50 Video Game Characters: 41

"Oh dear...you wanna fight me?! This is just dreadful!"



41. Kefka Palazzo (Final Fantasy VI)

A lot of people are scared of clowns and for good reason, they just seem like they're insane. The face paint, the antics, it all just culminates into looking like a big fucking bag of crazy. Kefka is all your fears of clowns and also so much more.
In this scenario, "much more" means "magic and the ability to DESTROY REALITY"

See, Kefka is basically an evil magic clown Deadpool. Originally the Emperor's court mage, he took part in a secret experiment which gave him enhanced powers in the magic department and at the same time diminished his powers in the sanity department. While that doesn't sound like the worst thing, keep in mind he already knew magic and was a Nihilist before the experiment.

By the end of the game, his powers are so great that he has successfully destroyed the world and attained godhood, something many anime villains strive for but fail in completing. Kefka, on the other hand, lacks a fully functioning brain and is able to get his shit together long enough to destroy everything everywhere.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, Kefka is fucking nuts. Completely and wonderfully fucking nuts.

Best moment: Becoming a god and fulfilling the Final Fantasy stereotype of having to fight and kill God.
