Paper (II)

Paper was a friendly, innocent contestant. This is most clearly seen when he hangs out with Knife and watches Desperate Housewives instead of doing the challenge in A Lemony Lesson. However, his trusting nature made him an easy target for Knife's bullying, so he was eliminated first as Knife aggressively shoved him off the metal platform and threw things at him until he fell into the water. Due to being the first out, it was clear that his stay on Idiotic Island affected his mental health greatly. In addition to exacerbating his anger issues, he also split an alter. This alter, Evil Paper, tended to be violent and murderous, such as when he killed OJ in Aquatic Conflict. Paper expressed remorse for many of Evil Paper's actions, confused by why they were happening and believing they were his fault. Later, with OJ's help, Paper figured out that he was triggered by the words "Idiotic Island" and strove to fix his mental health problem. Paper is somewhat self-centered and attention-seeking. A notable instance of this was in The Tile Divide, when he was ranting about possibly getting eliminated while drinking orange juice, not noticing OJ's sickness from the lack of it. This was out of obliviousness though, not malice, and he apologized and pledged his allegiance to OJ later on. He also let him win the immunity to drive in that he was genuine about his apology. Another example of his attention-seeking tendencies is in Double Digit Desert, where he dramatically told OJ to go on without him when he got stuck to a cactus, then got upset when OJ didn't save him. Although he is not much of a leader, Paper seems to be both responsible and good at expressing himself. He is responsible enough to stand in for OJ at the complaints desk in the first issue of Inanimate Comics, and is well-spoken enough to represent OJ as his attorney in Everything's A-OJ. Paper also takes charge of Hotel OJ while OJ is away for Inanimate Insanity Invitational, though he is eventually overthrown by Salt and Pepper. Paper has been shown to be quite physically strong, being able to hang onto a wet metal pole in A Lemony Lesson, having the capability to beat up and tear Pickle in half (Evil Paper was the one who did this, but the strength is still possible for Paper, as it's from their shared body), and throw a grand piano at Evil Paper. OJ as stands for Orange Juice is one of papers friends
