#character proposal

YES!!! I've gen spent the last two months thinking about her off and on, especially pre-bfdi Liy.

BPD. Impulsive, adventurous, irritable, resourceful, and curious. She's also willing to offer advice if someone wants it. If you give her a goal, she will tunnel vision for it.

She wants relationships with people who will be there for her. Until the end. She cares deeply about those she is friends with.

Liy is a texture seeker and very hands-on with people. She puts her hand on your shoulder while she talks. Every time. She also shook X's hand and squished it. Discovered the beauty of algebralien texture. I really want her to squeeze One.

Liy is a character I think could make a fun deal with One. Hmmmhm

Absolutely a rough past. She delt with neglect from her guardian(a) that led to her running away and living on the streets as a teenager. She learns to lockpick and some pretty valuable survival skills.

There is a murder at some point. Somebody does, maybe several people. IDK if it's in self defense or not but either way, Liy is a witness. If she is killing anyone it would be in a moment of stress and panic. Thoughts eat her alive after-- gnawing at her head. Guilt, fear, and horror.

Liy leaves the group after that. She had her experiences of feeling unwelcomed but she felt like she had nowhere else to go.

Her group would avoid her when she experienced depressive episodes, paranoia, or anger. Like. Instead of helping her people act like she's a problem or a nuisance or someone to just pity. Sorry she's not neutral or fine all the time?? ??

Okay. Sorry for being a burden, she'll just mask it.

She gets tired of masking. She hates it. God forbid someone expresses themself or looks for help.

That and the deaths lead to Liy searching for somewhere else to go. She's homeless and barely 20. Applying for BFB was a choice to find better conditions and better people.

When the bus picks her up, she sits with Pie! Pie has a few questions and listens intently to everything Liy has to say.

Her new objective is to win BFB and make friends.

Pie is why she joins Death PACT! Liy, Pie, and Black Hole get along well.

Liy has growing frustrations with DPACT. She gets disregarded a lot. Also avoidant when she's experiencing her emotional lows. Liy looks to Pie for advice and Pie kinda. Shuffles awkwardly and tells Liy that she really isn't good at advice.

...okay.

Then there's Bottle. It's always "just keep smiling!!" with Bottle and that is NOT what Liy needs. She has feelings??? Smiling won't stop them!!!! Hello!!!

The episode of her elimination, Liy has a paranoia episode. Listen. She's been ignored and disregarded by the people she loves. Do they actually care about her? Are they just using her to get further in the game? Is it all just an act? For what? What did Liy do to deserve this? She had to've done something.

Pillow is there.

Pillow tells her to embrace her emotions and impulses. Let her feelings FREE!!

Liy's elimination involves a speech. She's angry. She feels thrown out and makes it KNOWN. Pie tries to talk to her and Liy SNAPS. Pie is not exempt from being called out.

She Feels justified in that.

Being in the EXIT worsens Liy's BPD symptoms. She spent 3? years there trying to avoid Four. Leaving the EXIT to explore the wider domain is nerve-wracking and exciting. Liy gets to be adventurous, though a bit wreckless.

Pencil kind of becomes the EXIT leader as time goes on. Pencil has been putting Liy with Match and Stapy more and those two become her GOATs! Stapy and Foldy were short-lived rivals for Liy in BFB. Oh, how things change.

When it comes to THE escape, Liy can tell Match is struggling to lead and takes over for a little bit. They work together with Stapy to gather the necessary material and BOOK IT!!

Escape happens, Bracelety is left behind, and Liy is drawn to the temptation of infinite power: TPOT. Of course Liy wants on-- having infinite power could open up so much to Liy.

As Two and Four take turns reading the votes, Liy watches her dear friends go FLYING into a monsoon, far out of sight.

Nevermind that though. As upset as it makes Liy... She has a new team-- one that cares about her and needs her help so they can all progress.

She and Pen are by far the closest on Bagged. Pen is dealing with anger and Liy is able to relate and offer advice...

The two of them sit and talk while they hide from Four and X. Pen doesn't know how to let his anger out. Liy has been repressing hers and, after TPOT 15, had come to the conclusion that letting anger out is okay. Hiding it isn't. She hasn't felt good when she keeps her mouth zipped. She tells him that she can control when it's good for her to let tha part out.

It's her switch. It's kinda become her signal for I'm not feeling alright OR I'm locked in. Could be both. Take in the context clues.

Pen agrees. Liy encourages him to do it. Cue the scene where Pencil almost hits Pen with her van.

miiiight rework that again ^. I want their dynamic to be a bit different.

During this time, TPOT has a LOT of rising tensions and stress. Liy has trauma from the EXIT and should REALLY be getting help for that.

And she's on this game instead 😮‍💨

Between Black Hole accidentally screwing up Liy's game, the world nearly ending, high tensions everywhere, and the now very real threat of her being eliminated(TPOT 19), Liy's becoming more stressed and paranoid.

Then TPOT 19 happens.

Bad, bad stuff -- TV makes the challenge a battle royale and the world seems to be nearly ending a SECOND time. Liy is given some of Two's power by Four and (accidentally) finds out that she can get MORE of that power by being near someone who died with it. This is because the power seeks out being full.

Liy has never had algebralien power before. Even a sliver of Two's power is too much for most people and she's ALSO in a shit mental state.

But she has to win for Bagged. They can't lose anyone else. SHE can't lose anyone else.

Liy gets a taste of the power. Liy loves it. The Failed Debeuters are in her way. That's right. In the redux, they don't team up with Winner and Price Tag. They just want out of the carnage.

They are in her way, though.

On a power high, Liy goes and attacks them. ALL of the Debeuters are killed by Liy. The link earlier explains it in more detail but Liy refused to feel guilt YET.

She won't let guilt stop her. She has to win. That is what she is here to do. For Bagged. For PEN.

Aemond Targaryen x Reader

Summary: A short piece about love.

May as well be God. They have a power SO intense that the only number with more than them is 2763-- and that's only because 2763 can suppress Algebralien power.

Casual, easy-going, optimistic, tolerant, and friendly! Two gives others several chances, even if they really don't deserve it. Two is either completely in tune or out of touch with what's happening at any given moment.

ADHD friend! Two has their moments of forgetting about their own power.

They crave validation. They find it easy to get attached and difficult to let go.

When Two is hit with extreme emotions, they are hit HARD. They find it very difficult to recover from negative feelings.

Pre-BFDI Two struggles to keep friends. Stuff just kept happening. In wanting to keep friends, and thus being deeply concerned about what others thought of them, they became easy to push around.

I don't know what One's history with Two looks like in canon. All that's for sure is that she was trapped away somewhere but for the redux, I REALLY like the idea of One and Two being friends before that happened. I'm talking close-- possibly best-- friends. One introduced Two to the Equation Playground.

Following the incident, Two felt very mixed. That is-- was?-- their friend, right? One was good to them, wasn't she? Wasn't she??

Their standing with other Algebraliens either is neutral or positive. They weren't particularly close with many-- although it is easy for them to make friends and get along with others. Two hit it off really well with Eight. Eight is chill, easy to be around. Two likes that.

Two and Eight grew close and became QPPs(queer platonic partners!) Unfortunately, like so many times before, something caused them to split up and stop communicating all together. Maybe it has something to do with Fourteen. Right before Fourteen shows his true colors.

This is their last straw. After so many times failed, Two leaves their planet and goes on adventures. They return once or twice-- long enough to see BFDIA and have a WONDERFUL IDEA.

A sudden spark of motivation.

They should host a gameshow........... Aaaand they find something else interesting.

Hosting a gameshow chews at the back of their mind for years until they decide to use their powers to find the contestants of BFDIA-- they'd be loads of fun!!

They land on Earth in time to stop Spongy and Loser from getting ran over by Four. It's BFB!

Four and Two knew each other in the Redux. They weren't friends but they weren't enemies either. So, Four's quote changes from canon--

"What are YOU doing here? D:<"

Two gives Four a joyful wave, doesn't answer his question, and invites people to join TPOT. For now, it's pretty much the same scene as in BFB 16.

X stays behind. For some reason. Two has a chat with them before some BFBers come in and take them back

It takes a lot of reminders from the TPOT contestants to ACTUALLY start the show-- this becomes a running thing.

Two and Gaty get their time together. New friend unlocked!

After BFB ends, Four and X show up looking for something to do. Two offers them a place at the hotel. Four seems OVERJOYED(totally not plotting to use this as a way to get back at Two for taking his contestants!)

Two's toleration REALLY stands out when they're around Four. He's rightfully upset about Two taking over but the way he behaves back would have most done with him. Four and X get to work the kitchen!

Two is quick to swoop in and save the EXITors from Four when they manage to escape him. Two gives Four a good scold for trapping the EXITors like that and then puts them to work in the hotel diner. Dora responds by breaking a window.

Over the course of TPOT, Two becomes sadder and sadder to see competitors go. Two's made friends with and gotten to understand so many of them.

Eliminated contestants that aren't sent to Two's domain are going missing. Being ever the optimist, Two brushes it off, assuring everyone that the eliminated ones are probably somewhere-- they'll be fine and Two'll just send eliminated contestants to their domain quicker from hereon out.

There are consequences to not thinking things through.

Two and Gaty just keep on getting closer. Two eventually brings up QPRs to Gaty around TPOT 12 and Gaty lights up. They are now in a QPR!!

Gaty is eliminated in TPOT 14. Two is heartbroken and sends her away to the kitchen, leaving the contestants under the impression that she was in Two's domain. But, hey! Two can look on the bright side here-- now they can spend more time with Gaty.

This is the longest and best relationship Two has ever had. It's not perfect-- there's some attachment problems to work out, as well as priorities-- but Two is really happy for once.

TPOT 15: Seasonal Shift.

The timeline is fucked up and Two doesn't know how or why. It's fixed, not by the contestants but a force Two can't perceive, and a few changes carry over. Marker is green, there's a big crack in the sky---

A few changes?

Two RUSHES to the kitchen. It's a mess-- bags are sprawled everywhere, some utensils, and lots of food.

No sign of Gaty.

Shit.

Two snaps their fingers over and over, falling to the ground and covering their face, trying not to cry. Nothing is working. Gaty is gone, it's like she never existed in the first place.

Oh GOD. She never..

Two is left alone again and they can't take it.

Two completely shuts down. It's X who finds them in the kitchen and takes them to their room. Fanny and Ice Cube set up shop in there shortly after.

Two blocks it all out. They stare at their ceiling. They can't bring themself to move.

X brings Two food sometimes. Two doesn't eat until they're alone but it's not enough. They can feel their power draining and they just. Don't care anymore.

What's the point in going on if everything they love will be lost again and again?

May I present to you

Fan

hehe

*points* there! The angry one!!

I cannot tell you why she applied for BFB because I have no answer to that.

She and Ice Cube both have a resting bitch face. No, she is not angry all the time. It is just her neutral expression and we all love her for that

Fanny's jaded, especially for someone her age. Whatever life was like for her before BFB, it was not a good one-- but she pushed through.

"We are all worthy of hate." Yes ma'am.

Spiteful, harsh, critical, introspective, and cynical. She stands by her values and is more than ready to debate when necessary-- this makes her an enlightening conversationalist, however, she isn't very popular amongst the crowd because of her harshness.

Fanny believes in change. Anyone can become worse or better but nobody can change unless they want to.

She values life and improvement. She knows things and people are complex.

She was the one who named Iance by saying "We aren't all in your alliance."

Fanny's here to watch the downfall of what's left of FreeSmart.

Fanny does NOT sit aside and let all that happens to Bubble and Ruby slide. She scolds Pencil before Pencil is eliminated and ends up being the one to comfort Bubble while Match takes charge.

Bubble is tolerant, Fanny'll give her that--- but she tolerates the wrong things, and Fanny can see how it's making her BREAK. Fanny goes as far as talking to Bubble about her feelings.. but the confronting of Match shouldn't be up to Fanny.

When Bubble does stand up for herself again, it results in a short but loud and angry argument. Ruby tries to separate them but Fanny stops her, telling her that Bubble needs this.

Match is eliminated shortly after-- Bubble and Ruby both seem to be different people with her gone. It's interesting to Fanny.

Snowball is an asshole. Fanny cannot stand him.

Switching to TPOT was, like many others, a choice made to get away from Four. She does not understand why Bubble or Ruby decided to stay behind.

Joining Death PACT Again was... A choice alright!! With Snowball splitting off(good riddance), Fanny and Lightning decide to stick together.

Black Hole. Hhhughhh. It refuses to kill at all. It's.. not a problem until it is. He's non-violent. That's okay but in TPOT's setting, it has DRAWBACKS. The competition is unforgiving. You have to get dirty if you want to play and it's clear Black Hole does! (<- they want Two's power to prevent death and do good! Shocker!)

They will not kill, even in self-defense, even if someone's quality of life is taken into consideration.

As the PACT's leader, everyone listens to them. But Fanny is defiant-- . Black Hole needs to WAKE UP.

Tree getting stuck in the canal does not help. He was a huge reason why BH was able to keep things balanced-- they were

Probably going to change how Fanny loses her mouth. Redux!Pin has had experience with that and.. it's not nice to be silenced. Perhaps Fanny criticizes the wrong person-- maybe Robot Flower with the state she's in or Four.

Fanny and BH's conversation in TPOT 10... I think about that. TPOT 10 will be an episode for exposition on Black Hole's backstory and where he and Fanny finally talk.

Fanny'll probably tell it her exact though: it is too focused on the death prevention and needs to consider creating trust and competing, or why else is it still in the game?

They come to a compromise.

Rather than painfully cutting Tree down, I'll find a different solution. I swear. When Tree is recovered, he has to do some physical therapy because he was stuck motionless for so long.

Fanny is having trouble without a mouth. She hasn't learned sign of any kind and does Not like being suppressed.

New teams happen-- Gaty and Pin join Death PACT Yet Again.

There is a number who isolated and teleports Fanny to a strange place .. and offers Fanny a new mouth.

Like Fanny would trust that.

This number, One, tells Fanny that they have aaaaall the time in the world. Fanny grows impatient-- she wants out-- but the only way out is to sign a deal. A favor, strange.

Fanny signs.

Why doesn't she tell anyone??? She's got other priorities: Winning the challenges and dealing with Robot Flower-- who joined DPACTYA after they won a challenge.

Some team notes while I'm here-- Fanny finds Gaty to be very reliable and Pin's a good leader. She really takes to the role as Tree.. hasn't been feeling up for it since the canal and Black Hole is stepping back.

TPOT 15. Dude. Fanny was STRESSED that episode. REALITY almost fell apart. Do you know how hard it is to grasp that? Everything turning to nothing? She doesn't even care that they lost the challenge at that point What the Fuck.

Rigjt at the end, she and Icecube see One. Fanny knows One is behind this somehow but wants to gather evidence before presenting it to Two.

While talking to Icecube, Fanny makes connections. Others who got deals, contestants who went missing, and weird happenings like the team swap... things aren't adding up.

And Two is in some weird state, bedrotting. They don't seem to hear Fanny when she tries talking to them but there's signs of activity off and on. Fanny may've caught Two moving once, but it was to throw a bag aside, and then go still again.

???????

Fanny tries going to Four and X. Fanny tries going to contestants. Nobody is doing ANYTHING about One and Fanny realizes it's because One's silenced her.

Not in the same way as losing her mouth-- but,,, Fanny's writing and evidence is nonsense to all who see it. Fanny's words are nothing when she brings up One.

Fanny is ticked off when Four shows up and just. Unscrambles everything and realizes that One is here. What took you so long, man? Could you do that this whole time? You only care now that the world is FALLING APART again? Why does Four only do anything when the situation's hit it's peak? Dude????

Alas, Fanny doesn't have enough time to throw those questions at Four-- they just gave her a silver of Two's power and she has NO idea how to control it

Not that she gets. Achance to learn either-- Pencil tears her apart for the challenge.

I wish there was time to explore Fanny and Icecube stuff 😭😭😭

Canon Dora is underrated. I love her.

Dedicated and loyal, skilled, sentimental, and collected.

Dora cares immensely about positive relationships. It breaks her heart when she loses them.

Receptively bilingual. She speaks her home country's language(Insulăvoric) and understands English while her cousin speaks both languages.

Dora has pica and has been managing it since she was a child. She had medication and therapy to help her handle it when she was young and continued medication into adulthood but was forced to stop when she entered the EXIT.

Who's her cousin? David. It's David.

David and Dora come from the redux's equivalent of Davidland. Currently calling it Clayland, this may change. Just know that everyone there is made of clay.

One thing you'll see with Claylanders is that they are a closed off community. They don't take well to change or new faces and expect you to stay where you grew up. However, there are some ambitious individuals who don't want that and they're treated poorly.

This is the case with Dora and David. David was willing to conform but Dora wasn't. She wanted to see the world outside of her hometown and got David involved.

Sharing this news got them scorn and scolding. It also lead to them being outcasted after David came home from BFDI. Dora said fuck it and they both left for BFDIA, with only Dora getting in and David growing bitter.

Dora wishes David didn't blame her for the way they were treated. Their close bond was broken. They go on low contact with conversations being uncomfortable at the least.

Dora REFUSES to go back to Clayland. She leaves BFDIA after her elimination and takes a job elsewhere in Goiky. Dora doesn't come back until she's invited to co-host an episode.

Dora may have part of an early episode dedicated to her in IDFB.. I think she'd be one of the characters who leaves after BFDIA.

When she's invited back for BFB, Dora doesn't turn the offer down or ignore it!!

Dora helps a lot during challenges while she's on Bleh. They're a mess in early BFB.

Dora is shocked when she's eliminated. She helped with so many challenges for her team while they were focused on bickering and mending and even flirting. She sat there through it all, a listener with Teardrop, a good competitor, and the one time they lose, she's the one out.

It's not fair.

But Dora can't bring herself to be angry.

Disappointed, sure.

But angry? No. At the end of the day, BFB is a competition show-- this is just the way things are.

When Four casts her to his domain, she expects to be out eventually. It.. may be a minute because there's so many contestants-- and a rejoin may happen. It happened with Leafy.

So Dora waits. And waits. And waits.

A month, maybe two passes. In that time the EXIT fills, Loser and Spongy escape after the whole group tries to, BFB splits, and then nobody ever comes back.

Four years of this.

In this time, Dora grows close to 8-Ball and Firey Jr.

Firey Jr is a kid. A teenage boy. Dora knows he went through something before joining BFB but he never opens up about what. And Dora doesn't ask.

She's just there. By his side. Trying her best to keep Four away from him. 8-Ball helps with this too. They aren't perfect.

Dora and 8-Ball pretty much act as Firey Jr's guardians.

She has to stay strong.

Especially with the group growing braver, leaving the classroom when Four isn't there to check on them. Stress is high during these periods and Dora won't let it control her. She can't get distracted.

The one time she did, Firey Jr and 8-Ball nearly got caught and died.

Never again.

David is also at the EXIT. He and Dora are forced to work together sometimes and it. May become an argument in Insulăvoric. They eventually get along well again.

The EXITors are all kind of? Tense? For the most part. They're all one another have but they don't. All quite get along outside of the classroom. But they all care for one another.

Escaping the EXIT is terrifying and relieving.

What's not okay is Two taking all of the EXITors and putting them to work at the hotel. Without their agreement.

The door out. Is locked! That's. WOW!!!

Dora breaks a window to escape. Two comes over to check out the damage as some EXITors ask to join the game. Dora thought about it and eventually decided that yeah. Sure, why not? What would happen if they weren't let in anyways?

The votes are cast and revealed during a storm. Two lets Four host the cake and stake and decides that the winning prize is staying at the hotel.

8-Ball and David are sent into orbit. Dora is. Actually horrified. They could both be dead or injured or lost and she can't know.

The same thing happens to Firey Jr.

Dora lost everything again. Just like that.

She's sent into the storm too, pulled by powerful wind. Where she ends up? I want to know what TPOT does with her first.

Also some head cannons because why not

He was once a star but after collapsing into a Black Hole he absorbed his entire system in thoughtless hunger and feels horrible about it, it's most of the reason why he's so focused on death prevention. He knows what he can do, how much damage he can cause and refuses to give a chance for it to happen again.

He is literally always hungry, being shrunk helped but there's always a voice in the back of his head telling him to eat. By now he's learnt to mostly block it out, he knows it will never be satisfied.

He can feel when something is absorbed into him, inanimate and dead things just feel dull and he wont notice if he's focused on something else but he basically gets a small rush of dopamine when he eats something alive and hates himself for it.

HRLLO HELLO HELLO Huge fan of your BH massacre AU and take on BH. Absoluteluu

To an outside eye, Black Hole is The calm guy. He's stable and chill like Pie, but with a gallon of leadership.

It/he/they/any <- pronoun preference order. Black Hole is agender.

Hard of hearing.

He has a lot more people and leadership skills than you'd expect from someone who's been alone most of his life. Perhaps it's from when he was a star- but he can't remember much before becoming a black hole. Just fuzzy glimpses it can't quite understand.

Empathetic, handy, adamant, monotone, mature, and cool-headed. Or. Well, it tries to be. It believes that it has built a facade sensibility and calmness. He's very good at managing his emotions and hiding how he's feeling.

Black Hole is anxious and sometimes it ramps up to paranoia. The composure they feign is hiding a LOT of stress.

Good masker. You can not tell what he is thinking. You can not tell if there is something wrong unless he actually urges it.

Black Hole has problems with control. He fears that hunger controlling him. It fears the game controlling them by so hard that it destroys and destroys with no mercy. It fears losing control of the rift. It fears losing control of his team-- and the respect they have for him.

He'll start to open up as TPOT progresses.

For now...

BFB!

Black Hole did not ask to join BFB. It did not apply or find Four and X.

Rather, they found him. A lonely soul who thought itself content to eternal drifting through space, as it had been for eons.

A big blue hand reached out to it and, rather than elongating and stretching into nothingness, closed around Black Hole. For once, they knew true darkness. No light of distant stars or galaxies just out of reach. Only darkness.

This is short-lived, as Black Hole found themself in a crater on a foreign planet, gently moved from the hand of Four and left to float.

First, they notice the blinding light. Space never got this bright-- but the sky in this planet did. A radiant blue that Black Hole could feel.

Then, the hunger. Still noisy but duller, like it's muffled behind a wall. He can ignore it for once and live in the moment. He can experience life.

Four grants Black Hole two gifts: a sort of weird barrier on its body that keeps them from just. Subconsciously sucking things in. BH could destroy the planet by staying on it or it's orbit if Four didn't do this.

Black Hole is also a minor reality bender. With the right practice, he can learn how to use his force and Four's gift to suck select things in and spin select things around them.

The second gift is English. Black Hole is a celestial body with complex thoughts and feelings and morality-- it is a sentient being.

And seeing and understanding other sentient life tells Black Hole that it is not alone. That it was never alone. That life is precious.

First, came the relief. Second, the crushing guilt.

What if his solar system had a planet with life like this? What if it consumed that planet before it's life could flourish and grow and become sentient like the objects here on Earth? Not to mention all of the other planets Black Hole destroyed...

It's sickening.

It quickly dedicates itself to Earth. It vows not to give in to the hunger and to prevent death. Even if the people around them can recover, Black Hole feels ill just by witnessing-- but he has to keep himself together. If not for himself, then for Death PACT. If not for Death PACT, then for Earth.

His leadership skills land him a leadership role on Death PACT. He and Tree work in tandem to focus on preventing death AND creating trust.

Pillow is a pain to deal with. She's quite chaotic and it drives Black Hole UP A WALL.

TPOT

Black Hole takes total control over Death PACT when Tree is stuck in the canal. The focus turns fully to preventing death.

While Lightning's problem is more "Hey! Focus on the game!", Fanny shared that sentiment until recently.

Black Hole gets a backstory and motivation infodump in TPOT 10. It demonstrates it's fears straight up to Fanny and Death PACT. I'd like to think it isn't. The best at emotional conversations.

Fanny provides an outside perspective and urges Black Hole to focus on life. To talk about that anxiety and to let himself open up to his team. They don't have to handle the anxiety on their own.

Talking with BH gives Fanny a whole new perspective and appreciation for life.

Shortly after, Black Hole decides that it is time to rescue Tree. It's. Wrong to leave Tree there, lacking autonomy. Humane killing exists(as much as it ticks BH off)

When the timeline shifted, Black Hole knew. Their reality warping powers told them. It's powers allowed it to know that this ISN'T how it should be.

As the rift formed, Black Hole stayed behind to stabilize it and it continues to be its main focus as TPOT progresses . If they could convince Two to stop bedrotting, Two could actually FIX the rift instead of Black Hole holding it off.

Killing and consuming living things does. Indeed provide him a dopamine rush-- a shameful one. Even if that object can be recovered.

Black Hole is beyond mortified when he finds out that rift was purposefully worsened by One.

Concept art to go with it! The Grassy we see in the show versus adult Grassy.

GUUUUHHHHJ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Gonna be real. Redux Grassy IS a child. He is five when he's introduced.

Honest, crafty, sensitive, and joyous with a strong self-esteem that only grows with encouragement from the adults around him. Good kid.

He thrives off of his relationships.

How did a five year old get into BFB?

Unsupervised, Grassy was let onto his parent's laptop and decided to apply.

Four did not do background checks. Four did not watch or read through any applications. They raffled all the applicants at random.

A Better Name Than That does the best they can with Grassy: keeping him AWAY from Four at ALL COSTS.

Grassy ends up sitting through a lot of violence. We are talking murder. And recovery. It scares the shit out of him at first-- he doesn't really understand why Four is like thst.

BFB Grassy's whole deal is "Dear god that is a child. Why is he here onhgjdhdjdjfhdjd"

As BFB progresses, Grassy grows used to it? I don't think desensitized is the right word. He's not processing it all.

Basketball does her damn hardest to school Grassy until she gets distracted with other things. Four won't let Grassy off the show unless he's eliminated and he. He won't be eliminated.

Basketball gets Grassy to move to TPOT, hoping things would be better there.

AND THINGS WERE!! kinda.

Joining The Best was a good idea! However, Basketball dwelves more into her robotics career, leaving Grassy to feel neglected.

Not for long! Snowball picks him up and. Now Grassy has a dad. A new caretaker yay

Snowball is not a perfect man. He's working to be better and encourages Grassy to be strong.

So, Grassy will be!! For Snowball, for Basketball, for his whole team.

The team swap happens and Grassy goes with Snowball.

This kid does not know hate. Not uet. He is kind to everyone, even if they're a jerk to him.

That is part of what makes TV feel like SHIT when he kills Grassy in the haunted house. Grassy did not want to leave TV behind but Tree did.

Redux!TPOT 19... i don't want to officialize anything until TPOT 20 comes out, so I know where they're taking the story and can determine what I need to do with mine. I keep elimination order so I have to work with that.

Grassy takes to anyone who seems like a strong leader. Pencil works-- until she THROWS HIM INTO THE GROUND. Of course he starts crying. Snowball just got eliminated. He's got nobody. Pencil just hurt him.

ALSO RHE CHALLENGE IS TO KILL EVERYONE. It's better that Grassy was put somewhere where he didn't have to witness a bloodbath.

I think if he gets eliminated, the cast'll convince Two to bring Grassy back to his parents instead of wherever eliminated contestants go.

Grassy will not participate in a sixth season (if there is one):

BFB/TPOT leaves Grassy with lasting trauma. That show has a lot of violence and murder. Grassy is a CHILD, he is not made for that. He doesn't deserve to see that. He deserves to go live his life. To go be a kid while he still can.

Hey, Anon! I haven't gotten around to him yet but we can change that !! >:D

Autism. Plus a lot of vocal stims!!

Shameless, friendly, easily frustrated, a tad oblivious, and confident.

If you told him about cringe culture he'd look up dead in the eyes and call it stupid. Why be so judgemental over others, like, enjoying themselves??

GOOD WITH ANIMALS!! He has a special interest in insects and would've gone to college for veterinary work had he felt like it.

Probably grew up in a farm or, like, animal rescue sanctuary owned by his parents. He thinks fondly of it.

Applied to BFDIA to get out of the house, as he has been living with his parents.

PROBABLY related to Coiny. I think it would work.

Initially moral support for No-Name. When he switches to WOAH Bunch, he is quick to do the same for them.

Nickel and Bomby are closest while Nickel's on WOAH Bunch.

Nickel has a fun time working with Tennis Ball in late BFDIA.

He will do things to get on people's nerves without meaning to. Nickel's biggest struggle is social cues. Tennis Ball has the patience for this, best shown when they work together and travel through time, but Golf Ball does NOT.

I can explore that minorly with the WTFers and further in IDFB.

During IDFB, Nickel will play some sort of role in the Golf Ball and Tennis Ball storyline, I have no clue how yet.

Outside of that, he'll be spending more time with Bomby!! He's going to help Bomby come out of his shell.

Happily accepts the invite to BFB.

With his main story taking place in BFDIA-IDFB, Nickel does become less of a focus, especially with a cast of over 60 characters. That's a lot to balance!

I'll probably have him aid in the story of other characters-- maybe be a minor influence to Woody and be one of the members who's iffy about Leafy. Beep ultimately decides against taking her back when she rejoins but Nickel doesn't dislike ber-- he just doesn't appreciate the way she pushed the team.

He switches to TPOT because of Four's treatment of contestants. Joining Just Not is a good move!! As he gets involved in Price Tag's Goiky's Dragons setup and shares a team with his friend Bomby.
