Get to Know: DanIsNotOnFire & AmazingPhil

Ah, the love able idiots. Here we go! But first:

Get To Know Dan:

Dan Howell, better known on the internet as DanIsNotOnFire, is a vlog-style YouTuber who records himself talking about experiences and other things that he knows of, then posts them on YouTube. (In case you didn't know, vlog means video-blog.) He posts an average of one video every two weeks. 

Dan is 23 years old, and currently lives in London with his best friend Phil. He is 6'3, and many hilarious stories ensue because of the his awkward height. He likes lots of video games, including Bioshock and Halo, along with lots of classics. Studio Ghibli also played a big role in his life from a fairly young age.
 

Get To Know Phil:

Phillip Lester, better known on the internet and radio as AmazingPhil, is also a vlogging-style YouTuber. His videos lean more in the innocent/funny direction than Dan's cynical, self-deprecating humor. Phil posts about three to four videos a month, but you can sometimes expect them a few times every couple of weeks! 

Phil Lester is a lovable 28-year-old, who doesn't look anywhere near 28. He loves anime and Studio Ghibli just as much, if not more than, Dan. He and Dan live in a flat in London, England, and share their daily routines with each other. They're absolute best friends. 

Honorable Mentions:

Dan and Phil are part of what many of the British YouTube fandom calls the "fearsome foursome." This includes DanIsNotOnFire, AmazingPhil, Crabstickz, and KickThePJ.

Welcome To Night Vale - Pilot

\\\Welcome To Night Vale - Pilot

http://youtu.be/Ujksjzqrhys <-- Pilot Episode

     "Welcome to Night Vale is a podcast about a friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale." - Common Place Books

     The podcast is about a fictional desert community called Night Vale, where strange happenings occur. It is narrated by Cecil Palmer, a resident of Night Vale who hosts the city's radio show, in his booth at the Night Vale Community Radio building. It is updated twice-monthly in the form of a radio broadcast, and is currently at episode 61. More are scheduled to be produced soon. 

In the pilot episode, a beautiful Latino scientist comes to town to study the strange happenings that occur there. A new dog park opens that nobody is allowed to enter, save for mayor Pamela Winchell and the City Council. Cecil provides a helpful color guide to helicopters, and what they mean. 

CHARACTERS:

Cecil Palmer: Cecil Gershwin Palmer is the narrator of Night Vale, as well as the city's radio host. He technically has no definite character description, but most of the fan community agrees that he has white hair, an extra purple eye at the center of his forehead, squid tentacle tattoos on his forearms, and glasses. 

Carlos: Carlos has no last name. In the first episode of Night Vale, he comes to the desert town to study the strange happenings, and has no idea when he will leave. Cecil describes him with "dark and delicate skin, a voice like caramel with oaky tones, and a strong square jaw." His hair is black with a "distinguished touch of" gray. 

Hooded Figures: The hooded figures are the things that rome the dog park, and the reason we can't go in. If they take your children, do not resist. Let them. 

     And, as it is and always will be: Goodnight, Night Vale. Goodnight.

KILLJOYS:

Well, as good as he can, considering the fact that they fight for their lives on a daily basis. He, along with the other outlaws, wants to bring back creativity to the citizens of Battery City and the surrounding Zones. 



Fun Ghoul: Fun Ghoul is the most rebellious rebel you'll ever meet. Best friend and second-in-command of Party Poison, he would kill every Draculoid that BLI could offer. Decked out in black, green, and yellow, he carries a matching laser gun, and often uses Kobra's when the Killjoys are being chased by BLI. 



Kobra Kid: Party Poison's kid brother. Both being originally from the destroyed Zone 6, neither has a home or a family, except for the other rebels and Dr. Death Defying's place. With hair slicked back and clad in red, Kobra Kid is known for his ruthlessness and quick efficiency. 



Jet Star: Jet Star is the peacemaker of the group. He has long brown hair, and often wears aviators from before the crisis that brought BLI into power. His suit is black, and his laser gun is blue. 



ETC.:

Dr. Death Defying: Dr. Death Defying is a companion of the Killjoys. He runs an illegal pirate radio station that plays the Killjoys songs, and often airs the traffic report. He's got long, stringy hair, and sometimes wears sunglasses.
