ASK CRASHBOX CHARACTERS!
Introduction and info
In this ask blog, I'll have some characters from the show Crashbox available for asks! As of right now, there isn't really any ongoing story, but if I feel like it, perhaps I can make a storyline of some sort depending on asks, answers, and all that stuff.
I don't have every single character available for asks, but I think I've got enough. New characters may be added in the future. I have also included my OCs Jade and Gumdrop, as well as my fan-made Johnnie alter ego, Danny Dill. Why isn't Captain Copter here? It's a whole story I don't feel like explaining in its entirety right now, but basically I headcanon that the reason Copter only showed up once in the show is because Johnnie got into a car crash while Copter was taking over, and Copter never came back again after that. Anyhoo!
This ask blog takes place in current day, which means the actual show probably isn't running anymore, but the characters are still alive, well, and hanging around!
Info about fan-made characters
Jade: While the show was running, Rocket adopted Jade when they were a small child, so you can imagine he had his hands full. As Jade grew up, they began to realize who exactly they were and what their true identity was. Rocket was incredibly accepting (and he also blew a fuse when he found out Jade was being bullied in school, it was a whole ordeal). In current day, Jade is 28 now, but they still are very grateful to have Rocket as their adoptive father. Also, they're jealous of the others because they never got to have a minigame when everyone else did because they were too young. Their life goal? They wanna try to find a way to get Crashbox running again so they can finally live out their dream of having their very own minigame just like Rocket and everyone else did.
Gumdrop: This sweet fellow runs his own café/restaurant- The Dream Café! You wouldn't know this upon first glance, but Gumdrop can be one angry cookie. He's very short-tempered, and if you get on his bad side, it is not a pretty sight. He tries to be nice at first and is pretty chill when in a good mood, but as soon as something doesn't go as planned, he's very irritable. Gumdrop doesn't adapt well to change or stressful situations at all. If there's something terrible happening, then chances are Gumdrop will probably close his shop for a few days and not leave his house at all. This is of course a problem for his employees because working is how they earn the money to support their families and such. That's why the employees are urging Gumdrop to stop doing this. Some even go far as to pick him up from his house and take him to his shop. So nowadays, even if Gumdrop is having a rough time, he's still in the shop. Although if he's particularly stressed he won't be working as hard as usual. Gumdrop loves everything soft, pastel, and fluffy. He also hates water because his hair is made of cotton candy, and you know how cotton candy is with water...
Danny Dill: This alter ego of Johnnie's reports on general news, similarly to Dora Smarmy the news anchor. The only difference is Danny's on the radio, and Dora's on the TV. While Captain Copter, Billy Bull, and April Showers all appeared in the show (Copter only appearing once), Danny Dill came around after Crashbox had ended. Some think Danny was a replacement for Captain Copter, but even Johnnie himself isn't sure why Danny is here. Danny's voice is a bit softer and calmer, and in general, Danny is more shy and anxious than the other alter egos. If Danny is taking over outside of Radio KBOX, he likely has headphones on listening to music to try and escape his thoughts and the outside world. Like Johnnie, listening to music is one of his biggest comforts.

Aside from the rules and such, I give you creative freedom to ask (almost) anything you want! It's always been my dream to run an ask blog, and now I'm finally doing it!
Notes
Please keep in mind that asks may not be answered immediately. I've got a life outside of Tumblr! But I will get to it whenever I can!
Not every ask will be answered with digital art. Sometimes I'll answer with paper sketches, sometimes I'll have colored answers on paper, or I could have just digital lineart, it really all depends on my mood while answering.
The show Crashbox is not made by me (obviously). It was made by HBO Family and ran from 1999 - 2000 for 2 seasons. Jade and Gumdrop however are original characters made and designed by me. Danny Dill is a fan-made Jumpin' Johnnie Jumble alter ego that was designed by me. However the character Johnnie himself is from the show and is not mine.
Have fun asking the Crashbox characters! :]
This post will be edited as needed in the future.
Edit: New characters coming soon! Gimme time to draw them up!
