personality

Fan is a talkative, awkward, and passionate contestant known for his love for Inanimate Insanity. He is primarily absorbed in his electronics and is observant of the show's structure. Despite his lack of active participation, Fan is strategic and imaginative, as demonstrated in "Tri Your Best". Fan's strongest skill is observation and speculation, focusing on the show. He can predict events and follow his own observations confidently, even if they may negatively impact others. Fan can be inconsiderate of others' feelings, such as inappropriately laughing in Paintbrush's face. He struggles with coping with change, showing negative reactions to sudden alterations in the show. Fan struggles with social interactions, finding it difficult to make friends. He is unafraid to speak his mind and expresses himself obnoxiously. However, he has fragile confidence, which makes him quick to lose composure when corrected. Fan is stubborn and struggles with self-expression, but excels over text. Fan is a walking, talking database of Inanimate Insanity’s history, A.K.A. a huge “fan” of the show. Being a contestant is truly a dream come true for him, and he is constantly nerding out over (OBSERVING) every facet of the competition. With an obsession over (WATCHFUL EYES ON) theories and patterns from the show’s past, Fan is usually (NEVER) unaware of what is happening around him and is actually the most ignorant (SELF-AWARE) competitor of all! Fan is, indeed, quite socially awkward (A STRATEGIC AND IMAGINATIVE) player that strives to win, no matter how unconventional or subversive the means!

abilities

Folding/Flight: Fan is able to glide in the air if he unfolds into a half circle shape. This is first seen in "Tri Your Best". He later uses his unfolding ability to expand his size in order to block the goal in "A Kick in the Right Direction", and inversely, he folds up completely in "Alternate Reality Show" to avoid Paintbrush's heat wave.

blogs

Fan used to post blogs every so often on the Inanimate Insanity Website. The link was shown during his leg of the triathlon in "Tri Your Best." The website's blog is now deactivated, but an archive consisting of his old blog posts can be found on a fan created Tumblr. Fan now has a Tumblr, where he posts on from time to time. However, the blog hasn't been updated since his last post on April 7th, 2021.
