Character name: Bonnibel Bubblegum
Fandom: Adventure Time and its spinoff, Marceline and the Scream Queens
Timeline: Most recent episode yo
Age: 18 (actually... she's been 18 for a while, hasn't she?)
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: ....Um, well.... she's made of candy?
Because she is made of candy (or... candy biomass... whatever) she's completely edible! Although I doubt she would appreciate it if anybody took advantage of that.
Also, even if her body is broken to the point where a normal person would definitely be dead, skilled doctors can piece back together her body because... she's made of candy. And even if they lost some of it, they could just put her back together smaller and she'd be a younger version of herself. (No, really.) It's still pretty useless, though.
How would they use their abilities?: ............Hopefully not by getting somebody to chew up her hair or something.
Appearance: Princess Bubblegum looks human- if humans had unnaturally pink skin and hair made out of bubblegum. But otherwise she looks human! A human girl in her late teens with long, pink hair (made out of bubblegum- did I mention that already?) She's usually wearing a pink, royal-ish dress, since she IS royalty, but she's shown to switch it up when doing more casual activities, like hanging out with friends, watching movies, going on a world rock tour, or saving the hero from the clutches of the evil Ice King. Also, her hair is made of bubblegum.
Background/Personality:
Princess Bubblegum is, before anything else, the princess and ruler of the Candy Kingdom (which, despite its name, is more of a principality.) The Candy Kingdom is one of many kingdoms and countries spread across the land of Ooo, a land full of magic and wonder that's actually the far-future of the Earth after a nuclear holocaust. (No, really, I can't make this shit up.)
She's a kind and benevolent ruler, one that's beloved to her (candy) people. She rules fairly and justly, and, by all accounts, she does a very good job managing her kingdom. Because of her skill in managing her kingdom, she also tends to organize and manage events such as symposiums, competitions, parties, and rock band tours.
But her duties as princess always comes first, and she takes those duties seriously – like, super seriously. In the episode "Burning Low," she gave a speech to Finn, a hero who often works with Princess Bubblegum as her knight, about the weight of one's duties, and how they can often demand personal sacrifice, at a time when Finn was torn between doing what's right and following his heart. It's a bit of a mix-up from the usual stereotype, since it's usually knights who follow duty above all else and the princesses who would rather follow their heart, and it's used to contrast Finn's happy-go-lucky demeanor (and perhaps naivety) to Princess Bubblegum's sense of responsibility and maturity.
As mentioned, Princess Bubblegum is kind and benevolent. She would definitely rate a "Lawful Good" alignment. She visits orphanages, helps her subjects, and always works to bettering the world. Still, when duty calls for it, when her responsibilities demand it, she's willing to bend her morals, to do something that's undeniably wrong for the greater good. At one point, her kingdom was suffering and a single man's screams were the only thing that could cure it (it's magic, okay?) She didn't even hesitate to suggest torture. That isn't to say that she enjoys it, thinks it's right, or even approves of it herself, seeing as how when the incident is resolved, she basically broke down because she knows how wrong it is. But she's also the one who suggested keeping Flame Princess, the princess of the Fire Kingdom (which is actually ruled by a king) locked in a lantern forever to keep her unstable flames from burning everything ever. Basically, she's a good person, but willing to make the tough calls for the good of the world and her subjects.
On occasion, though, Princess Bubblegum is shown to not be all candy-coated goodness, even with her subjects. For example, when stressed, she tends to eat ice cream, even if it's sapient ice cream, and sometimes eats her subjects at other times to replace lost candy biomass. They don't seem to mind, though. Much. She can hold grudges for a long time, too, as seen with both the Duke of Nuts (man, does she hate that guy – and he hasn't even done anything, really!) and Marceline (who probably did do something.)
Despite devoting so much time and effort into ruling her kingdom, Princess Bubblegum makes time for her friends and her hobbies. Her main hobby is SCIENCE~! Her skill in SCIENCE~ really can't be overstated – she's a genius, and perhaps one of the most intellectual minds in all of Ooo. She has an undying, unrelenting passion for SCIENCE~, and can most likely be found in a science lab if she's not ruling or hanging out with friends. Sometimes, her SCIENCE~ even keeps her from sleep for days, such as when she was constructing a replacement ruler out of DNA and candy, or creating the perfect sandwich (it's SCIENCE~ okay?) She believes firmly in her own skill and in the power of SCIENCE~, such as in "Lady & Peebles" when she uses SCIENCE~ to rescue Finn and Finn's dog/roommate/brother Jake. However, SCIENCE~ is a field of uncertainty at times, and while some experiments work out perfectly, some really don't, as seen in the fact that Princess Bubblegum is directly responsible for a zombie apocalypse, twice.
Also, I really like typing SCIENCE~. SCIENCE~ SCIENCE~ SCIENCE~!
As a ruler, though, Princess Bubblegum tends to be prim and proper, especially when formally engaged in princessing. (Yes, that's a word.) She also tends to expect a certain level of properness in others – while she's usually okay with Finn's childish antics, for example, she draws the line at some of the offensive remarks and actions from Marceline, the vampire queen.
But that's not the only side to her. She's always shown to have a pretty good sense of humor, and when she's hanging out with friends, she can be pretty casual and fun, too. At times like that, she dresses down, and even adopts a more casual tone. Basically, when she's not on-duty, she acts more like a normal teenager does. She's able to loosen up and have fun, chilling with friends at parties or movie nights or rock concerts, despite expectations otherwise due to her station and royalty. She enjoys spending time with her friends, especially Lady Rainicorn, her oldest and best friend, and Finn, her knight and hero. And Marceline, I guess, but that shit's getting marked as complicated on Facebook.
It's impossible to describe events important to Princess Bubblegum without mentioning the Lich. A lich is, by definition, a spellcaster who's overcome death, using dark and foul magic to keep themselves alive as an undead warlock, growing in power after death and seeking to spread evil everywhere. Well, the Lich of Ooo is worse. His very presence spreads death, his very essence is pure evil, and his only goal is the complete and utter destruction of all life everywhere. It was Princess Bubblegum's duty to watch over the Lich in his eternal prison of amber, but one day he escaped that prison.
Through a combination of bad luck, stupid people, and her eternal penchant for being kidnapped, Princess Bubblegum ended up at the site of the battle between the recently-awakened Lich and Finn, and ended up taking a dunk in the Lich's well of dark magic and radiation that almost killed her. And then she was possessed by the Lich, turned into a dark and twisted version of herself, and was then killed. She was pieced back together, but the doctor's couldn't find all of her body, so she ended up being revived as a much younger girl.
Although she eventually aged back up by absorbing candy biomass from her subjects (willingly given, I should add-) the entire ordeal led to her trying to come to terms with her own mortality. She tried to accept it, but she had trouble with it. She was afraid of dying, of leaving her subjects with nobody to lead them. She wouldn't live forever (although she would if she could.) That's what led her to creating Goliad, a ruler to take over once she was gone, one who would live forever. (It didn't turn out too well, though.)
Overall, Princess Bubblegum is a good friend, a superb scientist, and a great ruler, one who takes her duties seriously but still enjoys having fun with friends and not getting killed by the Lich. The end.
Why should that character be in this game: Because this isn't an OC.
Why do you want to continue their history here: Because their only history is canon, and if I didn't continue that, then it wouldn't be canon.
For applicants considering an alternate version of a character already in game, please use this as your chance to explain the key differences between your character and the one already in play: Because this question doesn't apply.

[ The video feed turns on to show what appears to be a teenage girl with pink skin and magenta hair, wearing a lab coat and giant glasses. She's furiously taking notes and seems distracted before realizing, hey, the video feed's on, I should probably say something. ] Hey, the video feed's on, I should probably say something.
Greetings, residents of Thor! My name is Princess Bubblegum. [ Yeah, her hair looks like bubblegum. Fitting name. ] I couldn't help but notice that a good number of you all seem to be human, or at least look a remarkable amount like humans. Humans are pretty much extinct where I come from, so I'd like to take a few moments to ask you all a few questions. It'll only be a few moments of your time!
[ She clears her throat, getting ready. And the sheet of paper she's holding unfolds, to show it's actually a long printout of some kind... and it unfolds to about 30 sheets long. ]
All right, let's start off with the easy questions. Where are you from? What date are you from? What's the dominant life form where and when you're from? What's the proper name for your species? Has your species always existed where you're from? If not, how and when did it develop? How scientifically-inclined is your culture as a whole? Magically-inclined? Are there any major sapient life-forms on your planet besides your own species?
Aaaaand that's it.
[ Really? ]
For the first page!
[ Nope... ]
3rd person sample:
"Well, gee, I'd love to hear your poetry!" Princess Bubblegum was trying to be diplomatic. As a princess, ruler of the Candy Kingdom, she was used to being diplomatic. Although dressed down today, in a casual pair of jeans and a hoodie, she still tried to maintain diplomacy and good relations with others. That wouldn't change aboard a spaceship.
Unfortunately for her, the one who wanted her to listen to poetry was a vogon. And nobody had warned her about their poetry.
It started off decently, at least for the first few syllables. By the time they got to "like a wart on the bottom lip of a Garanthyan mudslug," her smile was obviously forced and her right eye was twitching. What in glob could rhyme with "Garanthyan mudslug" anyway!? This was an atrocity, a blasphemy to every poet who ever slammed down a rhyme!
Princess Bubblegum wasn't an accomplished poet herself, mostly sticking to SCIENCE~, though she had taken a pen to paper for poems a few times while growing up. Even those attempts were far better than this. Of course, her friends, especially Marceline, could lay out rhymes much, much better. But this? Torture. This was torture!
"I can't take any more!" she cried out halfway through the next line. The vogon blinked as the princess slapped her hand over her mouth, then sheepishly coughed and stood up. "I'm... I'm sorry. I think I left my oven on. I have to go!" Without even waiting for a response, she quickly made an exit.
...By the way, it ends up that "Corinthian dud mug" is what rhymes.
Questions?:What's your favorite color? YOU GUYS DIDN'T ANSWER ME LAST TIME!
Did you put your character's name and fandom in the subject: I'm guessing I did, but since I'm writing this all out ahead of time and copying and pasting, I suppose there's a possibility that I have – I will? – overlook it. I'm not a time traveller, so I really have no way of checking this at my current point in time. :(
