WARNING: Super long character bio! If you read this, you must be super bored since I'm only typing this up for my own reference later on. Beeball will go into my character section once I make a better reference of him. Stuff is subject to change once he makes it into the comic.

Gender: Technically genderless, but identifies as Male.

Known Family: ?

Friends: Panzer, other bee characters, cute docile animals, any other inflatable toys and creatures. It's very likely that Beeball's "friends" do not reciprocate these feelings.

Cartoon Classification: Stretch-Squash Cartoon -> Anthropomorphic Insect/Rubber Toy Hybrid (Bumblebee)

Backstory:

Beeball's origins are completely unknown at this point. The only thing that is known is that he and Panzer partnered up sometime in the past and have been inseparable since.

This inflatable idiot is super clumsy and has a tendency to get into trouble. Beeball "dies" a lot, either through being popped, ripped open, exploded, among others. However, he always seems to "come back", still unwilling to learn from past mistakes. Panzer sews and patches up Beeball's rips and tears, but it is unknown how Beeball manages to come back to life even after being blown apart into millions of tiny pieces.

On a random note, Beeball actually does have googly-eyes on the insides of his eye-slits. His eyes "pop out" like a stress toy whenever he's surprised, or when enough pressure is applied on his body.

Personality:

Beeball is actually really docile, only fighting when being ordered to, or when someone important to him is in trouble. He likes to hug and cuddle those he considers friends, but sometimes forgets his own strength when being affectionate.

Much like any bee, he prefers to take orders from a superior, and doesn't mind doing busy work for others. Without being directed, he feels somewhat lost and disorganized. He has hardly any understanding of what is right and wrong, which is why Panzer is able to order him to do almost anything.

His emotional development is that of a young child, and he has been known to whine and cry when things don't go his way. Sometimes, he develops child-like "puppy love" crushes on female inflatable toy characters. He cannot begin to understand anything to do with sex/reproduction, seeing how he's a toy himself and not anatomically correct.

Finally, Beeball has a tendency to giggle at every little thing. Unfortunately for him, he has one of the most annoying laughs: "SQUEE-HEE-HEE-HEEK!"

Strengths:

He is a ridiculously loyal and affectionate friend to those he's close with (mainly Panzer). Beeball is also super stubborn and will persevere in the face of danger to help his close friends out.

Beeball's main strengths are physical. He is unbelievably strong, even more so than Cat Canada at her peak strength. His rubbery exoskeleton is amazingly durable, being somehow shock-proof, heat-proof, trauma-proof and even bullet-proof! Most physical trauma just bounces off harmlessly, only making him laugh at the most. His rubber body does not conduct electricity, and he can tolerate a large amount of pressure on the outside of his body - he can be squashed and stretched to extremes with no ill effects because he has no internal organs. His arms can stretch outward a large amount, often using them for "elasto-punches" or grabbing onto faraway objects.

Lastly, Beeball can store a large amount of objects, gasses, liquids and sometimes even living creatures in his hollow body. Anything stored inside is usually concealed effortlessly, making no sounds or imprints. Beeball can inhale an incredible amount of air and expel a gust of wind to blow away other people/objects.

Weaknesses:

He is one of the dumbest creatures ever to walk (or bounce?) on the face of the earth. Simple math, logic and large words utterly confuse him, and he has a hard time remembering long lists of instructions. Beeball is also super suggestible and easily tricked by even the most transparent of con artists.

Physically, his biggest weakness is anything sharp. Beeball panics whenever he's close to things like swords, thorns, cacti, scissors, metal forks, barbed wire and the like because sharp objects are one of the only things that can pierce through his thick rubbery exoskeleton.

While Beeball has a high tolerance for pressure against his outer body, his tolerance for internal pressure is much lower (possibly because it puts too much stress on his seams). He greatly dislikes being forcibly expanded, and can only take so much internal pressure before he explodes into tiny black-and-yellow bits.

Oh yeah, Beeball has an unfortunate issue with sneezing. If he sneezes and expels the air, he'll go flying. If he "holds in" the sneeze, he might explode!

Fighting Style:

He's a punching bag that punches back - although, Beeball doesn't fight unless he's provoked, or when Panzer orders him to. Beeball is unbelievably strong, and prefers to punch, throw, or chokehold others when fighting. He can inflate his fists to make them larger and cover more surface area when punching.

Body wise, he is almost impervious to pain (except for sharp objects). Most impacts wont even hurt him, and most opponents would tire out fighting him with brute force. Simply put, he weebles and wobbles, but doesn't fall down.
