I haven't been... listening to my heart. Instead, I've been listening to... this... well... It was a voice in my head! And it would tell me how to... go further. Further than I was willing to go. I heard it so often that I never... I never heard myself. So... what's the point?

Microphone, labeled The Loud and Proud, is a female contestant on Inanimate Insanity II. She was placed with The Grand Slams. She placed 6th overall, quitting the show on her own terms in "Hatching the Plan". She is currently voiced by Hailey Chapman.

Appearance[]

Microphone is a dark grey wireless microphone. A button is on her chest, while she has a light grey collar around her "head". Another collar appears near her flat bottom area. She also has a "Gain" toggle on her back.

Personality[]

At the start of the season, Microphone began as one of the most level-headed newbies. She is upbeat, kind and especially open to meeting others. Mic's energetic temperament makes her a determined and competitive contestant who aims to do her best in challenges. However, most of Mic's positive attributes involve her voice getting irritatingly loud, which can annoy others easily. This causes some to view her more as an annoyance than a good ally. Despite this, Microphone initially is proud and holds herself in high regard.

Microphone is generally outspoken and honest about her opinions, noting that Soap's pizza looked unappetizing in "Cooking for the Grater Good" and affronting Dough in "A Kick in the Right Direction". She also appears to be easily irritated by others who disrespect or mock her, most particularly Cheesy (until Cheesy got eliminated) and often dismisses others' criticisms. Microphone's honesty can make her impulsive and lose control of her actions, often causing her to mess up in contests or offend others. However, she is working on how to control herself, and her temper.

In "Theft and Battery", it is revealed that Microphone keeps a secret diary where she writes her personal thoughts, in which, nobody else is supposed to know about. In her passages, Microphone becomes self-critical and writes about her bad traits, particularly losing challenges and irritating others. After Taco learns of Mic's strife in "Rain On Your Charade", she offers her a deal to help in challenges and lead her on a more definitive yet fraudulent path to victory. Microphone is reluctant at first but agrees to secretly align with Taco.

Microphone begins to warily obey Taco's mischievous plans for victory, such as using her gain to get Taco to help her out of the maze in "Mazed and Confused". Microphone suddenly realizes Taco wants to cause trouble to others, and disagrees with Taco's idea of paralysing Balloon, thinking it's wrong in "Kick the Bucket" and vouches for alternative means of mental manipulation.

Their partnership continues up until "Hatching the Plan" where Microphone has had enough of Taco's recklessness. After rescuing Fan, Mic realizes that Taco's just using her to get recognition and asks her if she said the same thing to Pickle, asking Taco if she also manipulated him into doing reprehensible actions to win in an accusatory tone. After this, Microphone mutes her gain to never listen to Taco ever again. During the elimination, Microphone voluntarily quits the show, stating that there was a Voice In Her Head pushing her to go further than Mic was originally willing to go. She concludes by stating that the choices she made weren't exactly the best, and that having herself be out of the show would be the first good choice she'd made. Before heading through the portal, she warns Knife that Taco is still out there, and advises Knife to watch himself.

Official Site Bio[]

Microphone is a very outgoing and friendly contestant who just wants to have a good time. Unfortunately, she seems to not be able to keep her volume under control, causing her to be rather loud around other people. This can irritate people very easily and helps and hurts her in many situations.

Microphone is determined to make her full potential audible to others. If she ever encounters a problem, Mic is sure to address the situation head-on and speak (or shout) her mind. As a result, she is easily misunderstood and usually has problems hiding her secrets... which she recently has plenty of. Although Microphone began this competition loud and proud, she has lost sight of her initial strengths and has resorted to alternative means of winning.

Abilities[]

Microphone is known for her unique abilities, such as:

  • Voice Amplification: Microphone can slightly amplify the volume of her voice. This can sometimes be strong enough to cause pain to others.
    • Sound Waves: With high amplification, Microphone can produce sound waves that are powerful enough to move things. She may use this to her advantage. For example, she used this ability to get a ball to hit the target in "Kick the Bucket".
  • Enhanced Hearing: Using the gain knob on her back, Microphone can hear noises that come from afar. This is first shown at the end of "Everything's A-OJ", but is most famously used in "Mazed and Confused" for Taco to navigate Microphone out of the maze.

Weaknesses[]

  • Water: In Breaking The Ice, Microphone splits the ice into two parts and falls into the water, creating electric shocks.
