why the hell is he named bubblegum

??/ 5'7 / male, probably...

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil. Life must give us pause. There's the respect that makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of time without being thus marked?
And Bubblegum most certainly has been marked by time, which is why he covers his face with a simple, expressionless mask. Why he wears his hood up at all times, throwing shade on the white mask, thus making the expressionless guise look somewhat sinister. And it is why he covers his now skeletal hands with gloves so that the bare bones don't show. His true appearance remains a mystery, his age as well. But if he has truly withered away to be nothing but bones or if the face that he hides is that of a young man (or woman for that matter) is not something he wishes to relay.
A faint smell of pine and old fruit dissipates from his surprisingly modern clothes, which for the record consist of a black hoodie and a pair of pinstriped pants.
His voice is hollow and muffled by the mask, occasionally he makes clicking sounds when he's silent which makes it rather unsettling for one to stand next to him for long periods of time.
He's eloquent, preferring to speak in quotes from dramatic monologues instead of making his own words, and when confronted by modern slang he appears dumbfounded.
Just what kind of being he is might never be certain, but it is a very old one with little respect for life and death, and an unsettling fondness for rock paper scissors.
