Deputy Squeak (Colonel Bleep and the Interstellar Squadron)

Deputy Squeak is a fictional character and a tritagonist in Colonel Bleep and the Interstellar Squadron. He is based on the original character of the same name.
== Description ==
=== Appearance ===
Squeak is depicted as a childlike marionette made of wood. His head is built from a block of delicate white pine, while the rest of his body is made from a board of sturdy oak. The puppet is also built with screws and strong, bendable wires to help him move. For the rest of his body, Squeak is depicted to have red hair, rosy cheeks, black dotted eyes, and a button nose. He lacks a mouth, although Squeak can speak with a voice device attached to his hollow body. While Squeak is chronologically twelve years old, he resembles a four-year-old boy standing at only three feet tall. Squeak is almost always dressed in a western attire: a brown western hat, a red bandanna, a blue button-shirt, a brown vest, a golden pin, a brown belt with a golden buckle and two brown holsters, blue jeans, and brown boots. 
=== Personality ===
Out of all the members of the Interstellar Squadron, Squeak is practically the most childish of the three. As for most little boys, Squeak is filled with curiosity, overconfidence, mischief, and immaturity. Despite those flaws however, Squeak is quick to learn from his mistakes and is willing to use room to grow up and make up for his actions. He is also shows to have positive traits: clever, optimistic, charming, brave, and unselfish.
=== Powers and Abilities ===
As a living puppet, Squeak is given the ability to move and think independently after being affected by radioactive energy. The puppet is primarily armed with two western-futuristic styled weapons: a lasso that can catch the fastest targets and a futomic raygun that can blast out quick bursts of futomic energy. Of course, Squeak must learn how to use these weapons safely and responsibly. Once, Squeak wielded a slingshot and rocks. Though he abandoned them for the raygun and lasso.
== History and Overview ==
=== Early Years ===
Not much is known to Squeak's life as an inanimate object, not even Squeak remembers anything before he was brought to life. However, he remembers living in an abandoned toy factory, which power was malfunctioning during the day of the first atomic explosion(July 16, 1945). The power malfunction brought Squeak along with other left out toys to life. During his first four years, Squeak grew curious about the outside world, unlike the rest of the toys, who found his interests to be ridiculous. One stormy day, a fire destroyed the factory. Squeak escaped as soon as possible. All that he had taken from the factory were his books, crayons, drawings, tools, and his small non-living doll that he loved deeply. That was when he discovered real living humans. Then he went far away to Hollywood, Los Angles, California where he got his first job as an actor. There, he was once a star for a television show called the Puppet Players. Though, due to having none to little experience in acting, Squeak was always chosen to play the minor rather than the lead roles. Out of jealousy, Squeak pulled a prank on one of the live performances to hopefully get the desired attention. With the lead filmmakers being very displeased with the Squeak's misbehavior, he was fired out of the show and the studio. Squeak tried to apply to other studios but was rejected repeatedly due to the fact that everyone knew about the living puppet who pulled a humiliating prank on live television. Squeak was heartbroken about the end of his stage career that he decided to never commit to acting again. So he decided to move on to become a full-time adventurer, although he was lacking a shelter for himself. That is, until Squeak finds an abandoned boxcar in the woods during a rainy summer morning. Since then, Squeak spent three years living in the forest and often going to a nearby town to steal or to the junkyard to restore and repair useless items to anew. One day while watching TV, he witnessed the launch of Sputnik 1, which brought Squeak's into his ambition in traveling to space. 
=== Colonel Bleep and the Uncharted Earth ===
After becoming fascinated about space, Squeak attempted to build a small rocket called the Wondership X-57, to hopefully leave Earth and explore the universe. While tidying up his rocket, he notices a flying saucer and takes a first glance on Colonel Bleep. The puppet attempts to capture this strange visitor thinking he might be a threat to Earth. By the next morning Squeak builds a leg snare as a way to trap Bleep. An hour later, he notices that Bleep has not come around Squeak's site, so Squeak goes out to the woods to find him. He does not spot the colonel, but his prehistoric friend, Scratch, who was hunting for some fish in a brook. Squeak interrupts Scratch's moment and runs away, but gets caught by his own leg snare. Scratch follows the young puppet and rescues him from his trap. The caveman comforts Squeak out of his fear. Seeing that Scratch is a gentle giant, Squeak attempts to get to know Scratch a little more such as sharing his possessions to the caveman. While Squeak finds out that Scratch knows about Colonel Bleep, the puppet attempts to find the futurian once again. He successfully spots Bleep in a junkyard and steals a bag with radioactive jewelry. An angered Bleep chases the mischievous puppet, as Squeak flees to the woods. Bleep successfully gets the bag back, but Squeak nearly falls to his doom from the tall trees to the ground. Luckily, Colonel Bleep rescues the puppet on time. The colonel is concerned about why Squeak is alive, though the former notices that the latter is connected to radiation when Squeak touches one of the radioactive jewelry, which allows him to glow in the dark. Bleep plans to study the puppet more, though he is unaware that Squeak had already met with Scratch.
