## Biography

### Events of *Hazbin Hotel: Journey to the Light*

#### Season 5

In "Back in Business," Tingles, Calliope, and Larson make a triumphant return to the Mint City Casino after an extensive tour through the underworld. While Calliope is busy perfecting her makeup, Tingles and Larson demand drinks from Wally Wackford to celebrate their wild adventures. During this revelry, Tingles begins to recall a rather unsettling incident at *Ozzie's, where they stumbled upon the unexpected sight of Fizzarolli, very much alive since their last encounter. Initially, Larson is taken aback by this revelation, but they all share a hearty laugh, attributing their lack of memory about the details to their excessive intoxication. Despite a moment of unease, they brush it off and savor their drinks at the casino.*

In "When We Do Wrong, No One Forgets," Tingles, Larson, and Calliope successfully retrieve the group of angel children known as Charlie's Angels from Crimson's gang, presenting them to Mammon, who had been searching for them at Lucifer's urging. At first, they revel in the sadistic spectacle of Mammon's interrogation, finding dark amusement in the proceedings. However, their amusement takes a swift turn towards sheer terror when Giulia discloses that Fizzarolli had miraculously survived Mammon's previous assassination attempt. Mammon's wrath then shifts onto Larson and his companions, resulting in a comically exaggerated punishment. After the children manage to escape with Ebony's help, Mammon orders the trio to eliminate Fizzarolli, dismissing their concerns about the imp's protection under Asmodeus. Mammon threatens them with a gruesome fate involving molten gold if they fail to carry out the assassination, compelling them to embark on their perilous mission.

In "The Clock is Ticking," Mammon attempts to persuade Fizzarolli to return to his service personally, but Asmodeus intervenes. Left with no other option, Mammon sends a summons for Tingles and his companions. Tingles and Larson are in the middle of vandalizing their hotel room and blaring hard rock music when they receive Mammon's call.

Tingles and his mates go to Mammon and are assigned them the task of retrieving Fizzarolli to ensure Mammon continues profiting from the imp's debts. When Mammon's underlings seek guidance on their unusual mission, Mammon sarcastically suggests reassembling Fizzarolli's scattered limbs to plunge him back into debt. In an amusing twist, Larson takes this absurd "advice" quite seriously, and Mammon's crew concocts a plan to kidnap Fizzarolli with the aim of reattaching his severed limbs, all in the hopes of getting him back into debt.

In a hilariously absurd scene, Larson, Calliope, and Tingles find themselves in a dimly lit warehouse, fashioning a makeshift murder board to track down Fizzarolli's missing limbs. Calliope questions the necessity of recovering all of Fizzarolli's limbs, but Larson cleverly explains that the more limbs they retrieve, the greater Fizzarolli's debt will be. Tingles enthusiastically reveals that he possesses Fizzarolli's right arm, hinting at a suggestive backstory. On the other hand, Calliope admits to having Fizzarolli's left leg, which she occasionally uses for dance practice. This leaves only his left arm and right leg to be located. In an embarrassing revelation, Larson confesses to having sold Fizzarolli's right arm to an amputee, but Tingles reassures them that it won't be a problem.

In a slapstick turn of events, the trio tracks down the imp amputee and humorously retrieves Fizzarolli's arm by forcibly removing it from the amputee's body, leaving him in considerable pain. Calliope then demands to know the whereabouts of Fizzarolli's right leg, to which Larson sheepishly admits he discarded it. This admission earns him an angry dope slap from Calliope. In a rush, they head to the overflowing Greed Ring landfill. The trio of villains hastens their efforts, with Tingles employing a comically oversized balloon to lift them into the air, Larson and Calliope hanging on for dear life.

In a mid-credits scene, Larson, Calliope, and Tingles find themselves suspended in the air, floating aimlessly. Calliope urges Tingles to steer towards the landfill, but Tingles humorously reveals that he has no control over their direction, leaving them at the mercy of the wind's whims as they continue their absurd journey.

## Personality

Tingles is highly aggressive, chaotic, and psychologically disturbed animatronic character. Driven by greed, he openly embraces his cruel nature, engaging in acts of harassment towards his colleagues and even assaulting his fans in plain sight. He cunningly relies on his established reputation and the unwavering loyalty of his followers to evade consequences for his actions. Tingles exhibits sadistic tendencies, deriving pleasure from tormenting his co-workers, as illustrated by his participation with Larson and Calliope in the mocking and mistreatment of Blitzø after the latter injured himself while attempting to perform Fizzarolli's signature spinning move.

Tingles also embodies an extreme hedonistic and immature rock star lifestyle. He enthusiastically indulges in hard drinking and wild partying, finding immense pleasure in wrecking his hotel rooms while cranking up the volume on blaring rock music through the speakers.

He is also evidently a pervert and sexual predator, as he eagerly leaps at the opportunity to molest his rabid fangirls and fanboys whenever he gets the chance to.

## Appearance

Tingles is an animatronic character with a grey exterior, adorned in vibrant light green clown attire matching Mammon's color scheme featuring a ruffled collar, a bowtie, a whimsical jester hat, and matching leggings. His design seems to draw inspiration from a dinosaur or lizard, evident in his forked tongue. Much of his mechanical exoskeleton is visible, and he possesses pale green eyes with dark green concentric circles.

## Powers and Abilities

### Abilities

* **Balloon Generation**: Tingles has a built-in helium tank that allows him to generate balloons from his fingertips. This allows him to generate balloons in quick succession, eventually granting him pseudo-flight.
	+ **Balloon Flight**: Tingles can use several balloons at once, or simply a single large balloon, to glide, float, and hover in the air. He can defy gravity while doing this, controlling the direction and trajectory of his balloons.
* **Limb Extension**: Much like Robo Fizz and Fizzarolli, Tingles possesses extendable limbs which he can use to easily scale vantage points and attack people with by wrapping his arms around them.
* **Musical Talents**: Tingles can DJ, play an electric piano, and an electric guitar.
* **Natural Weaponry**: Tingles possesses incredibly sharp, metallic teeth which he can use offensively against others.

#### Larson

Tingles and Larson share an unbridled, chaotic camaraderie, often finding themselves embroiled in trouble and even getting arrested as a duo. They thrive on inciting riots and actively embrace their own chaotic tendencies, reveling in their destructive antics.

**Fizzarolli**: (he gasps deeply) OH NOOOOOOoooo.....is what I would say if I knew what the fuck that was.
**Larson**: (he, Calliope and Tingles are dumbfounded) It- It's a saw!!! Don'tcha remember? (Larson hands Tingles the saw and imitates Fizzarolli) 'Oh, please! Please guys! I loved youz since I was a youngster!' (Tingles laughs and mimics cutting Larson's limbs off) 'Ahhh, that's my meat beatin' hand!' (he and Tingles laugh raucously)
**Fizzarolli**: (he rolls his eyes) Yeah, real funny, ya chucklefucks. Well, Ozzie made sure to ban all saws from the Lust Ring! Just for me! So yeah, kinda forgot about those things.
**Calliope**: How could you FORGET?! We traumatized ya!
**Fizzarolli**: Yeah, for like a couple days. I mean, I could FAKE being scared, I am a performer, but the look on your faces is all too rewarding!
**Tingles**: (he gets in Fizzarolli's face with the saw, causing the jester's eyes to widen) Oh yeah? Then let's refresh yer memory, shall we? The memory of a saw slicin' through yer flesh, severing your tendons and muscles. Your delicious juices splashing on my face while I move my hands back and forth (at this point, Fizzarolli has a cheeky grin while Larson and Calliope look in embarrassment, the latter facepalming), and me LICKING your succulent bodily fluids as it coats my face!
**Calliope**: Ok, Tigs that's-
**Tingles**: And when I finish, it's Larson's turn to take over! And your moanin' and groanin'...

**Fizzarolli**: Sooo what the fuck is the saw for, anyway? All's I got are the robo limbs and trying to cut through them is more pointless than Mam's attempts to stay relevant.
**Larson**: (he puts the saw to Fizzarolli's neck) How's about cuttin' off yer head?!
**Fizzarolli**: And piss off the big guy? (Fizz laughs) Lars, I knew you weren't the sharpest dildo in the drawer, but I didn't think you were THIS fuckin' dumb!
**Larson**: (he rolls up his sleeves) Why I oughta... (Tingles and Calliope hold him back) Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!*"
