A note for CR AU applications
Ruby City does allow previous game history/CR to be brought over on a case by case basis. If you want to include this in your application please add additional sections for PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT and PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY beneath the Personality and Background/History sections.
In these additional sections we would like to see a brief outline of your character's previous game history and how it potentially impacted on and altered their canon personality.

Personality:
Note: There are SPOILERS ahead!
“It’s my job to fix what Ralph has wrecked.”
Felix is the epitome of what gamers would call Lawful Good. He believes in the idea that most people are inherently good, though he’s borne witness to the fact that there are some who are easily driven mad with anger, hate, or jealousy. He’s known for being patient and kind to everyone he meets, and he’s always been willing to lend a helping hand, or, as it stands, golden hammer. To the tenants of the Niceland Apartment building, within the arcade game that bears his name, he’s their hero, and yet, ever humble. No matter how many pies or medals he receives, he has never once let it get to his head.
This simple reputation might lead one to believe that Felix is simple, just these things: wholesome, honest, law-abiding, and everything that his in-game opposition, Wreck It Ralph, is presumably not. But it goes far beyond that. Outside of the general wholesome goodness that Felix represents, he is also brave, heroic, and principled. He can be comical and free in his affections, but ever innocent. The very concept of doing something unkind of deceitful to anyone, even someone who might have wronged him, would not even occur to him.
“You…uh, wouldn’t happen to want to come in and have a slice, would you?”
While the Nicelanders shun Ralph and treat him like the garbage and mud he’s forced to live in, Felix, even if awkwardly, makes an attempt to treat him kindly. He bears no prejudice or ill will towards anyone, and sees it as his duty to correct any messes that Ralph makes.
He willingly leaves his own game and ventures first into the dangerous game world of Hero’s Duty, and then into the sugary sweet world of Sugar Rush to find Ralph, and proves himself to be a capable hero, and quite resourceful when thrust into situations he’s wholly unfamiliar with. Of course, he panicked before getting a hold of himself, so even a hero has his moments of weakness. He’s willing to risk injury to save himself and Sergeant Calhoun when mired in quicksand, and doesn’t even think twice in doing what must be done.
“Jiminy jaminity, look at that high definition! Your face….it’s amazing….”
He’s also a man who wears his heart on his sleeve, as he makes no attempt to hide his growing affection for Sergeant Calhoun, and even compliments her after a rather harrowing escape from quicksand. This does not end well, though, as Calhoun herself has her own tragic backstory to contend with first.
“Then, I met the most dynamite gal – she gives me the honeyglows something awful! But! She rebuffed my affections!”
He doesn’t have to suffer such heartache long – as it stands, he ends up happily married to Calhoun by the close of the film – it’s true that he really can fix anything, and in this case, a broken heart.
“No, I will not, Ralph! You don’t know what it’s like to be rejected and treated like a criminal!”
He has to suffer first heartache and then the frustration and anger of being wrongly imprisoned, and when he is finally reunited with Ralph, we get to see that anger and frustration manifest. He actually refuses to help Ralph at first, purely out of anger. He vents his anger freely after what he’s had to go through, and comes to realize that how he feels, rejected, treated like a criminal, is just how Ralph feels all the time. And he realizes that he and his old foe are not so dissimilar.
“No, I don’t have to do boo – excuse my potty mouth.”
He’s wholesome and a bit quirky in his use of colloquial language – his idea of swearing badly is the word “boo”, for which he apologizes. He’s old-fashioned in a charming way, and a gentleman who always removes his hat in polite company. He’s got a strong sense of responsibility and courage, and a desire to do good anywhere he goes.
Re: [Fandom | Fix-It Felix, Jr. | Wreck-It Ralph] Part 2
[It’s dark outside as he steps out of the train car, bewildered. He looks distinctly out of place, and not just because of the simple work clothes and the gold hammer at his hip. Looking over his shoulder at the train he’d just left, he realizes distinctly that it was a foolhardy thing to do, leaving the train…but for some reason, he couldn’t help himself.
Turning back to the darkened train station, it’s immediately evident that this is certainly not Game Central Station, or any other game he’d heard of. And nothing new had come in either…]
Ah, hello? [His voice echoes off the walls and into the night as he steps forward.] I beg your pardon for intruding…is anyone there? Y’see, I think the train-
[There’s a rush of air as the train suddenly departs, back the way it came. He breathes in sharply, but is surprisingly too late to react before the train has long vanished into the mist. Turning back to the empty, and not terribly welcoming train station, he peers out of the front door and into the vast city outside.]
…Oh my lands…
Third Person:
“…Oh my lands…”
To say that this was not Game Central Station was putting it mildly. It wasn’t even the train he’d caught from Niceland that dropped him off in this place – wherever this place was. But as Felix stepped off the train, he took a few seconds to look around in bewildered wonderment. It wasn’t any game he’d ever heard of, and besides that, no train he knew could take anyone from one game to the next – you always had to stop at Game Central Station first.
Straightening his hat, he turned and looked over at the strange train, more of a full steam engine closer to what he saw in Hero’s Duty…if far less advanced. As he looked at it for a few moments longer, he moved a bit further away, as if being ushered by some unseen hand.
“Something squirrelly’s going on around here…and I don’t like it.”
A part of him wanted to be irritated; he didn’t make it a habit of being late, and Tamora, well, she didn’t tolerate tardiness either. It was possible that there was a glitch in the surge protector, but surely they would have all known about it. He would have felt something, and likely, he’d not have arrived here all in one piece.
As he checked his pockets, just to make sure, he felt something heavy in his breast pocket. Frowning just a bit, he reached inside and pulled out what appeared to be…a medal? It unfurled from its red ribbon and dangled effortlessly by his gloved hand, but made no further explanation as to how it had come to be there. He certainly hadn’t brought one with him-
“What’s this…?”
It was about then that Felix noticed faintly along the edge of the medal, a seam, and underneath, a few simple buttons. Bringing it quickly into his palm, he touched it lightly and with a click, it opened, revealing a smooth watch face on one side and a simple screen on the others. It reminded him a bit of how the screens looked at the arcade, only without a view of the outside world.
“Jiminy, isn’t this a piece of work! I’ll bet some of the answers are right in here.” He turned it over a few more times, unaware that the tiny screen had flicked on in his perusal. “I can’t just sit around here waiting for answers…I’ll bet if I get high enough I can get a good view of the inside of the cabinet and maybe find out when the next train comes along!”
