T-Man

Theodore Mandalas, more commonly known by his alias T-Man, is an enigmatic character originally created by JenjenParibou. He was initially created as a joke Mega Man OC, however quickly became his own person, featuring in several medias such as the Bux series, and the Friday Night Funkin' mod Vs. T-Man.

==General Information==
===Appearance===
T-Man's body is entirely blue (#659bff) and has appendages but no limbs, similar to Rayman. His head conical with one singular eye and a mouth attached to its base. He has 5 teeth that can each split into upper and lower teeth, and his 2nd-from-the-left tooth is said to be made of pure gold.
His torso is a solid blue sphere and his hands are the same shape but about 1/3rd of the size. He has no fingers but seems to be somehow able to hold anything a finger-haver can, a similar case to Kirby's nub hands. T-Man can move his hands around freely wherever he wants, but usually keeps them close to himself. Lastly, his feet are angular and pointy with a blocky shape, and are "the only part of his body with gravity applied to them".
===Personality===
T-Man is a relatively chill guy when singing. He is calm and relaxed while composing his funky beats. However, he easily gets angered by exceptionally irritating people. He does not like his "pissening sessions" being interrupted frequently by Boyfriend, despite him breaking into Girlfriend's house on at least two separate occasions in order to perform them. He commonly shows "third song syndrome" in his FNF mod, becoming unreasonably enraged by the final song in the 2nd and 3rd weeks and showing strange, unsettling mutations during his 3-3 song, Sour T. In short, he is very awesome and cool if you don't piss him off.
He is very likely interested in the field of mathematics as he has named the majority of his songs after mathematical concepts from areas such as geometry (Sinus, Trigonemistri, Geometricol, LITERALLY A SONG CALLED GEOMETRY, etc.), logic (Tautology, Contradiction, Theorem) and many others (Chekalculus, T(m), etc.).
===Abilities===
He is a "struggling musician who has a knack for existing", a unique ability when compared amongst the rest of the Bux cast. 
During his fits of anger, T-Man seems to gains some extra abilities, like the ability to spin very fast as shown in T-Storm. He will however eventually tire out after a sufficient amount of time, making all his body parts fall flat to the ground, and rendering him only being able to move his hands.
He is shown to be able to wear cool shades during Vs. T-Man Week 2. He is also very coolswag and says coolswag at least 3 times per week.
==Background==
Theodore, after picking up his first microphone from a very young age, dreamt of making music and hitting it big with all the music industry kingpins like Eminem and Biggie Cheese. His father, Wallace Mandalas, had no interest in his son's aspirations, and could not see Theodore's vision of a music profession. This backstory was not copied from Gru from Despicable Me. Theodore was eventually kicked out of the house by his own father and continued his life living on the streets. He resorted to desperate measures to continue pissing the same way he always had been, such as stealing the Mystery Machine from the Scooby-Doo gang and renaming it the "T-Van".
==Relationships==
======W-Man ======
W-Man is T-Man's father. T-Man does not seem to resent his father for kicking him out - rather, he wants to prove himself a successful artist, despite Wallace seemingly having no interest in music. W-Man has not been heard of since and his feelings about his son are unknown.
====== Boyfriend======
Boyfriend is T-Man's worst enemy. Boyfriend is always interrupting Theodore's pissening sessions, with T-Man losing his patience faster with every week they battle. At least they seemed to be on better terms by the end of the 4th week.
====== Chekawa======
Chekawa the Jebawa and T-Man are half brothers - they share the same unknown mother. It is implied the two have never met other, as they act as though they have never met during the dialogue for Chekalculus. Interestingly, despite this, Kechawa (an embodiment of T-Man's pysche from the Golden T-Man Week that resembles Chekawa) represents T-Man's memories.
======Dr. Eggman ======
Eggman is the father of Chekawa. T-Man is not biologically related to Eggman by any means, but they are technically still part of the same family. T-Man potentially doesn't even know who Eggman is.
======Dr. Wily & Tall Man======
Dr. Wily is a clone of Dr. Eggman in the Bux canon, extending the family even further. Additionally, this would make Tall Man a sort of distant cousin to Theodore, as well as all robot masters in the DWN (Doctor Wily Number) series.
======Yan & Recol======
T-Man rap battled Yan and Recol in FNF: The Bux Mod using his songs Trigonemistri and Geometricol, respectively.
==Notable Appearances==
===Vs. T-Man (FNF) ===
T-Man's first appearance was the original version of the Vs. T-Man mod for Friday Night Funkin'. This version of the mod featured only the first week of songs, pixel art sprites for T-Man and shift-click charting on Cosinus rather than proper triplets. Now, the mod has more than 16 playable songs, where T-Man appears in and is the opponent for 15 of them, with a special form of him being playable on the 16th song.
===The Bux Mod (FNF)===
T-Man appears in the Friday Night Funkin' Bux mod as a recurring character. He battles Yan, Chekawa and Recol in their respective weeks with songs composed by Point36 (but T-Man in canon, as usual). The Bux Mod includes a bonus week for "Golden T-Man Remixes" with more difficult, pumped up versions of T-Man's previous songs rearranged by JenjenParibou.
=== Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers ===
There is a non-JenjenParibou-made, but officially-endorsed mod for Kart Krew's follow-up game to SRB2Kart, Dr. Robotnik's Ring Racers. It's a great game, I highly recommend it! Download it here >> https://www.srb2.org/download/ T-Man is a character in Engine Class H, meaning he has an average acceleration/speed balance, and trades some turning capability for more weight.

== Trivia ==
*T-Man's voice in the Friday Night Funkin' mods is a clavinet with a wah-wah effect.
*T-Man appears to have switched domiciles from his T-Van to a trash can behind a restaurant called "Bob's Burger". It is implied he lost it to the green guy he pays his rent to. It is unknown whether he managed to retrieve his van after the events of Week 3.
*T-Man's favourite food is the green moss that builds up in his van. He also seems to enjoy pizza, as he frequently repeats that word during the "Golden T-Man Remixes".
*There is an unused graphic of a missing poster featuring W-Man. His disappearance could explain T-Man's fragile mental state and his implied self loathing in Geometriplets.
*T-Man is unable to swear, all his swear words are replaced with "Friday Night Funking".
*Despite W-Man's clear disapproval of T-Man's interest in music, the credit art of the T-Man Mod implies that he was the one who gifted him his original microphone.
*Along with his microphone, T-Man also carries a flash light with him, which seems to have been gifted by Wallace as well. It has so far only appeared during Vs. T-Man Week 2 and the end credit art.
*T-Man has 6 shapes and 7 bitches.
*T-Man has 6 bacon and 7 games.
*T-Man's real name is Fuckhead.
