Character name: King Candy / Turbo
Fandom: Wreck it Ralph
Timeline: Post movie
Age: ...N/A. He's at least 20 years old in game years, but he looks... like an older gentleman as King Candy. As Turbo he looks ... um, dead, actually.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths:

King Candy/Turbo is a racing game character. He has epic racing abilities and he's pretty obsessed with winning, too. He can shoot candy out of his car and he's actually the best racer in the game. He's pretty famous for it - the only racer that actually could give him a run for his money is Vanellope.

He's very good at hacking, having made the entirety of King Candy (both his appearance and his personality) up by using pieces of unused code. He forced his way into the game Sugar Rush and spliced it to such an extent that all of the racers saw King Candy as their true king.

Acting is another skill he has - he's able to play King Candy without a single slip up until the absolute end of the movie, and he's with the other racers (and Sour Bill) 24/7.

As a cybug, Turbo/KC can roll himself for protection and barrel towards his prey - probably because his racing kart had also been swallowed alongside Turbo himself. When he flies, his wings glow a bright, fuchsia pink and

How would they use their abilities?:

He'd use his skills in hacking/coding to fuck with people, more often than not. And he'd use them to figure out how the comms work, as well as how the ship itself flies. He'd be very interested to see what it means to be 'real', and whether or not you can add cheatcodes to real life.

As far as racing goes, he'll probably try to set some sort of racing league up to ensure that that stuff can continue. I mean, the ship's big enough, right?

Appearance:

King Candy is short but sweet. He has a round, bald head with two tufts of grey hair spilling out above his ears, he has big, beady eyes and a big, pink nose. His eyebrows are grey (just like his hair) and he has a crown that's constantly sitting at an angle on top of his head. Wearing bright colours (a violet jacket with tails, a white shirt and a light caramel waistcoat, gold and caramel puffy pants and purple shoes with a red ball on top of them) tends to suit him, and he can sometimes be seen with a red and white striped candy cane. An actual cane. His racing gear includes a golden helmet, brown gloves and brown goggles (with red lenses).

Turbo wears a white tracksuit with red accents. His helmet is white with a large T on the top, and his trademark image is of him grinning. With a grey, sullen face and yellow eyes and teeth, he often looks as though he's deathly ill.

As a cybug, he's thirty feet long and his face glitches in between that of King Candy's and Turbo's. Turbo's face remains unchanged, because he hadn't been wearing his own avatar when he'd been swallowed - so as King Candy's face is the default avatar, his appearance is the one that's been changed. There are large, jagged purple striped that go across his forehead and up along his chin towards the corner of his mouth. His teeth are sharper, his body is... well, bugged out. His body is full of bright colours, from purple, orange, pink and red. Even his crown has changed - it's been fused onto his head permanently, and its spikes are sharp. His wings can be folded away at will, and when he using them to fly, they become a bright, glowing pink.

He still has manners, though. Apparently. He kept his cufflinks and his candy wrapper bowtie, because even a cybug needs to look like a gentleman.

Background/Personality:

History:

During the 1980s, arcade games were the hit thing - and one game in particular had become a huge hit with the kids. It was called Turbo Time, and it was the most popular game in the arcade. Unfortunately, time tends to move on, and it wasn't long until another racing game came out - Roadblasters. Roadblasters had better graphics, more to offer and it attracted the kids like opposite ends of a magnet. Turbo became incredibly jealous of the other game's popularity, and his jealousy lead towards reprogramming himself into Roadblasters which subsequently ended in both games being unplugged from the arcade. Somehow, Turbo managed to escape long before the games were killed and he spent a long time learning about coding, reprogramming and it wasn't long until he became an expert. He found a new game to inhabit and he created a completely new avatar and personality to go with it - this game was called Sugar Rush. Sugar Rush was an imported Japanese racing game that had cute graphics, cute racers aided by a cute candy themed world. The karts were made out of candy, the tracks were made out of candy, the clothes were made out of candy and the landscape was - you guessed it - made entirely out of candy. In order to blend in with this adorable game, he had to hack into the mainframe and it was there that he created the alias of King Candy. He locked everyone's memories away, he hacked Vanellope's code until it had no connection with the rest of the game and he made himself the ruler of Sugar Rush. By cutting Vanellope away from the rest of the game's code, he made Vanellope into a glitch - she was such an integral part of the mainframe that it had to be severed entirely, which caused some problems in her general code make up.

From that moment on, he did everything within his power to keep Vanellope from racing - because she was the rightful ruler of Sugar Rush, if she passed the finish line, all of Turbo's hard work would reset and he'd be left with nothing other than a few lines of broken code and a game full of angry racers. And honestly, he was intelligent enough to keep an eye on all of the loose ends that might have revealed his secret for a good ten years - it was only when Wreck-It Ralph started to feel sorry for Vanellope that things started to go down hill. Seeing Ralph as a threat from the very beginning, Turbo tells him to leave and to never come back and that if he sees him again, he'll be sent to his 'fungeon' (fun dungeon. yep, he's a fan of wordplay).

Needless to say, he sees Ralph again - and he's helping Vanellope! Getting genuinely worried, he tells his guards to find them and to bring them back to his castle. When that turns out to be fruitless, he decides to take matters into his own hands - literally. He goes back into the game's mainframe and takes out the medal Ralph had been searching for and concocts a plan to force Ralph into seeing sense. He tells him that if Vanellope races and the players take her incessant glitching as a fault with a game, they might unplug Sugar Rush (unplugging means that the world will die, and it'll take everyone stuck inside with it - and Vanellope, being a glitch, won't be able to leave, so she'll die too). He tells Ralph that he's just trying to protect Vanellope from herself, because she's so headstrong and stubborn that she could end up getting all of them killed by forcing her way into the race - knowing that he'd succeeded in manipulating Ralph, King Candy gets ready for the roster race.

The race begins smoothly enough, with Vanellope being a no-show (you know, since she's locked in King Candy's fungeon) - but Ralph was one step ahead of King Candy. After seeing Vanellope racing on the side of the Sugar Rush arcade game, he realised that the candy king had been lying, and Ralph breaks Vanellope out of her cell and they quickly make their way towards the race, just catching it seconds after it had begun.

King Candy is the best racer in the game, and he manages to dodge an attack, and eliminate three people from the race all in one quick movement - he may be a villain, but this villain has epic manoeuvrability inside a race kart. Little does he know that Vanellope is quickly sneaking up behind him, and once she's left three more racers in the dust, King Candy sees her. Shocked, he lets her slip by him and then takes a shortcut, ultimately crashing into her (making her kart land on top of his). Trying to shove her off of his kart, the two touch and Vanellope's glitching starts to affect King Candy - and this is where King Candy shows his true colours as Turbo.

The glitching begins to undo the King Candy avatar, with code stripping it down and showing Turbo's true form. Eventually, Vanellope manages to escape by using her glitch, leaving Turbo behind. Being reckless, Turbo speeds up in a last ditch effort to catch her - unfortunately, a Cybug flies in from out of nowhere, opens its mouth and Turbo drives straight into it, unable to movie the kart aside fast enough.

Sugar Rush is now overrun by cybugs (a virus from the game Heroes Duty; they eat everything, and once they've eaten something, they can absorb the characteristics of it - ie, if a cybug eats a gun, that cybug now has two guns on either arm! The only way to stop them is to shine a bright beacon, which they become incredibly drawn to - like a moth to a flame), and everyone is being told to evacuate their game. Vanellope, being a glitch, is unable to leave her game - every time she tries, she's thrown back by an invisible forcefield. Knowing that this is his only chance to save Vanellope, Ralph leaves everyone behind and flies off towards Diet Cola Mountain in order to create a beacon from the mentos covering the 'lid' of the mountain.

It's here that Turbo returns, only something has... changed. The cybug that swallowed him became Turbo and his avatar for King Candy, which meant that Turbo was now the strongest virus in the arcade - and once Ralph had been taken care of, he intended to take over every game connected to Game Central Station.

Turbo ends up grabbing Ralph and lifting him high up into the air, using his newfound body to hold him captive and force him to watch as Vanellope remains unable to leave the game as everything crashes and burns around her. Ralph becomes desperate, and forces his way out of Turbo's grip - he plummets down towards the mentos covering Diet Cola Mountain and smashes into them. Ralph ends up being saved by Vanellope moments before the mentos fall into the diet coke and create a beacon of light.

Unfortunately for Turbo, his cybug side is unable to break out of the hypnosis the beacon creates, and he flies straight into the boiling hot wall of light and diet cola, which subsequently rips his code apart and causes him to die a very painful death.

Personality:

King Candy is charming, flamboyant and absolutely ridiculous. He has trouble staying still for long periods of time, preferring to jump, skip and otherwise break the laws of physics by staying up in the air for too long and making his feet twist at the ankle.

Being goofy and being the comic relief comes naturally to him, and he enjoys nothing more than making funny puns and quick witted remarks. King Candy has been programmed to be cutesy, and that's precisely what he is - he's sweet, he's adorable and he's practically made out of candy himself. He's an incredibly generous and benevolent king, having a bubbly personality and using his overflowing candy fund, he always throws candy out into the crowd along with saying his famous catchphrase 'have some candy!'.

Whilst he's all tickle-fights and kitten whiskers usually, he is the ruler of Sugar Rush, and he takes his job very seriously. He has very little leniency when it comes to people messing with his game, and if he has to put people in his fungeon because they could potentially cause trouble, he will. He's also not above putting other racers in there, should they want to create havoc in any way - he doesn't stand for pranks, and he doesn't appreciate it when people go against the grain simply because they can.

Racing is absolutely everything to King Candy, and there's nothing he won't do to win. He is, after all, the best racer Sugar Rush has. Though when you get down to it, in reality, King Candy is Turbo, and Turbo is egocentric and absolutely obsessed with winning. He uses King Candy's sweet sugarcoated personality as a distraction for the monster he really is, and he doesn't really care how many people he hurts so long as he ends up being the centre of attention. It's honestly somewhat complicated, because Turbo isn't a person, he's a video game character and he's fully aware of being a video game character to such an extent where he's learnt how to manipulate code and create a more palatable version of himself to exist inside a game that shouldn't have him.

This is the personality on display for most of the film: goofy, fun loving, somewhat eccentric, enjoys racing and he seemingly looks out for his subjects. Eventually, Turbo's true personality comes into play, and we discover that not only is King Candy not real, but we also see that Turbo is behind the whole thing.

Turbo is King Candy's true personality, but as there would be no way he could fit in as a racer in the Sugar Rush game, he had to 'invent' a personality to mesh with everyone else's. Acting his way through interactions with everyone else, it eventually becomes second nature to such an extent that every move he makes is in sync as King Candy.

Turbo himself is a cruel, sadistic and tyrannical racer who will do anything within his power to continue racing. He doesn't care how his actions will end up affecting any one else, because in his opinion, he is the best racer in the entire arcade, and he won't let a little thing like being unplugged stop him. Being conceited and arrogant hasn't made him many friends, but it has lead him towards intense jealousy, spite and genuine malicious intent for anyone that stands in his way. He's stubborn, he's demented, he's corrupted, he's deceitful and he's disturbed - there is nothing he won't do to get what he wants, even if it means getting people killed, ruining a nine year olds life or forcing his code into a game that simply can't handle it. Since getting all of the attention in the arcade, he just can't abide by the fact that he might end up losing it - which is why he doesn't stop until he gets what he wants (in this case, to become the king of Sugar Rush, and to be the best racer in the game). Being an intelligent yet evil mastermind with incredibly ambitious intentions has essentially made him insane, as the second he turns into a cybug, he's determined to take over every single game connected to Game Central Station.

After all this time, Turbo finds it very easy to slip this persona on - almost like a favourite dressing gown or a well worn pair of slippers. He's able to pick up and drop the act as much as he pleases, though for self preservation's sake, he tends to act and talk as King Candy without letting his personality show through at all. Either way, his constant need to be the centre of attention drives him forward, and his frankly distressing obsession with winning has gotten them this far, and he's not about to go back to being homeless if he can help it. Jealousy has always been a big motivator - he was programmed to win, and even if it meant taking down three games in the process, he was going to win. Should anyone try to take his spotlight, then they'll do everything within his power to eliminate that threat (preferably silently, too, so as to not cause a fuss).

Have you read up on how the game works?:

1st person sample:
Ehehha, this is a strange string of events. I've been filling in forms for hours! You'd think they'd recognise when they're in the presence of royalty.

_{[ he giggles and leans forward, his finger tapping against the screen of the guide. ]}

And this is very snazzy too, by the way. I've seen these things around, but I've never been in one before. Or is it on one? Well, I don't know how you might say it, but I've never been on this side of the glass before! You can do anything here! Pause, rewind, play. It's- it's fun.

_{[ hey, he can't help that he's a game character that realises he's a game character inside a ship inside a game. ]}

Oh, now, where are my manners? I'm King Candy, the royal ruler of Sugar Rush! It's- we like to race there, eheh. We don't do much else; there's racing, then there's the roster racing, then there's the practise racing. There's a lot of racing is what, I'm saying!

3rd person sample:
When he rematerialised, the first thing Turbo did was to look down at himself. He was human again - or at least, he wasn't a cybug, which is... probably an improvement. It'd be difficult to disguise oneself as a king with the body of a virus. And what good would being a virus do him out here, anyway? There aren't any cheat codes to get him through this world - he'd have to work at it. Actually work at it, with his arms and his legs and... it's not ideal, but he'll get used to it.

Questions?:
CAN HE HACK EVERYTHING PLS? Also can i use that zalgo text thing? Also also can he have his pet unicorn Skittles?
