**Lily** is a character created by John the Bopper and is based on a character created by the artist of the same name.

RANDOM THINGS

Horror Movie 4

The Super Special Holiday Christmas Special

RANDOM THINGS The Movie

A RANDOM THINGS Christmas Carol

## Personality

This iteration of Lily differs from the version Fox Comix created in many ways. One of these is that she's shown to be more compassionate, as she was willing to help John save Vin in RANDOM THINGS The Movie and complimented the Horror Movie Killer's mask in Horror Movie 4. She also tends to come off as kind of ditzy, as seen when she can't find her phone, only to immediately find it. Lily also regularly seems to be the subject of pain or injury more often than other characters, such as when she gets punched in the face or when her iteration of John throws her into the street. She is also known to be very mischievous, like when she jumped into a Christmas box or when she grabs John by the neck to teleport him and giving him the excuse of leaving him in another dimension "for plot." She's also fearless and tends to enjoy thrills like amusement park rides.

## Abilities and Powers

**Warping:** Like other characters in the series, Lily has the ability to warp from place to place, including other dimensions. In the world of RANDOM THINGS, this is explained as an ability she learned herself, though John assumes she can because he read her comics in which her counterpart could similarly teleport. It is unknown if she has access to the Word Beyond Reality.

**Fox-Like Abilities:** In the animated shorts, Lily is a human/fox hybrid and can turn into a pink fox at will, giving her all the natural abilities of a fox.

**Weapons Proficiency:** It can be assumed that similarly to her other version, Lily is able to wield weapons very well.

**Energy Hands**: As the supervillain Dr. Destructo, Lily is able to shoot energy blasts from her hands.

## Trivia

- All iterations of Lily have been the characters most consistently punched in the face.

- Lily having the ability to teleport contradicts the original version of the character, as she can only teleport with a special collar.

- She is the character most often seen alongside Dan.

- Due to her appearance in the joke short The Quest 4!? it can be assumed that if an actual Quest 4 is ever made, she will be in it.

- The RANDOM THINGS episode "Amusement Park" insinuates that Lily is dating Nick.
Badguy McGee

## Character Information

### Appears in

RANDOM THINGS The Movie

A RANDOM THINGS Christmas Carol

The Quest for the Golden Mask

## Personality

Not much is originally known about the forest nymph. He blocks John on his journey to reach the fries and asks to solve "his riddles three" only to be knocked out in a single punch. He is overly eccentric and completely wild, and it is unclear if he is a crazy man living in the woods wearing a Rick mask, or if he's really a nymph and that is his ugly, ugly head.

However, The Quest for the Golden Mask reveals much about the forest nymph. Originally a nymph originating from the lake, the nymph was exiled to the forest to act as its "guard" due to his appearance and change in gender. He started wearing the Rick mask to appear more human-like, though it ripped shortly before the film. A hooded figure approached him, convincing him to befriend and help them in searching for the golden mask. After this, the nymph becomes more straightforward, aggressive and serious, and he gains quite a lot of strength and confidence. His self-esteem increases after befriending John and defeating the hooded figure.

## Trivia

- When John punches him in RANDOM THINGS The Movie, he says "Sorry, force of habit." which insinuates it's an instinctual reflex for Johns to punch forest nymphs.

- He has become somewhat of a meme character, particularly the frame where John's fist is about to make contact with his face.

- Forest Nymph is chronologically John's first transgender character.

## Personality

The gargoyle is shown to be both John's guide through the motel, as well as seemingly helping him at certain points. However, he also taunts John regularly throughout his journey, believing that he cannot reach the bottom floor in time. He is later revealed to be a cunning, evil spirit that leads the undead within the motel, attempting to gather enough souls to form an army so that the dead may rule the living. He believes that John, being the first human in 100 years to arrive at the motel, will be the final soul he needs to complete his army and is hellbent on keeping him from leaving, though his minions are not very good at it. He is also shown to be an excellent salesman, as seen when he created an infomercial for a Motel 31 poster to fund his world takeover. In the end, he was shown to be desperate, having exhausted all his options and transforming by fusing with all the motel's souls, making him an easy target for John to defeat.

How to Time Travel

## Synopsis

The Script is the literal script written and used by John for his videos. One day, he decided that for an episode of Obvious Things, he would show his audience how to travel through time via a homemade time machine. While looking through the Script, the turbulence causes him to drop the Script in a rip in space-time in the World Beyond Reality, causing it to fall into the hands of a John from another dimension. Because this Script detailed all the events of every video up until that point, it also meant it included how the book worked. The other John used this book to access the World Beyond Reality, and travel to the alternate timeline of the Horror Movie series, take the place of the killer, and go on a killing spree to use the power of the book to make himself immortal and to further his ability to travel through dimensions. He was eventually stopped by John Prime and Vin Prime, along with a group of alternate versions of their friends. John then took the book back from the Evil John after he sacrificed himself to stop the universe from unraveling. John then continued to use the book as a script until he reached the point in time where he dropped it mid-time travel, causing a time loop in which the Script is eternally stuck between 2018 and 2022.

## Uses

**Dimension Control:** The user of the book is able to create, destroy and change aspects of reality, such as reviving people from the dead.

**Interdimensional/Time Travel:** The book allows the user to travel time and space, and access the World Beyond Reality.

**Immortality:** If the user of the book kills another person in another reality, they can take their lifespans for themselves, allow the user to potentially live for all time.

## Weaknesses

**John Prime:** John himself and the events he personally changes cannot be altered by the book, as he is the one who wrote it.

## Trivia

- The Universal Script can be seen in How to Come Up with Ideas, though it was not known to be the Script at the time.

- The ability to change and manipulate the reality of yourself and other people is a concept explored through this item, and is used to show the effect of forcing your will on to others and taking the easy way out.

- It has been stated by John that anything that is written in the actual book, whether it is made into a video or not, is canon.
Somebody

*This is the article about the character. For the film of the same name, see Somebody (Film).*

## Character Information

### Portrayed by

Hatchet

**Somebody** is a character created by John the Bopper. It is the main antagonist of the short film of the same name. It is a "shadow" that torments Michael's mind and is portrayed by Hatchet.

## Personality

Somebody is the personification of Michael's insecurities and negative perceptions. Acting as a bad conscience, it tries pushing Michael to his emotional limits and almost makes him quit writing, though seeing as it only exists in Michael's mind, it's actually symbolizing Michael's self-doubt and anger at himself. It takes on an almost mischievous personality and manner but is generally considered to be a sinister creation of Michael's anxiety towards his work and others. It isn't until Michael is reassured by his girlfriend Luna that Somebody disappears for good.

## Trivia

- Much of what Somebody says throughout the film are things that John had once thought about himself.
A RANDOM THINGS Christmas Carol

He is taken back in time one year by the Ghost of Christmas Past, who learns that Dan hates Christmas because he doesn't like the taste of eggnog. He is then sent to meet the Ghost of Christmas Present, who shows him how sad everyone is that he couldn't be there to celebrate with them.

Nick

**Nick** is a character created by John the Bopper. He is a recurring character in RANDOM THINGS, usually as an antagonistic or side character, and as a side character in Horror Movie 4 and Fake News.

## Nick

Nick as he appears in RANDOM THINGS - Amusement Park

## Character Information

### Appears in

RANDOM THINGS
The Quest Remake

Horror Movie 4

## Personality

Nick tends to be a very cocky person, as well as very airheaded. He fell for the pizza trick the Horror Movie Killer pulled on him and ended up being killed, and his overconfidence got him hit in the head with a basketball by Matt. He can also be very goofy, jokingly trying to stop John from reaching the fries, only to be punched in the face. Nick is shown to be compassionate, caring about the fates of both Vin and Matt while John does not in Fake News. He's also been shown to be scared of even the tamest thrill rides, cementing his latent cowardice, though he tries hard to hide it.

## Trivia

- Nick is the least recurring character on the channel, having only appeared 4 times.

- He appears as the main character in the RANDOM THINGS episode "Amusement Park" where it's revealed that he and Lily are dating.
Luna

**Luna** is a character in the short film Somebody, created by John the Bopper. She is a supporting character and Michael's girlfriend, and is portrayed by Fox Comix.

## Personality

Throughout the film, Luna expresses deep concern for Michael's well-being, which means she is aware of his self-destructive behavior. Though Michael tries to push her away due to Somebody's influence on his mind, she is still shown to care for him and look past his actions to see the bigger picture. It could be argued that these traits made her the one who defeated Somebody, since because of her understanding and sympathetic nature, she was able to tell Michael exactly what he needed to hear, causing Somebody to disappear due to Michael's newfound confidence.

## Trivia

- This is Fox's fourth film role.

- It is also the only role in which she isn't a gag character.
The Origin Of

**The Origin Of** is a comedy series created by John the Bopper. The series is about John exploring the way things come to exist, usually in a comedic manner. The series started in June 2020 and has seemingly been on hiatus since January 2021.

## Format

Much like Obvious Things, the series follows a formula in which John brings up a question to someone (usually played by himself) asking them how they think the subject of the episode (water, the wave, holidays, etc) came into existence. This will trigger a flashback to sometime in the past in which people act wildly different than they would then. They would then reenact a completely fabricated history of the subject's origin. The episode would end with the flashback ending and John would reply with a variation of the phrase "No, not really."

## Trivia

- John never thought of making the first video, The Origin of the Wave, or expanding it into a series. It was originally a spin on a media project he made for school that he decided to upload to YouTube. When it performed well, he decided to make it into a series.

- Coincidentally, it is one of the lowest-viewed series on the channel, which could be the reason for its extended hiatus.
Roaring Penguin

**Roaring Penguin Productions** (d.b.a **Roaring Penguin**) is a film and video production group created by John the Bopper. It is comprised of himself and his friends. They have technically been active since the John the Bopper YouTube channel started in 2017, though they were nameless until August 2021. They are known for creating the short form video series on the channel, as well as being the banner for all the channel's films.

## Series

Roaring Penguin's name has been placed on two series, Motel 31 and The Wizard Lizard. However, RANDOM THINGS and Obvious Things are also made by the group, though their existence predates it.

Icepop's One-Stop Shop features their mascot, Icepop, so it being one of the series under their banner goes without saying.

## Podcast

Roaring Penguin produces one podcast, Racketcast.

## Trivia

- The name Roaring Penguin was picked because penguins are John's favorite real animal.

- Their original logo used during The Backup Plan was much more crudely drawn in John's art style before it was redesigned by Sam Z Cartoons.
Ask John Whatever You Want

The **Ask John Whatever You Want** event was a Q&A session on Brombo's Dickcord Discord Server. The event began with John being bored and asking people to give him questions to answer.

## Examples of Questions and Answers

Some of the substantial questions and answers given included:

**Q:** What inspires you most?

**J:** my experiences with other people are probably the best inspirations I get

**Q:** #ibetjohnisajacksfilmsfanhejusthasthatkindofenergy

**J:** you are correct he is my favorite

**Q:** John do you think that society has a weird time with people who dont fit their criteria of "normal". Do you think it's basically just complete alienation because people grow up believing if you don't fall into my ideal view of the world you aren't worth being considered human.

**J:** For sure, especially a few years ago. I mean, I've been discriminated against for being different for reasons I can't really control. At the very least, it's not usually complete alienation, more like subtle discrimination, though in some cases its definitely more blatant. But I feel like we're getting much better with inclusion, so that's something.

**Q:** John how far would you go for fame/money?

**J:** for money, not very far. for fame, probably give my arm. I hav my reasons

**Q:** Do you know any goblins??

**J:** yes, her name is FoxComix

**Q:** John whats your political view on Skylanders: swap force?

**J:** I think it is the best skylanders game
