**Calculator** is the host of *Every Other Competition*. He first debuted in the video *EOC Animators For Hire*, back when the EOC crew was searching for animators, along with Gapple. His first appearance in the series is at the very beginning of *AAH! What Are You Doing in My House?!*.

## Appearance

Calculator is a black rectangular calculator with six pinkish-white buttons and a greenish screen on the front, where his face is. He can display numbers on his screen by pressing his buttons, and when he does, his face (and sometimes only his eyes) disappear. On the back, Calculator has a gray battery compartment lid.

## Personality

Calculator is mostly painted in a negative light: he is shown to be controlling, short-tempered and outright disrespectful to his contestants, for example Berry and Blobby, whom he makes fun of because of their inability to speak; he seems to like "watching people lose their marbles over minor things", according to his presentation on the official EOC Twitter. He shows no remorse in kidnapping contestants and forcing them to compete in a show against their will (like in the case of Wisp). Moreover, Calculator is sometimes shown to be distracted and unprepared, as seen in the scene in which Tanooki asks him what the prize of the competition is and he does not know how to answer at first. Calculator is also incredibly ignorant, shown by him disabling Wisp's ability to fly, and ignoring her for the remainder of the challenge.

## Powers and abilities

* **Flying**: Calculator is able to float, as seen in the first episode of the series
* **Terraforming**: Calculator can manipulate and modify nature to his liking. He is able to create trees, hills, mountains and water courses.
* **Teleporting**: Calculator is able to teleport himself and other people to different locations.
* **Body Manipulation**: Calculator is able to control the size of his body parts, as seen in the scene in which his hand grows in size to pick up Berry and Blobby. He is also able to keep contestants in his own mouth, as seen with Lava Lamp and Dot.
* **Mutilation**: Calculator, just like Four from Battle for BFDI, is able to turn objects into "scribbles" and vice versa, as seen with Gem.
* **Possession**: Calculator is able to possess other people's bodies in order to control them, as seen with Torch.
* **Reality-warping**: Calculator can create inanimate objects, such as projector screens or pillars, out of nowhere.
* **Incapacitation of other people's abilities**: Calculator can control and cancel particular abilities of other people, such as Wisp's ability to float.
* **Materialization through Evocation**: Just like a spirit, Calculator can be summoned in places by saying his name thrice.

### *Every Other Competition*

In *AAH! What Are You Doing in My House?!*, Calculator is first seen floating in a patch of land, looking for a spot to set his show in. Once he finds a good spot, he starts creating an environment, creating trees, a hill and a lake. After creating the battlegrounds, he heads for a city to look for contestants. After teleporting in random places and abducting ten contestants to the battlegrounds, he starts explaining the rules of the show. When creating the teams, at first Calculator suggests to create five teams of two but, under Torch's advice, he then asks to create two teams of five. Once the teams are set, he creates a pillar out of the ground and explains the rules of the first challenge: the contestants have to climb on top of the pillar and the first team who manages to get at least one member to the top wins immunity. He then stops Wisp from being able to fly, as it is not allowed in the challenge, leaving her on the ground for the rest of the episode.

In *The Forest*, Calculator is summoned by Lava Lamp by saying his name three times, in order to make Wisp able to float again. He claims to have forgotten about her "worthless self" and, with a snap of his fingers, he gives Wisp her ability back. With a careless attitude, Calculator leaves after ignoring the fact Wisp still hasn't eaten and warns the other contestants not to summon him again. Calculator reappears some time later to pester Berry and Blobby, passing it off as just "wanting to say hi", but he is shooed away by Berry. Despite having warned the contestants to not summon him, he is summoned a second time by Tanooki (under Lava Lamp's advice) to help him get down from The Pillar, so Calculator, visiblly annoyed, just pushes him off. When Rope, Wisp and Torch go into the forest to find a way to leave and accidentally discover the pile of dead bodies, Calculator immediately teleports them away from that place, with a clearly nervous expression on his face. Some time later, Calculator gathers all the contestants in a makeshift stage to announce some changes in the game rules and threatening them into not going into the forest again or swearing on camera. At the end of the episode, Calculator reveals he has placed bets on who will be eliminated in EOC 3 and asks the viewers to vote for them, although the name of the contestant he has placed bets on is censored.

## Trivia

* Calculator was created by ZDubbz and was originally meant to be the host of his previous scrapped shows.
* Calculator is 1,825,476,325,760 years old, according to ZDubbz himself.
* Also according to ZDubbz, there is an explanation for the fact that Calculator only has six buttons. However, the actual explanation is yet to be given.
* The original voice actor for Calculator, George The Clod, was fired from the crew some time after the lines for EOC 1 were recorded. After he left, SamuDrummer took over his role for both ads (despite being published before the first episode) and following episodes, shorts and more.
* As one may deduce from his current voice, especially the voice effect he speaks with, Calculator's character is modeled after Bill Cipher from the Disney series *Gravity Falls*.
