Character Name: Mac (no last name revealed in canon...you guys can give him one) Character Series: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends Character Age: 8 Background: I can't find a wiki link that I like, so I will tackle this section myself! Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends takes place in a world where it's the norm for kids to think up real, physical, sentient imaginary friends. But just like in our world, and despite having imaginary friends that are just as intelligent as they are and become a part of their families, kids eventually outgrow their imaginary friends. When that happens, imaginary friends are left to tough it out on the streets...or they would be if it weren't for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends! This gigantic foster home, run by an eccentric old lady who never gave up her imaginary friend, provides a home for imaginary friends whose creators have outgrown them while also making an effort to get them adopted by new kids.
This home is where the bulk of the show takes place. In the first episode we meet Mac, and eight-year-old boy whose mother has laid down an ultimatum: get rid of his five-year-old imaginary friend, Bloo, or else. Mac and Bloo are best friends and don't want to leave each other...fortunately, Bloo sees an ad for Foster's on the television and, through a series of shenanigans, their problems are solved. They strike up a deal with Madame Foster that stipulates that as long as Mac visits the home every day, Bloo will never be up for adoption and can remain his imaginary friend.
In essence, the show is about Mac, Bloo, and their friends at Foster's having various adventures from day to day.
Personality: Mac is a bright, creative kid, level-headed and good at problem-solving. Many episodes revolve around him devising plans to help his friends out of dilemmas.
Mac seems to be pretty mature for his age; at times he almost acts like a parent, particularly where Bloo is concerned. Mac often scolds Bloo for getting into things or doing things he knows are against the rules. He is also quick to comfort anyone he sees in distress, especially those that are younger than him (or act younger than he does, as some of the imaginary friends do).
Mac lives in a single parent househould, his immediate family members being his mother and older brother. His mom works long hours and generally isn't home until dinnertime; his older brother is a thirteen-year-old terror who doesn't even know the meaning of the word responsibility. Mac is often bullied by his brother when they're at home alone. This situation possibly explains some of Mac's maturity, since his brother certainly doesn't step up to help out around the house and someone has to keep it clean when their mom isn't around.
On that note, Mac doesn't show any special aversion to doing chores or schoolwork. In fact, he tends to have an attitude of "the sooner I do this, the sooner I can have fun" and often helps out with chores at Foster's. In several episodes he can be seen doing such chores around Foster's as scrubbing floors, sweeping, helping out in the kitchen, and working in the yard. In one episode in particular he does quite a bit of paperwork at Foster's so that Frankie, the proprietor's granddaughter, can have a night of fun on the town--when she questions whether or not Mac can handle it, he explains with a shrug that he files tax returns for his mother so he's comfortable with it. In another episode the house manager, Mr. Harriman, leaves Mac with the responsibility of filling out adoption paperwork without supervision.
Mac thinks that following the rules is important, and seems to have a minor fear of getting in trouble/being scolded by adults. On the flip side of this, if he encounters a rule that he thinks is unfair he's likely to rebel against it. There are some episodes in which he discovers rules of the house and protests against them, usually with ridiculous results such as unleashing a horde of sentient scribbles on the house...
Despite his many instances of responsibility, maturity, and outright coolness, Mac can also be a typical kid. At times his thinking can be selfish--for example, he tries to sabotage an adoption day at the home because he doesn't want his friends to be adopted and never see them again, even though they want to be adopted--and he also gets into his fair share of trouble. He'll scold Bloo for making fun of other imaginary friends but has no issues mocking his older brother, for instance, and he also enjoys such activities as rolling around in the mud, playing pranks on others, and occasionally doing something crazy like breaking things.
Mac can also get pretty jealous sometimes. This usually comes out when Bloo decides he suddenly has another best friend, and can occasionally be the case when Frankie or one of his other close imaginary friends is too distracted to spend time with him. Mac gets frustrated when he's jealous, and will often try to sabotage whoever it is that he feels is ruining his friendship or his fun. Though it should be noted that in many cases he will try to be nice and just insert himself into the activities he's being left out of before getting frustrated.
On the whole, though, Mac is a very loyal friend who typically shows more maturity than the average eight year old. He has a large range of hobbies and activities he enjoys--everything from playing videogames and watching TV to playing ball, playing pretend, playing board games...basically, he loves doing things that kids love to do. He even has some mechanical skill, which he uses to further hobbies such as soapbox derby racing (he and Bloo build their own racer, just for fun).
Abilities: Mac is extremely sensitive to sugar, and upon consuming it he wigs out and basically turns into a little demon child. He isn't really any stronger or faster in this state than he normally is, it just seems that way because he becomes so hyperactive, often attacking other people to try and force them to give him more sugar to keep his high going. These sugar-induced fits usually end in Mac going into withdrawal, eventually passing out, and presumably waking up with one hell of a hangover.
