TDS Headcanons - Italais

🎨 Paintballer 🖌️

Probably one of the most heartless characters in the Italais Cinematic Universe. He's lost so much of his humanity from his horrible experiences.

"Expose someone to anger long enough and they will learn to hate."
- Monsoon, the Winds of Destruction

This chapter is more philosophy & sociology than normal but whatever 🤷 maybe you can take something from this

>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<

- [ ] One of the major villains in the TDS universe. Although he may seem 'weak' to you, don't let that fool you. He's not to be underestimated.

- [ ] He is an evil fucking individual.

- [ ] He composes himself like a cold, calculative mobster.

- [ ] Wears a blue suit with splashes of different colored fabric. Red, green, yellow spots cover his bright blue suit.

- [ ] Has a small, but deadly group of soldiers made up of a mix & match of different 'things'. Zombies, humans, etc.

- [ ] Has done horrific atrocities, which even makes the cold and collective Commander sick to his core.

- [ ] Even though he's really terrible person, his past shows that evil isn't born, it's taught.

- [ ] Both Paintballer's parents didn't attend his birth. They didn't feel like it so they just didn't show up. I know. Heartbreaking.

"Wait how did his mom not attend his birth?????"
She just didn't. 🤷

- [ ] He lost his toy choo choo train.

- [ ] He was forced to wear girl dresses to school.

- [ ] Disowned by his parents at the age of 8 for just not living up to their expectations.

- [ ] Raised by a family of Bears.

- [ ] He really wanted to be an artist who did abstract art, but his human family thought it was stupid, and his bear family didn't understand what art was.

- [ ] Since both his families were broke, he had to join the military. No matter how well he did in school, he wouldn't be able to go to college because of his financial situation.

- [ ] The only thing that kept him alive was his love of paintball. He was so close to offing himself, but he would snap out of it by painting or playing paintball.

- [ ] Joined Commander's Army at the Siege of Robloxia against Governor Talus. One of his first soldiers, and most loyal soldiers. Unfortunately, he was never recognized for this.

- [ ] Treated terribly by everyone for being 'weak'. He was never allowed on missions. He tried his best to be strong, but it was never enough for them. He worked nonstop to improve himself, but nobody cared.

- [ ] But then, there was a wonderful girl! A really pretty girl with pink hair and cat ears. Neko DJ!!!!! She changed his life forever!

- [ ] She was so nice to him. She was his only friend. And eventually, a little crush developed. Which later turned into a fiery, passionate love.

- [ ] One day, he worked up the courage to do something big. He got her a pair of new cat headphones with all that he had. He spent every single last penny from working cafeteria shifts to get it for her!

- [ ] He dressed his best, practiced the conversation and fought off the anxiety. As he turned the corner, the last strands of humanity that held him together snapped.

"In your passion,
I was lost..."

- [ ] Scout stole his girl!!!!!

- [ ] His humanity & kindness disappeared.

- [ ] He left the Towers, although no one noticed, nor cared. Just one less burden.

- [ ] He beefed up during his time in hiding. He grew taller, muscular and elegant. His confidence went through the roof. He no longer looks like a stick figure with a bowling ball head. He was now an imposing man with a new mindset.

- [ ] He even recruited some zombies to his cause!

- [ ] He began developing this nihilist & misanthropist mindset about how life and nature works. He believed that life was meaningless, ideas are pointless, human society was corrupt & disgusting, and there was no greater purpose.

- [ ] His humanity was gone. He lost so many of his former aspects that made him human. His personality, flair, empathy, kindness. All disappeared from his psyche. He was just a husk of a man.

- [ ] Believes that naturally, the strong will kill the weak and that's life. It's just how nature works.

"Kill or be killed, Scout.
Wind blows,
Rain falls,
and the Strong prey on the Weak."

- [ ] If you're strong enough to do something, you should have the freedom to do so.

- [ ] If you didn't like your manager and you wanted to kill him, if you are strong enough, then you should be able to butcher that fucker.

- [ ] The only thing that Paintballer devotedly believes in is survival if the fittest. Where the strongest will live and the weakest will die.

- [ ] 4chan levels of Incel 🥴

- [ ] He isn't afraid of dying anymore. He doesn't give a shit.

"If you kill me,
then the number of killers in the world stay the same."

- [ ] He used to hate the towers, but then he realized that it was all pointless to hate. Since life was all but meaningless, it didn't matter.

- [ ] Hate and anger will be washed away under the warm and soothing rain. No matter how dry he feels inside, the sun will always rise.

- [ ] He decided to follow the rules of nature. He was strong, so he was allowed to kill those who were weaker than him. Aka, the towers.

- [ ] He has, and he will continue making Neko & Scouts life miserable.

"Free will is a myth, Neko.
Religion is a joke.
We're all pawns controlled by something greater.
Conflict."

- [ ] Conflict is one of the strongest ways to express one's emotions. It controls us. Molds us. Dictates us.

- [ ] How we respond to conflict will ultimately determine how we think. It will control how we reply. Everything centers around conflict.

^^^ at least in Paintballers' eyes

- [ ] He's planning something big. Very big. It will rival the Robloxia HQ Bombings of 2001 in scale & impact. I wonder what he'll do...

- [ ] Paintballer will strike once the time is right..."
