Paul

*“Good luck lol.”*

Paul is a recurring side character within the Redditor series, making appearances in numerous installments. He holds the distinction of being a ghost, having met his demise while working at a Waffle House. Despite his spectral nature, Paul has found a residence in the form of a grand mansion situated on a secluded island. Paul's initial introduction takes place in Chapter 7 of Redditor in 2030, specifically in the vibrant locale of Big Bay Beach. It is here that he tests Team Redditor in a game of Dance Dance Revolution (DDR).

**PERSONALITY**

Paul is a multi-faceted character known for his amiable nature and eagerness to take on challenges. While generally kind-hearted, he occasionally experiences bouts of extreme outrage. These outbursts become evident in key moments throughout the Redditor in 2030 storyline.

In Interlude 10, titled "A New Foe," Paul confronts Darrien, expressing his anger towards him for causing his demise years ago. Similarly, in Chapter 18, aptly named "Time to Rest," Paul directs a barrage of profanity towards Darrien, reacting strongly to the actions taken against him. These instances highlight Paul's occasional explosive temperament when faced with unresolved issues.

It's important to note, however, that these instances of anger do not overshadow Paul's inherent kindness and genuine care for his friends. Outside of these confrontations, Paul consistently demonstrates a warm and supportive demeanor towards those around him. His genuine concern for his friends shines through, adding depth to his character and emphasizing his role as one of the series' most benevolent personalities.

**ABILITIES**

Paul doesn't have any known abilities before he died, but since he is a ghost, he can phase through walls and can teleport himself and other people to various locations.

**APPEARANCES**

Redditor in 2030: Paul makes his debut in this story, and he first appears testing Team Redditor in a DDR test. He appears later in the story along, with a few others, kidnapped by Darrien Brown.

Redditor in 2031: Paul also appears in Redditor in 2031 and tags along with the others to stop the government from catching them.

Redditor in the Hunger Games: Paul appears as a contestant in the Xeno World Tournament. He is one of the first causalities in the story and doesn't really see that much time.

**TRIVIA**

* Paul, along with Jonathan, are the only 2 original main characters in Redditor in 2030. The others are based off of real people. The reason as to why Paul is named as such is because the author didn't have a friend named Paul, and he thought a lonely ghost on an island named Paul would be funny.
* Paul is a pro at DDR, a rhythm game that requires the player to step on different pads in a certain sequence to match the beat of the song.
* Paul's last name is Blart, but he never mentions it because he hates his last name.
* He was going to change his last name, but the day he decided to, he died. If he were able to change his last name now, it would be Anderson.
* His current last name is a reference to the 2009 comedy film "Paul Blart: Mall Cop", in which the main character is named the same.
* Paul's main in Super Smash Bros Ultimate would be Jigglypuff. We can't be too sure though, because he can't physically touch the controller.
