### Debut

The Early Reel (Prototype)"The DVD" (Final concept, official first episode)

**Gumball** (formerly **Zach**) **Tristopher Watterson** is the protagonist of the hit Cartoon Network show *The Amazing World of Gumball*. He is a twelve-year-old, blue male cat that goes to Elmore Junior High, with his adopted brother Darwin and his four-year-old sister Anais. Gumball is in Miss Simian's class. As of "The Shell," Gumball is dating Penny.

After the events of his series's Finale ("The Inquisition"), this version of Gumball alongside his siblings get transported to this Roleplay Universe due to a strange rift they found in their school's basement upon their quest to find Rob ever since he went missing after the final episode (it was more like Gumball and Darwin attempting to find Rob while Anais follows them in secret).

Where he had much fun meeting characters from franchises he knows about and likes, and idolizes a version of Son Goku so much to the degree that he asked for Goku to train him. And then the bombshell information hits as Goku revealed that they are in fact, related (thanks to PGV Goku's connection with Shenron and the knowledge he gained), as Gumball is some distant descent of Goku's bloodline from another Universe, where one of his descents traveled to the weird world of Elmore and then live there and breed, causing members of Gumball's family to have Saiyan blood (which explained why Nicole/Gumball's mother is so powerful and scary when she needs to), and other factors, such as their rash, determined and stubborn personality, and maybe even Gumball's Gag Moment of transforming into a Super Saiyan all in the actual show ("The Pest").

Gumball had created his own Bakery Shop within the Rebel Spacestation in celebration of the news and his upcoming training under Goku as well as competing with his sister, Anais, to have a good running food establishment, and is currently the owner of that ongoing business and PGV Goku's latest student.

Eventually, more and more of his classmates and friends would arrive to the Dinerverse, and one of his friends, Carrie the Ghost, was able to use her magic to open portals and invite the Watterson parents, Nicole and Richard Watterson over.

Gumball's mother, Nicole, now owns what was his Bakery business and expectedly performs better than he ever could.

## Personality

Gumball is a very imaginative person. Despite his mediocre academic performance, he can be surprisingly brilliant when it comes to formulating all sorts of mischievous schemes. This side of him can be seen in episodes such as "The Plan," in which he quickly formulates a basic outline to he and his siblings plan to "save" their mother, and in "The Scam," in which he forms a crafty scheme that will allow him to cleanly heist the town's candy effortlessly. Such a side may also suggest Gumball is smarter than he lets on, as hinted by his expansive vocabulary, cooking skills, and ukulele skills as well.

Gumball is also pretty optimistic. Despite his cynicism towards society itself, as seen in episodes such as "The Bumpkin" and "The Money," he is still fairly positive in what to expect out of people (though there are exceptions). When his family is financially suffering in "The Money," he reminds them of the joys of family and pushes them to be more optimistic. In "The Others," he is quick to reject Clare's notion of "no happy ending," only wanting to see her have a happy ending (no matter how forced it was). He's also happy to help others, as seen in "The Void," "The Upgrade," and "The Slide," in which in all three he went great lengths to assist Molly, Bobert, and Rocky, respectively.

In general, Gumball is very protective of his loved ones. On multiple occasions, he is quick to go into a sort of "over-protective" mode whenever anybody tries to hurt his siblings, Darwin and Anais, as seen in "The Parasite," in which he tried to nearly poison Jodie when he thought she was hurting Anais, or in "The Rerun," in which he aimlessly tried to attack Rob out of rage when Darwin died.

Gumball has a very sarcastic nature. He is quick to diffuse all sorts of quips towards others, ranging from fairly harmless to sometimes blunt and rude. As demonstrated in episodes such as "The Stories" and "The Test," these snarky comments are impulsive.

Gumball also has a fairly massive ego, which seems to be a fault of his. When not tamed properly, his ego can drive him to do some pretty jerky things. Darwin tapping into his musical talents in "The Triangle" causes Gumball to have short-lived jealousy towards him before he realizes he is wrong. His ego also explains his relationship with Alan; the fact that Alan is so effortlessly loved drives Gumball to expose him for being scummier than he lets on (which later turns out to be accurate). This ego also makes him very sensitive, as seen in "The Meddler," in which he becomes an emotional wreck when he is told his cheerleading performance was terrible.

As of his time in the RP Universe, he developed a crazed fan trait when he gets to meet characters who are fictional in his Universe, mainly for the *Dragon Ball* franchise and its main character, Son Goku. Where he would always get excited whenever he gets to be around Goku (or any other DB characters in general) and even broke into all of the controls on the Space Station to announce to everyone through the speakers that he is related to Goku.

## Trivia

* User KitKatStudios throw in the plot twist lore of Gumball being related to Goku as an inspiration from YouTuber's Toonsmyth's *Ultimate Cartoon Fighting* series where the character Skips from *Regular Show* being secretly a super powerful version of Goku from the future there, where it's a ridiculous type plot twist and that's why KitKat loves it and also appreciated it when two of her favorite verses collide in lore in that manner.
* KitKatStudios made Gumball going crazy over the DB franchise and Goku as a running gag based on her own personal experiences of being a fan of the franchise.
	+ The connections between the version of Goku that is training Gumball and Gumball is that they are both childish main animated characters from their respective series with both of them also becoming the icon of their certain category in the progress of doing so (Gumball is the icon of Cartoon Network while Goku is the icon of Anime/Shonen), both have a intelligent ally (Bulma and Anais), both have been into martial arts, they are both really low in terms of intelligence (mainly being book smart), they both have an evil twin of them that are taken from their other name/persona that are their birth names (Evil Kakarot and Zachary Watterson), they both have "Son" in their names (**Son** Goku and Gumball Watter**son**), both have been shown to obtain feats capable of destroying Universes before (Goku doing a lot in *Dragon Ball Super* and Gumball with the Universal Remote), they've both fought robots before (Bobert and Dr. Gero's Androids), and both have a close best friend that they met during their childhood (Krillin and Darwin).
		- To add this up even more, they both went Super Saiyan and funny enough, Super Saiyan Gumball was actually inspired off of Super Saiyan from the *Dragon Ball* franchise.
* He is currently user KitKatStudios's favorite character to RP as because of his sheer knowledge of things such as feeling his way out of the Fourth Wall, and realistically knowing other characters from other franchises and being a fan of them, not to mention, there isn't any Gumball RPer around here before which made KitKat feels extra special for having the main MC from her second favorite cartoon be around and her to portray him.
	+ Also due to his natural ability coming from a Gag show poking fun of many real-world and fictional things (of course the Fourth Wall included), he can poke fun of the Fourth Wall and other things around here too within the Roleplay Universe.)
