Personality:
Apple Kid is a nice enough fellow, but he oftentimes seems utterly clueless as to interpersonal relations. For example. He genuinely likes those nice people who helped fund his research and gave him that can of juice/salt packet/whatever crappy food item you actually gave him. He just has no idea how to translate this friendliness into anything except the creation of off the wall, bizarre inventions for said people. This is the Apple Kid's main way of making relations – in giving things to people.

He is utterly clueless about what he should and shouldn't say. He's forward, so very forward. And truthful. If you ask him "do you like this?" he will tell you exactly why that's nice or why it's a horrible, awful thing. This works for himself, too – if he thinks something is wonderful about an invention, he'll get all excited and want to tell you all about it. He'll also outright tell you that he's smelly. He will state the obvious, even when the obvious doesn't need stating.

He would be utterly incapable of deception. Any lies he told would be the most transparent, least believable lies in the entire world. "What, no I'm not hungry at all, I just, I ate 17 hamburgers and then had an entire turkey, I'm not hungry and also I'm on a diet and I'm a vegan now."

He's a mechanical genius. Perhaps he's a bit of an idiot savant – that would explain his inability to know what to say and what not to say. Suffice to say, leave this kid in a room with tools and odds and ends and something will come out of it. God knows what, he makes the most bizarre things in the entire world. Useful things, but bizarre. He tackles problems you didn't know you had, via methods you might not have thought of. Off. The. Wall.

He's the Apple Kid. Accept no substitutes.

Backstory:
A few years back, in the town of Twoson, there lived a crazy shopping lady and a new age retro hippy nice couple who gave birth to a chubby little baby boy whom they promptly named "Apple" because his cheeks were as round and red as the fruit. Apple had a fairly normal life for the average Twosonite – he went to the Polestar Preschool, saw shows at the Chaos Theater, rode the escalators at the department store up and down constantly, normal things. But there was always something a bit odd about him – He'd take the blocks and toys at preschool and construct elaborate, rube-goldberg machines. When with other kids at the theater, he'd say odd, off the wall things that made him the butt of jokes. He rode the escalators so much they had to kick him out of the department store. He was always shy, and whenever he opened his mouth he just got worse and worse reactions from the other kids.

And then when he was 10, his parents moved to the hippy commune of Happy Happy Valley, and never came back. His parents waltzed into the house, and they both seemed a little funny – there were mushrooms growing out of the tops of their heads. They said they were moving to Happy Happy Valley to "like, totally run the food stand, man." They didn't take him along, they just left him. He thought they'd be back. That was 4 years ago.

So, he had to take care of himself (Eagleland has a terrible Department of Family Services , it's probably run by a cup of hot coffee). And, well, he was lazy and didn’t like cleaning. And, left to himself, he overate. And so the quiet boy who got picked on for saying odd things turned into the quiet, fat boy who said odd things and didn't know how to do the laundry.

Eventually he read a book about overcoming shyness called "Overcoming Shyness." The summary of this book can be summed up as such – "who gives a damn about what you do just talk to people." He took that to heart. It didn't endear him to anybody, but he did at least stop caring about what people throught about his eccentrics. At some point people stopped calling him Apple and started calling him Apple Kid.

He lived next door to another child inventor (God only knows how that one happened) who was much more attractive and girls thought he was dreamy. But Apple Kid didn't care. He kept making his absurd inventions and not picking up the living room, and making best friends with a mouse. And then a nice boy in a stripy shirt came by and not only gave him $200 to fund inventions, but he also gave him some food when he asked! This boy was amazingly nice! And so Apple Kid decided he wanted to give something back to this strange, silent young boy. So he invented his socks off for him and his other friends – a one-way telephone, an eraser eraser, a machine that made trout flavored yogurt, the list goes on and on. Eventually the Apple Kid, while working with Dr. Andonuts was kidnapped by EVIL STARMEN and was held captive until Ness and crew rescued his ass off of a space ship and a giant tube of fluid (ew). The Apple Kid repaid them by helping create the PHASE DISTORTER and the PHASE DISTORTER II which are amazing and everyone should get one.

Ness and friends eventually returned after defeating Giygas, and the World Was Safe.

But the Apple Kid got a little lonely. All of his friends, really the only people anywhere near his age that had treated him nicely in years, were gone. He had nobody to invent for anymore. Finally he found out from Dr. Andonuts where his son and his friends had gone off to, so the Apple Kid set off for Sumabura Gakuen.

Canon Information:
Apple Kid was an inventor who lived in Twoson.  He was messy and smelly and nobody liked him but he was actually a very good inventor.  He would frequently send the main character, Ness, his inventions.  And he always invented something that was 1. Highly needed, and 2. Offbeat.  He made bizzare plot devices, basically.  Eventually he joined Dr. Andounts to help him with his inventions and was kidnapped, along with Dr. Andonuts, and other NPCs.  After his rescue, he joined Dr. Andonuts and the Mr. Saturns in inventing the Phase Distorter I (stolen) and II (not stolen) which allowed the main characters to travel to where the endboss lived.  Good times.

Other Information:

• The Apple Kid has a much better relationship with Jeff's dad than Jeff does. In fact, he knows a lot of really embarrassing stories about Jeff as a toddler. He will happily tell these to anyone.
   
• The Apple Kid seems gifted with the ability to make plot devices. But only insane, absurd plot devices. "We need lazar gun to defeat the ultimate evil!" "Gosh, I don't have one of those, but I do have this machine that turns cookies into donuts." And guess what? You need that. Almost anything made by him will be absurd or nonsensical. If you ask him to solve a problem for you he will – but it will not be solving the problem via any method you'd probably consider.
   
• He's probably hungry.
   
• He has a pet mouse! It has no name. It's the No Name Mouse. It's his assistant in the lab and is generally more responsible than he is. Not a very ringing endorsement of the Apple Kid, is it?
   
• The boy attracts messes and dirt. It's not that he doesn't usually bathe regularly (note: usually, sometimes in a fit of inventing he'll forget). He's just seems to attract every possible grease spot and bit of dirt in the room to come find a place on his person.

Character Secrets: 

I don't think Apple Kid has any secrets - if he did he would blab them.
