Goldenn Flame was a clone of Golden Flame, a User. How he came to be is not clear, as he believed that he was the original and had no memories of his creation. He shared most of the original GF's memories, up until the point where the aforementioned went insane and was put in a mental institution on the User World. He also had some artificial memories of him being "depowered" by the main Users and exiled to Malchior IV.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Unlike the User he was cloned from, Goldenn Flame acted as the voice of reason when things got too crazy. Despite this, he could be quite foolish, such as when he thought it'd be a good idea to hitch a ride on a missile. He had no powers of his own, but contained all the knowledge of the original Golden Flame, including the workings of User technology and the universe itself.
History[edit | edit source]
Early life[edit | edit source]
One day several years ago, Goldenn Flame woke up in a back alley on Malchior IV with the memories of being depowered and sent there by the Users. Knowing that he would have to live the life of a character instead of a User from that point onwards, he started mingling with the locals at a cheese festival, which is where he met Kranxx. The two became good friends, and Flame became Kranxx's cheese dealer, which meant that he would smuggle rare and exotic cheeses from various places around the country to sell him. When Kranxx and TTT decided to go to Kartouche's upcoming concert on Tybion one day, Flame was on hand to provide a lift to the nearest spaceport. Moments later, GregF appeared in the car and started ranting about a User conspiracy to exile the joke characters to their own dimension. Flame expressed his surprise that Greg was alive and well, implying he thought he was dead for whatever reason. When they arrived at the spaceport, Flame assisted Kranxx, TTT, a recently-unemployed Car Guard and a certain CIA agent in stealing a ship to Tybion.
Once there, Flame nearly had his head axed by Patrick Bateman, but was saved by Kranxx, who knocked the human unconscious. After the concert, Goldenn Flame tried persuade Kranxx to help him assemble an army of joke characters to bring the fight to the Users, because Greg's rant confirmed what he already suspected. Kranxx waved off the idea, and they were both distracted by an army of Ta'har which appeared on the other side of the venue. The Ta'har addressed the crowd as infidels for desecrating Tybion with such nonsense, and the joke characters (including Flame) were chased into Hungry-man's ship, a giant floating log cabin. A joke character called "El presidente" decided to reveal himself as Dennis at that time, and rallied the crowd to fight the Ta'har in self-defence. The Battle of the Log Cabin begun.
Battle of the Log Cabin[edit | edit source]
Flame's first action was to climb on top of an extremely large computer with Kranxx, away from the Ta'har. However, they were spotted by one, who climbed up to fight them. Which no powers to use to defend himself, Flame attempted to reason with him, but this didn't work for obvious reasons. Instead, Kranxx built a machine gun and blasted away the first Ta'har with it, but others climbed up to replace him. Flame formed a finger-gun with his fingers and pretended that it actually works like User Kon's, but the Ta'har simply side-swept him off the computer to fall to his doom. Before he could hit the ground though, Flame was saved by the Caged Gorilla, who jumped out of his cage to catch him as he fell. Looking up, Flame saw that Kranxx had been lifted off the computer by Dennis and put on a ceiling lamp, but he was under attack yet again. Flame communicated to the Caged Gorilla his desire to help out, so it let him climb on top of a giant missile on the back of its cage which was then fired at the lamp. Before it exploded, Kranxx jumped off the lamp and Flame was blown across the room, landing on a drawer handle and having the wind knocked out of him. He slumped off it and landed on the floor, but was helped up again by Carrots.
After the Ta'har surrendered, Goldenn Flame was asked by Tahar'va to allow her to inspect the corpses of the Ta'har that fell, in order to determine whether her father was one of them. Flame agreed, and accompanied her to where most of the bodies were after picking up a Ta'har sword. When Flame's back was turned, Tahar'va poured an oily substance over two of the corpses, the armor of which melted away and turned into Chainlingtons. Shocked, Flame forgot about Tahar'va and went to call for help, which gave her the opportunity to drive her sword through his back. Goldenn Flame mused over feeling pain for the first time, and died.
When the cabin crashed on Meme World, Goldenn Flame was one of the people who the crash survivors mourned for during a ceremony. Before he could be buried however, GregF appeared again in a flash of light, and immediately went to inspect Flame's body. He made a cut, reached inside and pulled out a strange piece of technology which was embedded in his back, something that real Users do not have. Greg revealed that, during his absence, he paid a visit to the real Golden Flame on the User World, who was driven insane by his power and locked up in an asylum. Before the crash survivors could ask Greg where the imposter came from, he disappeared, leaving them to ponder the mystery of Goldenn Flame.
