Botuczy Fiery Candle

## Botuczy "Candle Man" Fiery Candle

* CMF
* CMWS

**Botuczy Fiery Candle**, better known by his nickname, **Candle Man**, is one of the main protagonists in the *Candle Man franchise*, being the titular one. He is the leader of the Candle Friends, and is currently in a romantic relationship with Mystic. He is also close friends with Shaduck and Limefong.

## Character development

Candle Man was added to the franchise as the titular character when the idea for *Candle Man's War Story* was made on *Pen's Wiki* by TalkingOddlySpooky. Candle Man is based on the user, Botuczy, who is frequently called Candle Man due to a period of time when his Fandom profile picture was a candle that he had recieved from someone in his school. His design in *Candle Man's War Story* was based a design Botuczy had created for the Peppa Pig Fanon Wiki, but with small tweaks in order to make his eyes bigger instead of them being dots and adding eyebrows and eyelashes. Additionally, this design was later changed to shorten Candle Man down in height and limbs, while also making his arms and legs more thicker, which was requested by MysticStars1201 who thought they were too long. In *Candle Man & Friends*, however, his design got changed yet again along with almost every other character.

## Physical appearance

Candle Man is a light grey candle with a small spark of fire on his head that rests on the skinny black stick on the near center of the candle base.

In *Candle Man & Friends*, his wax now has a shade of light blue, still keeping the hint of grey he had in Candle Man's War Story, his flame is a shade of orange instead of yellow, and his candle holder now covers and sits on a part of his head instead of being stuck on it.

## Personality

Candle Man is a very caring friend towards others and cannot tolerate his friends being harmed in any form as it highly aggravates him. Candle Man can get easily jealous of anybody trying to flirt with Mystic, his girlfriend. This rule of jealousy heavily applies to one of his biggest enemies aside from UCP, Chadder. This side of him implies that he dislikes being alone.

Candle Man is known for having a lot of energy, which often coincides with the fact that he can run at the speed of light. Despite usually being an energetic character, Candle Man is sometimes lazy, which coincides his love for sleeping in and his known hate of alarm clocks. This personality of his sometimes coincides with his love for eggplants and him being seen as the laziest member out of the Main 4.

Candle Man's intelligence is known for varying constantly, sometimes implying that he has a somewhat bad memory (which is later confirmed to be true, but he can overcome his amnesia rather quickly). He can range from being absolutely intelligent to the point of being seen as a genius to awfully dim-witted. He is seen slightly more intelligent than Shaduck on average.

Candle Man attempts to be honest at all times. He despises other people lying, even if it is to hide something from him, and will find some way to get people to be honest with him and stop hiding even the simplest of lies. In the past, he was constantly being fooled and tricked by others, causing him to have trust issues with everyone.

While Candle Man is nowhere near keen on lies, he is prone to being sarcastic and snarky when he wants to, inheriting this from his mother's side of the family. His snark and sarcasm can sometimes be offensive towards others but it is more common for it to be just a harmless joke.

Candle Man can be easily aggravated, more so than Baghead. Candle Man is the most short tempered out of the Candle Friends, as he can be set off over the simplest of things, such as a alarm clock beeping. When furious, Candle Man can sometimes resort to violence - he often activates his fire superpower and he can result to yelling. It is most notable when he is angry when his flame begins to grow larger in size, smoke coming out of the flame and becoming darker in color, sometimes having a red flame when completely tipped off the edge. Due to UCP's attack, Candle Man's flame turns orange, his anger during the war scarring him and affecting his flame with an irreversible change.

## Appearances

As he is the protagonist of the show, Candle Man appears in all media of which the franchise installs.

## Abilities

### Ability to control fire

Candle Man, being a candle, can control fire. However, he struggled to control it fully until the age of nine, as shown in "Before War Story" and "Candle Baby".

As shown several times throughout the franchise, this ability allows Candle Man to create anything (anyone in the case of Fireball, though Gwen contributed more to his creation) merely out of fire, and turn anything (or anyone, most notably UCP in *War Story*) to dust. For living beings, the process of turning one to ash is much slower than it is for inanimate objects. He can also use this power to teleport objects made of firey away or to himself.

With this power, one of the most common objects Candle Man is shown creating is a fire wall, which he uses to trap his foes or shield himself and/or his friends. However, due to water killing fire in real life, the fire wall can be destroyed if liquid comes near it, as shown in "Once More Dystopia" when a spilled MediaWiki destroyed a fire wall Candle Man had created.

### Candle Vision

This ability allows Candle Man to see in eagle vision, allowing him to find hidden things much easier. As revealed in the *Candle Man & Friends* episode, "Spammed On", it can also detect lies and truth.

### Super Speed

This ability allows Candle Man to move at the speed of light. Coinciding with his energetic personality and eagerness to participate in adventures and journeys.

### Mating Candle Call

This ability allows Candle Man to summon anyone by saying their full names out loud, however, if he is not informed of whom's full name, he will not be able to call them out loud.

### Firebatter

Using the frying pan as his bat and a fireball as his ball, Candle Man strikes the fireball with his frying pan much like in a baseball game. The fireball will ricochet if it hits a wall.
