**Stone** is a male contestant in *Generic Object Battle*. He was the sixth contestant eliminated in The Forbidden Factory.

## **Personality**

Stone started off as a serious and stern person, who then developed into a strategic and manipulative genius. Stone is very observant, as he notices many little details, such as Pomegranate and Burger are in an alliance and how CC "left" Folder. He uses this to his advantage by using these to manipulate his fellow contestants and cause them to panic. The reason for his actions are unknown, but part of it could be to not follow viewer expectations, said by his rant of the viewers in episode 2. It could also be to get better footing in the game after his loss in GOB 3. Before GOB 4, Stone was a very vicious person verbally, calling out anyone who acted unintelligent and uncooperative, such as CD and Sign, and despite his actions against Folder, it could be argued he helped Folder become stronger. He is a very condescending individual and normally talks down to people. He can also be seen as confident, as we see with his facial expression that his plan is working in GOB 5 and 6, and he also likes to torment Folder about her problems, so he can also be seen as malicious.

## **Appearance**

Stone is, as stated, a stone. He has a protruding outer ridge of light grey and a main body of dark grey. His edges are rather jagged and he typically has an annoyed expression or a trouble-making smirk. He has both arms and legs.

## **Coverage**

### **Episode 1: Bold and Brash**

Stone is first introduced in Episode 1. Being that this is the first episode of GOB, nothing is known much about him excluding basic features of his personality and his appearance. Stone is depicted as a straightforward person who is easily irritated.

For the challenge, he is placed on a team with Earth, Cactus, Curtain and Chemical Jar. Stone originally tries to unify his teammates but to no avail, in which he remarks:

> "Ugh, how did I get on a team with such idiots?"
>
>

Originally, their statue of Cactus is cracked and not great, but with the help of Cactus's Melt Gun, they win the challenge with a 10/10 rating from TV.

### **Episode 2: Looping Lasers**

Before Spork's elimination, Stone states to "Never underestimate the stupidity of children," referring how younger audience members may vote for non-compelling characters only due to their so-called comedic existence. He speaks more about this and that "sometimes you just gotta be honest," giving more detail into his character and how bluntly he states things.

Upon the announcement that this challenge was a solo challenge, Stone makes a jab at Cactus in which he says:

> "Nice, I'm no longer working with Cactus! Thank the lord!"
>
>

Of course, Cactus is a bit bothered from this. This begins to define their negative relationship, and also lets us see that Stone is a bit of a mean person: Hateful and strong in his opinions.

Stone has a run-in with Coughdrop and shows pity in the other object's carefree nature. Annoyed by Coughdrop playing around with his gun, Stone firmly asks him if he's an idiot. Coughdrop responds in a laid-back manner which leads Stone to give up on him and shoot him. Coughdrop makes an attempt to shoot back but ends up missing and shooting Air Mattress instead. Stone develops a hatred for Coughdrop and tells him so before the scene changes.

Stone ends up being safe along with Coughdrop, in which Coughdrop happily says that their "alliance" is safe for another day. Stone shuts him down, saying "Why would I ever form an alliance with you?"

In the after-episode cutscene, Stone approaches Earth who had a pile of rocks. Stone sighs with annoyance, complaining that he "really [is] surrounded by idiots." Earth makes an attempt to correct him which only annoys Stone more and frames their negative relationship.

In this episode, we learn that Stone is quite judgemental and picky in who he chooses to form positive relationships with. Whether this is a careful measure taken or simply a rude trait is unknown.

### **Episode 3: Breakout Barrage**

Stone makes an appearance around the beginning of the episode, making a rude remark at Earth's alliance. Coughdrop then invites him to join the alliance, in which he begins to shut down again before realizing he had done so before and it wouldn't change how Coughdrop perceived him.

In this episode, he also breaks the fourth wall by saying "Let's cue the intro" right before the intro began.

In the challenge, Stone is paired with Sign which he shows his disliking for by stating "Oh no..." and promptly banging his head on a tree multiple times. Sign actually finds the key to the room quickly, but refuses to use it because of "finders' keepers." Stone is in disbelief at first but grows more irritated as the challenge goes on to the point where he ultimately decides to form a compromise with Sign which is inaudible to the audience.

### **Episode 4: The Archaic Adventure**

After the intro, Pistachio shares with Stone his suspicion of Burger having an ally. Pistachio talks about how Burger was clearly hiding something and Stone stated he'd "keep an eye out for weird activity." After Pistachio leaves, Stone seems to have something mischievous on his mind with his statement "Fishy you say," and his smug expression.

After the elimination of Coughdrop, Stone is shown talking to Chemical Jar who rants about his hatred of the other contestants and especially Earth. Stone is a bit annoyed with Chemical Jar talking to him, but takes this as an opportunity to tease the other contestant in this statement:

> "Here comes baby CJ, raging over his boyfriend." *(Stone, referring to Earth)*
>
>

Chemical Jar proceeds to flush red with embarrassment and attempted to deny what Stone said, with Stone responding that if the other contestant really hated Earth so much, he could just ignore him.

When the challenge began, Stone approaches Burger and offers to tag along with him as Chemical Jar had already taken Pomegranate, Burger's ally. Burger decides to accept and the two of them enter the temple.

As they walk through the hallways of the temple, Stone speaks up first, pointing out that Burger seemed a bit distressed. Burger responds that he "just has a couple things on [his] mind." Stone teases Burger, asking him if it's because he's separated from his "little girlfriend" (Pomegranate). Burger plays dumb, pretending to have no idea what Stone is referring to. Stone continues to accuse Burger of being in an alliance with Pomegranate, but Burger kept shutting him down until Stone casually stated that Pistachio had made an enemy of Burger due to this. Burger then loses his confidence in his act as Pistachio was his duo partner in the last challenge and realized that Pistachio knew what was going on. Burger goes into a panic about how Pistachio and Stone both knew and ends up confessing to the alliance, and at that point, Stone was certain in his suspicions. This scene lets us see more of Stone's strategic actions and manipulative nature in the show.

Pistachio and Curtain ended up winning the challenge, but Stone was not chosen to be up for elimination. Once all teams got out of the temple, Stone reported back to Pistachio about Burger and Pomegranate's alliance. While discussing it with Pistachio, Stone seems to be a good ally, but his smug smirk that showed after Pistachio left infers that he has ulterior motives.

### **Episode 5: Oversea Operation**

Although Stone's reaction to Pomegranate's elimination was not shown, we can assume he was quite satisfied with it based on his actions in the last episode.

In this challenge, Stone is placed on a team with Popcorn, Blueberry, and Folder. After eliminating Burger's alliance member, Stone had to find a new victim of his manipulation tactics in order to benefit himself. He decided on Folder, and dragged her aside to talk to her.

Stone first made a remark on how nervous Folder was, in which Folder replies that Cat Card has been assisting her with that issue. Stone decides to press uncertainty into Folder by asking if Cat Card was actually helping her. Stone points out that the two had not talked for a long time and Cat Card supposedly ditched Folder for Popcorn. This disorients Folder, and her anxious nature causes her to grow worried.

Popcorn eventually approaches Stone and Folder to discuss their strategy for the challenge. As Popcorn discusses the weapon they'll be using for the challenge, Stone gives Folder a menacing glance. Stone decides to further expand Folder's insecurity by stating that Cat Card would be quite proud of Popcorn's strategy if they were on the same team. Popcorn agrees quickly but points out Cat Card is not part of the team. Folder, who is quite distraught, sees this as Stone and Popcorn purposefully acting rude towards her. She soon loses her temper, telling the two to "shut up" with tears in her eyes. Folder breaks down, exploding at Stone and Popcorn for knowing that she felt ignored by Cat Card and "rubbing it in [her] face." As Folder yells at Popcorn, Stone has a satisfied smirk on his face, signifying that his plan succeeded. Folder eventually storms out, causing Popcorn to grow upset and ask Stone what he had told Folder, to which he responds he "may have told her a few things." Stone talks about how Cat Card ditched Folder for Popcorn and how "maturely" Folder handled the situation, stating that it was both Folder and Cat Card's fault. After Popcorn angrily leaves, Stone simply says "whatever" with a slightly annoyed expression.

By far in the series, this is the most manipulative thing Stone has done, potentially ripping apart friendships between three characters and even causing rivalries. Stone's motive for this is unknown, but it is most likely to turn the three girls against each other in order to cause them to get eliminated before him.

Nothing much of importance happened during Stone's time in the actual challenge besides him knocking Cat Card overboard with his remark "As they say, use your resources." Stone's team is safe in the end as Cactus's team ends up losing.

### **Episode 6: Flags of Fury**

In this episode, Stone is placed on a team with Curtain, Cologne, Blueberry, and Pistachio. Once the challenge began, Stone immediately expresses his regret, groaning and stating "Why did I choose to join this team? So pathetic." After Blueberry states that they're "just fun," Cologne says that they can do anything if they put their mind to it which seems to spark something in Stone.

Stone tells Cologne to distract Popcorn's team using flirtatious methods in which Cologne agrees. Stone also directs Curtain to guard their team's flag to which Curtain accepts, but is annoyed at the other object's dramatic response.

While Stone and Curtain guard their flag, Stone once again shows his disdain for the team through complaints and eye-rolling. Stone then spots Badge and Folder guarding arrows which Stone decides he needs. Once again manipulating the spiteful Folder, he makes many provoking statements before throwing her aside and taking the arrows. Stone's manipulation is even more hurtful in this scene, mentally damaging Folder.

Stone and Curtain then have a run-in with Burger, but while talking to him, they're oblivious to Earth taking their flag. Stone orders Curtain to attack Burger, but he misses, which causes Stone to get extremely irritated. After Curtain dramatically apologizes, Stone realizes their flag is gone and is in disbelief.

This is the first time Stone's had a run-in with something going wrong. Clearly worried and unnerved, Stone rushes to Cologne who has another team's flag and tells him that he has to get to TV with the flag before the other teams do.

Unfortunately, in an attempt to stop Cat Card from getting to TV with their team's flag, Stone accidentally boosts her to TV, resulting in his team losing the challenge. Before this point, Stone had never gone up for elimination.

## **Trivia**

* Stone is the last GOB contestant to not lose a single challenge, losing his first in Flags Of Fury.
