Algernon

''“Look, from my faded memories I KNOW YOU BEING DUMB AND SMART IS NOT YOUR THING. Big IQ only brings sadness but Low IQ is just outright confusion. I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND I BEEN THERE TOO, but what if INSTEAD OF DYING OUT HERE A FAKE MAN. We relieve the after effects of your experiment… WITH THE WAYS OF THE HOOD, WHAT DO YOU SAY 68 IQ CHARLIE?”'' -Algernon's First Human Words after Revival

Algernon the II (The Most Known Incarnation) is a recurring character in the ZNA series. He is a supernatural lab mouse with the Stand ¨Za Warudo¨, an almost identical version to Dio Brando´s. He is the somewhat adoptive brother to Vance Miller and Reggie Miller, and like Vance has been a strong member of the Zeamy Gang since Season 3. He is well known for his constant nostalgia of Season 3, his controversiality, love of Wendys, and his expertise at solving Mazes. Throughout his prominence in the series, despite not being very heroic in nature he has always been depicted as on of the heroes. However, following the Algernon Saga, the relationship between Vance and Algernon is strained and through an accident sending Algernon to Florida, Algernon becomes something of an antagonist as he becomes friends with Donald Trump again.

Appearance
Algernon is a small laboratory mouse. Despite his notoriety, he doesn't share a distinct appearance among other lab mice and can easily be mistook. Like most lab mice though he is Albino due to it being a recessive gene among thousands of generations, aiding scientific experiments so it can reduce the number of unknown variables. Like most Lab Mice he has red eyes and a long tail. In Early Seasons Algernon was portrayed by multiple types of mice but since Chapter 2 it has stayed consistent to a definite lab mouse.

Personality
Algernon is a cocky, brash, over the top, and asserting character. He is also very ¨savagery¨ due to his experience in the hood and his confidence with his powers. He has a much friendlier side to some of the Zeamy Gang, but other than them he is not quick to make friendships and will usually start a commotion. He has a constant hate for Maki, it once got so bad he sets up a plan to have her kidnapped for days by her infamous simp, Darwin.

Algernon is quite careless and indifferent. While a part of the Zeamy Gang he is rarely seen in the action and hero business due to his controversial nature. He is sometimes labeled as a ¨Plot Device¨ due to his ability being able to easily change the nature of a battle. He is also quick tempered, as the slightest of remarks can make him consider ¨pulling a massacre¨ and he loves to assert dominance.

Algernon did once have an insecurity, as in his eyes, he was not fulfilling his original purpose of simply eating cheese and following the orders of Strauss. This is vanished by the time he sees a familiar face after decades, Burt Seldan, who he resonates with due to him being the only one still known alive from when he was still a simple rodent.

Stand
Algernon has the stand ¨Za Warudo¨, a glorified version of the ¨Za Warudo¨ Dio Brando Possesses. Like Dio, his Za Warudo is super strong, super fast, and quite precise. Its biggest difference though is the Time Stop Hax. Dio in his time could only stop time for a certain amount of seconds, it would increase as he used it but at his known peak it was only up to about 10-20 seconds. Algernon's Za Warudo on the other hand has seemingly infinite time stop. His Za Warudo can time stop for as long as his mouse body can handle it, which in ZNA has been shown to surpass Dio´s Time Stop. Of course the longer the Time Stop, the more strain it puts on him, and if held too long can lead to his own demise. Like Dio's Stand, the Stand Cries out "Muda" multiple times when it barrages.

It is one of the most powerful abilities in the ZNA Universe. Despite having such a stand that could easily nullify a lot of tense and desperate situations the main heroes get into, the narrative balances it out well by Algernon's own personality and lifestyle. Due to this Algernon doesn't find himself beating villains most of the time, and usually arguing with his peers, or ¨causing massacres¨. While the stand is unstoppable, its weakness is from Algernon himself. Due to his small stature he relies much on Time Stop so he can analyze a situation properly and act accordingly. The Stand is not automatic and works on Algernon's actions, so if he is in a situation where he can't use time stop, he is usually left to attack vigorously with no aim(which still works because the stand is quite strong but it is not efficient).

Image Through Peers
Algernon through his main familiarity, the Zeamy Gang, isn’t respected or taken seriously due to his own morality and shenanigans of the past. The infamous “Why Did Algernon [insert issue] do this" was made for mostly comedic situations where gangers pin the blame on Algernon and due to his “controversial” nature the specific ganger would usually believe them or put the idea on the table. Some gangers respect him due to him being an OG, he sometimes plays with Dru, usually gets along with Oboma, is cool with Zeamy, and formerly was on great terms with his brother Vance, but most of the time he is seen as a shackle.

Some of the Gangers find him as disposable, seen through the multiple times they root and cheer in moments of Algernon’s harm, specifically some of them voting for Ronald at first in the “Algernon Saga”. As a Given, the gang find him troublesome enough to not want him ruining their chances of pardoning. Sometime after March 21st Vance finally informs the gang of what he did to Algernon. When the gang see Algernon after months on Fox News with Trump, most of them laugh and ridicule his new plans, while the rest show concern.

Image Around The World
Unlike the Zeamy Gang, the classic quote "Why would Algernon do [insert the present issue] this" has actually costed him. Due to Algernon's already bad records, it wasn't hard for an amount of protesters to start storming Zeamy's Base. It is revealed in "All Rise for Kumin" that Algernon is labeled as an African American Mouse and of course, known criminal. In “Dreamy with Zeamy” a group of Twitter Stans reveal that Algernon has had experience with being cancelled on the internet, but even through these attempts essentially, like keemstar, you can’t put him down for good. In "Code My Heart Away" it's disclosed that the world starts theorizing on Algernon's stance as a Republican, and even his alliance with Trump. On April 4rd Trump and Algernon directly reveal their alliance and intention to run for 2024 through Fox News.

Trivia

 * Funnily enough Algernon's fight with Ronald McDonald is his first ZNA one on one battle.
 * Ironically Algernon plays a major role in the Zeamy Gang Unlimited Ark, the ark right after the two parter centered and around him
 * Algernon does not take fondly to being called a rat, though he does like to call himself the "Hood Rat" when he exposes others.
 * Algernon and Maki have a known rivalry throughout a majority of the series.
 * This was one of the factors that lead to Vance "betraying" Algernon in Presidential Gangers
 * Technically knowing each other through Ross in Season 2, it’s unknown if the two might have at least got along back in December. It brings the question on if the McDonalds Massacre started their conflict, or if some of it was helped by disagreements back in the “Black Dudes” phase.
 * It is not revealed by Oboma in the car ride to PG Mall but Algernon the 2nd was revived on October 18, 1965 (which was a whole 33 Days from his first Death after the experiment failed).
 * Algernon’s Original Maze has a lot of comical inconsistency in the ZNA series, as a lot of characters have mentioned breaking or desecrating it but somehow when it does appear it looks good as new
 * In the ZNA Universe, Algernon gets Za Warudo about two decades before Dio, technically making him the original ZA Warudo Stand User.
 * Algernon apparently used to slaughter Deers for Breakfast, as in the “DITH” Arc he says this when the Gang meet over the disappearance of Vance at the time.
