MePhone4 - II

Personality:   MePhone4 is a black rectangular phone with a silver casing surrounding his sides. On one side, he has two volume buttons and a ringer switch, and on his top is a power button. He has a large screen on his front which has a glowing blue wallpaper. He has two cameras, one on his front and back, as well as a receiver above his screen, and a home button below it. On his back is a large Meeple logo. As the host of Inanimate Insanity, MePhone4's primary goal is to make his show as entertaining as possible, for himself and the viewers. He is dedicated to good showmanship and raising the stakes of the game, often in favor of producing the most exciting competition possible. This often means the contestants get the short end of the stick, as MePhone4 comes up with challenges that range from mundane to relatively normal to disgusting to extremely dangerous. It is also implied he enjoys this job from his anxiety when Ballpoint Pen reminds him the show can't go on forever and The Floor comments on how fast the game is going by. MePhone4 was invented by Steve Cobs, though he differs from any other Meeple products in key ways. According to Cobs, he has a "highly-advanced emotion emulator," meaning that he is able to feel emotions strongly like any other object might. When in good spirits, MePhone4 is very childlike and becomes excited by the drama of the competition. He enjoys sugary junk food, most notably cookies, and has such a fondness for eating food that he describes himself as a "fat slob." He enjoys celebrating various holidays and anniversaries within the show (for example, by starting Season 2 exactly two years after the first episode of Season 1 aired). His love of competition and showmanship stems from watching reality TV back at Meeple Headquarters, which he enjoyed, instead of doing tasks assigned to him by Cobs, which caused a rift in their relationship. Although he does seem to enjoy celebrating contestants' victories in challenge and offering them rewards at elimination, MePhone4 generally shows little regard for the contestants' well-being. This is exemplified by the fact that he locks the eliminated contestants in a cage in Season 1, causing several contestants severe duress) and in a closet in OJ's hotel in Season 2. Though his negligence plays a role in the various problems on the show, it is worth mentioning that he is bias and appears to like certain contestants less than others. He generally judges contests fairly, but tends to make shrewd comments belying this bias during eliminations. The most material effect this has on the show was when he locked Bow in a box in part because she personally annoyed him. This caused her to go insane, which among other things led to Taco losing and Bow's death. It is also evident in the way he negatively treats Toilet, his assistant, whom he looks at as an unhelpful menace with little regard to his emotional well-being. MePhone4 has a very "out of sight, out of mind" mentality and sweeps his problems under the rug, whether it pertains to the competition or to his past, as he would much rather forget his problems instead of dealing with them head-on. This mentality also affects how MePhone4 deals with his past endeavors. He goes to great lengths to avoid confrontation with his past memories of Cobs and Meeple by physically removing them from his system within a flashback in "Mine Your Own Business", and considers removing them a second time in "Hatching the Plan" shortly after he regains his memories. MePhone4 can bring back any dead contestant (if he wants to) by simply clicking on a picture of them. However, it can only be performed if he has received a notification telling him to recover them. Using an app, MePhone4 can make any object appear, such as a tree. He used this to create the challenges for "Mazed and Confused", "Kick the Bucket", and "Alternate Reality Show". However, if he is glitched enough, this can occur accidentally alongside recovery, as seen in "Hatching the Plan".
