### Debut

Campground Despair day one

**Director Firefang** is a character from Campground Despair and a Camp Director at Camp Planet Wet. Allegedly, they've been a Director for ten years, and every day is their tenth birthday. They run the Camp Killing Game and are in charge of making sure things go smoothly, as well as looking after campers.

## Description

Firefang wears a half and half black and white suit. Their hair is also split black and white, and they have one black and one red eye. Their skin is purple, though one arm is robotic, colored a shiny metal silver.

## Personality

Firefang is eccentric and childlike. Their mood easily swings between upbeat and angry, and it is incredibly easy for campers to set them off. He is insanely stupid and falls for the dumbest things, most notably scams pertaining to the Camp Shop. Their memory is very bad, and they often glitch out when attempting to remember events from the past. In the first half of the story, they are especially excited over the Killing Game, viewing it as a fun camp game for everyone to enjoy. When campers refuse it, that angers him greatly. Other times, Firefang shows to care about his campers, declaring that camper safety is his number one priority and bonding with them over events such as the sleepover. They seem to be incredibly lonely and just wish for their campers to like them.

Post chapter four, after discovering they're a robot, their view of the Killing Game and camp shifted greatly. He became very unstable, though also much more sympathetic toward the campers and grow more mature than before. They strive to be like the true Director Firefang they were created after, struggling with whether to identify fully with him or to become their own person. They formed a few meaningful bonds with the remaining living campers, hoping to protect them until the end and somehow find a way to stop the second director.

During the chapter five trial, Firefang is horrified by the continuation of the killing game and the death of their campers. Upon a fight breaking out among the remaining campers of who to vote for, Firefang offers themself up as a sacrifice instead, proclaiming that they are tired of being Ace's puppet and want to make a choice for themself after being declared a friend by the campers. His campers don't take him up on the offer and rather continue voting for each other, which upsets Firefang greatly.

At the end of the killing game, Firefang declares their love of summer camp and decides to remain in Camp Planet Wet with the ghosts to become a real camp director and find their own person. They offer the remaining campers a home there, though when they reject it he wishes them the best and sends them off with a bittersweet farewell.

## History

### Before Camp

Not much is known about Firefang's life before camp, other than that they are a robot built by Ace modeled after the previous Director Firefang. Presumably, they lived with Ace in the sewers before camp opened.

### During Camp

Firefang is introduced during the first episode as Camp Planet Wet's director. Though eccentric, at first they seem to be fairly normal, until they announce the campwide killing game. This is a game that greatly excites them, and they are bummed when the campers don't seem to agree. They attempt to bribe the campers with promises of a water slide, which they do build after 001's death. On the first night at camp, Fire takes 001 aside, claiming that she isn't on their roster and demands to know her name, saying that it isn't Cryptic like she's claimed. 001 obliges, and Firefang allows her to stay.

The second week, Firefang holds a beach day, where they play games with the campers in an attempt to get them all into the camp spirit. Toward the end during the open mic, though, they grow angry and end the event. When Pixel washes up dead the next day, they are overjoyed and hop right back into the killing mood. The killer, Shrimp, is the traitor Firefang had made a deal with earlier in camp. After Shrimp's death, Firefang approaches Void and asks them to become the new traitor, cutting a new deal.

During the third week, Firefang leaves on a fishing trip and is angered by the lack of killing. They reveal that during their fishing trip, they had gathered the campers' deepest, darkest secrets, and threatens to reveal one each day. Still, this isn't enough, and no bodies show up even as Firefang reveals the majority of the camp's secrets. Finally, Katto is found dead, and during the trial it is revealed that his killer, Not A Bean, isn't the original Not A Bean that showed up at summer camp. Rather, he is a clone that he replaced his original. This upsets Firefang, and causes them to glitch out during a conversation with Lin and Abenz. They don't understand how something like this could be possible, and worry about their original camper Not A Bean. Lin and Abenz encourage Fire to write down these thoughts in a journal so they can look back on it whenever they return to their original programming. Firefang does so, writing down that the second director keeps secrets from them.

The fourth week, Firefang takes the campers to the island outside of camp, where they find a graveyard with the previous camp staff buried, including Firefang and Cryptic. Fire is deeply disturbed by this and doesn't understand how they could possibly be dead, until they then take the campers to their sewer home, where they live along with Ace. After investigating, the campers find blueprints and reveals that Firefang is a robot. This once again causes Firefang to glitch out and have a meltdown, unable to comprehend that they are not the true Director Firefang. Incredibly depressed and facing an identity crisis, they go MIA until their least favorite camper, Esiti, is killed. This puts Fire back into the killing spirit and cheers them up considerably. Though during the trial, they sober once more, realizing that the killing game isn't just a fun camp game but rather something real meant to destroy their beloved campers. At this point, they no longer want to run it, and are forced to execute Sylvia, a wrongly voted camper. They apologize and are heartbroken.

Week five, the rest of camp finally opens, and Firefang finds the place where the original Camp Director Firefang died. Realizing the massacre at Camp Planet Wet is a real thing that happened and that the audio transcripts aren't bogus, Fire once again resolves that the killing game is over. However, two more bodies turn up on camp: Damien, the camper that was becoming like a son to them, and an unknown body presumed to be Lin, another camper Firefang cared about dearly. Fire is deeply devastated and cannot comprehend why anyone would go out of their way to kill once again when it wasn't necessary. During the trial, it is quickly found that Lin is still alive and faked their own death, but Abenz claims to not care and instead wishes to vote Void out, who was revealed as the traitor week three. The camp is split in two, arguing over which camper deserves the death sentence, and Firefang is horrified. They demand that their campers stop fighting and realize what this game has turned them into, and offers themself up as a sacrifice, claiming the group can vote for him rather than taking the life of another one of their friends. Firefang claims that they love summer camp, and that they've never had free will in their life until now. This is a decision they want to make. Unfortunately, the campers refuse this deal and instead split the vote, causing Lin to be randomly executed. Firefang is sickened by the events and once again disappears.

Firefang arrives back just in time for the mastermind trial, where they learn Star, the janitor, has given the campers riddles to figure out which among them orchestrated the killing game. As the campers debate over the riddles, Firefang reveals something they had recently learned: that the first trial was a mistrial, and 001 did not kill herself. Rather, someone else murdered her, and covered it up by hiding the fact by Firefang. Fire determines that only the mastermind could have this kind of power, and the group revisits 001's murder only to find Ace was her true killer. When accused of being the mastermind, however, Ace laughs this off and tells the campers that they have bigger problems than him. Ace also reveals that there is no world outside of summer camp, and that he has massacred the known population including everyone at Camp Planet Wet in the audio transcripts found. With that as a dead end, but an opportunity to use their vote to actually execute the mastermind, the group returns to debate. Looking over the riddles once more, Star finally grows tired of their ceaseless bickering and reveals themself as the mastermind. The campers decide to vote them instead of Ace as 001's killer to have them executed, and Firefang gladly kills Star as vengeance for what they did to his campers. They banish Ace from camp, and at last, the killing game is over with only six campers still standing.

### After Camp

Firefang chooses to stay behind with the ghosts as the new director of Camp Planet Wet, pledging to take care of them forever and make summer camp into what it was supposed to be. They offer the remaining campers the chance to stay with him as a family as there is nothing left out there, to which they decline. Proud of their campers, Firefang walks them to the tunnel, wishing them luck and hoping that they will come back and visit. Unbeknownst to them, their campers walk right into a death trap. For the indefinite future, Firefang remains at Camp Planet Wet for an eternal summer camp, finally with the freedom to be their own person.

## Relationships

#### Ace

Firefang was built by Ace as a replacement for the true camp director, and the Firefang he remembers. Early on, Firefang seems enamored with Ace, referring to him as "the second director" or "Director Cryptic", and claiming that he always knows best. Once revealed that they are a robot, Firefang realizes they've been mixing up the true camp director Cryptic with Ace in their memories. From there, they hold strong negative feelings toward Ace, seeing as he's the reason all of their campers are dying.

#### Dark

At first Firefang viewed Dark as any other camper, calling him "Mr. Penix" before his true name was revealed. Later on in the series, Firefang seems to see Dark as a son or little brother, referring to him with affectionate terms such as "kid" or "kiddo".

#### Not A. Bean

Firefang is easily scammed by Nothaniel Alan Bean, claiming he has a trustworthy face.

#### Lin

Firefang seems to grow attached to Lin later on in the series, saying he hopes they survive the game. Lin was also one of the first people, alongside Abenz, to witness Firefang's worst glitches in which they seem to regret the Killing Game.

#### Esiti

Esiti may be the only camper Firefang truly hates, calling them a "foul demon". Firefang seems to be actually terrified of them, as Esiti is able to pry information from them using threats like the Unit Circle.

#### Mick

Firefang took Mick on a fishing trip and seems to dislike them since then.

#### Shrimp

Firefang chose Shrimp as the first traitor.

#### Void

Firefang chose Void as the second traitor. As Void lasted much longer than Shrimp, Firefang seems to have built an actual connection with them, though still outs them as the traitor in the Chapter Three trial.

#### Actual Director Firefang

Firefang was built and based off of the true Director Firefang, who died years previously in the Camp Planet Wet massacre. They hold some of their memories, but as Ace did not know much about the original director, Firefang often glitches out trying to recall things from their 'past'.

#### The Landlord

Firefang is behind on rent payments and lives in fear of the Camp Planet Wet landlord.

#### 001

Firefang is not a fan of 001, and claimed to be happy with her death.
