"It's just that no one here likes me!"
-Bone, "An Ice Beginning"
Bone is a male contestant in Animated Inanimate Battle. He is a member of Team 3.
Appearance[]
Bone is a femur bone, with a grey-ish white main color with white lightning.
Redesign[]
Bone's color changed to light sand due to his redesign.
Personality[]
Bone is kind, gentle, naïve and harmless, but is hated and isolated by all the contestants in the Blank Slate for seemingly no reason. Because of this, he has a restraining order where he can't approach anyone within 20 feet.
However, instead of trying fighting back, Bone accepts his place and lets himself be pushed around and judged by almost everyone. He has shown several times to be seeking friendship, for others to enjoy his company and wanting to change others' negative view of him.
At first, Oodle was the only one who liked (and still likes) Bone, always being happy whenever Bone managed to succeed on something (such as seen in Get A Grip, where Oodle shows happiness towards the achievement of Bone finishing the challenge in record time), and he doesn't understand why everyone hates him.
Bone has a really big enjoyment for drawing, especially drawings of himself and other contestants being friends (as shown in Get A Grip) And, as of Sun Blocked, Team 3 (except Telescope, who still has a lot of resentment towards him) has started to warm up to Bone and accept his strides and efforts to improve himself, making Bone feel happy for finally being liked by his team, and finally be seen as a "friend".
Coverage[]
Animated Inanimate Battle[]
The Pilot[]
Bone is first seen walking up to the group, curious about what is happening. Album yells that it's none of his concern as the other contestants ridicule him. Later, when everyone is gathered, besides Bone, he says despite the Restraining Order, he's glad to be included, resulting in a can being thrown at him. When Oodle starts to awaken, Candle, Chip Bag, and Pear hide behind a bush. Bone joins them, but they almost immediately say no to him, saddening him. At the end of the episode, Oodle officially announces the start of Animated Inanimate Battle, but since Bone was away from the area, he looks up in confusion.
An Ice Beginning[]
When Oodle reveals that teams will be formed, Bone is seen holding a poster that says "Will Join Team 4 RESPECT", but no one pays mind to him, causing him to throw his poster down in anger. He is chosen for Team 3, surprising the others on the team members. Oodle is confused, but Bone reveals to him that no one likes him. Oodle is confused even more and asks why. Bone doesn't know either, and Oodle continues and he is put on Team 3, but he's not with the team because of the restraining order. During the challenge. Sock kicks Bouncy Ball at Bone, making him the very first contestant out of the challenge.
Smarter & Boulder[]
Bone is seen drawing away from the team. When Salami and Telescope walk up to him, he happily shows them the drawing of them, which they said sucked. They said everyone had to participate, which Bone excited by the thought of not being excluded. Salami reminds him about the restraining order, which is why they gave him the job of pushing air towards the boulder 20 feet away. He doesn't think it's scientifically accurate but complies anyway. When he overhears Salami and telescope chuckling over him being off their backs, he quietly mopes. Team 3 gets 4th and Bone follows behind the team sadly. At the end of the episode, he sadly draws himself with the team, hoping they'll one day accept him, when a glowing light appears behind the bush he was sitting by. He nervously looks behind the bush, and the episode ends.
Get a Grip[]
This episode, Bone was made the operator of Team 3's claw machine. Everyone immediately starts booing him and complaining. Bone wants to prove himself, but Mitten says there's no chance they'll ever like him. Red Eyes suddenly takes over and quickly gets the teammates out of the machine before quipping a "You're welcome." Bone then gets control back and stands there nervously. Later he's seen dancing when the team comes up to congratulate him. Bone gets excited but is interrupted by Telescope who wonders where their team prize is for getting first. Oodle gives Bone Cinnamon Bun but he passes the offer. He screams with the rest of the team when Cinnamon Bun is revealed to be sentient.
Fartists[]
During the challenge, he's seen drawing Glassy and Shot Put as they walk by. His team asks him to do the challenge due to him being artistic and no one else being art material. He gets help from the entity inside him and gets his team a 10/10 before Oodle docks 2 points due to none of the contestants themselves being used as art supplies. He apologizes but his team congratulates him regardless except for Telescope who walks away annoyed.
Sun Blocked[]
He is first shown positively commenting on Nine's new design. Nine says he's such a good friend when Telescope surprisingly questions their changed opinion on him and reminds them on how they have a restraining order against him. They brush it off and mention several helpful things that Bone has done for them, including saving Cinnamon Bun from a tree, cleaning Tea Bag's string and listening to Brick's conversation to name a few. Telescope is not convinced. During the challenge, Bone sneaks off and talks to Red Eyes via his reflection. He states his worries that Telescope is onto them and isn't sure on how long he can keep it up, but Red Eyes brushes it off and reminds Bone that he let them possess them. They then threaten him to keep quiet. Later, Telescope insists on getting the sun piece himself while Bone and the others stay behind. Bone tells him that Farty can fly, but he refuses to get near the sun piece because of it's heat that'll cause him to explode. Bone is then killed in the fart explosion. It is unknown if he is still possessed by Red Eyes following his recovery.
