name: turbo

gender: male, he/it

orientation: unsure, possibly none

canon: essentially the first movie’s canon, but i reset at the end instead of dying for good

memories:

• turbotime was one of the first games the arcade installed, and we were one of the most popular for a long time
• i don't know why i got so jealous of roadblasters, but i remember being furious when it started getting more popular than us
  • i think a lot of it was a deep underlying fear of getting unplugged (but look what happened)
• the reason i crashed roadblasters was since i was foreign code, not properly linking myself into the game caused it to malfunction
• when i heard both games were being unplugged, i panicked, and tried my best to lay low. i don't know what happened to the twins, everything went by very fast
• i think there was a period of hiding where i jumped around from game to game in order not to get caught until sugar rush showed up
• i sneaked my way in and hid in there for a while, kinda just to get a feel for the game before making any move
• i sneaked into the code room one day and did my thing, i think the game went through a very tiny reboot when i inputted my code
• everything went great for a while, but you know what happened
• i didn't actually die, since i had previously linked my code to the game and it hadn't been reset yet. i remember re-spawning a distance away as king candy, and when the actual game reset happened it stripped my coding and i was myself again
• there was a long period of hiding again, and eventually i was found by the surge protector
• i don't know why, it was probably pity, but he actually let me stay with him after he found me instead of revealing that i was still alive

looking for: anyone who remembers me

found: none

additional notes:

• god i loved racing
  • it was such a satisfying and fulfilling experience, its all i wanted to be doing. whenever i wasn't racing, i always had this itch in the back of my mind to go and race
  • in both turbotime and sugar rush, there were times where i'd just drive around the track by myself as fast as i could just for the adrenaline rush
• i didn't enjoy sugar rush
  • i was thankful to race again, and that my plan worked at least for a while, but god i hated sugar rush
  • the general sweetness of it was not my style. i needed real roads and cars
• king candy's voice is what i actually sounded like, if not a little exaggerated. i always had my lisp
• as king candy, i tended to nervous laugh when my facade was cracking. you have to admit, i was a pretty decent actor for what it's worth
  • there were times it slipped more than i would have liked it to, though. i remember occasionally shouting at sour bill or the guards
• my very first "turbotastic" after years of not saying it felt ridiculously great. i'm sure it almost slipped out a few times
