Bugsy

**Bugsy** is a male bunnial (partial rabbit) Inkling, and the Inksona of the Splanimator BugsyRabbit2004.

## In-universe information

### Weapon(s)

Splat Roller, Inkbrush Nouveau, Annaki Splattershot Nova, Kensa Octobrush, Rapid Blaster

## Appearance

Bugsy is a grey Inkling boy with silver/grey eyes, grey hair, and very pale skin. He wears a Classic Straw Boater with a bright white band, a Negative Longcuff Sweater (without the Kensa pin), and a pair of Annaki Arachno Boots adorned with silver/grey shoelaces. He can sometimes be seen with his Splat Roller, or occasionally other weaponry. Without his hat on he has the slick hairstyle. He can only use achromatic (greyscale) ink colours due to his bunnialism.

As of September 2021, his roller has been modified in appearance, being predominantly grey metal plated, with white highlights. His inktank also features a similar design.

In addition to this, all other Splatoon weaponry used by Bugsy is similarly designed, being grey metal plated with the same white highlights.

## Other Appearances

In warmer weather, Bugsy has appeared in the past with the default Inkling Boy underwear, and no shoes, as seen in *Squid-Kid Goes Swimming* and it's sequel. More recently, he instead appears either shirtless and barefoot, or with a grey Aloha Shirt, grey Kensa Flip-Flops, and grey Tinted Shades.

During Halloween, he wears a modified Squinja Suit, with grey chrome metal and black fabric. He also wears a dark grey face-mask with this.

## Personality

Bugsy is by default, a cheerful, friendly, and somewhat eccentric Inkling.

He is highly intelligent, being the creator of his cybernetic recreation. Despite this, he appears to lack common sense, as he will throw himself out of windows without reason, freeze on the spot in reaction to good news, and even consume inedible substances.

Bugsy appears to be aware of the fourth wall, and sometimes breaks it. He outright asks "How stupid do *they* think I am?" in response to the Grimace Shake trend, only to consume laundry detergent not even five seconds later.

## Backstory (Inksona)

It's unknown where he came from or why he appeared, but Bugsy one day showed up in Inkopolis ready to battle. The fun-loving Inkling carries a bunnialistic gene, which is the cause of his pale skin and grey ink colour. He is extremely skilled in Roller combat and can easily demolish most opponents with his Splat Roller. However, he is completely useless with Charger weapons.

## Backstory (IRL)

Bugsy started playing Splatoon in February 2019, after picking up major interest in the game upon seeing it. He quickly fell in love with the game, and became dedicated to the franchise. He started uploading in late 2020, and animating in early 2021. Although originally very shy, Bugsy has since slowly grown much closer to the Splatoon and Splanimation communities.

Bugsy is substantially more confident than he used to be, but he still gets demotivated *very* easily.

## Abilities

Although no explicit abilities have been seen from Bugsy as of yet, it is highly likely that his agility is exceptional due to him being a bunnial (a common trait of those with the condition is agility). On top of this, he is very skilled with rollers and brushes in combat, and he seems to have a lot of technical knowhow, considering he is the creator of his cyber-form.

Bugsy appears to have some traits that can only be described as absurd. Such capabilities include phasing through walls, launching himself into the air, and... T-posing? These abilities are likely caused by GMod physics, rather than Bugsy actually being able to perform such strange acts himself.

His IQ is apparently 110, although this is highly debatable based on his overall behaviour.

## Trivia

* Bugsy only wears achromatic (greyscale) clothing unless forced to wear something else, such as in a Salmon Run shift.
	+ In addition to this, he can only use achromatic ink colors, due to his bunnialism causing a lack of pigmentation.
		- Because of this, he appears with a different ink color to the rest of his team in battle, although he is still treated as part of the team.
		- Despite this, he is still capable of changing his shade of grey, in addition to using black or white ink colors. He prefers to remain his classic grey however.
* He is capable of crossing his eyes, as seen in *No Ideas*.
	+ He can also derp his eyes, which can be seen in *Splatoon Servers be like:*.
* He has the slick hairstyle under his hat.
	+ It can be seen in *Sleepy Squid* and *Bugsy Reacts to the Splatoon 3 Trailer*, although it isn't seen again until *Bugsy's One Year of YouTube!*.
* Bugsy screams a lot, probably because he gets injured and annoyed quite frequently.
* Interestingly, Bugsy never spoke nor used subtitles until *Bugsy's 200 Subscriber Surprise*, where he used subtitles for the first time.
	+ His subtitles have been used several times since then, in *Bugsy's Halloween Horrors* (Cyber and Baneful Bugsy use subtitles for the first time here as well), and *Bugsy's One Year of YouTube!*.
	+ Bugsy's subtitle text uses the Splatoon 2 font, with black letters and a glowing white outline.
* He was first voiced by his creator in *Bugsy tries the Grimace Shake...?*.
	+ His voice and VA both have a British accent.
	+ BugsyRabbit2004 also speaks in falsetto when voicing him.
* He doesn't like heat, just like his IRL creator, as shown in *Me when it's over 20°C*, where he literally appears on fire.
	+ Despite this, he seems fine in *Summer Sunset* and *Summer Squid-Kid*, although this could be due to the clothes he is wearing.
		- The subtitles in *Summer Squid-Kid* poke fun at the fact he can't take heat, by outright questioning if the temperature is somehow below 20°C.
* His Splat Roller does **not** have the Splashdown as a special weapon. The special Bugsy uses has yet to be revealed.
* Bugsy seems to be capable of using non-Splatoon weapons, as he is shown using a Rainbow Rod from Terraria in *Bugsy's Rainbow Rod*.
	+ He also uses a non-ink pistol in *G U N*.
* His shoelaces were originally the default brown (as seen on this page), but as of June 2021, his shoelaces are now grey (fender chrome to be exact).
* According to his creator, his tentacles apparently taste like styrofoam. Why though, we're still not sure.
* He appears to like the flavour of laundry detergent, despite it messing up his insides to the point of him self-destructing… somehow.
* How bunnialism and rabbits exist in the timeline of *Splatoon* can be explained by an immensely complicated universe constructed over time by BugsyRabbit2004 himself. In said world, a separate Rabbit Dimension exists where the rabbits thrive, thus preventing them from being wiped out by the floods on Earth before the events of the Mollusc Era. (Don't question it, just believe it.)
	+ Many of his potential Bunnialistic traits have yet to be revealed, as not much more than his lack of coloration has been explicitly seen.
		- He could even be hiding these traits, though why he would do so is unknown.

## Guide

*If you want to make him accurately in GMod/SFM or anything else without a dupe, here's how!* -BugsyRabbit2004

* Start off with a default male Inkling Boy, skin 0 (default), with grey eyes. Remove the topknot hair (bodygroups can normally do this) and colour the Inkling grey (his HSV value is approx. 0, 0, 40)
* Bugsy's hat is a Classic Straw Boater, with a white (HSV 0, 0, 100) band, set to the male gender.
* He wears a Negative Longcuff Sweater, without the Kensa pin. The pin can be removed with bodygroups.
* His Annaki Arachno Boots have silver laces. In GMod, this can be done by changing the laces' material to "Fender Chrome" with the submaterial tool. In SFM, changing the sliders and skins of the shoes can do this.
