#redux!four

Floating into space for no reason. Powerful ones warping the space around them Just Because. Hijinks that ONLY algebraliens can get up to because an object trying to would result in injury or death. Unique speech bubbles. Give me Four in specific having random emoticons in his text!!! The funniest most ironic thing happening possible ONLY because an algebralien is present. Chaos. Havoc. Pls.

Post-split BFB is a total mess still. Redux post-split is supposed to look different but I haven't touched on it much.

Four is chaotic. He is supposed to feel alien and terrifying and unpredictable. the objects try to KILL them!! by multiplying them by zero! in response to their actions.

genuinely cares about X but good luck literally ANYONE ELSE to being their friend. four is tough.

there will be consequences for his actions.

BFDI: Announcer

Announcer will thank the fan and then dismiss them kinda harshly. It means a lot, really! But he has better things to do.

BFDIA: TV

Realistically id. Have to go over a whole bunch of people because theres. SO MANY who worked togehter to host but I'll prioritize TV for this one.

TV would try to stay professional and friendly. He'd be a bit flustered, though! BFDIA/IDFB TV is more passive than what we'll see in the future.

BFB: Four and X

X would be awkward but thankful and polite when being greeted by a fan.

Four.. I am not sure! He's unpredictable. Depends entirely on the mood you catch him in, as he is not afraid to hurt someone if they approach him during a bad time. Walk on eggshells.

TPOT: Two

Still dead for several episodes? Still obsessed over by Four and X?

you are in luck, anon! His character proposal came out just the other night!

He is still dead for several episodes.

When it comes to Four and X-- the three of them have a short but fun period of time together!

Clock is initially put off by them. Algebraliens are chaotic and strange, at least by object standards. He stays in their kitchen doing tasks for them to pass the time-- then when he takes breaks, X bothers him.

Four isn't too far behind. They're only standoffish with Clock because it's Two who sent him to the kitchen. Clock finds himself pulled into the duo's adventures and, as confused as they make him, he really starts to open up.

Four is a serious grudge holder. He moved to TPOT after BFB to mess with Two because that's the only way he believes he can get back at Two for stealing his contestants. Clock is an extension of that, as far as Four is concerned-- but X tells them to give it a shot. Four chills out towards the end of the trio's time together.

three time!

I am not prepared to do a character proposal just yet, the most screentime we've got of canon three is xym closing the door to xyr jail cell in Four's domain and appearing with no lines in TPOT 15, only staring and smiling.

Three glared at Four while standing next to One in XFOHV.

What I do have is a BUNCH of ideas I've been waiting to infodump. And writing! Take some free writing

Xy/xym/xyr Three makes me happy. Neopronouns Three will be canon to the redux.

Three either worked with One to get a bit of Two's power or was used by One to do it, stringing xym along in her plan. Either way, I think Three knew, to some capacity, that One had ill intentions. Xy was her best friend after all.

(It also makes me wonder how far Seven was involved in all of this! They are suggestible but have a good heart)

One did care about Three. One saw xym as her only friend, even if she did use xym to accomplish her own goals. Her drive for control and power pushes her on, with or without Three. If One didn't care about Two, Three certainly did.

One convinced Two let her and Three "borrow" a sliver of their power. One went on a power trip and Three joined her. Three couldn't stay beside One for long as Two, after maybe too much contemplating, easily overpowered Three and brought xym down to talk.

I think Three would be hesitant on that power trip from early on. It just makes the next part make sense--

This talk consisted of "hey! That wasn't okay, actually. That could've hurt and killed a lot of people."

Three, having heard this from Two, felt guilt crash into xym like a freight train and the weight of what xy had done bring xym to xyr knees. Xy can't find the right words, not at first. Not over the tears. It takes an hour.

In a moment of guilt and regret, emotions high on both sides, Three made a request to Two. One hand reached out as xyr whole body trembled. "Please, kill me."

Two moved their arm away. "What!? No! There's got to be a better option-"

"There isn't."

"I'm not doing it."

Three stared at the floor, growing unresponsive.

Then Four returned from a brutal but quick battle with One, putting her away on a moon a long ways away from the algebralien planet. Three turned xyr attention to him and begged for death. Two shot that idea down quickly-- although Four wasn't against it. Four does not hesitate to resort to violence on those they don't like.

But Two won't let him.

That begging for death turns to a begging for punishment as Three realized xy won't get xyr way. Four agreed and sent Three to his domain, where he'd project themself in to set up a proper prison.

As Four set up a prison, he started a conversation of their own, "Are you happy with yourself? You hurt X's friends."

"No."

Four huffed. "Let this be a lesson, then. I'm not letting you out."

"Good."

Four locked the door and was gone. Just like that. Three doesn't see him again-- food is magically summoned to xyr location on a regular basis and X may or may not stop by via Roboty every so often until BFB.

When the door to xyr cell is opened in TPOT 11, Three ensured to shut it. Xy doesn't want out. Xy hurt xyr loved ones by working with One. How could xy be so foolish? Xy deserves to be locked up forever.

Where xy won't hurt anyone ever again.

It is for the better.

So, xy is imprisoned alone for a LONG TIME. At least six years by redux!TPOT 19. That's longer than Leafy's isolation. Three is able to project into xyr domain, even teleport there(although leaving will bring xym right back to where xy was in Four's domain), but xy does not want to.

SPOILERS AHEAD

SPOILERS FOR TPOT 19 AHEAD

ON MY HANDS AND KNEES, I SAY IT AGAIN: SPOILERS FOR TPOT 19 UNDER CUT

HAHAHHAHA!!! BACKSTORY TIME! BACKSTORY TIME!! Kicking my feet.

Some characters have drafted backstories!! I'll go over every one I can remember/have planned. I'll count backstory as anything that happened pre-BFDI or before the character's debut in a gameshow season.

CAKE

Cake was raised by two parents who did NOT get along. The only reason they were together was to keep him happy(good job /s!) This meant a lot of conflict. Even over the smallest things-- they could not stand each other.

It's not even that they were bad people either. They just. DID NOT GET ALONG. And his school life wasn't much better: bullies and little friends are a shitty mix.

So, going into teenagehood, Cake drowned out his problems by popping in some earbuds and listening to music while working. His SMALL circle had huge Goiky's Dragons fans, so tabletop RPGs were a good way for him to stay distracted.

He also had his trans actualization when he started getting into Loser as a preteen. Cake was a DIEHARD Loser fan at the time and idolized the man. He dreamed of going to Loser's performances and meeting Loser in person.

I want to make an IDFB episode that focuses on Cake!! Tempted to call the episode "Cake Day"! It would be about Cake and his grandfathers on his mother's side taking him to a live Loser show for his 16th birthday. It'll introduce both characters!

LOSER AND WINNER

They met during highschool, in which Winner got some bullies to leave Loser alone.

They both started off as kids with big dreams. Loser wanted to make it far from the start and Winner was there to support him through it all.

In their early twenties, they got into a talent show and were met with praise, basking in the attention. Within a month, they became a viral sensation.

Loser loved it. Winner didn't. They felt pressured and stressed. So, when Loser came to them with a movie deal, Winner finally put a stop to their team-up. There wasn't a big fight. Loser tried to be understanding and was deeply hurt. He eventually broke contact with Winner and went off on his own.

Winner faded into obscurity-- no matter how hard they tried to get back into the spotlight, hoping to be seen by Loser again, it never worked out.

FLOWER

I don't have a strong idea but I do have the foundation for a backstory!!

Flower was brought up in a wealthy family, raised in values of status and fortune. Stereotypical rich highschool popular girl bully.

Her parents made it very clear to her that she would eventually be on her own and have to learn to fend for herself. To act like and be an adult. They gave her starter funds when she said she was ready to move out.

PIN

Raised by great people who encouraged her to express herself. To be herself no matter what stands in her way. We'll see how that turns out.

TWO

This algebralien has a streak of bad luck to their name!

Friendships rarely did work out for them. Despite being omnipotent, Two was pushed into doing what others wanted. Two wants others to like them. Others(One) took advantage of their power.

They had a best friend in One, or so they thought. When One was trapped away, they felt at fault and struggled with their self esteem for a long time.

Then they met Eight!! They and Eight would all. Become a QPP-- which ended after Two helped Fourteen. Right before Fourteen showed his true colors.

So, Two left the algebralien world behind in search of new adventures.

RUBY

The youngest of too many sisters to count!!

Ruby's sisters were all majorly successful in some form or another-- artists, scientists, doctors, CEOs... The list goes on! Ruby wanted to be successful too. In her childhood, Ruby explored several things to find what she liked. She tried cooking, photography, painting, and writing before landing on acting.

With the support of her closest sisters, Ruby pursued her goals and applied for BFDIA to get her name out there.

LEAFY

Leafy spent a lot of her life with her legal guardian, her uncle!! She probably had a forest in her backyard. In her childhood, she'd go to summer camps that taught her vital survival skills for the wilderness-- skills Leafy would put to use by going camping with her uncle in the fall.

GOLF BALL

Golf Ball grew up in a small town in Yoyleland and moved to Yoylecity for college. One day, perhaps a few years into her studies, something happens in Yoylecity that causes it to be abandoned-- and leave Golf Ball with some serious trauma.

I don't have enough clues from Canon!IDFB to tell you what exactly happened,, but as I start to piece together a solid timeline I should be able to.

GELATIN

Gelatin got into science during middle school. It started with biology, went into biochemistry, and finally landed permanently on chemistry.

After graduating highschool, Gelatin started college-- having to stop halfway through this parent's steakhouse business that he inherited and did not want.

FOUR, X, AND ROBOTY

The epitome of algebralien chaos and his polite best friend!!

So, I don't know how Four and X got their powers, but they have some!!

X and Four met at a young age! They stuck together through rough patches and as they began to discover their own power. Four easily learned to master theirs while X fell behind and began to show signs of struggling with their own self-worth.

Four frequented the Equation Playground because X spent a lot of their time there. Through X, they met a lot of other integers-- including Two, who set up doorways into personal domains for ease of access. X was on good terms (but not particularly close friends) with everyone.

However, due to boredom, Four began looking for other things to do and took X along with him. X eagerly complied. This included Four being inspired enough by Two making those gateways-- they tried making one of their own and made a lifeform with a gateway instead.

Roboty! Four gave him to X as a gift so X could go to Four's domain without Four being present. X took Roboty everywhere with them.

One day, Four had the idea for a new adventure. He had seen BFDI and BFDIA and wanted to try it for himself!! When you get this number obsessed with something, it's hard to get him to stop.

He made a physical copy of BFDI and then got X and Roboty to come with him, proposing an impulse season for BFDIA: BFB. X was ecstatic and Roboty did not want in.

A couple of much rougher ideas -

Snowball being raised around bigotry and toxicity, specifically idealizing strength.
