Calypso

From 8chanmania
Jump to: navigation, search

Calypso is the main antagonist of the Twisted Metal and was the organizer 8chanmania: Season 1. Why exactly he pulled this stunt is a secret only Calypso (and perhaps Brendan Fraser) do know, but nonetheless, he revealed himself as the big mastermind of things at the end of 8chanmania XXXIII.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Calypso TM.jpg

Calypso (real name: William Sparks) was born in the United States in 1956, and merrily stole his parent's car to run over a snake at the tender age of twelve. He somehow managed to run over his young sister instead. Deciding that it was a fitting punishment, his parents made him clean up the blood of his own sister from the driveway of their house, and amidst various other psychological breakdowns, the boy somehow came to believe that his sister lived on in his doll. He later wished to join his sister and stabbed his father in the fucking eye while the latter was driving the family car, resulting in both of his parents dying while Calypso remained alive.

William then decided to hitchhike until one truck stopped and offered him a ride. The trucker named Al gave William a job fixing cars in a demoliton derby. Al also shot WIlliam in the arm after finding the boy to be unreasonably attracted to Calypso music, and promptly apologized after sobering up on the next day. He gave William an old car and a helmet to participate in the Derby, as well as giving him the name Calypso.

Calypso spent the next twenty years in the derby, feverishly trying to get himself killed so he could join his sister. Things didn't work out as planned (the only things killed being his opponents and the audience), so Calypso eventually married a woman named Joannie and had a child with her; a girl named Kristie. Joannie later was killed during one of her husband's derbies when a tire flew off and crushed her.

Later still, Calypso went to Hell and found himself chased by demon known as "Minion". He eventually spooked him away with such thoroughness that Satan himself treated Calypso to a drink, transforming the former mortal into the host of the Demolition Derby. All those who failed would have their souls sent to hell. The one, living survivor left standing, on the other hand, was granted a free wish.






8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Calypso only made his presence known after the end of 8chanmania XXXIII; revealing himself to Brendan Fraser and asking him for the one wish he would offer to the several hundred fighters within the series. Fraser answered that the wanted to unJUST the world. The plan was noble, but partially backfired as Fraser's wish effectively created a parallel universe where all things were JUST. Real-space, on the other hand, remained unaffected; creating a whole new dimension for the 8chanmania to take place in alltogether.

Calypso's whereabouts or plans after the first 8chanmania remain unknown.


Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • While Calypso was willing to grant all potential champions of 8chanmania's Season I a wish, recovered audio logs suggest that all of them came with more or less catastrophic drawbacks. The only exception to this was Sly Marbo who would have simply proceeded to beat the crap out of the organizer while yelling his loud "AAAAAAAAAAAA".
