[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8269872, member: 7023887"] My submission is Ezra, from the [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leven_Thumps']Leven Thumps book series by Obert Skye[/URL]. Ezra is a maniacally evil animate toothpick that has extreme magical powers and wishes to both rule the two worlds (Earth and Foo, which is a dream-like realm filled with strange fey-like creatures) that created him and kill the person that he was once a part of, who turns out to be one of the main characters of the book series. Ezra can be [URL='https://www.google.com/search?q=leven+thumps+ezra&safe=strict&rlz=1C1ONGR_enUS938US938&sxsrf=ALeKk015E6OuXy_WjjzWbafUX4wjI7UgLA:1620691988093&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjOxfWRrMDwAhVE_J4KHVt0AGwQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1745&bih=852#imgrc=v9fE3x7qcpYWdM']seen here[/URL] (note that one of his legs is made out of part of a paper-clip). I'll give a bit more of a detailed explanation in the spoiler below. [SPOILER] One of the main characters of the series, Geth the Lithen (a native to Foo, similar to fantasy elves in their ability to live many lifetimes, the males tending to have fair long hair, and being somewhat aloof and otherworldly), a calm-minded mentor character in the series, was turned into a seed of a tree by one of the many villains of the series. One of his allies was somehow able to get ahold of the seed before the villain could destroy it, and fled to Earth to plant the tree near the home of the story's main character, who is a [URL='https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheChosenOne']Chosen One[/URL] type of character. The tree eventually grew into a full-sized tree, and was eventually cut down and sold to a toothpick factory, who turned the tree into tons of toothpicks. The part of Geth's soul that was trapped inside the tree was split into two different toothpicks, one of them containing all of Geth's anger, confusion, and fury, and the other toothpick containing the rest of his personality. The toothpick that contained most of Geth's soul was eventually restored to his humanoid form in Foo, while the other toothpick was left behind on Earth. The other toothpick, who named itself "Ezra", chose to direct its rage and anger towards the part of him that accidentally left him behind in the measly form of a toothpick, and swore to take revenge upon his other half by setting out to [I]kill Geth[/I] and conquer both Foo and Reality. [/SPOILER] That's my submission. I can't wait to see what other examples people can list! [/QUOTE]
