Hey reader, how's it going? My name's Ampersand. I may be an ordinary boy, but I'm the coolest one in the bunch! I'm also the oldest.
Appearance
I've got black messy hair, a white T-shirt with an ampersand (&) printed on it, black shorts and white shoes.
Personality
I'm an easy-going, silly, casual Charlietownish boy. I'm not sadistic, but I act very reasonably with my friends most of the time. I also seem to care for them. However, on occasions I can be a bit rude towards people. Apart from this, my more passive side can result in me being pushed around by others when I mess up. I can also be cryptic at times, and also more empathetic. I also value my relations too, and while I have a generally compassionate and caring nature, my emotional vulnerability can become a weakness when quick thinking and leadership are both required.
Lore
Birth
Let's start things very simple. Firstly, let me tell you that my birthday's January 1st - New Year's - therefore I'm a Capricorn (g).
Meeting Charlie and Charlotte
So, how did my friendship with the two siblings begin? Well, it started when I saw the pair sitting on a bench. I asked them:
- Ampersand: Hey, you two, Is there any room for me to sit with you?
- Charlie: Sure, we've got room for you.
- Charlotte: You can sit in the middle.
- Ampersand: Thanks guys. Anyway, I'm Ampersand, and what about you two?
- Charlie: I'm Charlie.
- Charlotte: And I'm Charlotte.
As we got to know each other, our friendship was well and truly underway.
Meeting Pixie
My friendship with Pixie began when she was walking by herself in the park one day, when suddenly...
CRASH!
I collided with Pixie and we both hit the ground. Then I got up to my feet and said:
- Ampersand: Oops, sorry, little girl.
- Pixie: No, I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going.
- Ampersand: But I wasn't looking where I was going. Sorry.
Then I helped Pixie up to her feet. After this moment we both went out together, going to lots of places around town, and that's how our friendship began.
Meeting Mushy
I was relaxing in my room one day when a paper plane decorated with mushrooms flew through my open window. I unfolded it and it had a message in it, which read:
To whom it may concern,
I know we haven't met before, so I thought we should hang out by the lockers tomorrow afternoon.
See you there,
Mushy
So, the next day after school, we both met at the lockers. At that point, our friendship had finally started.
Present Day
I've continued to be friends with the kids, and the oldest out of any of them. You won't believe what we'll all be doing next!
Abilities
Strengths
- Nigh-Omnipotence: I've always had this. It's made me so powerful that I'm able to do any of these:
- Ultimate-level reality-warping: I'm a superhuman, being able to control most of reality. Basically doing anything I want.
- Telekinesis: I can move anything around to my will.
- Flight: I can fly! Just like Charlie and Charlotte! How cool is that?
- Heat resistance: I can survive any heat with no visible scars.
- Space survival: I can manage to survive lots of years in space, even walking in it. Cool!
- Teleportation: I can teleport. Not just myself, but others too.
- Force field generation: I can make a force field so that anyone who tries to get out of the force field won't be able to.
- Plant life creation: I care about nature! If there's any destroyed plants, I can restore them to where they were before. I can also change the colours to my liking.
- Jump-boost: I'm able to jump to somewhere high with ease.
- Consumption of inedible objects: I can eat anything inedible without throwing up, but I'm only able to do it in secret.
- Recovery: I can recover any of my friends if they're dead. Sometimes if I can't do it with my powers, I can use a Hand-Powered Recovery Center.
- Malleability: With this power I can extend my limbs to as long as they can go.
- Intangibility: I have the power to phase through solids. Ghosts eat your heart out!
- Extreme durability: I can avoid anything extreme like getting crushed by something big like an anvil or a weight.
- Transmutation: This one allows me to transform anything into something different.
- Super-strength: Bring me to a carnival and I'll beat you at a game of 'Test Your Strength' because I'm super strong!
- Size manipulation: I can shrink or grow anything with this power. If something's too small for me I can make it bigger. Works every time!
- Water-walking: Bli cabln drblowbln blin thble blwabltbler. Actually, I can't! Ha ha! I can float instead, just like a pool inflatable.
- Creation: I can make stuff out of thin air, just with one single snap of my fingers.
- Super hearing: Dogs have super hearing. Me? I do too! That's why I can hear anything from far away (e.g. one of my friends shouting to me from very far away).
- Transformation: I can transform into anything, for example, a drawing on a whiteboard.
- Entering different dimensions: No complications for me to travel from one dimension to another. Like the whiteboard I was on about before.
- Magma manipulation: I can morph lava into anything.
- Trans-lens creation: I can create portal-like mirrors that can reveal sight from other locations.
- Dream manipulation: With this, certain dreams can be forced on others, or objects can be placed into others' dreams, all by my own power.
- Limb reposition: I can only do this if I have fallen victim to a zombie infection, but it allows me to move my limbs around, like legs on my head for example.
- Sentience creation: I can snap my fingers and out of thin air comes a living being.
- Power absorption: Absorbing other people's powers? Yeah, I can do that!
- Space manipulation: Manipulating most aspects of space itself is easy. I've studied gravity for years and years.
- Self-duplication: Yup. It's simple. I can duplicate myself. Easy as pie.
- Matter manipulation: I can pick something up and change it into another.
- Zapping: ZAP ZAP ZAP! I can emit large black beams of electricity from my hands. With enough power, this can be fatal.
- Mutilation: I can mutilate anything into an abstract shape.
- Distortion: I'm able to distort anything before turning it into a puddle of liquid. I showed this when I accidentally morphed Charlotte into multiple strange forms before she fell down as a strange liquid.
- Fire manipulation: I'm able to manipulate fire. I showed this when I accidentally set Charlotte on fire.
- Ice manipulation: I'm able to manipulate fire. I showed this when I accidentally froze Charlotte. Alright, I think that's enough. Let's move on.
- Resistance to zombie impulses: Most zombies can attack you and turn you into one too. For me, I don't do that, even though I still behave erratically as a zombie.
- Cloud manipulation: Like looking at clouds? I do too, especially when I'm able to turn one into what I want it to be, or make a cloud of my face or other people's faces.
- Summoning: I can summon any living being under my will. Like insects.
- Planet manipulation: It just takes one snap for me to move two planets apart. For example, moving the CK2009 universe and Earth apart.
- Gravity manipulation: I can shift gravity, which can even affect upside down places.
- Time manipulation: I'm not sure how I got this ability, but it kinda works.
Weaknesses
- Slow reaction time: Even though my power's unlimited, I seem to have a lack of attention to my surroundings.
- Infection: One time, I fell victim to a zombie infection.
- Forgetfulness: I forget my powers sometimes.
- Timeline changes: On January 1st 2025, I was erased from existence, but hours later, I was brought back, despite me not knowing about this.
- Emotions: After the events of January 1st 2025, I fell in a depressed state for most of the year until December 13th when I had fully recovered. During that time, I had to stay in my bed and not move after I had forgotten about my friends when I was erased from existence.
- Avoidance: I've been shown to avoid serious situations or distract myself from them numerous times. This could result in these situations worsening unintentionally.
- Isolation: I had been isolated for most of 2025.
- Identity: Sometimes I seem to have identity issues.
- Lava & extreme heat: One time when I was at the top of a volcano, I found myself incapitated in lava. I screamed and sobbed and begged for help multiple times. After escaping the lava, I had part of my skin completely burnt. Another time was when I touched an orange liquid, but burnt my finger because I did not realise the liquid was actually lava.
- Erasure (only in drawing form): When I was in my drawing form and someone was erasing the whiteboard, I was screaming "NOOOOOO!" implying I would be dead if I was erased from the whiteboard.

Trivia
- Me and Pixie both sometimes speak in different accents.
- But for me, I have different dialects. For accents other than my British accents, my collective plural nouns are often said as singular ones, for example:
- "Our team needs (instead of need) to liven up a bit!"
- "I hear McDonald's wants (instead of want) us to betray our favourite McDonald's food for a McCrispy."
- My favourite TV idents are the 1991-2001 and 2014-2018 BBC Two idents. They're pretty adorable and silly. I even giggled at the "Predator" ident when the butterfly two got swallowed by the fly trap two!
- Math is the worst subject I’ve ever studied at school.
- My phone’s ringtone is bass 8ths sample by Paul "beatloaf" Joyce (which many of you will recognise as the theme song for BFDI), and you can listen to it here.
- I might be neurodivergent.
