I'm playing Final Fantasy 7 at the moment (the PS4 port of the PC port of the PS1 game). I just thought I'd google the bit where sweet innocent naive little Aeris threatens to rip the mafia boss's cock off, and this was the search result it gave me

#4: Roy Orbital #3: Servalo Glitch #2: Icosa Hedron #1: {verification_error}

Roy Orbital

Anointed as Emoticorp’s official Mood Of The Year seventeen years running, Roy Orbital is able to trace his decillionaire lineage all the way back to some originating 20th century myth-shrouded millionaire. Though Roy’s authenticity is unquestioned, the true nature of his undoubtedly impassioned soul remains contested. Described by accepted and condoned critical analysis as alternately unfathomable, inexplicable and insoluble, Roy Orbital is the paradoxical conundrum of the decillionaire caste, his evergreen image of affected alienation simultaneously popular with screaming teenagers desperate to be misunderstood and wistful decrepitudes yearning for the nostalgic pleasures of misremembered old times.

Servalo Glitch

Having started his eponymous investment empire with little more than a single € in his hand, a billion Eurodoll education, and the extralegal support of his father’s syndicated crime monopolies, Servalo Glitch became the third richest man of all time in a little over 11111.11111 days, his return on investment yielding an impressively constant 1% growth on all fiscal assets under his control, measured against any and all timescales, whether yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, minutely, secondly, subsecondly, or subsubsecondly.

While some critics have suggested this mathematical impossibility is proof of potential financial irregularities in Servalo’s investment methodologies, others have confirmed it.

Icosa Hedron

Unlike most previously accepted search engine paradigms, Icosa Hedron’s self-proclaimed genius lay in his decision to pivot from providing answers to incoming user queries into supplying further questions instead. In the subsequent information cascade, even the most rational individual could be radicalised into frothing red-faced fury within ten incremental question escalations by the Just Ask query engine.

Though JA.qu is itself a loss-making enterprise, Icosa makes up the shortfall in residual income from his gold-plated cryptotestosterone supplement retail empire and cruise ship/pension embezzlement ventures.

Father of fifteen, father at fifteen, winner of World’s Fastest Executive Firing three times in the last seven years, proud owner of the entire remaining edible population of Chilean flamingos. His murder convictions were recently annulled on appeal, due to the bankruptcy of the Calizona Criminal Justice Department mid-trial.

Although it has long been rumoured that Rex Detroit is scared of heights, any such public suggestion of these facts is prosecuted to the full extent of the prevailing jurisdiction’s civil, criminal and corporate protectionist laws.

Tranq Recoil

Born Tranquility Recollection III, the astonishing mundanity of his business, wealth and family history caused him to overcompensate with his own personal rebrand. Tranq Recoil likes energy usage, noise production and extreme movement activities.

To aid his public performances, Tranq's body has been enhanced in various ways. Available adrenal glands have been expanded from 2 to 256, his blood has been replaced by a high density glucose/caffeine suspension, while subdermal coils allow for the extraction of electrical energy from nearby power sources. His teeth are rumoured to be disguised methamphetamine capsules and his clothes are made exclusively from cocaine.

Billy Sevvvs

Billy Sevvvs, born Several Williams I, c.1823, has, as of today, fully outlived 13 generations of his direct descendants. He attributes his longevity to a lack of enjoyment in all things except the suffering of others.

Through his MegaMorgue® monopoly’s research and development programmes, Billy Sevvvs is the leading authority in necrocryptology, necrocurrency, necrofungibility, necrobiotics, necronarcotics, necropreservation, necrofermentation, necroresuscitation, necrosustenation, necroplastination, necrotransportation, necroteleportation, necromotivation, necromanipulation, necromechanisation and necromonetisation.

Nietzsche And The Hole (a comic) (for some reason, this was longlisted for the observer/jonathan cape short comic competition thing they used to do, and still might do who knows. also i have no idea how many things were on the longlist, so it might have been one of 6 million or something on there)

Panel 1: Nietzsche looked into the whole
Panel 2: And the hole looked back
Panel 3: And kept looking back
Panel 4: Until Nietzsche looked away
Panel 5: And walked all the way home
Panel 6: In the rain

Panel 1: Nietzsche tried all night to think of other things
Panel 2: But he could not
Panel 3: And so the next day he found himself walking down the hill
Panel 4: In the rain. Again
Panel 5: Just so he could look into the hole
Panel 6: In the hope that the hole would look back. (Again)

Panel 1: Nietzsche liked the hole, and wanted to be friends
Panel 2: And learn everything there was to learn about the hole
Panel 3: But this time the hole did not look back
Panel 4: The hole just wanted to be left alone
Panel 5: And wondered why people were always looking into it
Panel 6: And exploring its depths, as if that was their right

Panel 1: So now the hole ignored Nietzsche, and looked up at the sky
Panel 2: And kept looking up at the sky
Panel 3: For as long as it would take
Panel 4: For Nietzsche to leave it alone
Panel 5:
Panel 6: (But Nietzsche was very persistent)
