Cartoon characters are personas from cartoons, which are animated moving sequences that are usually drawn but can be computer animated and can come from television, movies, anime or even the web. They can be humans, animals, or even things usually not thought of as living.
An evil organization is a group of super-villans who are hell bent on world domination or something of a similar nature. Usually defeated by a single Spy/Superhero/Average Joe/small child.
It's not just for airplanes anymore: Game mascots and MMO players alike have taken to the skies. Players can use flight to quickly navigate large levels, find hidden items, or take opponents down.
A frog is a small and usually green amphibian that can swim, hop, and ribbit. Sadly, most of them aren't princes.
A game based on an anime.
The elite squad within Frieza's henchmen, compromised by the strongest of his men and those with unique abilities.
"Hand to hand. It is the basis of all combat." -Gray Fox
Henchmen are the loyal grunts caught in between the player and the main antagonist. Without them every game would be nothing more than a boss battle.
Known as Chi in Chinese and Ki in Japanese, it is spiritual energy which cultivates itself through training and meditation. In experienced hands, it becomes a form of visible energy which can heal, destroy, or do many other tasks, determined by the amount of Ki and the user's overall ability to manipulate it.
The ability to float through the air without the aid of a mechanical device such as a jetpack, or the usual biological aids, such as wings.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
Martial arts are a popular set of skills that many video game characters possess. Martial arts are the cornerstone of any fighting game, and have influenced many platforming and adventure games.
Mercenaries, Soldiers for Hire, have been found fighting in conflicts since the dawn of human warfare. These hired guns show a desire to turn their talent in the art of death to a more profitable profession.
The ability to take direct control of another person's body, or an inanimate object, in order to further your own goals. Usually an ability found only in spectral characters.
Super Speed is the ability for a character to travel at speeds normally unattainable by regular humans. Super speed can be a stock super power by characters such as the Flash & Sonic the Hedgehog, or a technologically enhanced ability like Nomad in Crysis.
Strength beyond normal human bounds, i.e. lifting cars, bending metals, shattering a street with one's fist.
A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
