Twinsen is the name of the main character and hero in the computer/video games Little Big Adventure and Little Big Adventure 2 (also known as Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure and Twinsen's Odyssey, respectively).

[edit] Description

He is a quetch (a species resembling a humanoid), easily recognized by his blue tunic, Sendell's medallion around his neck and the notorious ponytail which is an attribute of his species.

Twinsen has been announced by an old legend to be a messiah to save planet Twinsun. The similarities of their names seems to be not much of a coincidence.

[edit] Weapons

Twinsen mainly uses a magic ball as his weapon that bounces like rubber, but in the games there are a variety of other weapons he can use, including a Sabre, a laser pistol, a blowgun, and a glove which can be used to propel certain attacks. The magic ball has also inspired the naming of the predominant LBA community The Magic Ball Network.

Twinsen's magic ball can only make several bounces if he is wearing his tunic loaded with magic energy. If he is without his tunic or is out of magic energy, the ball comes back to him after hitting any surface.

[edit] Marital life

Twinsen has had a long relationship with a blonde female quetch called Zoé. He had to rescue her from Dr Funfrock in the first game and having married her after she got pregnant from him and gave birth in the second game. According to some sources [1], their child is male and is called Arthur.
