The Meal is from Portugal, but his mother was mail-ordered from Vietnam sometime after the conflict. His first words were "Bucu bucu."
SuperHiro is - as you should have been able to tell - from Hiroshima, Japan. He doesn't actually speak English, but has one of those nifty translation programs.

Seriously: who could try and absorb their unknowable brilliance.

Otherwise, the best RTS is Freedom Force. Or is it an RPG?
