Not to be confused with the other janitor.
The Janitor is one of the playable crew members from Space Station 13.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Much like their colleagues down on earth, janitors are responsible for the basic, day-to-day maintenance work required to keep the station somewhat habitable - be it cleaning floors, picking up trash, or replacing broken light bulbs. While this ostensibly may not sound like much of a thrilling or particularly challenging job, the fact that Space Station 13 generally resembles a perpetual disaster area means most janitors assigned to it quickly turn into deeply neurotic individuals who view the other inhabitants of the station with anything from a mild frown to open contempt.
At their best, the often underappreciated work of a janitor can help to maintain a however fragile sense of normalcy (and hygienic standards) on the station. At their worst, a disgruntled janitor may wipe away the blood from a recent murder scene as readily as he will produce new victims by not placing a life-saving 'wet floor' sign in the area once he is done; letting people slide to their slippery doom. It consequently is advised to treat them with at least the barest modicum of respect, for whatever happens on the station, the janitor has to clean it up afterwards.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Season 1[edit | edit source]
The Janitor debuted at some point during the first season, of 8chanmania, but the exact details thereof have been grounded to dust by the wheels of time.
His first recorded appearance was in a pre-show fight prior to 8chanmania XXIV, in which he fought against his eternal nemesis and dropper of banana peels Clown. Sadly, no cleaning agent in this world or the next was going to hep against the honker, and the janitor saw himself forced to tap out.
The janitor appeared in anothe pre-show match prior to 8chanmania x MFW - IN/V/ASION; this time facing WIP. While he won the match and thoroughly cleaned up WIP's code, this actually seemed to strengthen the sentient glitch.
Season 3[edit | edit source]
While not directly participating himself, the Janitor served as a manager for Cleanbot during 8chanmania XCIII.
His own return to the ring only took place in 8chanmania XCV, but not for a lack of effort - the Janitor cleaned up the act of Robbie Rotten, lambasted Markus Kruber over his medieval lack of personal body hygiene, resisted the stomping of Isaac Clarke, and even froze the pace of the new ice age planned by Winter Alto. That it took a giant robot in the form of Gundam Rose to finally put him down should tell you enough.
Outside the Ring[edit | edit source]
Fittingly enough, the janitor not only fights inside the ring, but also has been employed by 8chanmania to keep it clean. The constant spilling of blood, sweat, and the occasional tears makes this a fight against windmills, yet the janitor still pushes on - and vents the resulting frustration on his technical underling Gintoki Sakata.
