'''Phoenica Fleecity XV''', or '''Feenie''' for short, is the latest descendant of the [[Fleecity Family|Fleecity family]] and a best friend to [[Molly Blyndeff]] and [[Trixie Roughhouse]].

==Appearance==
Phoenica is a tall girl with white skin, teal eyes, and long blonde hair with two pink bows on either sides of her head, each bow has a little golden bell in-between it. The ends of her hair are tied by two blue bows with two golden bells attached to them.

She wears a pink dress with long pink sleeves that have white cuffs, with a puffy pink skirt and a puffy white underskirt. She has a fluffy white collar around her neck with a blue bow under it, and a blue belt on her waist. She also wears long blue socks, pink shoes with a white fluffy topline, a white toe that's shaped like a heart, white sole, and one blue bow on both of them. The two bows on her shoes have a golden bell in-between both of them, like the bows on her hair.

In her fairy form she wears a white sleeveless dress, with a white (fading to blue) skirt, and a blue underskirt. She has a small pink scarf with two little pink bows on the sides of it. She also wears sandals with blue straps on them. She has white lace wings with a little heart on them, and a yellow halo above her head.

==Personality==
Phoenica is book-smart, but other than that she is just "stupid".<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189873355317/i-saw-people-asking-you-why-mollys-dumb-epithet Ask:I saw people asking you why Molly's dumb epithet... - December 25, 2019 - JelloApocalaspe on Tumblr]</ref> In fact, she is so ignorant and terminally stupid that she actually thinks the word "stupid" itself is a swear word.<ref name="KickStartAnnounce">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfPlIOLLhSI Epithet Erased - Prison of Plastic [Kickstarter Announcement!]</ref>

If she is threatened, she will politely ask the aggressor to apologize.<ref>[https://x.com/BrendanBlaber/status/1218613473904603142 Brendan Blaber on Twitter - January 18, 2020]</ref>

Phoenica is obsessed with the concept of love and crushing on people, but it's important to note that she doesn't really know what being "in love" with someone actually feels like. She has a bad habit of catching feelings for ''imagined'' versions of her classmates, and then after getting to know them better she quickly realizes the version of them that she was hoping to date isn't real and she isn't actually interested in them. This is how most of her marriage binders go. They're concerningly huge and over-decorated in a way that might make an outside observer think she's head-over-heels for her current target, but in reality she's just really into crafts and projects and often has more fun making the binder than perusing the boy.<ref name="FeenieLove">[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/723337828767023104/phoenica-is-obsessed-with-the-concept-of-love-and JelloApocalypse on Tumblr in reply to @adbotwithoolong - July 19, 2023]</ref>

Phoenica is desperate to achieve some kind of relationship, because in her mind being in love and finding the love of your life is a very important, possibly even predestined mission. She is currently going down the class roster and developing crushes on her perfect, imagined version of all the boys in her school (because she has a preference for them). Once she runs out of those, she will probably swap to girls. If she doesn't find anyone she actually likes by the time she reaches the end of the list, she'll have an overdramatic phase where she thinks her life is over and she'll swap to wearing goth clothes, which she will look absolutely terrible in. Then she'll get over it after a week and immediately start scoping out other schools for new potential crushes.<ref name="FeenieLove"/>

It's possible Feenie's had a marriage binder for at least one female classmate. She knows she's bi, but she focuses less on girls. This is because Phoenica is interested in very different personalities when it comes to potential boyfriends vs. potential girlfriends. She likes nice, dumb, heroic boys, but she actually has an interest in bad girls who don't follow the rules. The goody-two-shoes part of her is terribly embarrassed about this fact. She thinks it would hurt her family's reputation and would probably deny it if you asked her about it.<ref name="FeenieLove"/>

==History==
===Past===
{{Expand}}
Phoenica Fleecity XV was born to [[Phoenica Fleecity XIV]] and her husband, members of the wealthy [[Fleecity Family]] and so grew up in luxury, but also inherited the family duty of fighting the [[Songstress]].<ref name="PoP" /> ''to be added''<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1601785353223868416 Some people asked why Feenie can't just help Molly with her family's money problems. - 12/17/22 - Epithet Erased on Twitter]</ref>

At the age of 5, Phoenica was traumatized by a Halloween party that her family was hosting at their mansion. While the spookiness of the party was mild, it still gave Phoenica samhainophobia (fear of Halloween) and made Phoenica want to avoid anything spooky.<ref name="PoP">[[Prison of Plastic]] </ref>

At some point when she was young, Phoenica had a problem with sleepwalking so her parents gave her bell pajamas. She thought they were quite fashionable so she starting wearing them on everything.<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1745672466733949344 Epithet Erased on Twitter - January 12, 2024 (1)]</ref>

At some point, Phoenica was given the nickname "Feenie" from her parents.<ref name="PoPCh5">[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 5: Love Spell</ref>
{{Rewrite}}
At ten years old her mother died in a car crash, Phoenica was now responsible to inherit her family's mission to defeat the [[Songstress]].<ref name="PoP" /> And the need to gather 5 magical girls, herself included.<ref name="PoPCh1"/> But Phoenica still missed her late mother and so searched for a medium to communicate with her spirit. Phoenica and [[Molly Blyndeff]], who had also recently lost her [[Calliope Blyndeff|mother]], were advised to ask [[Trixie Roughhouse]] to be that medium to communicate with the spirits of their mothers, becoming best friends who became known as the neo trio due to their hair colors.<ref name="PoP"/> These two Phoenica would consider to be two of the five magical girls she needs.<ref name="PoPCh1"/>

At some point, she was given her signature bows as a gift from Trixie.<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1745672717477777616 Epithet Erased on Twitter - January 12, 2024 (2)]</ref>

Phoenicia says that she thought communism was bad, but Molly explains that was just propaganda from the Cold War. Trixie then yells at them because Molly had been talking about this, and Karl Marx, for 3 hours.<ref>[[But Molly...]]</ref>

===[[Museum Arc]]===
The Neo Trio all ended up in different tour groups during the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]] field trip, this caused Phoenica and [[Trixie Roughhouse]] to be oblivious to [[Molly Blyndeff]] being left behind.<ref name="PoPCh1"/>

Later, Molly mentioned to [[Giovanni Potage]] that her friend (Phoenica) would love the [[Counting Sheep]] summoned by [[Sylvester Ashling]].<ref name="EP2">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Bear Trap (Episode)|EP2 - Bear Trap]]</ref>

{{Rewrite}}
Phoenica Fleecity spent the past 6 months crying because [[Molly Blyndeff]] and [[Trixie Roughhouse]] didn't tell her about them becoming marketable plushies, she hires the "professional director", [[Ramsey Murdoch]] to help her. Ramsey accidentally hands her his incriminating evidence instead of his credentials. She asks if money laundering is the same as forgetting to take her thousand dollar bill out of her dress in the laundry, which he says that it is and that his rate just went up. Ramsey then presents Feenie with a fake mustache as another person for their testimony, claiming to have lost weight and achieved a boy and/or girlfriend.

Mr. Shades ([[Naven Nuknuk]])<ref>[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 7: Prison of Plastic</ref>}}
'''Toidei "Odi" Gourami'''<ref name="PoPCh8"/>, also known as '''Rick Shades''', is a former [[Ocean Country]] wizard who escaped the [[Colosseum]] with the help of his fellow combatants and friends. After being found by [[Molly Blyndeff|The]] [[Phoenica Fleecity|Neo]] [[Trixie Roughhouse|Trio]] on the [[Sweet Jazz City]] beaches, he helped in the three's rescue of [[Naven Nuknuk]] from [[Lorelai Blyndeff|Lorelai Blyndeff's]] dream bubble. During which Rick took a near fatal spell from Lorelai which eventually led to him and [[Molly Blyndeff]] bonding. Afterwards, Rick was given housing and work by Naven at the [[STEM Building]].

Rick's [[Epithet]], "'''Soulmates'''", allows him to copy the powers and abilities of anyone who becomes friends with him, including those of other Inscribed.

==Physical Appearance==
Rick Shades is a lanky man with a dusky complexion, a pointed nose, pointy ears, and deep neon purple hair with bright red strands coming from the parting. He wears jet black sunglasses, a red scarf, and a dulled purple jacket with a red heart-shaped patch over his right breast (the wrong side) worn over an off-white shirt and black trousers. He also wears dull purple shoes and red fingerless gloves. When [[Molly Blyndeff]] finds him on a beach, he's covered in sea water and has some seaweed and a star fish on him. His eyes are red and they glow like a candle in the dark out of his shades.

Because of his clothing and unkempt appearance, he is said to give off the appearance of a drifter, or some strange purple hobo who might travel by boxcar.

He also has a great smile! But he doesn't blink.

In his chameleon form he takes the form of a cartoonish purple chameleon with two completely black eyes and white pupils, there's a black line between his eyes to make it look like he's wearing sunglasses. The scales on his head are colored to form a big red heart, And frontside of his torso is white. He also wears a small red scarf.

In his gargoyle form he has large light purple wings with a red fire pattern on them, the bones of the wings are black. He has two black horns made of stone on the top of his head, and black claws made of stone.

==Personality==
Rick is very mysterious, but in a comedic way. He does casual stuff in a very formal but off-putting matter, like saying "The Pact Is Sealed!" when he becomes friends with [[Phoenica Fleecity]]. He also has a habit of cackling maniacally and screaming (though the latter is due to the fact that his default response to feeling an emotion is to scream). Despite these quirks, Rick seems to be very polite and friendly (albeit a bit too friendly). Because of his Epithet, he is obsessed with making friends and insists that he'll eventually become friends with [[Molly Blyndeff|Molly]] and [[Trixie Roughhouse|Trixie]] as well, the same way he became friends with Phoenica.

Being an ocean dweller, Rick is ignorant to concepts from the surface world, such as something as simple as "schoolwork", and tends to rely on his allies' powers and abilities via his Epithet to perform tasks which are related to said concepts.

Often he seems to have some conceit in himself, but is overall delightfully incompetent.

==History==
===Past===
Born in [[Ocean Country]], Toidei Gourami made many friends and became a powerful epithet user. This led to the supreme leader of Ocean Country, an ancient warlock named [[He Who Hungers Endlessly]], to take notice and harvest him at the age of 12. However, due to his epithet relying on friendship and not wanting to hurt his newly found friends, he became weaker as the [[Colosseum]] battles continued on. Eventually, he decided he would throw all his battles under the persona, "Rick Shades". This way, he would both regain his power and keep his friends.

However, after years of his friends dying and, as a result, him becoming weaker, Rick realized that he would soon be disposed of. At the age of 20, he planned an escape with the help of his remaining friends and their epithets. After evading the Colosseum guards, breaking through the sea dome, and swimming away with the shared epithets, Rick successfully escaped from [[Ocean Country]]. But, after some time of navigating the ocean, Rick ran outside the range of his friends' soulmate bond and he passed out in the water.<ref name="PoPCh8" />

===[[Prison of Plastic]]===
{{Rewrite}}
Three days later,<ref name="PoPCh8" /> a little girl named [[Molly Blyndeff]] finds Rick, who assumed his slumped over form to be a dead body. Her two other friends, [[Phoenica Fleecity]] and [[Trixie Roughhouse]], catch up to her and they argue about what to do, before he stands up and introduces himself. They scream and proceed to argue about what he could be, after which Rick says he is a wizard. Phoenica then introduces herself and explains that she needs to assemble of group of magical girls to save the world, and asks if he would like to be one. This leads to an argument about whether or not one needs magic to be a magical girl between Trixie and Phoenica. Molly, thinking Rick is likely dangerous, grabs her friends and attempts to drag them away from the strange man.

Rick manages to catch up to them and gets Phoenica to shake his hand, forming a 'pact' by becoming friends, summoning a swarm of black lighting. Molly and Trixie try to persuade Phoenica to flee but she doesn't listen, and Rick explains his epithet. He says it's called "Soulmates" and Phoenica gets flustered by the name until he explains that it simply means he keeps his friends within his soul. He explains further, using Phoenica's book-smarts on her homework as an example. Phoenica is appalled that he used her knowledge to complete his homework, which is cheating, and which causes her to no longer consider him a friend, thus breaking the 'pact'.

After Rick shared his past and apologized, Phoenica forgave him, reforming their 'pact'. He then attempted to learn the other two's powers, and after failing, he simply declared that he'll befriend them eventually. He then recalls them discussing winning and asks about it, to which Trixie clarifies what he's talking about. He then explains that he has not eaten in days, prompting the three to try and find food for him and failing, only managing to procure some lip balm. Molly explains what lip balm is and gives it to him and he eats it. Everyone panics and begins looking for a solution, as lip balm is likely poisonous, and also learn that he has drank nothing but sea water for the last three days. Trixie finds a potion in her bag and Rick goes to drink it before they stop him. Rick confirms that they were friends before he collapses.<ref name="PoPCh1">[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 1: Fish Out of Water</ref>{{Expand}}

The two quickly became friends and Rick mimicked Giovanni's [[Giovanni Potage#Former Abilities|gargoyle form]]. After seeing Rick perform Molly's '''Bear Paw''', Giovanni gave Rick a lecture on how he needs to put a twist on abilities copied from his friends, asserting that originality is necessary for a villain. The two then worked together to defeat Graham.<ref name="PoPCh12"/>

*'''[[Epithet]]: Soulmates:''' Rick's Epithet is Soulmates. Despite the implications, his power has nothing to do with romantic soulmates. Whenever he makes friends with someone, he can generate black electricity that can be spun together into a single string that spears his friend's heart and his own, allowing him to not only regain his own magic (said black electricity), but also gain the abilities of his friend (for example: [[Phoenica Fleecity|Phoenica]]'s book smarts). Strangely, if Rick is under the false impression that a soulmate has an ability, he is still able to perform said ability, like how Rick successfully made a potion because he believed that Trixie could make them.<ref name="PoPCh9">[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 9: A Real Mess of Things</ref> His power works like a "switchboard", with each ability coming as a whole but he is able to turn each ability on and off separately.<ref>https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1614575316655308800</ref> He'd also be able to have the upsides of an ability and not the downsides, if he is unaware of the downsides.<ref>https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1614575417847066625</ref> If a friend decides they no longer are friends, the pact is broken.<ref name="PoPCh1" /> The pact is supposedly also broken if Rick moves too far away from a friend, as theorized by Molly.<ref name="PoPCh8" />

*'''Black Lightning Manipulation''': Rick appears to be able to manipulate Black Lightning to some capacity. It both being used in relation to his epithet, manifesting when pacts are formed<ref name="PoPCh1"/> or broken,<ref name="PoPCh6">[[Epithet Erased]], Chapter 6: As the Crow Flies</ref> or when an attempt is made.<ref name="PoPCh1" /> It can also be used as an attack, the only known time being when he tried to attack [[Lorelai Blyndeff]] with it when he first entered her Dream Bubble.<ref name="PoPCh3">[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 3: Distance</ref>

===Former Abilities===
*'''Former Soulmates Power'''
**'''Glass-Breaking''': One of Rick's Colosseum friends had the power to break glass. Rick used it to break the dome they were trapped in so he could escape the [[Colosseum]].
**'''Fast-Swimming''': One of Rick's Colosseum friends had the power to swim incredibly fast. Rick used it to outswim the sentries and escape the Colosseum, however his powers gave out before he reached the surface.
**'''Underwater-Breathing''': One of Rick's Colosseum friends had the power breathe underwater. Rick used it while escaping the Colosseum, however his powers gave out before he reached the surface and he ended up being pulled by current before landing on a beach in [[Sweet Jazz City]].
*'''Lizard Form''': ''to be added''

'''Bellatrix "Trixie" Roughhouse''' is one of [[Molly Blyndeff]]'s two best friends, along with [[Phoenica Fleecity|Phoenica Fleecity XV]], the three nicknamed the "Neo Trio." While walking on the beach, the three of them discoved [[Rick Shades]] and took him back to the [[Blyndeff Toy Emporium]]. Here she met her cousin, [[Giovanni Potage]], and realized that he is the person that Molly reveres. Their teacher [[Naven Nuknuk]] was kidnapped by Molly's sister, [[Lorelai Blyndeff]], leading to the Neo Trio infiltrating her [[Epithet]]-Powered "[[Lorelai Blyndeff#Abilities|Dream Bubbles]]." During which she was helped by the [[Ghost Crow]] and raised her confidence. After the final battle, Molly was "kidnapped" by Giovanni, and Trixie was concerned before Molly assured her via text that she was OK.

Trixie suspects her power to talk to Ghosts is an Epithet, but this has yet to be confirmed in or out of Universe.

==Appearance==
Trixie is a short kid with fluffy, pink hair and two bobby pins (crossed over to make an 'X') on their front bang. Their ponytail is off centered and tied up with a green and purple beaded hair tie. Their visible eye has an iris unlike most characters, being pure black. They're rather pale, have dark shadows between and under their hair, and a white adhesive bandage on their face (along with some scuff marks.)

They wear a baggy purple hoodie, with a short spiky skirt, and big green sneakers with a white rounded toe. They wear a necklace with three green and pink glowsticks connected to it, and a simple black backpack. Along with this, they wear purple leggings with white X marks over the knees.

==Personality==
{{Rewrite}}
While they struggle in school, they have extensive street smarts.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189873355317/i-saw-people-asking-you-why-mollys-dumb-epithet</ref>

They appear to have a rough and tumble personality too, as they suggest poking the unconscious stranger ([[Rick Shades]]) with a stick.

When threatened, Trixie likes to act in ways that intimidate the enemy, such as pulling out a box cutter (even though they aren't going to use it). <ref>https://mobile.twitter.com/BrendanBlaber/status/1218613473904603142</ref>

Despite their tough exterior, Trixie has a kind heart. They rescue worms off the sidewalk every time they see one.

==History==
===Past===
{{Rewrite}}
Trixie was born into the Roughhouse crime family, which resulted in adopting many of family's malicious and delinquent behaviors. Trixie had never been in a real fight before, but did carry potions and multiple boxcutter knives for self-defense and was taught by family how to be tough and intimidating. Trixie and their twin brother [[Rex Roughhouse|Rex]] frequently enjoyed making these potions together.<ref name=":4">[[Prison of Plastic]] </ref>

At some point the family moved into a mobile home.<ref>[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 6: The Way the Crow Flies</ref>

[[Giovanni Potage]] would occasionally meetup with Trixie when their family had get-togethers. Giovanni had a close bond with Trixie and Rex and the three frequently played together, even though Giovanni was otherwise an outcast among his family due to being dorky, embarrassing, and idiotic.<ref>[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 2: Vincent Murder</ref>

At 6 years old, Trixie was trying out an Ouija Board and witnessed a spirit communicate through it. Trixie told kids at school about it but was mocked as a result. Shortly afterward, Trixie began actually seeing ghosts in public (which turns out to be hanging out nearly everywhere except--- ironically--- graveyards). But Trixie had trouble differentiating living humans from ghosts, which did cause Trixie to accidentally ignore humans or assume that the ghost that Trixie was talking with was a visible living human.<ref name="PoPCh6" />

Trixie's eldest brother [[Xerxes Roughhouse]] coached Trixie to become more confident and intimidating towards bullies. While Trixie was now able to scare away bullies, Trixie was still outcasted for being creepy.<ref name="PoPCh6" />

Trixie eventually met [[Molly Blyndeff]] and [[Phoenica Fleecity]] at school when the latter two wanted Trixie to attempt to contact their late mothers. While the séance failed, the trio became close friends ever since.<ref name="PoPCh6" />

For four time, Trixie cleaned out the big metal trash can behind her mobile home. Going as it for Halloween while Rex went as a recycling can. Trixie got more candy than Rex, Trixie noted the commentary on the environment,<ref name="PoPCh6" />

===[[Museum Arc]]===
The Neo Trio all ended up in different tour groups during the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]] field trip. This caused Trixie and [[Phoenica Fleecity]] to be oblivious to [[Molly Blyndeff]] being left behind.<ref name="PoPCh1" />

*'''Potion-Making''': They can make some liquid concoctions she calls potions. According to them they are magical while [[Phoenica Fleecity]] says they are not.

**'''Potion of Stinky''':<ref name="PoPCh1" />
***Recipe: Mix a bunch of things that smell good (like ketchup and perfume) and stir it backward (by holding the spoon upside down) to “turn the good-smelling magic into bad-smelling magic”. It presumably does not work.<ref name="PoPCh1" />
**'''Potion of Go Away''': If you throw it at someone they go away. Trixie and Rex have tested.<ref name="PoPCh1" />
***Recipe: Grape Jelly, pine needles, hot sauce, and ladybug blood.<ref name="PoPCh1" />

'''Martin Blyndeff''' is the father of [[Molly Blyndeff]] and [[Lorelai Blyndeff]], and the widowed husband of the late [[Calliope Blyndeff]]. He is also a bad father, self proclaimed "Inventor" and is likely the most hated character in the entirety of the extended Epithet Erased multi-media universe.

==Appearance==
Martin is a middle-aged man with blonde hair and cereal-marshmallow stars in his beard.

He wears a green Hawaiian shirt paired with his god awful khakis, he also wears this with a bear key-chain attached to his belt.

He wears plain white socks with open toed brown flip-flops.

==Personality==
{{Expand}}
Martin is shown to be childish, irresponsible and unfit to be a parent. He volunteered to be chaperone of the Trip to the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]] and allowed the children to mess with the artifacts, further emphasizing his irresponsibility. He is even forgetful and negligent enough to forget to lock the door of his house and forgot [[Molly Blyndeff|Molly]] at the museum when she fell asleep due to [[Sylvester Ashling|Sylvie]]'s sand.<ref name="EP1">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Quiet in the Museum!|EP1 - Quiet in the Museum!]]</ref>

==History==
===Past===
{{Expand}}{{Rewrite}}
40 years ago, on March 23,<ref name="MPI"/> Martin Blyndeff was born in [[Sweet Jazz City]], [[Taiga Country]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1582879890579152896 Epithet Erased on Twitter - October 19, 2022]</ref>

He at some point married [[Calliope Blyndeff]]. She was a very serious woman but Martin was able to balance that out with his overly laid back personality.{{CitNeed}}

Due to wanting his kids to have "unique names" he had Calliope pick the nicknames for them while he picked the full names, but his nicknames were ridiculous.<ref name="Two">[[TWO-LOWEEN]]</ref> The first of his kids was born on October 18, 17 years ago,<ref name="LPI">[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1599849299109892098 Lorelai Promotional Infocard for Prison of Plastic]</ref> and was named [[Lorelai Blyndeff|Lorelainebacker]] (Lorelai).<ref name="Two"/> Five years later, on October 25,<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1597003861000323072 Molly Promotional Infocard for Prison of Plastic]</ref> [[Molly Blyndeff|Molly-Wolly-Doodle-All-the-Day]] (Molly) was born.<ref name="Two"/>

At some point the two started a toy store, the [[Blyndeff Toy Emporium#Original Incarnation|Blyndeff Toy Emporium]], with it being very successful. Martin would make the toys and Calliope would handle the business side of things.<ref name="PoP">[[Prison of Plastic]]</ref>

2 years ago, Calliope died in a housefire, putting the whole family in a difficult financial situation, however they were able to get a [[Blyndeff Toy Emporium|new live-in store]] in a worse part of town thanks to a family friend. However, the store still faced several problems. First off, a worse neighborhood meant less costumers to come buy the expensive custom playsets Martin made. Second was Martin's general incompetency, being unable to be trusted with normal adult responsibilities, like doing taxes. Thirdly Being understaffed due Marin and Lorelai often refusing to work (leaving Molly to cover cashier shifts). All this left Molly shouldering the responsibility of the will-being of the whole family, including Martin.<ref name="PoP"/>

Her father had managed to work out a system with the school where Molly worked even days and Lorelai went on odd ones.<ref name="PoPProA">[[Prison of Plastic]], Prologue A: The Neo Trio</ref>

One time Molly came home to find Martin had bought a giant sized kiddy pool and several expensive pool toys. He was about to fill it up but he forgot to pay the water bill. Now they occupy 90% of the floorspace of the store.<ref name="PoPProA" />

[[Phoenica Fleecity]] has attempted to gift money to Martin Blyndeff but after a couple early attempts the bank refuses to give him money.<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1601785353223868416/photo/1 Epithet Erased on Twitter - Dec 10, 2022]</ref>

==Relationships==

===[[Molly Blyndeff]]===
Molly is Martin's youngest daughter. Martin has been shown to be a very awful and negligent parent, taking Molly's phone to play video games, forgetting her while leaving the museum, and making her stay night shifts at the toy store.

===[[Lorelai Blyndeff]]===
Lorelai is Martin's oldest daughter. Compared to his treatment for Molly, Martin shows more favoritism towards Lorelai, always leniently letting her indulge and immerse in her own created worlds with her [[Epithet]], [[Augment|★Augment★]], so she can flex with her creativity. He also sides with her arguments half the time. However, his bias towards her has subsequently enabled her bratty and irresponsible behavior.

===[[Calliope Blyndeff]]===
Calliope was Martin's wife. Not much is known about their relationship, but it had been hinted that despite his own irresponsibility and laziness, their marriage had been a happy one. Due to them being foils of each other, their marriage and parenting was nicely balanced.

However, after her death, he, so far, seems almost unaffected by her death.

===[[Museum Arc|"Museum Arc"]]===

She's very dedicated to Giovanni and doesn't mind being referred to as one of [[Giovanni Potage|Giovanni's]] "boys" despite being a girl. [[Giovanni Potage|Giovanni]] uses "his boys" as a gender neutral term and Spike likely understands that.

==Appearance==
Spike has very sharp teeth and dyed blue hair. She has spikes on her Banzai Blaster uniform's wrist guards and her helmet.

Outside of uniform, she wears a purple shirt that slips off her shoulders, revealing what appears to be black straps of her bra. She also wears black nail polish and multiple bracelets, although they're only visible on her left arm and the angle makes it unclear if they're also on her right. Her left ear has two piercings (right ear also unclear). She wears a dull red beanie and her hair is revealed to have prominent brown roots.

'''Crusher''' is a former member of the [[Banzai Blasters]], who is now a member of [[Giovanni's Villain Group]]. He has a large build and his nickname comes from his huge crush on [[Giovanni Potage]]. He often gives Giovanni confessional gifts, but Giovanni tends to eat them.

He would assist [[Giovanni Potage]] in his raid on the Museum before being knocked out, and when reawaken would continue to assist him. His Treehouse would end up being both a safehouse for Giovanni and the meeting spot for Giovanni and his group. His house would be where [[Molly Blyndeff]] would stay after she was "kidnapped" by Giovanni.

==Personality==
{{Expand}}
Despite his large build and rough voice, Crusher is hinted to have a big heart, due to his crush on Giovanni. He tries to confess his love to Giovanni by giving him gifts, but Giovanni tends to eat them immediately after receiving them, misunderstanding the gesture.{{CitNeed}}

==Appearance==
{{Expand}}
Crusher is tall and muscular. When he was working for the [[Banzai Blasters]], he wore the generic Banzai Blaster uniform.

When not wearing his Banzai uniform, Crusher is shown to have light brown hair in the style of a mullet, with the bangs covering his eyes. He wears a pink unbuttoned dress shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, over a black tank top.

'''Flamethrower''' is a former member of the [[Banzai Blasters]], who was tasked by [[Giovanni Potage]] to watch [[Molly Blyndeff]] during the [[Museum Arc|Sweet Jazz City Museum Heist]].

==Personality==
While he is just as harmless as his fellow [[Banzai Blasters]], he is shown to be much more hot blooded and passionate. He is very insecure about being a cheerleader, despite the support of his friends.<ref name="EP1">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Quiet in the Museum!|EP1 - Quiet in the Museum!]]</ref>

Whilst this is happening, they are in plush form to advertise the then-new merch that can no longer be purchased. Molly distracts a guard so Giovanni and his boys can get into the vents. After they use the magnets in their hands to make a human chain, they descend to steal the Ocean's Eye. Molly cuts the red string lasers surrounding the valuable gem and Ben tries to pick it up. After he struggles with this, Giovanni muses that, in the movies, the thieves have no trouble carrying the valuable treasure. Giovanni realizes he can carry Car Crash with no problem and that friendship must be the real treasure.

==Personality==
Ben is the most dim-witted member of the Banzai Blasters. While the other members seem to care about safety and are relatively harmless, Ben seems to have no problem with beating up a small defenseless child and had absolutely no remorse when his fellow Banzai Blaster, [[Flamethrower]], got knocked out cold by [[Indus Tarbella]]. Despite his faults, his friends still seem to care about him (at least to an extent).

==Appearance==
Ben is thin and has pale skin. Since he has yet to earn his "cool" villain nickname, he's forced to wear a generic uniform and isn't allowed to customize it at all yet.

When not wearing his Banzai uniform, Ben is shown to have messy orange hair in the style of a mullet. He wears a blue sweater vest, over a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, which he wears over a black shirt.

'''Fred Donaldson''' is a former member of the [[Banzai Blasters]], whose alias, '''Car Crash''', was coined by others attributing to his previous numerous car accidents. After he and his fellow Banzai teammates broke into the Sweet Jazz City Museum, he, alongside [[Flamethrower]] and [[Ben]], was tasked with keeping watch over [[Molly Blyndeff]]. Fred also drove [[Giovanni Potage]] to [[Redwood Run]] before crashing, panicking when [[Percival King]] showed up before he drove them back to safety. Afterward, he was grounded by his parents and had to attend Giovanni's meeting about resigning from the Banzai Blasters via a video call.

==Personality==
Fred is well known for crashing his car, hence his [[Banzai Blasters|Banzai]] name. Aside from this, Fred is friendly and helpful, especially towards his friends, giving them rides in his car when they need it. He can get nervous easily, specifically when driving or facing [[Percival King]] again after robbing the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]].

==Appearance==
Fred is around the same height as [[Giovanni Potage]]. He is thin and has pale skin. When he was working for the Banzai Blasters, he wore the generic Banzai Blaster uniform, but with tears on his pants and arms, as well as a chunk missing from his helmet.

When not wearing his Banzai uniform, Fred is shown to have freckles and curly brown hair in the style of a mullet. He wears a yellow hoodie, over a red shirt, and a pair of blue jeans. He also has a band-aid on his nose.

'''Gorou Shimizaki''' is the incompetent sheriff of [[Redwood Run]]. He allows [[Banzai Blasters]] to overrun the town as well as allowing [[Ramsey Murdoch]] to hide in the town's only prison cell. He meets both [[Giovanni Potage]] and [[Percival King]], introducing them both to Ramsey. He walked into a battle between them and [[Bugsy and Arnold's Banzai Team]] before leaving.

==Appearance==

==Personality==
Gorou is laidback and friendly, always welcoming visitors to the town. Nonetheless, he is also awfully inept as a sheriff: he hands out guns to everyone without thinking about the potential consequences,<ref name="EP5">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Redwood Run (Episode)|EP5 - Redwood Run]]</ref> he cannot spell (Although, it should be noted he wishes to learn to),<ref name="EP6">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[All's Well That Ends Well|EP6 - All's Well That Ends Well]]</ref> plays games while on duty, and makes no attempt to arrest any of the [[Banzai Blasters]]:<ref name="EP5"/> even when they attack another police officer like [[Percival King]].<ref name="EP6"/> Gorou didn't even realize that sheriffs are supposed to solve crimes.<ref name="EP5"/> Gorou is overall a happy and harmless, yet forgetful bumbling buffoon.

'''Arnold Markdown''' is a frugal and snooty Banzai Vice Principal in the criminal organization known as the [[Banzai Blasters]], who was paired with [[Bugsy Pugsler]] to raid the tiny backwoods town of [[Redwood Run]]. After a brief encounter with detective [[Percival King|Percy King]] and the subsequent retreat of Bugsy, the police officer captured and interrogated him for Bugsy's location. Later, he was fully incarcerated, along with the rest of his Banzai group, by the [[Sweet Jazz Police Department|Sweet Jazz City Police Department]].

Arnold's [[epithet]], '''''Coupon''''', allows him to convert coupon deals into actual status enhancements for his allies.

==Appearance==
Arnold is an adult man of average height with light brown skin. He has striped white streaks that run through his slicked black hair, resembling a barcode. Arnold also wears rectangular glasses and keeps a pencil perched above his left ear. He wears a green-gray turtleneck sweater underneath his yellow [[Banzai Blasters|Banzai Blaster]] outfit. The outfit has yellow diamond-shaped shoulder pads and a zipper running down the chest, with the Banzai Blaster logo as its slider. As a Banzai Vice Principal, Arnold wears the associated white "cartoon" gloves and a green-gray fanny pack around his waist. He also wears white boots similar to those seen on all Banzai Blasters.

He is 5'8"<ref name="API" /> and his black and white striped hair is natural.

==Personality==
Arnold holds high regard for himself and belittles anyone below his rank, even mistreating his minions due to their undying loyalty.

He is a shopper obsessed with savvy dealings and savings of his coupons. But, this can be a fatal logical weakness. Without his coupons, he panics and whines. [[Ramsey Murdoch]] also psychologically manipulated Arnold by offering him coupons or financial savings.

==History==
===Past===
Arnold was born in [[Sweet Jazz City]], [[Taiga Country]].<ref name=":02">[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1582879890579152896?s=20 Epithet Erased on Twitter - October 19, 2022]</ref> He joined the criminal organization known as the [[Banzai Blasters]], and was eventually promoted to the rank of Vice Principal. Sometime afterward, he and fellow Vice Principal [[Bugsy Pugsler]] were assigned to raid the small rundown town of [[Redwood Run]].<ref name="EP5">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Redwood Run (Episode)|EP5 - Redwood Run]]</ref>

===[[Western Arc]]===
[[File:Arnold vs Giovanni.png|left|thumb|210x210px|Arnold attempts to grab the [[Arsene Amulet]] from [[Giovanni Potage]]]]
During the raid, Arnold and [[Bugsy Pugsler]] encountered [[Giovanni Potage]], who had just left the [[Redwood Run Police Station]] to turn in the [[Arsene Amulet]] to the Banzai Baron. When they noticed the amulet in his hands, the two began to belittle Giovanni sheerly because of his rank. Arnold ordered Giovanni to hand it over to them. Reasonably upset, Giovanni complained that he had earned the amulet fair and square, afterward reinforcing they couldn't just take their minion's hard work. Arnold then responded that minions are tools, which deeply upset the captain. After Bugsy taunted Giovanni over where his minions were, the two crowded their Banzai Team around him. Seeing the distinct lack of Potage's lackeys, Arnold stated that they were simply the better villains before he ordered the Blasters to attack Giovanni.<ref name="EP5" />
[[File:Arnold & Bugsy Gaffawing.png|thumb|Arnold and Bugsy laugh at their chance at a promotion|210x210px]]
After thoroughly beating Giovanni, Arnold complemented Bugsy on the stolen necklace around his neck. The two laughed in the wake of a possible promotion. Suddenly, Giovanni interrupted their guffawing by saying that the two weren't villains but jerks. Arnold stared at the captain, explaining that cheating and other selfish behaviors were how people of note moved up the ranks and why idiots stayed minions. In contempt of Arnold, Giovanni angrily announced his resignation from the [[Banzai Blasters]]. As he turned to leave, he remembered that his ride had not arrived yet. Ashamedly, he headed towards the [[Howdy Morning's Tavern|tavern]], causing Arnold and his fellow Blasters to laugh at the red-haired former captain before they left the scene themselves.<ref name="EP5" />
[[File:Enter The Vice Principals.png|left|thumb|210x210px|Arnold and Bugsy enter Howdy's tavern]]
Later, Arnold and Bugsy entered the tavern and found [[Percival King]], who had failed to arrest Giovanni, surrounded by their Banzai Blasters. After Bugsy briefly attempted to intimidate the detective, Arnold also tried to intimate her, saying she was surrounded and outnumbered. However, Percy paid no mind to their threats. She constructed a wizard tower to stop the Banzai Blasters' bullets magnetically. Arnold then cockily stated that she was still outnumbered and barked an order for his Blasters to attack her, the Blasters charging at her in response.<ref name="EP6">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[All's Well That Ends Well|EP6 - All's Well That Ends Well]]</ref>

After a brief brawl, [[Howdy Morning]] entered the fight and shot his soup shotgun at Arnold. Arnold stared at the soup heading for his face, confused. Bugsy then pushed him out of the way and ate it. Seeing this, the Banzai Blasters hid under tables to cover themselves from Bugsy's upcoming use of his ability. The vice principal then used his epithet to shoot an ice blast at Percy's wizard tower, destroying it. After Bugsy briefly explained his powers, Arnold used his epithet to give the other vice principal a '2 for 1' deal. The coupon allowed Bugsy to fire another ice blast, freezing Percy's arm. Arnold bragged about his powers before the townies previously occupying the bar fled. Arnold then asked Bugsy if they should go after them, but the overweight principal kept their attention on Percy.<ref name="EP6" />
[[File:EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE.png|left|thumb|Arnold exchanges [[Ramsey Murdoch|Ramsey's]] attack for one of equal or lesser value|210x210px]]
As the two made their way from the front of the tavern to the police officer, [[Ramsey Murdoch]] stood between them and threatened them with his box of crayons. Arnold taunted the artist before Bugsy pushed Ramsey out of their way. They continued their march when Ramsey threw his crayons at Bugsy, harming him. Arnold then used his epithet to exchange Ramsey's attack for one of equal or lesser value, consequentially healing Bugsy. Bugsy then consumed the crayons and coughed up a pile of rubber ducks, causing Arnold to stammer. Arnold was even more confused after Bugsy ate another shot of Howdy's soup shotgun, only for it to burn his mouth. Giovanni then revealed himself, pushed Bugsy over, and taunted the Blasters, causing Arnold to stutter even further. Giovanni mocked the vice principal and attempted to recruit his Blasters. Arnold tried to regain control of the situation, flipping through his coupons to see if they could apply to any of his minions. Annoyed, Giovanni spilled soup onto them, briefly stopping Arnold.<ref name="EP6" />
[[File:NOW THEYRE WORTHLESS.png|thumb|Ramsey Murdoch turns Arnold's coupons to gold|210x210px]]
Erratic, Arnold checked up on Bugsy, who irately told him to continue the fight. Arnold then barked at the Blasters to get out from under the tables, calling them cowards. He tried to rally them by again bragging about his epithet's abilities, only to realize he had used most of his beneficial coupons early on. Seeing a worried Arnold looking through his catalog, Ramsey nonchalantly turned his coupons to gold, utterly defeating Arnold. Bugsy, reading the room, then selfishly retreated, causing Arnold to throw insults at him as he left the tavern. Suddenly, Arnold was held at sword point while the remaining Blasters followed Bugsy. The vice principal tried to escape himself, but Ramsey merely tripped him.<ref name="EP6" />
[[File:Cuffed Arnold.png|left|thumb|210x210px|Arnold is apprehended by Percival King and Ramsey Murdoch]]
While down, Percy cuffed Arnold and asked where Bugsy would have gone. Despite Bugsy's betrayal, Arnold stayed loyal, telling her nothing. However, Ramsey convinced Howdy to promote one of the tavern's meal deals. Arnold, entranced by the thoughts of savings, then gave up Bugsy and told the two that he and the other vice principal planned to leave Redwood via the train station. He then beckoned Howdy to hand him his deal, to which the bartender complied. Percy and Murdoch then gave chase, keeping Arnold under the surveillance of Howdy and explicitly ordering him to keep Arnold in his sigh. However, once the two left the tavern, Howdy grabbed his shotgun, reasoning that being blind meant he couldn't see Arnold. Arnold gulped in terror as the bartender did so.<ref name="EP6" />

Hours later, Arnold was led into the back of a cruiser by a [[Sweet Jazz Police Department|Sweet Jazz City police officer]] and sent to prison.<ref>[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Winner Take All|EP7 - Winner Take All]]</ref>

===Non-Canon===
====[[TWO-LOWEEN]]====
As part of his parole after his arrest in [[Redwood Run]], Arnold worked as the cashier for a costume store. While shopping for a costume, [[Ramsey Murdoch]] teased him about the role before Arnold vented about his job, complaining that customers don't care about their wallets whatsoever. He continued, ranting on about customers not using any coupons or using the savings at the bottom of their receipts. Arnold then left to assist [[Sylvester Ashling]] in buying a giant bag of Halloween raisins.<ref>[[TWO-LOWEEN]]</ref>

==Abilities==
===[[Epithet]]: Coupon===
Arnold carries many coupons that he can use to enhance his allies in various ways magically. However, tampering with the barcodes in any way renders the coupons useless, this includes turning them into gold.<ref name="EP6" />
*'''2 for 1:''' When Arnold uses this, it can repeat his ally's last attack.<ref name="EP6" />
*'''Heal Up:''' When Arnold uses this, it can heal for the same amount of damage that his allies gain (or less).<ref name="EP6" />
*'''Strength Up:''' When Arnold uses this, it can give his allies the power of five men. But, it will only work if four or more people attack simultaneously.<ref name="EP6" />

==Equipment==
*'''[[Banzai Vice Principal Uniform]]''': The cosmetics he has chosen is a scarf and a fanny pack to hold the coupons from his epithet.

==Trivia==
===General===

===Adaption from ''[[Anime Campaign]]''===

'''Bugsy Pugsler''' is a snooty Banzai Vice Principal in the criminal organization known as the [[Banzai Blasters]], who was paired with [[Arnold Markdown]] to raid the small backwoods town of [[Redwood Run]]. He would steal the [[Arsene Amulet]] from [[Giovanni Potage]] before losing a fight in the [[Howdy Morning's Tavern]]. Then he would quickly defeated by [[Zora Salazar]], and then captured by the cops.

Bugsy's [[epithet]], "Bellybutton", allows him to launch randomized attacks after eating enough food.

==Appearance==

==Personality ==
Bugsy is an arrogant and demanding jerk who looks down on his underlings, and also very self-centred, willing to ditch his partner Arnold to save his own hide. He is also capricious, refusing to hand over the [[Arsene Amulet]] to [[Zora Salazar]] and whines like a spoiled child.

==History==
===Past===
On March 20, Bugsy Pugsler was born to an old money family,<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1598051705522122752 Bugsly Promo Infocard for Prison of Plastic]</ref> in [[Sweet Jazz City]], [[Taiga Country]].<ref name="PoB">[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1582879890579152896 Epithet Erased on Twitter - October 19, 2022]</ref> He later joined the [[Banzai Blasters]], promoted to Banzai Vice Principal, paired with [[Arnold Markdown]], and occupied [[Redwood Run]] with the rest of his [[Bugsy and Arnold's Banzai Team|team]].

==Abilities==
===[[Epithet]]: Bellybutton===
Bugsy is able to eat nearly anything (so long as it isn't too hot). After he eats something, his belly inflates and his bellybutton pokes out. He can press his bellybutton inward to spit out a random attack at his opponents. Bugsy claims that the quality of his food determines the quality of his attack.
*'''Ice Blast:''' He can belch up an ice shard to freeze his enemy.
*'''Rubber Duckies:''' He can cough up a bunch of rubber ducks, which do no damage.

'''Howie Honeyglow''' is a hardworking [[Mundie]] construction worker who has a strained history with [[Percival King]]. He's got a menacing aura, but really cares about nothing but people doing their jobs. He is the number one contractor in [[Sweet Jazz City]].<ref name=":2">[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189969642627/q-can-we-share-the-explanation-of-the-star Epithet Erased on Tumblr - December 30, 2019]</ref>

At some point, Howie Honeyglow became friends with [[Calliope Blyndeff]] when she went back to school to major in Archtiture. He became a friend to the Blyndeff family and babysat her daughters ([[Molly]] and [[Lorelai Blyndeff]]) a few times when the two were much younger then present day.<ref name="CaliFriend">[https://x.com/EpithetErased/status/1602026415133577216 Epithet Erased on Twitter - December 11, 2022]</ref>

''to be added''

==Personality==
Howie is a hard-worker who detests any disturbance that hinders his work progress. When incensed by distractions, he is not exempt from attacking the people who distract him with his tools. He also is quite competitive, as he has a rivalry with [[Percival King]], even taunting her at times.<ref name="EP7"/>

However, despite his hard-shell outside, he seems to genuinely care for the people close to him. He rewards his Worker Bees with "Honeyed Snacks" when they work hard, and even gives them to Percy when she's struggling, despite their rivalry.<ref name="EP7"/>

He also has quite an obsession with "doing your goddamn job." He has little sympathy for people like [[Gorou Shimizaki]], who constantly goofs off. He works himself to the bone (planning to work himself to death by 35) and has little tolerance for antics from people like [[Zora Salazar]].<ref name="EP7"/>

==Relationships==

==Abilities==
Despite his status as a [[Mundie]], Howie has the second highest stats in the series so far (having a maxed Stamina of 15 and a very high Proficiency of 12), beaten only by [[Zora Salazar]]. This, combined with his immense speed and strength, makes Howie an incredibly strong and effective construction worker. Howie is also formidable in a fight, as he manages to take out three Banzai Blasters in a single attack by bending a wrench into a boomerang (and back).<ref name="EP7"/>

==Trivia==
*Howie's favorite snack is a "Honeyed Snack" which is a hexagon screw shaped treat cover in honey. He is always brimming with joy when he mentions it.<ref name="EP7">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Winner Take All|EP7 - Winner Take All]]</ref><ref name="HPI"/>
*[[Brendan Blaber]] admitted that Howie’s abilities were straight up ripped from [https://baccano.fandom.com/wiki/Graham_Specter Graham Specter] from ''[https://baccano.fandom.com/wiki/Baccano!_Wiki Baccano!]''.<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190052980957/im-was-a-huge-fan-of-you-baccano-abriged-series Ask:I'm was a huge fan of you Baccano!

*He is VERY pro-union.<ref name="HPI"/>
*He likes a job well-done, full health plan coverage designated paternity leave.<ref name="HPI"/>
*Brandan actually wanted Howie to be older but due to the joke in [[Season 1]] of, "Expected to work himself to death by the age of 35", so he can't make him much older than this due to continuity.<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1598770935930454016 Epithet Erased on Twitter - December 2, 2022]</ref>
*On Twitter, Brendan made a tier list of how well liked in the fandom each character is, placing Howie in "Well-Liked (w/ Rare Exceptions)"<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1603935872428040192 Epithet Erased on Twitter - December 20, 2022]</ref>
*On Twitter, Brendan made a tier list of [https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Stardew_Valley_Wiki Stardew Valley] spouses, Howie being placed in the single tier because "He inherited valuable property from his grandfather and he won't be able to flip it and turn the place into an asset if he spends all his time with the local yankis."<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1602837006723137536 Epithet Erased character Stardew Spouses - December 13, 2023 - Epithet Erased on Twitter]</ref>
*On Twitter, Brendan revealed he was sent a set of teas inspired by characters from [[Season 1|Epithet Erased]]. Howie was used on a tin of honeybush tea titled "Howie Honey-bush".

*On Twitter, Brendan explained the sprite where Howie gave a glare from behind while he holds the wrench was a tough sprite to draw.<ref>[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1291607467315658752 Epithet Erased concept art Thread (4) - Augest 7, 2020 - Epithet Erased on Twitter]</ref>
*About Howie's race swap from [[Anime Campaign]], Brendan said: "Howie’s design I always felt was kind of simple and boring and I’d just watched ''[https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Panther_(film) Black Panther]''. I thought his design might look cooler with [https://marvelcinematicuniverse.fandom.com/wiki/Erik_Killmonger Killmonger]’s hairstyle in front of his eye. That’s the only reason he got swapped".

'''Zora Salazar''' is a bounty-hunting [[Cowboy|cowgirl]] and [[Bliss Ocean]] officer who originally was sent to hunt down [[Ramsey Murdoch]] for forgery and embezzlement, before her orders changed to have her retrieve the [[Arsene Amulet]] from [[Giovanni Potage]] for the [[Bliss Ocean]] organization.

== Appearance ==
Zora is a tall, thin woman with long brown hair, tan skin, and yellow triangle markings on her face. She dons a cowboy hat with a triangle patterned brim, a red neck bandanna, and a poncho which has a symbol that resembles the sun in the middle. Under her poncho, she wears an orange long-sleeved embroidered button down shirt, a belt with a plus-shaped golden buckle that has a sun symbol in the center, brown and dark brown striped leggings, and brown boots with golden sun-shaped spurs on its ends.

== Personality ==
Zora enjoys her job as a bounty hunter and seems to be quite confident in her own skills. She can seem quite 'intimidating' at times, and she is even able to make [[Ramsey Murdoch|Ramsey]] fear her, as she is an adept dueler and can easily beat anyone whom she deems as obstacles.

She is incredibly ruthless and selfish when it comes to achieving her goals, as shown by how she de-aged [[Bugsy Pugsler]] after he refused to hand over the [[Arsene Amulet]], or her turning [[Howie Honeyglow]] into an old man. However, she claims that generally she doesn't prefer going power-mad often, as it’ll make things boring for her and is against the spirit of [[Bliss Ocean]], therefore favoring fair duels (not that she isn't ready to play dirty if she gets angry enough). Her underhanded tactics are reflected by her erratic nature, such as hitting Ramsey’s “horrible, horrible” face with her second gun in a fit of rage after Ramsey broke her first one and soon after cheating the “fair duel” and using her epithet on Percy’s discarded sword in an attempt cut and then age both of them into dust, this is the first case we see of an attack doing infinite damage.

Although a proficient epithet wielder, she actually hates her own epithet because, as a thrill-seeker, she sees it as a killjoy for being overpowered, hence joining Bliss Ocean.

Zora can be hypocritical with her actions, e.g. damaging a building Howie was constructing for no reason, while getting angry at Ramsey for breaking a gun she had made. This extends to using loopholes to justify herself cheating: She was in-favor for fighting Ramsey and Percy without her epithet (since they weren't using their own), but also waited until an advantageous time to undo her power on time-stopped bullets she had fired beforehand, claiming that it was fair for her to do so.

She was born in northern [[Taiga Country]].<ref name=":0" /> She grew up in a family of paleontologists. One day when her mother and her father were digging, they found a golden box. Banzai Blasters, however, stole the box, and then shot her parents till they died. Leaving her an orphan she grew up in the woods, alone and learned to be a marksman.

While bounty-hunting, she chased down am escaped prisoner, who was bleeding by the time she found them. She challenged them to a classic pistol duel, Zora presumably winning.

Later, she was hired by a client seeking revenge on a woman who has a notch on her watch for every man she killed, Zora noting its cute she still has room. Zora easily defeats her.<ref>[[Countdown]]</ref>

One day [[Bliss Ocean Leader|someone]] approached her in the woods and told her "her gun is misguided." After having a one-sided fight, she realized she had found someone on her level, joining [[Bliss Ocean]]. Now she has a reason for her fighting and met [[Yoomtah|two]] [[Cloaked Bliss Ocean Member|others]] who were on her level as well.<ref name="GaC" />

At some point Zora tracked down and killed a person in the woods.<ref name=":1" /> Leading to her reflecting on her life up to this point.<ref name="GaC" />

[[Percival King]] is at the [[Sweet Jazz City]] police station, looking at a police lineup for suspects. [[Sylvester Ashling]] is running the operation, asking Percy if she knows who in the lineup is the criminal. Percy responds she only heard the criminals voice whilst singing the song "I want it that way". Sylvie asks the criminals to sing "I want it that way". Number one, [[Ramsey Murdoch]], hesitates before singing the opening section. [[Mera Salamin]], [[Indus Tarbella]], and [[Giovanni Potage]] sing the following sections. All five criminals then sing the following section together. Criminal five, Zora Salazar, sings the section "I never wanna hear you say" by herself. All of the criminals sing the last section together before Percy makes a comment that criminal number five is the one who killed her brother. Sylvie then admits he forgot they were looking for a criminal in the excitement of singing.

==== [[That Beautiful Sound Cover]] ====
Zora arrives at the house that [[Molly]], [[Giovanni]] and his minions are staying at. She asked for the whereabouts of Vincent Murder (who is actually Giovanni in disguise). Molly stated to Giovanni that he just needs to find something that people are scared and takes out a bar of soap. Zora, terrified at the sight of the soap, runs off screaming as Molly and the others start laughing in delight.

== Abilities ==
=== Skills ===
*She is a proficient shooter that can use her pistol to knock out her opponents in only a few hits, and accurately hit an acorn on the ground while standing on top of a building.

=== Unique Abilities ===
*[[File:Zora Gun Sprite.png|thumb|220x220px|Zora's "time gun".]]'''[[Epithet]]: Sundial: ''' Her epithet Sundial allows her to dial things forwards and backwards in any process which includes gravity, inertia, the cycle of the sun, and even a person's lifespan.
** She can also imbue her epithet into an object (i.e: her bullets). Whatever gets hit by one of these objects will be affected by her epithet.
***This allows her to do things like instantly destroy any object with a single hit from her weapons.
**However, once a process has ended she can't reverse it. (e.g: She can't float if she hits the ground, once her gun breaks it's permanently broken, and if someone is dead she can't bring them back)
**Her aging ability does not noticeably impact things which do not corrode. (i.e: pure gold)
**If she turns off her epithet, the afflicted victims will return to normal.
**Her epithet allows her to be functionally immortal by slowing her aging process or turning back the clock every few years.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189866092527/spoilers-for-episode-7-but-could-zora-be</ref>
**Jello thinks that when she freezes objects they lose their kinetic energy, however he has not confirmed this.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190107202637/do-objects-zora-freezes-retain-there-momentum-and</ref>
**She can heal certain wounds, but has to be extremely careful. If she sped up time on a wound that wasn't fully disinfected, she could cause it to become diseased rather than healed. Bones have to be correctly set or else they will heal wrong.<ref>https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190085031767/could-zoras-epithet-be-used-to-heal-wounds-even</ref>
** '''Tree!:''' By rapidly aging a seed or sapling, she is able to quickly grow a tree which can be used to launch herself into the air, or to attack and disarm opponents.

==Equipment==
* '''Twin Pistols:''' Zora made her own pistols<ref name="EP7" />. One was destroyed by [[Ramsey Murdoch|Ramsey]].<ref name="EP7" /> They are six-shooters and are often imbued with her epithet to move forwards or backwards someone's age, often to point of turning someone to dust.<ref name="EP7" /> Making these much more deadly then regular fire-arms in the [[World of Epithet Erased]].

'''Dr. Sylvester "Sylvie" Ashling''' is a 15-year-old psychologist who investigates interactions between epithets and the human psyche. After overhearing Indus talking about the [[Arsene Amulet]], he stayed in the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]] so that he could find and study it.

His epithet, "Drowsy", lulls his targets to sleep using a cloud of pollen-like dust. From there, Sylvie can bring their dreams to life. Notably, Sylvie can also use his epithet on himself, allowing him to transform into a giant Minotaur-like being called [[Dr. Beefton]].

==Physical Appearance==
Sylvester is a boy in his midteens with fluffy salmon pink hair, pale skin, and green eyes (due to his glasses giving a blue tint they probably are green). He is very short for his age. His height (or total lack thereof, he's barely taller than Molly) gives him the appearance of a preteen and causes most people to mistake him for one, much to his dismay.

He wears a white and green blazer jacket, with swirls on each sleeve, over a yellow hoodie with off-white drawstrings and green trim around the hood that resembles clouds, a silver belt with a swirl on the buckle, green trousers that end above his ankles, yellow and white striped socks and grey loafers. His outer jacket also resembles that of a lab coat.

He also wears glasses that have a yellow frame and lenses that give off a blueish hue.

==Personality==
Sylvester is a boy deeply dedicated to research and his occupation (psychology) and discovering new things about epithets. He's isolated himself from others (growing up without any friends,) and tends to act snarky and push others away. Under his standoffish exterior, he's very caring and wants someone to talk to.

Along with this, Sylvester has a tendency to feel that he's always right, and gets into a lot of arguments because of it. This also allowed [[Mera Salamin|Mera]] to trick him into working for her after assuming she was another academic.

Sylvester is easily angered by others when they call him a kid because he likes to view himself as mature. Ironically, he can act quite childish at times such as blowing raspberries or portraying an over-the-top confident genius persona (complete with pushing his glasses to his face so they glint in the light). He also tends to drastically overthink things, genuinely confused when [[Indus Tarbella|Indus]] is straightforward with his epithet which he said was "strategic suicide". In the same encounter, he overthinks the tactic of reverse psychology so much that he effectively stuns himself.<ref name="EP3">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[The Doctor is In|EP3 - The Doctor is In]]</ref>

He can be caring to others when he wants to be, for example offering [[Molly Blyndeff|Molly]] a free session when talked about the topic of her deceased mother. He takes on challenges like taking on "thieves" just for the sake of examining an amulet for his research.<ref name="EP3" />

==Abilites==
===Skillset===
*'''Psychology Degree''': He has specialized expertise in psychology, specifically in how epithets affect the psyche of their users (though apparently he has worked domestic cases in the past).<ref name="EP3" />
*He knows how to use a yo-yo to attack, though exactly how is unknown.

===[[Epithet]]: Drowsy===
*'''Weird Dandruff''' Weird Dandruff comes in two forms, the first is the Dandruff that comes off his body, incapacitanting those who breathe it in. He used it against [[Molly Blyndeff]]<ref name="EP1"/> and [[Indus Tarbella]]<ref name="EP2" /> who both passed by him, although it is unclear how much he has control of it in this form. In the other form, golden dust fills the sky, putting anyone to sleep who breathe it in. But like normal dust, it can be blown away. He tried to use it against Molly and [[Giovanni Potage]] but it failed due to Giovanni blasting it away with his '''[[Giovanni Potage#Unique Abilites|Demon Energy Aura]]'''.<ref name="EP2"/>
*'''[[Counting Sheep]]''': Sylvie summons a horde of [[Counting Sheep]] that can nibble enemies and put them to sleep by jumping onto them. He can also use his sheep to form a fluffy shield to protect himself.<ref name="EP2"/>
*'''Nightmare Fuel:''' When his opponents are groggy enough, he can bring their subconscious fears and nightmares to life. However, Nightmare Fuel doesn't do anything if the opponent has no fears, or if their fears already exist in reality.<ref name="EP2" />
*'''Dream Big:''' Sylvie can put himself to sleep, bringing his own dreams to life, summoning [[Dr. Beefton]] around his sleeping body to protect and fight for him. Dr. Beefton is his own entity and Sylvie does not have full control in this state. Dream Big is reverted whenever Sylvie is woken up.<ref name="EP2" /><ref name="EP3" />

==Equipment==
*'''Yo-Yo''': Sylvie owns Yo-Yos and knows how to use a yo-yo to attack, though exactly how is unknown.

===[[Molly Blyndeff]]===
{{Rewrite}}
Sylvie was quick to dismiss Molly as a thief and a wannabe street thug. But, when he saw that this was not the case, he stopped being so cold to her. When he realized he misjudged her, he makes an effort to get to know her better and find out who she really is. He's unaware that the only reason Molly was in the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum|Sweet Jazz Museum]] with him and [[Giovanni Potage]] is that he accidentally sent her to sleep with his epithet, resulting in her being trapped inside, or that she and Giovanni have only just met. He was under the assumption that she had been Giovanni's "minion" for some time but couldn't understand why anyone would follow Giovanni, let alone a timid little girl, so he asked her. Possibly, hoping the reason was something he could resolve so that she didn't have to work for Giovanni. When he learned Molly's mother was dead, his empathy and professionalism kick. He immediately gave Molly his card and offered her a session with him, free of charge. When [[Mera Salamin]] was about to steal Molly's epithet, he came to her aid despite being in no condition to fight. He consequently got his epithet stolen instead, but after Mera was defeated Molly returned it to him. As Sylvie was loaded into the ambulance after the police arrived Molly encouraged him to call her and she would send him toys from her store. Sylvie seemed genuinely touched by the sentiment and asked if she truly wanted to be his friend. She confirms and their friendship truly begins.

===[[Mera Salamin]]===
Sylvie thought Mera was his ally, as she manipulated him into thinking [[Molly Blyndeff]] and [[Giovanni Potage]] were trying to steal the [[Arsene Amulet]]. He believed this and agreed to capture Molly and Giovanni for her in exchange for being allowed to examine the amulet. However, when he discovered Mera had tricked him and it was, in fact, her who was trying to steal the amulet, any allegiance he had to her immediately ended and she is now his enemy. Sylvie then went to Mera to get Molly and Giovanni to safety and lost his epithet for a short while.

===[[Giovanni Potage]]===
Sylvie and Giovanni have a very reluctant alliance, only working together because they need to. He finds Giovanni to be very obnoxious, immature and annoying and they argue constantly. He also disapproves of him being around Molly. Sylvie despises criminals and harshly refused Giovanni's offer to join the Banzai Blasters.

'''Indus Tarbella''' is [[Mera Salamin]]'s incredibly loyal, buff, and dim-witted bodyguard.

His [[epithet]] "Barrier” can create barriers of varying size, be they big enough to act as bulletproof walls or small enough to hold in his hand.

==Appearance==
Indus has dark skin, caramel eyes, thick black eyebrows, white hair with tan running through, shaped in a mohawk, and a dimple on one of his cheeks.<ref name="Dimple"/> He has an incredibly muscular physique, and stands at a height of 6 feet and 7 inches<ref>[https://twitter.com/BrendanBlaber/status/1395634807091212292?s=20 Brendan Blaber on Twitter - May 21, 2021]</ref>. He has a large upper body, however his lower body is much smaller. Indus also sports tattoos on his face, shoulders, chest, and arms. These tattoos are symbols of the sun (on his chest) and of turtle shells (on his shoulders.) In the center of his sun tattoo are two swirls.

His normal outfit is a tucked pair of black shorts with orange insides, which he cuffs on the legs. He also wears track shoes, with the same colors as his shorts. He occasionally wears a beige sweater vest over a white button up shirt (that is much too small for him) with an orange tie as a disguise.

==Personality==
{{CitationNeeded}}
Indus seems to be a gentle giant. He's a blockhead with the intelligence of a child, but a good heart, and genuine dedication to his tasks. He seems to value strength, loyalty and honor which caused him to train with [[Mera Salamin]]. However, he remains polite even when he had to target [[Molly Blyndeff]], [[Giovanni Potage]] and [[Sylvester Ashling]]. The only time he has been implied to be angry or truly serious is regarding Mera, first when he explains her "curse" to Molly<ref name="EP3">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[The Doctor is In|EP3 - The Doctor is In]]</ref> and second when Molly refuses to go with him to have her epithet taken away to help Mera Salamin.<ref name="EP4">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Reflection|EP4 - Reflection]]</ref>

Indus is extremely gullible and just about everybody he's met has taken advantage of that fact. He's also got a very one-track-mind and very rarely thinks thoroughly about his actions. His emotions often cause him to make foolish, rash decisions as well. He is noted for usually always giving his name and epithet away, noted by Sylvie to be something "only an idiot would do".<ref name="EP3"/>

He also has a fondness for dinosaurs, and considers forklifts to 'have no honor'.<ref name="EP3"/>

Indus additionally is noted as being unable to do anything quietly.<ref name="EP1"/>

The two managed to be employed at the museum, with Indus using his strength to carry various exhibits and act as a security guard.<ref name="EP1">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Quiet in the Museum!|EP1 - Quiet in the Museum!]]</ref>

===[[Museum Arc]]===
{{Expand}}
One night, Mera begins to dig through the museum's stockpile of exhibits to find the amulet while Indus finds [[Molly Blyndeff]] tied up by a group [[Banzai Blasters]]. However, Molly managed to defeat them. He returns to Mera with Molly when the rest of the group of [[Banzai Blasters]] appear being led by [[Giovanni Potage]]. They attempted rob the museum but Mera and Indus manage to defeat the them.<ref name="EP1"/> Molly learned their true intentions so she was imprisoned with Giovanni and the rest off the Banzai Blasters. Molly and Giovanni decide to team up to escape by tricking Indus to let them free. When Indus returns to Mera (who is once again irate over Indus' stupidity) they are interrupted by [[Sylvester Ashling]]. Indus is temporarily knocked out by Sylvester's Drowsy [[Epithet]],<ref name="EP2"/> but is awakened by Mera after Molly triggers a fire alarm, causing Mera to panic and wake him up by hitting him with a crowbar. Mera quickly searches the remaining crates and finds the [[Arsene Amulet]], then orders Indus to kidnap Molly in order for Mera to steal her Dumb Epithet.<ref name="EP3"/>

Indus pursues Molly, but her quick thinking allows her to escape in an air vent. Indus searches the museum, only to be intercepted by [[Percival King]] and her police. Indus is arrested and is soon joined by Mera after she is defeated by Molly and Giovanni. Despite Mera's villainous actions, Molly makes peace with Mera and offers to heal her in the future. Indus convinces Mera to make amends, right before their police car drives away.<ref name="EP4"/>

====[[TWO-LOWEEN]]====
[[File:Clownfish Anemone.png|thumb|Artwork drawn by Ramsey.]]''to be added''

====[[I Want it That Way Animatic]]====
[[Percival King]] is at the [[Sweet Jazz City]] police station, looking at a police lineup for suspects. [[Sylvester Ashling]] is running the operation, asking Percy if she knows who in the lineup is the criminal. Percy responds she only heard the criminals voice whilst singing the song "I want it that way". Sylvie asks the criminals to sing "I want it that way". Number one, [[Ramsey Murdoch]], hesitates before singing the opening section. [[Mera Salamin]], Indus Tarbella, and [[Giovanni Potage]] sing the following sections. All five criminals then sing the following section together. Criminal five, [[Zora Salazar]], sings the section "I never wanna hear you say" by herself. All of the criminals sing the last section together before Percy makes a comment that criminal number five is the one who killed her brother. Sylvie then admits he forgot they were looking for a criminal in the excitement of singing.

==Abilities==
===Skillset===
*'''Housekeeping''': Due to living with [[Mera Salamin]], he does most of the chores around the apartment, such as doing her laundry and taxes- although he has yet to master the taxes.{{CitNeed}}
*'''Cooking''': He does all the cooking for Mera and he's gotten pretty good at it.<ref>[[:File:Indus 2.png|Indus Trivia 2]]</ref>

===Natural Abilities===
*'''Superhuman Strength:''' He seems to be very strong, being able to flex so hard his clothes ripped off. He's also able to bench press a truck, throw people with incredible force and easily break through concrete.<ref name="EP1"/>

===Unique Abilities===
*'''[[Epithet]]: Barrier: '''Indus' epithet allows him to create barriers.
**[[File:BARRIER.png|thumb|259x259px|Indus's barrier]]'''Barrier: '''Indus creates a barrier, can vary widely in size. The barriers can be produced away from Indus, and can float, be shifted around, and also be completely transparent (though he usually makes his barriers a translucent bright orange.) This barrier also features a symbol, which can also be seen on Indus' chest. The amount of barriers he can produce at once is unknown, but the maximum amount shown on screen is 8. Although barriers appear to be invincible against physical force, they can still be affected by other Epithets.
***'''Scattergun:''' A combo technique he performs with [[Mera Salamin]], summoning a barrier that she shatters into pieces, which she telekinetically hurls at their opponents.<ref name="EP1"/>
***'''Unbarrier:''' Indus' "secret technique", which he uses to make his barriers disappear.<ref name="EP4"/>

==Relationships==
{{CitationNeeded}}
===[[Mera Salamin]]===
After being defeated by [[Mera Salamin]], Indus became her loyal bodyguard in order to learn from her and become stronger. Indus deeply cares for Mera, always obeying her commands without disobedience, no matter how dangerous and unreasonable they are. He values himself according to how Mera comments and judges him, and when he cannot protect Mera, he will succumb to self-blame until Mera assures that she is fine. While Indus is shown to care deeply for Mera, she tries to make it seem one-sided and that she only considers him "free labor". Despite this, some of her actions imply that she not only cares for him but is even attracted to him.

===[[Molly Blyndeff]]===
Indus has great respect for [[Molly Blyndeff]]; after seeing her and [[Giovanni Potage]] mutually protect each other. However, he does not value his respect for Molly over his dedication to Mera, and still tried to capture her after Giovanni was defeated.

===[[Giovanni Potage]]===
Just as with Molly, Indus has great respect for him after seeing him and Molly mutually protect each other. He challenged Giovanni to an "honorable duel" only to defeat him with one blow.

===[[Sylvester Ashling]]===
Indus initially viewed Sylvie as a threat to Mera, labeling him as "one of the fabled ten hundred minions" that Giovanni told him about. However, once Sylvie formed an alliance with Mera, he shows respect for Sylvie as an ally, even referring to him as "Dr. Ashling" when most just call him a kid. He lets Sylvie into the room where Mera found the amulet without knowing Sylvie was no longer working for him and Mera so he can analyze the [[Arsene Amulet]] as promised, implying he trusts him and that he himself does not know Sylvie was tricked by her.

He also seemed somewhat concerned for Sylvie during his "manic twitching" while he was overthinking his plan of psychological interaction.

===[[Ramsey Murdoch]]===

Indus will team up with Ramsey in [[Sweet Escape]].

'''Mera Salamin''' is a former employee of the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]] whose epithet causes her constant pain. To negate it, she attempted to steal the [[Arsene Amulet]] with her bodyguard/assistant [[Indus Tarbella]] by infiltrating the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]]. Her plans were foiled by [[Molly Blyndeff]] and [[Giovanni Potage]] and her, along with Indus, were arrested by the [[Sweet Jazz Police Department]].

Her [[epithet]], '''''Fragile''''', allows her to weaken objects and people to their breaking point, including, unwillingly, herself.

==Appearance==
Mera is described as being "tiny" and having "sweet black nail polish" that is "always getting chipped for some reason". She has long, deep blue hair that can be seen as black, as well as periwinkle eyes with prominent eyelashes and possibly eyeliner. She dons a sand-colored sweater vest with an indigo bowtie, a cream long-sleeved, collared shirt with jagged cuffs and an indigo stripe placed horizontally along each sleeve, torn indigo jeans, black tights, and cobalt loafers.

==Personality==
{{Rewrite}}
Mera is a crafty individual, having managed to fool everyone by pretending to be a museum tour guide as part of her intricate heist plan.

She is also willing to manipulate others and tends to be dry and abrasive toward others. When things don’t go as she has planned, she falls into a fury. This is mainly due to her epithet, Fragile, with which she can relieve her physical and emotional side effects.

She is incredibly irresponsible as well, putting the whole blame of her museum heist on Indus. Despite this, she has quite formidable power and a high tolerance for pain.

Due to the immense pain, she has felt all her life which is originated from her epithet, Mera is willing to go to any length to stop it. She believes, especially due to her stamina absorption ability, that the only solution she has is to steal from others. Nevertheless, she has, through coaxing, been able to show some forms of kindness and gratitude to others.

==History==
===Past===
{{Rewrite}}
On December 19,<ref name="MPI" /> Mera was born to her wealthy mother and [[Mera's Father|father]]<ref name="Rich">[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/614163662601666560/are-meras-parents-rich Ask: Are mera's parents rich? - JelloApocalypse on Tumblr - March 31, 2020]</ref> on an island between [[Taiga Country]] and [[Desert Country]], owned by [[Taiga Country]].<ref name="PoB">[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1582879890579152896 Epithet Erased on Twitter - October 19, 2022]</ref>

She was in great amounts of pain her entire life and was bedridden for her entire childhood. Her parents spent half their fortune to try and find a doctor that could cure Mera's "illness" (in reality, the physical effects of her [[epithet]]) to no avail.<ref name="Rich"/>

One day, her father came to her room to tell her that him and her mother are going out and that she shouldn't get out of bed. Also telling her to stay in bed since she isn't well. He tries to comfort her by saying she will be well enough able to play with the other kids outside soon. They then leave and immediately afterward, she stares at the kids playing outside, her epithet subconsciously cracking the window.<ref name="EP4"/>

It's not that her condition got better with age, but rather that Mera learned to live with it. She would learn she has the epithet Fragile, which she hates more so than any other character in [[Epithet Erased]] has shown towards their epithet. She began researching epithets furiously to find a way to control her affliction.<ref name="EP3"/>

On her journey, she eventually passed through Desert Country where she met and challenged [[Indus Tarbella]] to a duel and easily bested him. Indus then swore loyalty to her in order to one day become strong like her.{{CitNeed}} She got hired<ref>[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WordOfGod/EpithetErased Christmas Eve 2021 Stream/Q&A - Word of God / Epithet Erased on TVTropes.com]</ref> by the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum|museum]] in [[Sweet Jazz City]], Taiga Country in the hopes of stealing the [[Arsene Amulet]].<ref name="EP2"/>

==Relationships==
===[[Indus Tarbella]]===
After besting Indus in an honorable duel, Indus swore his loyalty to her in order to learn from her and become stronger. Mera took this to her advantage and began teaching him many of her "training practices" such as "training" for laundry and paying her taxes. It is implied that Mera finds his muscles attractive, as when Indus tries to distract the kids with his flexing in [[Quiet in the Museum!]], she jokes that he "caught her attention." During [[Reflection]], Mera looks conflicted when Molly asks if she likes him, showing that she might feel guilty at the idea of allowing him to be arrested. Later in the same episode, she complies when he nudges her in an attempt to get her to thank Molly. This may indicate guilt over almost letting him be imprisoned despite his loyalty to her, or it was just a result of exhaustion.

===[[Molly Blyndeff]]===
During [[Quiet in the Museum!]], Mera asks about Molly's epithet. When she receives the answer "it's dumb", she is quick to brush her off. However, later when Molly negates her damage from Giovanni, she proclaims that after she finds the amulet, she would take Molly's for her own. Since Molly could dumb down pain, she was the one Mera was looking for to negate her own epithet, which keeps her in constant pain. Despite Molly trying to comfort Mera during [[Reflection]], it's only after Indus nudges her that she briefly expresses gratitude.

===[[Giovanni Potage]]===
Giovanni is, according to Mera, an annoyance. She considers him childish and inferior as a thief, quickly subduing him and his guards. As Giovanni and Molly become friends, he shows even more hostility towards Mera, who is trying to steal her epithet. This culminates in Giovanni gaining the upper hand on her and foiling her plans, as well as beating her in battle.

===[[Sylvester Ashling]]===
Initially, Sylvester is fooled by Mera into doing her bidding, him believing her to be a member of the museum's staff and bargaining with her in exchange for examining the Arsene Amulet. However, when he learns the truth, he becomes hostile towards her. Sylvester shows immense determination in stopping her from harming Molly, which leads him to losing his epithet to her when she beats him in a fight. Mera is shown to respect Sylvester's epithet abilities, though she also underestimates them at certain points. She called him a "weenie" when he fell unconscious just before he summoned Dr. Beefton.

Not much known about their relationship but she'll team up with him in [[Sweet Escape]].

'''Ramsey Murdoch '''is a rat-faced underworld appraiser with a literal heart of gold. He formed an uneasy alliance with [[Percival King]] to save his own skin from the bounty hunter [[Zora Salazar]].

His epithet, '''''Goldbricker''''', can transmute his body and anything around him into solid gold and back.

==Appearance==
Ramsey is a man with red hair tied in a low ponytail. He has white skin, and pointy ears. He wears a red Hawaiian shirt with white flowers on it, a red belt with a golden buckle, white khaki shorts and red slippers. He also has two golden piercings on his right ear. His right eye is gold with a scar on it, and he has a golden tooth.

His formal clothes consists of a black suit with golden buttons, worn over a white button up with a magenta colored necktie. He also wears black pants and black shoes.

==Personality==
Ramsey is a very sly con-artist who is good at manipulating people into unknowingly helping him achieve his goals.

In general, he acts laidback and cool when negotiating, but when being placed between a rock and a hard place such as possibly being legitimately arrested or his life at risk, he becomes panicky and cowardly. He is often compared to a gerbil or a rat, which reflects his facial features and personality.

Despite his sly and manipulative nature, Ramsey is seen willingly be helpful, shown when he helped [[Giovanni Potage|Giovanni]] sneak past the police (Specifically Percy), and also gave Percy a pinecone to drink.

==History==
===Past===
{{Expand}}
{{CitationNeeded}}
At some point he got an art degree and started doing commissions.

At some point, Ramsey Murdoch became a con artist, selling gold to rich folks for spendable cash before days later he turned all of their gold back into trash, dirt, or worse. He made about 25 million dollars swindling half a dozen companies out of their life savings before catching the attention of bounty hunters. Most notably [[Zora Salazar]]. One of these cons was "Operation Mid-ass" which involved a case of "golden buttocks".

At some point, Ramsey Murdoch became a contact for the [[Banzai Blasters]] as an appraiser, being listed as such in the [[#Equipment|Banzai Blaster Manual]].<ref name="EP5"/>

At some point, Ramsey lost his right eye to a [[Mundie]], replacing it with a golden one.

After his bounty became too high, Ramsey went to [[Redwood Run (Town)|Redwood Run]] so he could legally be imprisoned whilst being treated nicely.

====[[I Want it That Way Animatic]]====
[[Percival King]] is at the [[Sweet Jazz City]] police station, looking at a police lineup for suspects. [[Sylvester Ashling]] is running the operation, asking Percy if she knows who in the lineup is the criminal. Percy responds she only heard the criminals voice whilst singing the song "I want it that way". Sylvie asks the criminals to sing "I want it that way". Number one, Ramsey Murdoch, hesitates before singing the opening section. [[Mera Salamin]], [[Indus Tarbella]], and [[Giovanni Potage]] sing the following sections. All five criminals then sing the following section together. Criminal five, [[Zora Salazar]], sings the section "I never wanna hear you say" by herself. All of the criminals sing the last section together before Percy makes a comment that criminal number five is the one who killed her brother. Sylvie then admits he forgot they were looking for a criminal in the excitement of singing.

==Abilities==
===Skillset===
*'''Art Degree''': Ramsey is a skilled freelance artist who has an art degree. He does commissions but he used his talents for mostly for forgery an apparel<ref name="EP5" />, becoming exclusively for appraisal after being arrested by the [[Sweet Jazz Police Department|Sweet Jazz Police]].<ref name="EP7" />

===Unique Abilities===
====[[Epithet]]: Goldbricker:====
Allows him to transmute objects into solid gold and back, which even includes himself (but, seemingly, not other characters). He is able to turn objects into gold from a distance and can do this to disorient his opponents by making their weapons worthless or making their clothes too heavy. Although, the effect seems to only last a day at most. Ramsey can move normally while he turns his whole body gold and is even able to repair severe damage done to him, such as reattaching his severed arm. He is so proficient at turning his body to gold that he can use it instinctively to block himself from damage to the point where can precisely match Zora's aim on him.
*'''Fool's Gold: '''Ramsey can seemingly duplicate an object he has in his possession into an almost perfect golden copy. However, the copies do not last very long and seem to decay after a short time. He has historically done this to commit fraud or theft.<ref name="EP5" /> He used this to trick Zora by switching out copies of the [[Arsene Amulet]].<ref name="EP7" />
*'''Crayon Darts:''' Ramsey carries a deceptively normal box of crayons with him since he can turn the tips of the crayons into gold, making the crayons become painful darts.<ref name="EP6" />
*'''Static Cling:''' A combo technique he performs with [[Percival King|Percy]], Ramsey turns himself into gold. He then gives a bear hug to the opponent only to allow Percy to summon a bunch of Wizard Towers to zap him & the opponent.<ref name="EP7" />

==Equipment==
*'''Golden Eye''': This eye was created after a [[Mundie]] destroyed his natural one.<ref name="EP6" /> It does not work.<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189658354067/is-there-a-reason-for-ramseys-eye-being-gold-was Ask:Is there a reason for Ramsey's eye being gold?

==Relationships==
===[[Zora Salazar]]===
Zora and Ramsey are intense rivals. Ramsey has claimed that he has made several enemies in the past, but none of them seem to scare him quite as much as Zora Salazar. While it is unknown how long he has been running from her, it is implied that they have a long history together.

===[[Percival King]]===
As soon as they meet, Ramsey sees Percy as a way to gain some much-needed protection from Zora, so he makes a deal with her almost immediately. He offers to help her catch criminals in exchange for being let out of jail and protection from "any dangerous folks" they "might run into" which, unannounced to Percy, means he's hoping to avoid himself being captured by Zora. After some thought and quite a bit of hesitation, Percy agrees and from then on, an unlikely, very uneasy alliance is formed.

Despite everything, Ramsey does seem to take a liking to Percy quite quickly. He enjoys her wit and genuinely does want to help her out when he sees she needs it. However, Percy is still a cop and, like her or not, Ramsey knows that if he isn't careful, she can and will send him straight back to jail, where Zora would soon find him, so his guard is up around her from start and he can't bring himself to trust her completely.

As a precaution and a way to get an edge over Percy if their alliance goes south, he lies to her when she asks him if he has an epithet and tells her he's a [[Mundie]]. He continues to hide his ability from her even in battle. He also deceives her by helping Giovanni behind her back. He even debates ditching Percy altogether, wondering if he could catch the train out of town and escape from both her and Zora this way, but decides the train, which he doesn't doubt is just as run down as the rest of Redwood Run, would be so slow, so he might as well be walking and sticks with his current plan.

Ramsey's alliance with Percy may be uneasy and they may be unsure if it will even end well but they've still managed to make it functional for the time being. They make a good team and get along well, despite being polar opposites. They have a mutual respect for each other, even though their places in society as a police officer and a criminal should make them enemies by default. It's just that, when it comes to Percy, everything about him is on a need-to-know basis, especially his abilities, and the fact that he has an epithet. The way Ramsey sees it is plain and simple. She doesn't.

After Percy knows about his epithet and proceeds to arrest him, Ramsey is upset at first. But after she offers to give him a comfortable cell and allows him to make up for his crimes by letting him use his appraisal skills in the future, he accepts her offer.

===[[Giovanni Potage]]===
Ramsey was very supportive of Giovanni and even states that he's a 'good kid'. However, he also considers Giovanni to be an idiot, saying it's a shame that he's going to get swindled by the Banzai Blasters.

He also was shown to be willing help him slip past the police, specifically Percy.

===[[Mera Salamin]]===

Not much known about their relationship, but he'll team up with her in [[Sweet Escape]].

==Trivia==
===General===
*He is listed as a contact for appraisal in the [[Banzai Blasters]] Manual.<ref name="EP5" />
*He draws art commissions online as a side job, and supposedly has an Art Degree<ref name="RamseyTrivia1">[[:File:Ramsey 1.png|Ramsey Trivia 1]]</ref>. This is a reference to his voice actor, [[William T. Sopp]], who also does commission work.{{CitNeed}}
**He, in fact, accepts all kinds of commissions, no matter how weird they are.<ref name="RamseyTrivia1" />
**Nevertheless, he probably won’t draw gore or racist topics.<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190091540672/does-ramsey-consider-anything-off-limits-in Ask:Does Ramsey consider anything off limits in... - January 5, 2020 - JelloApoclaspe on Tumblr]</ref>
*He hates and judges birds.<ref name="RamseyTrivia1"/>
**The reason Ramsey hates birds was originally just because [[William T. Sopp]] thought it was funny. The in-universe reason is because, as a fellow artist, he hates when birds poop on statues because a lot of love and care went into them. Also implying Ramsey does not understand that they are not doing it intentionally.<ref>[https://www.twitch.tv/jello_apocalypse/video/546115933 Epithet Erased QnA Stream (feat. The Epithet Cast)] (6:57:02 - 6:57:35) ([https://clips.twitch.tv/ResilientEsteemedHummingbirdKlappa-CFKXlnFVZb4MAz5L Clip])</ref>

*In "[[All's Well That Ends Well]]", Ramsey wrote down the basics of his powers on a piece of paper because he was afraid of his memory of his epithet being erased. Ramsey didn’t write down what his word was, or even how he could do any of those things. But it didn’t matter. Ramsey is a clever guy. Just seeing that limited information was enough to make him think “Hm. If I can morph gold and turn myself into gold, maybe I can reattach fallen limbs. If that’s the case, I can get my own arm cut off to remove the eraser cuff with no negative consequences, thus turning my powers back on and saving us from Zora.” Within 30 seconds Ramsey had already forgotten what his power was again, but he remembered that he thought it was a good idea to cut his arm off. It was a stupid-sounding plan, but it was better than getting cut in half with a sword. So he gave it a shot.<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189847010827/sorry-if-this-has-already-been-answered-i-havent Ask:Sorry if this has already been answered.

*Brendon Blaber originally believed that Ramsey is 34 but cannot confirm due to other crew members being his creators.<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189531710167/may-i-ask-the-ages-of-zora-percy-and-ramsey Ask:May I ask the ages of Zora, Percy, and Ramsey? - JelloApocalaspe on Tumblr - December 7, 2019]</ref> He would later be confirmed to be 31.<ref name="RPI"/>
*He has a golden eye in his right eye socket.
**His gold eye is fake. It is for replacing the original one which has been lost during an incident that involved a [[Mundie]] attacking him. In fact, this eye does not work at all.<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189658354067/is-there-a-reason-for-ramseys-eye-being-gold-was Ask: s there a reason for Ramsey's eye being gold?

**Because character models are mirrored when they are facing the opposite direction, it is common to see Ramsey having his golden eye be on his left as a result of such mirroring.
*If Ramsey ever turns a person into gold, the said victim will remain static and cannot move.<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/190148420377/if-ramsey-turned-someone-else-to-gold-would-they Ask:If Ramsey turned someone else to gold, would they... - January 8, 2020 - JelloApocalaspe on Tumblr]</ref> While he can move when he turns himself to gold.<ref name="EP7"/>

*He is wanted in four countries for fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and Smuggling a single pigeon with a small hat.<ref>[[RAMSEY + FEENIE DOLLS]]</ref>
*On Twitter, [[Brendan Blaber]] revealed how he would play Among Us, which is:<ref>[https://twitter.com/BrendanBlaber/status/1317941485451563011 Among Us - October 18, 2020 - Brendon Blaber on twitter (6)]</ref>
**CREWMATE: The guy constantly checking in on Security and Admin to make sure everyone's story lines up. Good at spotting liars but bad at convincing other people.
**IMPOSTER: Kills the smart people first so they can't talk. Overall the best player.
*His height is 5'10" when slouched, 6'1" when not.<ref name="RPI"/>
*He was born on June 16,<ref name="RPI"/> this makes him a Gemini.
*He is probably divorced,<ref name="RPI"/><ref name="RamseyOn">[[EpithetErasedOnline.com]] - [https://epitheterasedonline.com/characters/ramsey/ Ramsey]</ref> at least once.<ref name="RamseyOn"/>
*Unsurprisingly, his favorite animal is the rat.<ref name="RPI"/>
*His favorite food is Beef + Broccoli.<ref name="RPI"/>
*He likes burying treasure, art commissions, and staying in his lane.<ref name="RPI"/>

===Design===
*The term 'Goldbricker' is an informal term used to refer to con artists. The term originates from the practice of coating bricks of a much less valuable material in gold to make them appear to be solid gold.

'''Percival "Percy" King''' is a detective in the [[Sweet Jazz City]] [[Sweet Jazz Police Department|Police Department]]. She responded to a 911 call from the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]], discovering multiple groups trying to steal the [[Arsene Amulet]]. While she managed to catch [[Mera Salamin|two of]] [[Indus Tarbella|the culprits]], a certain [[Giovanni's Villain Group|team]] of [[Banzai Blasters]] managed to evade her and escape with the Amulet. Nonetheless, her superiors still assigned her to spearhead the investigation to find the artifact. Once in the backwater town of [[Redwood Run]], she, with the help of [[Ramsey Murdoch]], were able to defeat the [[Bugsy and Arnold's Banzai Team|Banzai Blasters]] and [[Zora Salazar]] who stood in their way to acquire the Amulet.

Percy's [[Epithet]], '''''Parapet''''', allows her to instantly create miniature fantasy styled buildings that produce a variety of different effects, for example, an apothecary that heals physical wounds or a wizard tower that fires magical lightning.

==Appearance==
Percival is a fairly tall, freckled woman with short, blonde hair that sticks up and out slightly with a spiky texture; her eyebrows are similarly spiky and bushy. She is always seen with her police uniform and badge on. The uniform has a blue collared shirt and gold shoulder tassels, a black tie with gold, brick-shaped patterns, and long, thick white gloves that run halfway up her lower arm and are adorned with a golden star on the back of each hand. At her side, she carries a “real ass goddamn sword” strapped on with a black “scabbard” that has no visual cover or connection for the sword and only wraps around her lower torso. Her pants are long and plain black with the exception of some gold details at the ends. She wears sturdy, brown police-issued shoes.

==Personality==
{{Expand}}
Percy has a very strict moral code as a police officer and values order and safety.

However, she doesn’t have many social skills and tends to speak in a flat monotone with a dry humor. She can often come off as straight-laced and insensitive as well, unknowingly talking down to [[Mundie|Mundies]].

Percival King is at the [[Sweet Jazz City]] police station, looking at a police lineup for suspects. [[Sylvester Ashling]] is running the operation, asking Percy if she knows who in the lineup is the criminal. Percy responds she only heard the criminals voice whilst singing the song "I want it that way". Sylvie asks the criminals to sing "I want it that way". Number one, [[Ramsey Murdoch]], hesitates before singing the opening section. [[Mera Salamin]], [[Indus Tarbella]], and [[Giovanni Potage]] sing the following sections. All five criminals then sing the following section together. Criminal five, [[Zora Salazar]], sings the section "I never wanna hear you say" by herself. All of the criminals sing the last section together before Percy makes a comment that criminal number five is the one who killed her brother. Sylvie then admits he forgot they were looking for a criminal in the excitement of singing.

==Abilities==
===Skillset===
*'''Sword Proficiency:''' Percy is shown to be very skilled in wielding a "real-ass goddamn sword".
*'''Architecture knowledge:''' Percy has a vast knowledge of architecture, so much so she takes architectural work as a side job.
*'''Cone Milking''': She knows how to milk a pinecone to get stamina, a useful skill in battle.

===Unique Abilities===
*'''[[Epithet]]: Parapet:''' Percy's epithet allows her to instantly create small (approximately 3 feet tall<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189866322112/hello-i-have-a-weird-question-but-a-bet-is Ask: Hello, i have a weird question but a bet is - JelloApocalypse on Tumblr - December 25, 2019]</ref>) buildings with a variety of different effects, but the quality of the building depends on its foundation. However, her towers cannot be built on organic matter. <ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189981125637/combining-your-info-about-all-the-different?is_related_post=1 Ask: Combining your info about all the different - JelloApocalypse on Tumblr - December 31, 2019]</ref>
**'''Apothecary:''' Percy can create a little mushroom-hut apothecary that can heal injuries or calm someone within her range. However, it can not heal any mental injuries.
**'''Wizard Tower:''' Percy can create a tiny castle tower with electricity coming out from the top which she can fire at command. They also can exhibit electromagnetic fields capable of stopping bullets in the air, when used in a pair.
***'''Static Cling:''' A combo technique she performs with [[Ramsey Murdoch|Ramsey]], summoning as many Wizard Towers as possible to zap Ramsey (whilst he’s made of gold) while he's holding on to the opponent.
**'''Repairing: '''Percy can restore any broken inanimate objects in accordance with her stamina, such as a smashed saloon door.<ref name="EP6" />
**'''Forge: '''Percy can create a small house shaped forge with a chimney and kiln. This apparently has a positive effect on defense, but it has yet to be shown.

==Equipment==
*'''Real-Ass Goddamned Sword''': ''A real sword that can cut people. This sword is more intimidating than the pea-shooters and guns others use. This is because the sword can cut people whilst the guns only deal minor impact damage.''
*'''[[Sweet Jazz Police Department#Equipment|Uniform]]''': ''to be added''
*'''[[Eraser Cuffs]]''': ''Handcuffs that erase a persons memory of their [[Epithet]]. This keeps your Epithet out of your long-term memory so even if you are told it, you will forget in about thirty seconds. Any memories relating to a person's Epithet are like static fuzz in an inscribed mind.''<ref>[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/tagged/epithet%20lore/page/4 Jello states these two facts on his Tumblr.]</ref>

==Relationships==
{{Expand}}
===[[Ramsey Murdoch]]===
Percy has a reluctant alliance with [[Ramsey Murdoch]] who is a con-artist, after being persuaded by him. The two end up to be a rather good team, however, Percy is still rather ignorant of Ramsey's health and safety. Upon realized he has been a criminal who has been reported on multiple forgery cases and witnessing his epithet, Percy is displeased with him lying and proceeds to arrest him, but still convinces him to use his appraising skills for the law force if he has a chance in order to allow him to make up for his past crimes, even promising him to give him a comfortable stay in jail.

===[[Howie Honeyglow]]===
[[Howie Honeyglow|Howie]] has a strained history with Percy and hence they are rivals since [[Howie Honeyglow|Howie]] is a [[Mundie]] who dislikes epithets, and they both work in construction. Percy has no understanding of being a [[Mundie]], leading [[Howie Honeyglow|Howie]] to be rather snappy towards her when she talks about her epithet/other Inscribed. Despite this, Percy attempts to be amicable with him sometimes, even thanking him for when he helps her.

===Adaption from Anime Campaign===
*In ''[[Anime Campaign]]'', Percy is a player character who investigated [[Redwood Run]] alongside [[Eros]] and [[Meryl Lockhart]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK0V6dS5gBo Anime Campaign EP1 - (Official Upload)]</ref>

===Design===
*Her name means pierce, befitting her choice of being a sword wielder.
**It is also derived from the name of one of the Round Table Knights.
*Parapet is actually based on a tower defense game, in which the player chooses from a pool different small towers and constructs one per "turn". This can explain her low stamina.

===Tier Lists===

'''Giovanni Potage''' is a former Banzai Captain of the [[Banzai Blasters]], who broke into the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]] with the rest of [[Giovanni's Banzai Team|his team]] while having no real goal other than "stealing artifacts". He was defeated and captured by [[Mera Salamin]] and [[Indus Tarbella]] but would eventually defeat them with his new-found friend and minion, [[Molly Blyndeff]], as well as acquiring the powerful [[Epithet]]-stealing [[Arsene Amulet]].

A few days later, he went to [[Redwood Run]] to get the amulet appraised by [[Ramsey Murdoch]], learning its true value before it was stolen from him by [[Bugsy Pugsler]] and [[Arnold Markdown]]. This ruined his trust in the Banzai Blasters, vowing to form his own villain group. He also got caught up in a bar brawl where he managed to get some revenge on the two but also accidentally revealed his name to the cop, [[Percival King]]. Afterward, he went into hiding as the [[Sweet Jazz Police Department]] was after him.

Later, he adopted a new villain persona, '''Vincent Murder''' and called a meeting with the same minions to officially form their new [[Giovanni's Villain Group|villain group]]. Realizing that none of them would be available for his upcoming mission, he visited Molly to announce this all to her. However, he ended up being dragged into Molly's sister, [[Lorelai Blyndeff|Lorelai's]], Dream Bubble. He attempted to befriend her and recruit her as a minion. But, when he learned of her true nature, he helped Molly defeat her before "kidnapping" Molly so she would have a much happier life.

His Epithet, [[Soup|★Soup★]], allows him to create soup. He manages to make the power useful through his immense creativity. He's equipped with a bat with a knife taped to it (the Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction) and is backed up by a small crew of minions to also help bolster his strength.

==Appearance==
Giovanni is a tall lanky young man with white skin and pink hair. His outfit as a [[Banzai Captain]] is a yellow suit with the Banzai "B" shown askew and resembling a "W". He wears a red cape tied at the neck and spiky yellow shoulder pads with white rims. His yellow top is buttoned not down the middle, but crossing over to his left side. He wears yellow gloves with red and white pads and four spikes on each hand. He has on white boots with red accents and soles. He also does not wear a helmet or face covering of any kind unlike his [[Giovanni's Villain Group|minions]].

His new villain outfit includes a matching orange and black skirt and cape, black leggings, an orange shirt, a black catcher's mask with an orange visor, and white boots. He is also wearing black armor with a white 'X' in the middle and white knee pads. His previous Banzai Captain uniform included a yellow suit with white boots and a red cape. His whole costume is covered in flame decals.

When in casual clothes, he wears a dark pink jacket with a fluffy white hood and jeans, alongside black nail polish on occasion. He also wears dark boots with white laces.

==Personality==
{{Expand}}
{{CitationNeeded}}
Giovanni is a very ambitious troublemaker who loves baseball, robots, and anything edgy. He has dreams of one day becoming the greatest supervillain of all time.

Giovanni usually ''tries'' to look cool and menacing (when it just comes off as pathetic). This was shown when he attempts to knock over a potted plant to prove that he is a "Certified Bad Dude™" and fails.<ref name="EP1"></ref>

Giovanni believes that his [[Epithet]] [[Soup|★Soup★]] doesn't sound cool or threatening at all, and may even be embarrassed by it, so he tries to make his attacks sound cooler by calling scalding soup "lava" or steam "demon energy".

Despite being one of the "bad guys", he seems to have a secret soft side as he is shown to care deeply about every one of his minions, even if he's willing to mess with them at times. He has sworn to never abuse his authority or steal his minions' hard labor and goes so far as to quit the [[Banzai Blasters]] entirely when convinced that the only way to get ahead is to do so.

He appears to have had a strange idea of what being a Banzai Blaster meant in the first place, as despite it being a blatantly corrupt pyramid scheme, he believed it was a place for youths to channel their energy positively through crime. When his team hadn't been given a leader due to not being deemed worthwhile, Giovanni displayed leadership skills and organized activities and crimes for the group, allowing them to grow closer, inadvertently winning him their loyalty. When he quit, his Boys were more than happy to join him, despite Giovanni's complete lack of planning.

He's very emotional as he cries very easily and has quite a temper.

==History==
===Past===
{{Expand}}
He was born on February 6<ref name="GPI" /> to his mother and a seed donor,{{CitNeed}}, in [[Sweet Jazz City]], [[Taiga Country]].<ref name="PoB">[https://twitter.com/EpithetErased/status/1582879890579152896 Epithet Erased on Twitter - October 19, 2022]</ref> He grew up with his two moms{{CitNeed}}, one of them being [[Rhonda Potage]].<ref name="EP5"/>

Giovanni was an outcast among his family and, during family get-togethers, would get beaten up by the Roughhouses (especially [[Moxie Roughhouse]]). During one infamous get-together, Giovanni humiliated himself by eating a lump of hot coal that he thought was "forbidden candy", resulting in him burning his mouth.<ref name="PoPCh2">[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 2: Vincent Murder</ref> He then kept on accidentally reopening the wound while training his [[Epithet]] [[Soup|★Soup★]], causing him to become mostly taste deaf.<ref>[[Prison of Plastic]], Chapter 11: Judgement</ref> [[Trixie]] and [[Rex]] were the only Roughhouses who didn't beat up Giovanni, because they were relatively younger than him. This caused Giovanni to play with them more frequently until the three became close friends with each other. Despite this, Trixie still found him lame.<ref name="PoPCh2"/>

He became a member of a [[Banzai Blasters]] squad with [[Ben]], [[Flamethrower]], [[Car Crash]], [[Spike]], [[Crusher]], and [[Dark Star]], without a leader. Initially wanted to be called "Hot Shot", he would end up with the nickname "Creampuff ” to mock him for bringing a tray of homemade pastries to their squad’s first meeting as a way to say hello to his new teammates.<ref name="PoPProB"/>

Whenever the group was in danger of settling into that “standing around in a parking lot and doing nothing” flavor of teenage boredom typical of a Banzai Blaster squad, Giovanni would "light a fire under them". They had show-and-tell nights where they would see who could steal and present the strangest item. Winners got star stickers. One time, they snuck into a convenience store and replaced all of the gas station hot dogs with cattails from a nearby pond. Giovanni had so many ideas for things to do that following his plans became second nature. Dark Star jokingly called him “Boss” and the nickname stuck.<ref name="PoPProB">[[Prison of Plastic]], Prologue B: The Banzai Blasters</ref>

Later, he was promoted to Banzai Captain. He formulated a plan to break into the [[Sweet Jazz City Museum]], wanting to break in at midnight but had to do it earlier due to not having a ride that would take them at that time.<ref name="EP1">[[Epithet Erased]] | [[Quiet in the Museum!|EP1 - Quiet in the Museum!]]</ref>

Giovanni Potage, with the help of [[Molly Blyndeff]], [[Ben]], and [[Car Crash]] disguised as Ben, attempted to steal a valuable gemstone named the Ocean's Eye. Whilst this is happening, they are in plush form to advertise the then-new merch that can no longer be purchased. Molly distracts a guard so Giovanni and his boys can get into the vents. Using the magnets in their hands to make a human chain, they descend to steal the Ocean's Eye. Molly cuts the red string lasers surrounding the valuable gem and Ben tries to pick it up. After he struggles with this, Giovanni muses that in the movies the thieves have no trouble carrying the valuable treasure. Giovanni realizes he can carry Car Crash with no problem and that friendship must be the real treasure. Giovanni and Car Crash leave gleefully via the vent they were dangling from accidentally leaving Ben in the museum. The three of them, Giovanni, Molly, and Car Crash, go on to steal ice cream.

==Abilities==
===Skillset===
*'''Bat Proficiency:''' Giovanni is quite skilled at wielding a baseball bat<ref>Throughout [[Epithet Erased]]</ref>. Giovanni once claimed that when it comes to baseball, he cannot be beaten{{CitNeed}}, and he seemingly has multiple trophies in his room to prove it.<ref name="EP5"/> He uses his custom-made "Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction", which is a baseball bat with a knife taped to it.<ref name="EP1"/>
*'''Knitting''': 'Giovanni is quite skilled at knitting. He used this skill to sit down with Molly to knit a bandana for Corporal Other Bear. He also always carries a knitting/sewing kit with him.<ref name="EP2"/>
*'''Chef''': Giovanni is an excellent chef who can make more than just soup. He is seen to have made soup, cream puffs, cookies, pancakes, waffles, apple-cinnamon raisin waffles, eggs, and bacon, and is implied to make other foods. He does always need a taste tester to assist him like [[Rhonda Potage|Giomommy]] or one of his [[Banzai Blasters|minions]] so he can adjust his flavoring. The end product is always good.

===Unique Abilities===
{{CitationNeeded}}
*'''[[Epithet]]: Soup:''' Giovanni's epithet allows him to create and control soup. While a seemingly useless [[Epithet]] at first, his high Creativity allows for it to be a versatile power.
**'''<s>Lava</s> <s>Acid</s>''' '''Lav-acid:''' Giovanni can form orbs of tomato basil soup out of thin air. This ball of soup is also described as scalding by Giovanni.
***'''Lava Grenade:''' Giovanni creates a scalding hot orb of soup that he can launch at an area. When it hits the floor, it explodes, hitting enemies in its vicinity.
**'''Demon Energy Aura:''' Giovanni creates a whirlwind of soupy energy, capable of blasting dust particles away.
***'''Teleports Behind You*:''' Giovanni builds up steam around him, using this for a sudden burst of speed to the point where it looks like teleportation to observers. This can also be used to give himself a large jump. He seems to only be able to cover half the distance whilst carrying another person, although this was only demonstrated with a malnourished child.
***'''Fog of Lost Souls:''' Giovanni covers the area with a blanket of thick, delicious-smelling fog, useful for making a getaway. It also restores 1 HP for anyone standing in it.
**'''Soup That is Too Hot:''' This is Giovanni's self-proclaimed ultimate attack. He can increase the temperature of soup, without a line of sight.
**'''Ancient Potion'''<ref name="EP3" />/'''Liquid Phoenix'''<ref name="PoPCh2" />: Giovanni sweats a bottle of healthy soup that he can drink to regain 15 Stamina. Giovanni can only use this move once per battle. The only time known time he uses it in battle is when he fought [[Dr. Beefton]].<ref name="EP2" /> He also uses this ability outside of battle, where he generates soup in a toy dumpster truck to revitalize an unconscious [[Rick Shades]].<ref name="PoPCh2" />
*'''CRITICAL 13:'''<ref name=":0">[https://jelloapocalypse.tumblr.com/post/189242080482/so-can-giovanni-do-the-13th-hit-thing-because-of Ask: So, can Giovanni do the 13th hit thing because of... - November 22, 2019 - JelloApocaslpe on Tumblr]</ref> As 13 is Giovanni's lucky number, every 13th attack he performs deals extra damage. This can be charged up ahead of time by gently knocking objects or smashing them.<ref name="EP3" /> This ability is not related to his [[Epithet]] as far as anyone can tell.<ref name=":0" /> This could also be placebo.

**'''Silent But Deadly:''' A combo technique he performs with [[Molly Blyndeff]], Charging at the opponent screaming with a Critical 13 attack ready, while [[Molly Blyndeff|Molly]] deafens the opponent so that are unaware of him approaching.

===Former Abilities===
*'''Gargoyle Transformation''': Upon meeting [[Lorelai Blyndeff|Lorelai]] asks her to make a gargoyle potion. This allows him to harden into a rock statue, beforehand setting a time for himself to un-solidify. It also gives him wings which let him fly and horns.<ref name="PoPCh2"/>
**
**This ability was taken away or was no longer being supplied with energy once [[Lorelai Blyndeff|Lorelai]] went running to her room to sulk.

==Equipment==
*'''Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction''': A baseball bat with a knife tapped to it. He used it throughout the [[Museum Arc]] like his attacks on [[Mera Salamin]] and battle with [[Dr. Beefton]].
*'''"Barbed" Bat''': A baseball bat with "barbed wire" wrapped around it. This barbed wire is black spray-painted Christmas lights. This bat is shown in the one-on-one fight Giovanni has against [[Lorelai Blyndeff|the Harridan]]. This is because his mom, likely [[Rhonda Potage|Giomommy]] specifically told him he couldn't buy barbed wire. He later in the book has his Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction when knighting [[Rick Shades|Rick]], [[Molly Blyndeff|Molly]], and [[Trixie Roughhouse|Trixie]]. The change in weapons is never explained.
*'''Vincent Murder Uniform''': His costume, hand made for crime because his identity as Giovanni Potage was compromised after the events of the Museum break-in and Redwood Run. To cover his face, he wore a catcher's mask that paired nicely with his Soul Slugger Doom Bat of maximum destruction. The helmet had an orange visor taped to it on the inside giving it a tacky look. The uniform also has black pauldrons that have cupholders built into them. These cupholders could, by themselves, hold the healing soup Giovanni makes. The costume's cape was black with a bleached inside and light red flame decals licking the bottom. The battle skirt was black with flame designs on it similar to the ones on his cape. The costume has a neon-orange undershirt that could only be accurately compared to Lav-acid and black chunks of blastic layered on top like cooling chunks of magma. The costume's pants were black with piercing white boots and knee pads. The costume's utility belt was that same white and contained calling cards, white baseballs, at least one red marker, and many other useful objects. The costume has black gloves with long sleeves that extend near the elbow. These gloves each had one white spike on their side. A large white "X" symbol was fixed on the costume's chest. The book does differ from art in this costume's details. The book states his gloves are black and fingerless, showing off red painted nails as opposed to his usual black. The book also states that his leggings are also Lav-acid orange instead of black.
*'''Knitting Kit''': Giovani keeps his [[Rhonda Potage|mother's]] sewing kit on him to knit as well. He uses this mostly for crafts, as it is not specified that he needs to fix things around his mother's house or friend group. This was likely used in the creation of his Vincent Murder Uniform.<ref name="EP2"/>
*'''Phone''': Giovanni has a pink flip phone which he uses to call and consult to [[Ramsey Murdoch]] as well as set up a meeting in [[Redwood Run]] to appraise the [[Arsene Amulet]].<ref name="EP5"/>
*'''Calling cards''': Giovanni has many premade calling cards which are white baseballs that have varying words scribbled all over them in red. He has been known to custom-make these to give to specific people. He hits or throws these towards friend and foe, anyone who he wants to remember him.

===Former Equipment===
{{CitationNeeded}}
*'''[[Banzai Captain Uniform]]''': The outfit of a [[Banzai Captain]] is a yellow suit with the [[Banzai Blasters|Banzai]] "B" shown askew and resembling a "W". We do not know if Giovanni did this himself or if it is part of the uniform. Each Captain can add one piece of aesthetic addition, like a cape. Spiky yellow shoulder pads with white rims adorn the costume. The yellow top is buttoned not down the middle, but crossing over to the wearer's left side. The costume has yellow gloves with red and white pads and four spikes on each hand. The costume has white boots with red accents and soles. The costume does not include a helmet. Giovanni stopped using his costume when he left the [[Banzai Blasters]].
*'''[[Banzai Blaster]] Peashooter''': A standard issue peashooter given to all [[Banzai Blasters]]. He seemingly relinquished it when he left the [[Banzai Blasters]].
*'''Banzai Blaster Manual''': Giovanni used the Banzai Blaster Manual to look up [[Ramsey Murdoch]] as a contact so he can use his appraisal abilities on the [[Arsene Amulet]].<ref name="EP5"/>
*'''[[Arsene Amulet]]''': He acquired the [[epithet]] stealing amulet after defeating [[Mera Salamin]] with the help of [[Molly Blyndeff]]. He temporarily gave it to Molly to restore [[Sylvester Ashling]]'s [[Epithet]] after it was stolen by Mera.<ref name="EP4"/> He went to get appraised by [[Ramsey Murdoch]] but was jumped [[Bugsy Pugsler]] and [[Arnold Markdown]] and the amulet was stolen.<ref name="EP5"/> Despite managing to get some revenge on them, he was unable to reclaim the amulet.<ref name="EP6"/>

==Relationships==
===[[Molly Blyndeff]]===
{{Quote|You're just as important as everyone else is, Bear Trap!|source = "[[Bear Trap (Episode)|Bear Trap]]"|saidby = [[Giovanni Potage]]}}
[[File:D'awwwwww! That's sweet!.jpg|thumb|220x220px|Giovanni comforting Molly]]
At first, Giovanni saw Molly as a minor nuisance who hindered his heist. But after Giovanni was forced to recruit her to escape their "prison", Giovanni began to take a liking to "Bear Trap" after they began bonding over their mutual interests. Eventually, when Giovanni learns about Molly's familial troubles, he begins to give her an inspiring pep talk about how she shouldn't let her family push her around and that she should learn to stand up for herself.

===[[Mera Salamin]]===
[[File:Mera Teasing Giovanni.png|thumb|220x220px|Mera teasing Giovanni]]
Giovanni shares a mutual hatred with Mera after Mera injures Dark Star, Spike, and Crusher, and later tries to harm Molly. Another reason why he loathes her is how she intervenes in his plans and mocks how sloppy his approach is when it comes to crime. He takes pleasure after he manages to beat Mera in the final confrontation in the museum.

===[[Sylvester Ashling]]===
Giovanni and Sylvie got off to a bad start and got worse from there. His tolerance levels for Sylvie hit rock bottom after he used Nightmare Fuel on Molly, which surrounded them with fire and terrified Molly so much she started crying. After that, Giovanni's prime instinct when it came to Sylvie was to protect Molly from him and he wanted nothing more than to knock Sylvie on his backside. After defeating him in battle, he took delight in rubbing it in Sylvie's face but did not appreciate the remarks he made towards him and Molly, to say the least. He wanted to hit him with his Soul Slugger Doom Bat of Maximum Destruction, and if it wasn't for Molly's kindness and wisdom, he would have done just that. He reluctantly agrees to let Sylvie join the [[Banzai Blasters]] but only because he sees Molly is right about them needing to team up if they want to defeat [[Mera]]. Only to be irritated by Sylvie even further when he outright refuses to do such a thing, laughs at the idea, and scoffs at Giovanni for assuming he would follow him because, in his words, Giovanni is weaker than he is. They team up all the same, though albeit, very reluctantly. Giovanni and Sylvie's alliance is an unstable one as they dislike each other a great deal and have absolutely no respect for each other whatsoever. With Giovanni mocking and berating Sylvie at every opportunity, Sylvie gets more and more irritated with him as each moment passes. Giovanni is likely holding a grudge against Sylvie; still angry with him for attacking him and Molly and scaring Molly to the point of tears. If he is still upset, he likely won't let it go until he hears Sylvie apologize for his actions. Giovanni has previously referred to Sylvie by insulting nicknames such as Four-Eyes and Dork.

===[[Rhonda Potage]]===
Giovanni displays a huge distaste towards one of his moms, mostly due to how she is obnoxious and strict towards him, not to mention that while she always forbids him to do “crime things”, she is a hypocrite who presumably drinks at her "yoga classes". Therefore, Giovanni often talks smack behind her back.<ref name="EP5"/>

===[[Car Crash]]===
[[File:Giovanni being a worried boy.PNG|thumb|220x220px|Giovanni expresses worry for Car Crash]]
As Giovanni shares a mutual friendship with all of his minions, Car Crash is no different. Giovanni feels comfortable with ranting about his parental issues to him and trusts him enough to drive him to [[Redwood Run]] (despite his namesake).

===[[Lorelai Blyndeff]]===
Lorelai quickly became infatuated with Vincent. While Giovanni was consistently friendly with Lorelai, he was also disgusted by her bullying (especially of Molly) and how she lied and cheated to attempt to win a challenge to bake cookies. Despite Lorelai's faults and past actions, Giovanni still gave Lorelai his phone number (albeit under his real name, which initially confused her). Despite this, he still calls her by her fake name, the Harridan or HAREidan as she puts it. They are on good terms, but not quite friends as she still needs to learn sportsmanship, continuing and coping after failure, and how to be a minion. His relationship with Lorelai shows that he mostly wants his friends, flare, and fortitude in his morals rather than to do horrible deeds.

===[[Crusher]] & [[Spike]]===
Both Crusher and Spike have a massive crush on Giovanni, but Giovanni views their affection as admiration and seems oblivious to the fact that they are romantically attracted to him. Spike only demonstrated this once, whilst Crusher has been explicitly stated to have a crush on Giovanni.
