## Biography

Candymann was once the kindly owner of a candy shop in the Gorge region (cp\_ gorge). One day, he was given a strange experimental candy by a PRL Engineer, who promptly ran off after the delivery. Curious, Candymann tasted the candy and discovered that it gave him superpowers. He decided to moonlight as a candy-based superhero to promote his store.

However, Candymann realized that even with his powers and success, he would not live long enough to continue doing what he loved. In an attempt to preserve his legacy, Candymann used a magic ritual given to him by an old RED Medic friend that turned inanimate objects into sentient beings resembling humans.

At first, he only created Chocoman, Marshmallow Medic, and Snipermint by using chocolate, marshmallows, and mint leaves, respectively. Over time, he added almonds, gummies, bubblegum, hard candy, and caramel to the mix, turning them into living beings as well. He treated these candy-based "humans" like his own children, and taught them the ways of selling and promoting candy.

But it wasn't to last. Candymann's rival, Veganneer, a GRN Engineer who sold vegetables, grew jealous of Candymann's success and sent assassins after him. Using another magic ritual, Candymann conjured up a PRL teleporter and sent his creations to safety in the Snowplow region (cp\_snowplow), where another friend of Candymann's resided. After that, the PRL Spy fought his assassins to his last breath, cursing Veganneer to die a sugary fate.

Chocoman, Marshmallow Medic, Snipermint, and the rest of their candy-based friends are currently traveling the world as a group, fulfilling their "father's" wishes to continue promoting candy.

## Appearance and Personality

Candymann appears as a maskless PRL Spy wearing the *Backbiter's Billycock*, the *Spectre's Spectacles*, the *Dr. Whoa*, and the *Bozo's Brogues*, all painted *A Deep Commitment to Purple*.

Candymann is a good-natured and kind person. His one goal in life is to spread the joy of candy all over the world. He seemingly acts like a pacifist, using his powers to make candy. However when he finds himself under attack, he uses his powers to fend off his opponents.

He is also a father figure to his creations, often looking out for them, and protecting them from anything that could bring harm to them.

He bears negative views and reactions towards those that eat healthy, or freaks that are vegetable-based, and becomes agitated about their vegetable-based habits.
