List of X-Play Characters - "D" Characters

"D" Characters

• Melanie Daniels: One of the main characters in The Birds of Anger, a short film produced by Gregg Bishop for the 2011 Epictober Film Festival. The story takes the basic concepts from the mobile game Angry Birds and re-tells it in the style of Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds; Melanie is visiting her new boyfriend Mitch, when his neighbor Annie shows up and brings them a basket of fresh eggs (which she stole from a nest in a nearby tree). Soon, a large number of black crows and white doves appear, seeking revenge.

First Appearance: Episode No. 20111026

Performed by: Melanie Daniels (Amanda Baker), Mitch Bacon (Cameron Barsanti), Annie (Jaimie Alexander)

• "Dante": see Dante's Hairclub for Demonslayers

• Dante's Hairclub for Demonslayers: A parody of the old Cy Sperling informercials, featuring hairstyles that would fit right into the Devil May Cry universe.

First Appearance: Episode No. 20080205

Performed by: "Dante" (Unknown), Joshua Sark, Sr. (Unknown), Kwame Brown (Jonathan Solin), "Tim" the Thai massage therapist (Unknown)

• Darth Fanboy: An evil Star Wars fan who tried to kill Adam after he gave a 2 out of 5 score to Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast; only the swift hand of Jedi Morgan Windu (Morgan claiming to be the widow of Mace Windu, who won her late husband's signature purple lightsaber during their divorce hearing) saved him from imminent destruction. The character later appeared at a Star Wars convention, where Lando Sessler - Adam in a fashionable Lando Calrissian cosplay outfit - was again spared death; only this time, Morgan needed the help of Ratty Puppet to finish off the evil fanboy.

First Appearance: Episode No. 173

Performed by: Darth Fanboy (Jason Cheung), Morgan Windu (Morgan Webb), Lando Sessler (Adam Sessler)

• "Darth Vader": see Emperor

• "Walter Day": see Kong-Net

• Private Dick-Fart: see Private Ball-Bag

• The Disembodied Voice: The unseen X-Play announcer, who would pipe in at the beginning of each show about forthcoming segments in the episode and (including when the show returned from commercial breaks) state totally nonsensical introductions for Adam and Morgan (such as Now with 30 percent less coolness, it's Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb! and Four out of five doctors recommend Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb!). At one point, fans of the show could write their own "Disembodied Voice Intros" and submit them via a special thread on the official X-Play message boards, with a chance to have them read on the air. The character was popular enough to have his own IMDB entry. After the original performer left (final broadcast took place on March 8. 2005), a brief series of "Voice Auditions" commenced before eventually being claimed by the announcer for Attack of the Show! (NOTE: Once the original Disembodied Voice was replaced, the role of the announcer for comedic purposes was progressively scaled back on the show, to the point where the co-hosts would no longer respond to his intros or even react to them; in fact, starting with the February 17th, 2009 episode, the Disembodied Voice has apparently been discontinued altogether, as both Adam and Morgan have now taken over all announcing duties during commercial breaks and the closing of each episode).

First Appearance: N/A

Performed by: Original (voice of Jason Frankovitz), Disembodied Voice #2 (voice of Brendan Hermes)

• Diver: see Cyborg Pirate

• The "Domestic Heroes": In a skit during the show's Comic-Con 2012 coverage (entitled Lego Batman 3: Domestic Heroes), "Batman" and "Superman" are forced to become roommates (Bruce doesn't like the word "co-habitate") in order to help their performance in the game. The problem is that Superman considers the Caped Crusader to be "terrible at keeping a chore schedule", while Batman finds the Man of Steel to be a "boyscout" (plus he uses a pickle made of Kryptonite when he catches Superman trying to steal his lunch from Jerry's Deli).

First Appearance: Episode No. 20120712

Performed by: "Batman" (Unknown), "Superman" (Unknown)

• "Donkey Kong": see Kong-Net

• Doug: see "Mercer, Alex"

• "Dovahkiin": The main protagonist of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim appears in a parody of the television show Hoarders (entitled Skyrim Hoarders). The skit starts off with a message that "Compulsive Loot Hoarding is a mental disorder marked by an obsessive need to loot and keep things, even if the items are worthless, hazardous, or unsanitary" ; however, the Dragonborn does not believe that he has a problem, stating that items such as "a worthless wooden plate from underneath a dismembered corpse" and "twenty three copies of History of the Empire Part Six" are a part of his "cave full of treasures" (he counters that Smaug never received grief for his treasures).

First Appearance: Episode No. 20120206

Performed by: Unknown
