we invite the extended family for a get together/BBQ.

Hmm, I think I would have picked the mom from earthbound as my mom, and Boney from MOTHER 3 as my pet, but amaterasu would be very interesting as a pet.

I don't remember the mom from Earthbound.
But I should have picked the dad from earthbound, to have the complete set of faraway parents.

Ha ha. You have become even more entertaining a person with this since your last article about the pink characters of video games, Guar.

Excellent choice for sister, too. ^_^

Thanks
I actually like to do these kind of random things in my blog on GameTrailers (and another one in wordpress where I keep strictly those video game related)
