Walter von Schönkopf is a character from the Legend of Galactic Heroes series.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Walter was born in the totalitarian, pseudo-Prussian Galactic Empire, but his family fled to the Free Planets Alliance when the boy was six. His career in the military and his background as an exile of the Empire saw him recruited into the Rosenritter - a special infantry regiment as famed for its combat strength as it was distruted for the unpleasant tendency of its men to betray the Free Planets Alliance for a ticket back into the Empire.

Schönkopf and the Rosenritter would later become integral to the plans of 13th Fleet Rear-Admiral Yang Wen-li to capture the Imperial Iserlohn Fortress after Yang had seen Walter defending a bar waitress from several overly amorous Alliance officers. Despite of six preceding failures to take the fortress by significantly stronger Alliance fleets, the Walter and the Rosenritters managed to infiltrate Iserlohn by posing as wounded Imperial soldiers; acting like the proverbial Trojan horse for Yang whose main force subsequently managed to take the fleet without so much as a single casualty on his side.

Walter had a slightly vain air to him, but his most prominent weakness is that towards the fairer sex - especially if the latter happens to be good-looking. As expected, this brought him into more trouble than most people would deem reasonable, but Walter was a man of his principles, and pretty girls were one of them.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Walter likely debuted all the way back in 8chanmania XVII, although nothing beyond him partaking there has survived history.

Presumably busy being fabulous, Walter would ony reappear in 8chanmania LXXXIII, where he promptly got glassed by Noble Six.

Walter formed a tag team with his old buddy Yang Wen-li for 8chanmania LXXXVII. They performed admirably in their first round against Lupin III and his stolen Gundam Rose (with Walter notably wooing Lupin's old flame Fujiko), but then had a nightmare of a match against Fleece Johnson and M&F Guy. Not only did the M&F Guy survive a critical submission move by Walter, they lost the whole fight mere seconds later when Yang tapped out in a lip-lock by Johnson.

Once more part of the Yang Gang, Walter took his last chance in 8chanmania XCVIII. He did not understand Yang's surprise when their first opponents were none other than Adolf Hitler and little girl, but this did not prevent the latter from first defeating the galacting heroes and then inviting them to a beer. Their team would additionally appear in a sideshow match against King Harkinian and Dr. Robotnik (who still was stuck in his green fairy boy costume), but this likewise ended in failure when Schönkopf tapped out in a Nightmare press of Robotnik.


Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Translated from German, Walter's last name literally means "Beautyhead/Beautiful Head" and he commands the "Rose Knights". This is why Japanese should not be allowed near German words.
