CHARACTER Name: Enzo Matrix Canon: Reboot. Age: He's the loose equivalent of an 11-12 year old, although the series is odd and vague about ages bcause everyone's computer sprites and time is weird. Timeline: From the episode "Game Over", in the instant before Zaytan strikes him in the eye. If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality: We are expecting at least THREE well-written paragraphs minimum, with references to canon examples of your character’s personality where available. Please provide us with insight to your character and their behaviour, their likes, dislikes and fears, as well as your understanding of them. We would also like to see details of your character's strengths and weaknesses, which may include physical, psychological and emotional.
Enzo Matrix is a precocious young sprite hailing from the computer system known as Mainframe. In many ways, he's your typical kid sidekick. He's optimistic, fun-loving and full of energy. He shamelessly spouts odd catchphrases like "alphanumeric" and will sometimes exclaim a trio of synonymous words to express how he feels about a particular manner. Enzo is almost always accompanied by his pet dog, Frisket, whom he often plays wit. He also has a strong need to prove himself to the people whom he idolizes and is always eager to spend time with them, even if it means putting himself into harm's way. The two people whom he initially idolizes are Dot and Bob. Dot is Enzo's older sister, and even though she embarrasses him sometimes, Enzo primarily shows an admiration for her and her business savvy. In fact, he once tried opening his own delivery service to try to emulate her. As for the other person, Bob, as Mainframe's Guardian, he has been like a superhero to Enzo, as well as being like a big brother to him. Enzo is always excited enough to see Bob that he'll end up tackling him over. He was also very excited to both join Bob on his adventures, no matter how dangerous, and to become a Guardian like him. He's also a character who is prone to making mistakes and wrong choices from time to time, such as when he slowed down the clock speed of everyone else in Mainframe. However, he'll also work to try to make up for his mistakes, and on several occasions he's stood up against enemies like Megabyte with little to no fear, even going as far as to call him childish names.
Despite how cheery he usually is, Enzo is not without his share of sadness. He's felt the loss of his father, who seemingly perished with Mainframe's sister city and with a majority of Mainframe's other sprites. Because of this, Enzo hasn't had people his age to play with. This explains why he ended up being so fixated on Bob and Dot, but it still left an aching in him that not even their friendship could fully cure. However, that started to change when he met AndrAIa in a game. She was orginally a game sprite, bound to the game that she was programmed into, but Enzo swiftly developed a strong fondness to her. They were the same age and got along very well. So he managed to help her 'escape' from the game and the two remained virtually inseperable since then. So, AndrAIa has become one more person whom Enzo likes to impress. In some cases, he's tended to tell white lies and try to cover up his insecurities in order to impress AndrAIa, many of which she quietly sees through. It's a friendship with innocent beginnings, and Enzo is often pleased to teach her lessons about life outside the games.
Life has recently undergone a number of changes which make things much harder on Enzo. For one, Bob was exiled into the Web by Megabyte. Mainframe was closed off from the Net, and Enzo was left with the Guardian code on his icon. This meant the Mainframe was alone against the danger of Megabyte, with Enzo being the closest thing to a Guardian to stand in their way. So, Enzo has been working hard to learn the ropes of handing the responsibilty that comes with being a Guardian while at the same time coping with the loss of Bob. He's had to deal with the fear of being targeted by Megabyte, the challenges of the games and the pressure put upon him by the citizens who had trouble believing in a child Guardian- many of whom were actually stirred up to their protests by Megabyte. However, Enzo has also made some leaps and strides in facing these troubles, especially with the support of people like AndrAIa and Dot. He's stood up to Megabyte, played a vital role in the plan to imprison Megabyte within a firewall, won over a number of displeased citizens (including someone whom had previously defected to Megabyte) and saved the people of Mainframe from several dangerous games. It hasn't been an easy road at all, and although Enzo is still cheery and goofy in a lot of ways, he's starting to carry a chip on his shoulder from all of the preceding troubles that he's had to endure, without the guidance of someone like Bob. His current canon point is the straw that will break his back and his greatest defeat. Essentially, it is a game that Enzo manages to lose. Enzo is taken from before the battle takes its grimmest turn, but he will arrive with a sense of how hopeless seems to be and facing the strong implication that he could lose the game.
Background:His Wiki entry. Only the portion up until near the end of the Viral Wars section is relevant to this portrayal.
Abilities: Is your character an accomplished carpenter? Can they shoot laser beams from their eyes or travel through time? If they possess any abilities, learned or otherwise, they need to go in this section.
Enzo is an ordinary sprite for the most part, which translates to being like an ordinary child. Before gaining the Guardian code, his primary accomplishments have been flying on zipboards and constructing a hover-car. Gaining the Guardian code has helped Enzo in several ways, as it protects him from most infections as well as from being corroded by the Web. Enzo is also able to 'reboot' into games by double-tapping his icon. This changes his clothing while also giving him skills, knowledge and weapons that are relevant to a particular game. This allows him to blend in with the game and have a chance of beating the User under the rules. For example, the most recent game that Enzo was in was a Mortal Kombat knock-off, and when he rebooted, he gained some keen martial arts abilities. However, these abilities seem to fade for the most part when not in a game. Additionally, Enzo can switch his icon into 'game sprite' mode. This allows him to be recognize as part of the game, and if it is active when a game ends, it means that he will leave with the game instead of being returned to Mainframe. (This is how he will ultimately survive the game he loses in Game Over, but that is not relevant to this app)
Additionally, he has a "Key Tool" named Glitch, which has a wide variety of functions, but it is broken at this canon point and can only do some basic functions like scanning systems/scanning for viruses. It will most likely have no actual use when outside of the digital world.
"Fetch, boy!" Enzo said as he threw a stick across the field. Frisket gave an affirmative bark as he lumbered away in pursuit of the branch. It was weird to be away from the home and away from the games, in this relatively peaceful place. Even though he knew that this place tended to see its fair share of troubles, it was still unlike any system he was aware of in that there was no need for a Guardian and no games to worry about. It was almost felt like he was returning to the life of just being a little sprite again. But even if that was so, it just would not be the same without Dot and Bob around. Nothing would be.
He glanced down towards his icon and let his hand hover over it as continued to wonder about his role. That icon served as his reminder and his proof that he was still a Guardian. He still had a duty and a protocol, even if no one else here knew about it. He couldn't keep sitting around. He had to find a way to help. Maybe then he would stop having nightmares about that game. All those nightmares went back to that last game he remembered playing. Enzo kept picturing that flaming sword that was coming right at him, and his right eye winced at the memory. He must have let everyone down in the end.
But his reverie was broken by a familiar bark. Frisket ran right up, tugging a whole tree branch in his mouth. Despite all of his troubles, Enzo laughed and leaned over to hug the dog.
"Good boy..."

Note: I am also hoping for him to arrive with his pet dog Frisket, if that is alright!
