Character Information
Character Name: Experiment 010 - Felix
Fandom: Lilo and Stitch
Character History:
Felix is the 10th genetic experiment created by evil genius scientist, Jumba Jookiba, and one of the few not created to be evil. As Experiment 010 he was programmed to keep Jumba's lab and home spotless, but a flaw in his programming meant that he couldn't differentiate between harmful germs and an unwashed Jumba. This eventually led to him being deactivated into pod form so that Jumba could reprogram him later, which he completely forgot to do.
Years later, during the events of Stitch! The Movie, Felix was released into the Earth's atmosphere along with 622 other experiments to keep them out of Dr. Hamsterviel's clutches. He was captured early during Lilo and Stitch: the Series by Gantu offscreen, but Gantu soon grew frustrated by his obsessive cleanliness and sent him to Hamsterviel. It didn't take that long for Hamsterviel to get fed up with him either and he sent 010 back to Gantu, who immediately threw him out to fend for himself.
While wandering the island, he came across a beach that had been ruined by waves and began to tidy up, seemingly oblivious to a fellow experiment trying to greet him. Just as he finished, he was caught in a basket by Stitch and accidentally made him mad by nailing him in the face with a can. After hiding him from Lilo's hula teacher, they took him home and Jumba explained his purpose, while Lilo decided to name him Felix because he was a neat freak. When Pleakley raised concerns about Felix being evil, Jumba also reassured them that while Felix hadn't been able to tell the difference between unwashed Jumba and germs the problem had been fixed so 010 was harmless...which it hadn't since he hadn't fixed him.
Quickly deciding that he did not belong at home, because there were too many neat freaks, Lilo took him to her hula school with the idea that he could be the janitor. Felix had approved of that idea and immediately gotten to work, but his attempt to dispose of a very old historical tapestry got Lilo in trouble because it was torn when she tried to stop him and had to take the blame...in contrast to the fact that she had earlier taken the credit for his cleaning up the beach.
They returned home with her being even less enthused to have him around than before, though he found a place in Pleakley's heart for his cleanliness and it was decided that he was staying with them. Everyone's frustration tanked when Felix threw out Lilo's seashell collection, Stitch's pineapple crate bed, and Jumba's petri-dishes containing cures for Earth viruses, but Pleakley didn't care until Felix also dumped his retro sewing machine in the trash. This was a plan to get Pleakley out of the house though, as Felix locked him out and then boarded up the house to keep Lilo, Stitch, and Jumba inside so he could antisepticize them because he's come to see them as germs.
After chasing them all over the house and trying to disintegrate them with his laser, he was led into Jumba's room and captured for reprogramming. He'll be arriving before the actual failed-reprogram happens.
Character Personality:
Felix is arguably one of the few experiments created by Jumba who is not actually evil. But this is entirely dependent on how one perceives his one big flaw. Overall, he's pretty easygoing in nature, usually very easily approachable and tolerant of others, to the point that being tossed out onto his face, stuffed into spaces, or just given away because he's considered obnoxious doesn't seem to bother him in the slightest. Actually he's pretty gentle, very easy to push around since he just doesn't seem to be assertive normally, and there's nothing he enjoys more than ensuring the place he's in is in proper order. His vocabulary is limited to the word "dirty" but he makes a small assortment of other noises or gestures in place of speech when he does try to communicate. Often he's just sort of there but given his creator and purpose, he's likely proficiently literate and understands many languages. He is exactly what he was created to be though: a neat freak. He was made to tidy all messes and antisepticize against all unhealthy germs and sources of filth.
Because of his programming, Felix has an extreme case of OCD when it comes to tidiness, to a point that some may find obnoxious. If he sees a mess he will clean it up or organize it no matter what it is. This includes people and animals, and nothing is considered sacred in his eyes. If it's junky or very dirty, he will throw it out without hesitation so it's best to keep anything of old age or sentimental/monetary value that can't be easily cleaned out of his reach. He doesn't understand that some things should be left be, or that he might be doing something wrong by getting rid of it...though he does understand that people do get upset when he throws their junk away. He also won't stop if he's started to get rid of it, so if something isn't forcefully retrieved it may be lost to his cleaning. This could be because he doesn't understand fully how important things are to others, being that he doesn't own anything, or it could just be the thought that if it's important then it shouldn't be dirty. The same goes for scientific things like bacteria samples. He is completely unable to ignore messes or disorder and will stop whatever he's doing to take care of them.
His biggest character flaw, the one that makes his alignment debatable, is a flaw in the logic for one of his functions: antisepticize against all unhealthy germs and sources of filth. In his logic, those who are either constantly messy without cleaning up, or who go long periods of time without washing are giant germs, which leads him to attempt to antisepticize them out of existence like any other germs. Once he identifies someone this way, he will try without hesitation to follow through with his programming. But his single-mindedness isn't impulsive. He will wait until he can remove outside interference, such as luring away cleanly beings who would be in the way, and cut off his target(s) in one area before making his move. Then he pursues almost relentlessly, but can be temporarily sidetracked by his OCD. This is why the line for him is blurred. He's perfectly willing to destroy anyone who falls into the category above, and it's premeditated when it comes to higher lifeforms, but the root is a flaw in his programming that is fixable given someone knows how to reprogram an alien. He wouldn't call it murder because he doesn't value anything as higher lifeforms, not even his creator, and because you can't murder germs.
It's worth noting that while he doesn't know how to value lives, he's not arrogant or aggressive to other creatures until he identifies them as filthy. He doesn't even really give an indication that he sees them as such until he's trying to sanitize them. He doesn't get angry when he's prevented from or interrupted in his cleaning, though he does get very confused at why he's being stopped, and he wouldn't hurt someone just for being in the way. While he was show to be hostile to a fly because it was dirty, and he appeared slightly menacing when he first turned on Lilo, Stitch, and Jumba, he actually pursued them with the same amount of cheerful diligence that he normally has while cleaning, not even getting annoyed that he had to chase them. And as said earlier, he doesn't seem to care what others think of him or how they treat him. He always has this kind of pleasant and mellow kind of demeanor to him and often has a content smile. Cleanliness is his happiness.
Aside from lack of consideration, he is otherwise completely harmless and his personality is undefined. This means that his development could be heavily influenced by the type of people that he hangs around when his programming isn't the focus. He gets along best with tidy people, predictably, but he doesn't dislike people of average levels of cleanliness as shown in the anime when he appears. Keeping him away from slobs, or at least their "natural environment," is probably the best way to avoid him trying to clean them up.
Powers and Abilities:
Predictably, all of Felix's abilities are based on his purpose. He has increased physical strength, potentially more than Stitch, being able to lift couches or replant fallen palm trees and easily throw open a door that Stitch is holding closed. He can spin like a twister to pick up and straighten several things at once, or just clean through an area faster. The brush-like tail is an effective broom which he uses with extreme efficiency. His trunk works like a strong vacuum that's able to suck up most anything no matter how ground-in it is and has a system of brushes and disinfectants, while his stomach digest-processes anything he sucks up before he disposes of it. His stomach is also capable of holding huge amounts of stuff without visibly expanding. His aim when firing things into the garbage is almost flawless, and his trunk can expand to take in things at least as big as a public garbage can and possibly the size of a large mailbox. He can also fire disintegrating laser beams from his trunk. It also works as just a nose of course.
When later reprogrammed into Oscar, his main ability is to somehow release huge messes through his trunk, enough to cover the inside of an entire house in a noticeable coat of grime and garbage. This suggests that either not everything he sucks up as Felix ends up in the garbage, or that he somehow generates the dust, grime, and general trash himself. Oscar is also not hung up on dirt as a neat freak, but instead likes to make clean places very dirty. He is less potentially dangerous than Felix though.
Like all of his "cousins" Felix can be completely dehydrated and returned to pod form, at which point he would be dormant and unaware of his surroundings. Returning his to normal is as simple as getting him wet with any kind of liquid.

[The video starts with Felix's cheerfully smiling face and the background bouncing behind him as he hops over to put the communicator down. He steps back after he's positioned it to his liking and it becomes clear that he's in one of the school's classrooms that could use some cleaning. And that's just what the next five minutes is, Felix making the room sparkly, spotless, and perfectly organized before returning to the camera with a happy-sounding churring noise and his brush-tail wagging cheerfully. Looks like he's decided what he wants to contribute as a Wakened and the easiest way to communicate that was by just showing.
If no one comes to him with a problem with this then he'd like to stay here as janitor.]
Third Person:
The schoolyard was full of fallen leaves, where the seasons changing had caused the trees to shed them all. It was natural, and he could understand that even if he didn't always like what nature brought. What Felix didn't get was why nothing had been done about them yet. They could have been raked or turned to mulch for other plants, but they just littered the ground and that was all. It was untidy and that just wouldn't do. To deal with it, he wandered up and down the paths, using his trunk as a blower and his tail to finish brushing the leaves from the sidewalks. He worked by area, gathering the leaves in bunches and then putting them in the trashcans around the school. Mulch was of little use to anything in the winter, so it made more sense to just trash the leaves now in this case. Of course, it wasn't only the leaves that he was focused on. He was also picking up any litter he found on the ground or on the benches, leaving any area he passed through looking as though it had never been untidy at all. There was never any sense in just partly cleaning an area.
He didn't stop until he was satisfied nothing had been missed, only then turning his attention to the problem of finding a place to stay within the school. He could stay anywhere apparently, but he wanted to stay in this building because it would need a lot of cleaning regularly. He wasn't really looking for anyone to stay with either, because he really didn't much need anyone. It was just him now and chances were pretty good that even if it wasn't he'd have been on his own in just a minute anyway. It was always that way, because other people either deactivated him or threw him out. It was no big deal to him because there was always somewhere that needed cleaning, so there would always be someplace for him to go.
He had picked the school because it had needed a good cleaning, and seeing how everything sparkled was enough to widen his smile and make the experiment purr and wag his tail in satisfaction. It was perfect for when everyone came back to it...bringing dirt and germs they were certain to pick up along the way into the nice clean building. That was a sobering thought and Felix actually frowned a little, looking around as though there might have already been germs creeping up on the building. But that was why he was here, to pick up those unavoidable messes. There wasn't a way for him to completely get rid of all germs forever, so he just had to keep on the messes and he did enjoy the cleaning, so it would be fine. No bad germs would move in on this place while he was around. That knowledge was enough to perk him up again and he bounced over to the door and let himself in. He had worked hard and it was late, so now he could find a quiet place to curl up and get some sleep.
