Most people on deviantART have made an Influence Map, so I decided to make one of my own, but in the form of a Station of Awakening.

Here's a Youtube Playlist of them.

And here's a list of what I've got for influence...

1. Superman/Clark Kent (Tim Daily plays the best Superman in the best Superman cartoon)

2. Batman/Bruce Wayne (He's got a tough rouge gallery, and a dark persona, he's the perfect hero)

3. Sora (Kingdom Hearts redefines the way you meet movie characters)

4. Edward Elric (I loved the first and second Fullmetal Alchemist TV shows)

5. Sonic the Hedgehog (He was my favorite video game character who survived 4Kids TV, and that says allot)

6. Megaman/Rock (He's fought so many recycled ideas for superheroes, it's awesome)

7. Meg Griffin (Despite everyone mistreating her, Meg still proves that she can be bad-ass)

8. Cookie Monster (It's rare to find a character that can be loved by BOTH children and adults)

9. Donald Duck (He's angry, short, and violent, VERY violent, but in a funny way)

10. George Washington (Everybody knows the father of our country, but we didn't know about his love to "CHOP WOOD")

11. Sergeant Keroro (It's fun seeing a diminutive alien frog get a boot in his ass for trying to take over the world)

12. Negaduck (He's probably the first-to-last cartoon character that will use a chainsaw)

13. Stan Smith (He's been raised wrong, so we all know he'll do something crazy in the next American Dad episode)

14. Owen & Lindsay (They are both blond, dumb, and gutsy, and they are both unbeatable when they work together)

15. Negi Springfield & Nodoka Myazaki (The little 10 year old wizard/teacher and the shy bookworm, WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOU BOTH)

16. Shinji Ikari & Rei Ayanami (Let's face it, these two were meant for each other, every moment they spent together was unforgettable)

17. Maka Albarn & Soul Eater (Maka proves that not all anime girls have to be hot in order to kick ass, just ask her boyfriend Soul)

18. Homer & Marge Simpson (The way the met and wed was very original, these two have been my favorite couple ever since)

19. Kyle Broflowski (My favorite South Park character might have also been the most heroic)

20. Red Forman (He's a very strict father that can and WILL put a boot in your ass)

21. Bugs Bunny (Bugs has already beaten a hunter, a cowboy, and a freaking alien, he's just too smart)

22. Eddie Riggs (He's not just a guitar hero, he's also a bad-ass demon slayer)

23. Dr. Nefarious (Recurring antagonist for Ratchet and Clank, he's actually not as evil as he claims to be, he's really an idiot)

24. Kenshin Himura (He's a samurai that you wouldn't mind giving a big hug to, children love him)

25. Woody & Buzz Lightyear (The best of buddies in children's movies have been through Hell and back)

26. Simon Pegg & Nick Frost (The best of buddies in R rated movies, they prove that R rated movies can have happy endings)

27. Gabriel Belmont (He's lost so much, but that never seemed to stop him from saving a village and fighting evil)

28. Indiana Jones (In the old movies at least, Jones was a fun, brave, and serious teacher/hero/archeologist)

29. Charles Xavier & Magneto (If 2 people fight, they really care about each other, the way they fought, you'd think they care allot)

30. Memoria (This was the greatest level I've been to in a Final Fantasy game, I wish I explored the whole castle)
