Vash the Stampede (?????????????? Vasshu za Sutanp?do) is the main character, also known as The Humanoid Typhoon and the first person to be declaired "an act of God". He was initially discovered by Meryl and Milly imprisoned by some bandits who wanted to collect on the $$60 billion bounty on his head. He escapes, and Milly and Meryl eventually learn that this is the person they are supposed to track.
Vash presents an interesting "hero" for this kind of story: a crybaby and a pacifist, and occasionally an apparent buffoon. He is in fact extremely intelligent, has demon-like reflexes, perfect muscle control, blurring speed over short distances, and is an unrivaled gunman who seeks to preserve life wherever possible. It is possible he exaggerates his foolish characteristics to make people feel unthreatened and to hide his identity. In fact Vash shows focus and complete control when the chips are down and when attacking. It is likely Vash is actually scared in most of his fights, because he usually has no intent of shooting back, and only evades the opponent's attacks. He also has an almost obsessive love of doughnuts.
He lost his left arm in an incident involving Knives (his brother), and as a result, he possesses a prosthetic arm that transforms into a gun at the hand. Vash is in fact not a human, but a human-like "plant," a source of power and energy on the planet; as a Plant, he can, with his gun, turn his right arm into an amazingly destructive weapon called an "Angel Arm," originating from technology which Knives created. His supposed age is 131.
He is superhumanly agile, demonstrating the ability to dodge bullets on several occasions.
His gun resembles a Mateba Autorevolver because of the lower barrel alignment but, according to writing on the barrel, fires .45 Long Colt ammunition like a Single Action Army. The inscription on his gun reads; "EF Auto Ejecting Double Action".
Vash the Stampede makes a cameo appearance in Wild ARMs 2.

Someone dressed up as the Purple tentacle (who was a character in an early lucasarts game (he was evil)) in a vash the stampede costume (anime character from Trigun - a big crybaby/superhero).

Clear as mud?

*me boots prof for being deliberately dense :evilcool:
 
part of why i like that tentacle/vash cosplay so much is because it is a bad vash costume... and so many people have the worst vash costumes at that convention >_<

edit: though it's not nearly as bad as some, and pretty damned good for being made to tentacle proportions.
