The New Kid

The New Kid, also known as "Douchebag", or "Butthole", is the main playable protagonist in South Park: The Stick of Truth and South Park: The Fractured But Whole, as well as South Park: Phone Destroyer. They are not a featured character on South Park, and are only shown in the games. Their only voiced line is spoken at the end of South Park: The Stick of Truth when they say, "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

Their real name is revealed by the Big Bad Government Guy to be Dovahkiin, but the only time they are addressed to by that name is when the Big Bad Government Guy starts exposing information about The New Kid. Their appearance is entirely decided by the player; all images below are example appearances.

Concept and Creation
Trey Parker has claimed to like silent heroes most, inspiring him to make The New Kid a voiceless/mute protagonist (until the end of the game).

History
At first, not much is actually known about "The New Kid", except for the fact that their parents moved away with him from their previous home to South Park. It is hinted in the game that something may have happened in their previous home. New Kid's parents say that it is good he doesn't remember. In the last part of The Stick of Truth, the Big Bad Government Guy tells Cartman and the others that New Kid's real name is Dovahkiin, and he starts talking about a UFO which crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. His government agency was formed in order to investigate the paranormal, and have never lost a fight until four years back when investigating a child who had an unnatural power inside of them. The agency attempted to secure the child so that they could harness the powers, but the child slipped through their hands. Cartman and the rest of the group assume that the Big Bad Government Guy is talking about New Kid's farts, but he is actually talking about their ability to make friends quickly on any social network. It is revealed that The New Kid had 3.2 billion friends on Facebook alone, before he turned 5.

Criminal Record
The New Kid does not actually commit many crimes in the game. They commit fewer when compared to other characters. Usually the action is necessary to carry out because it is related to one of his quests.

Breaking and Entering: When New Kid receives the quest to bust Craig out of detention from Cartman, they enter the school's premises and gets into fights with the hall monitors in order to complete this task. In the end, they successfully bust Craig out from detention. Also, in order to deliver a message to Token, New Kid has to beat up a security guard and break through a security gate, after getting pepper sprayed by deciding to wear a gas mask in order to prevent the pepper spray's effects.

Underage Smoking/Drug Abuse: In order to recruit the Goth Kids, New Kid has to prove that they're a non-conformist. They establishes this by dressing up like a goth, smoking cigarettes, and drinking coffee.

Disturbing the Peace: The goths easily persuade New Kid to prove that they are a non-conformist by taping a sign to the table in the community center saying 'Fuck the Conformists', whilst a big PTA meeting is taking place, and then taking a picture of the sign taped to the table as a source of proof (though due to the actions of Randy Marsh, they don't actually show it during the PTA meeting).

Unlicensed Surgery and Impersonating a Doctor: The New Kid must pretend to be a member of staff at the abortion clinic whilst dressing up as a girl. The girls' request them to find out who the 'two faced bitch' is so that they will join forces with the boys. Whilst at the abortion clinic, they have to perform an abortion to prove that he is an official member of staff, and successfully do so, albeit on a man.

Fake Identity: In order to breach the Kingdom of the North (Canada) to decipher the abortion clinic records, The New Kid is told by Cartman to assume another identity, Larry Bobinski from Cleveland. This was mostly Cartman's fault, because he came up with the idea in the first place and gave The New Kid their new passport containing false information.

Murder: New Kid and the boys kill many Nazi zombies in the game, one of them being Chef, who was brought back to life by Clyde to kill Cartman and his gang (New Kid, Stan, Butters, Kyle, Jimmy and Kenny). However, it is technically self-defense because the zombies attack first. They may also kill the bishop of Banff at the request of the Prince of Canada, however whether or not they do is up to the player.

Assault: The New Kid gets in numerous fights and can hit people in general.

Thievery: The New Kid loots items from various locations and individuals.

Vandalism: Over the course of the game, New Kid can repeatedly break things like newspapers, dispensers, and parking meters to get money.

Grounded Moments
The New Kid is grounded only if they don't stop the Hallway Monitor boss from calling their parents, stay in the Lost Forest too long, or if they stay away from home after their parents tell them to come home. It only ever lasts briefly though.

Classes
In South Park: The Stick of Truth, four classes are available for The New Kid (the player) to play as. Each class has different abilities and a different attire. Additionally, the players skin tone can provide extra dialogue based on the chosen class. For example, a New Kid with the lightest available skin tone can hear "A white fighter? Haven't seen a good one of those in a while..." when selecting Fighter or "A white thief? Never heard of one, but interesting." when selecting thief.
 * Fighter - The Fighter focuses on being able to take damage as well as deal it out. When selected, Cartman says, "A fighter has courage, honor, and the ability to kick fucking ass."
 * Mage - The Mage focuses on high-damaging PP moves and combos. When selected, Cartman says, "A mage is like a wizard only not as cool."
 * Thief - The Thief focuses on dealing high damage and bleeding to individual targets. When selected, Cartman says, "You look sneaky enough to be a thief."
 * Jew - The Jew focuses on debuffing status effects and gaining strength as he loses health. When selected, Cartman says, "Jew, huh? So I guess we'll never really be friends."

Appearance
The New Kid's appearance is entirely decided by the player, and will vary greatly. The skin tone of their parents will match the skin tone picked by the player during the initial creation. If their skin tone changes, their parents' will change along with it.

South Park: The Stick of Truth
The New Kid is mute and voiceless in The Stick of Truth, and displays little emotion. They usually have a blank expression on their face, and have only ever spoken once, a single line at the end of the game. This broad portrayal of the character is meant to keep their personality indecisive, and unknown, in order to fit it under an umbrella of the possible personalities the player will want to come up with for them. Cartman and others occasionally note that The New Kid is quick to make friends on Facebook.

On a few occasions The New Kid use facial expressions to get their feelings on a situation across, such as when Butters heals them during combat, or when they use the toilet. The New Kid has an amazing capability to make friends quickly. In fact, it is revealed near the end of the game that before the age of 5, The New Kid had 3.2 billion friends on Facebook alone. Their seemingly unsocial attitude is meant to be subjective, and leaves the New Kid's true thoughts and feelings up to the player to decide.

The New Kid will sometimes take the role of Cartman's messenger; instead of speaking, they’ll simply hand over a note that will contain the information the receiver needs. Most other characters find their blank expression and their resistance to speak to be a nuisance, but others would disagree. Bebe Stevens called it 'hot', and Randy viewed it as modest.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole
In South Park: The Fractured But Whole, the New Kid has more expressions that leaves the door open for more creativity and speculation on the personality the player chooses for them, making their character more rounded, but more indefinite.

The rate of their facial expressions has greatly increased. In battles where they take damage and are affected by status effects, they still react like before. They also show other emotions such as complacency, concentration or focus when carrying out attacks, and they now smile every time when targeted by a healing ability. However these expressions in battle are the same for every character.

In the main storyline, The New Kid looks presumably shocked and afraid in many terrifying scenes, however their feelings remain subjective all throughout the game, even when performing tasks, such as handing the "special drink" to DJ Hippo. The only major occasions where the New Kid has a clear, definitive moment of expression, is when they’re eating dinner. The New Kid seems depressed in those moments, however, the reason for their feelings of melancholy are left undisclosed, and left to the player to once again decide.

The New Kid is shown having an even greater attachment to social life compared to the previous game, they spend more time on their phone as well. Later in the game, the New Kid is forced to choose to sacrifice one of their parents to get the Freedom Pals out of the Genetics Lab. This decision is up to the player, and effectively, and morbidly, shows which parent the New Kid prefers.

The New Kid also shows their ignorance of the people of South Park, and may be quite naive about the people in the town, probably due to only recently moving in, and the fact that they are strictly forbidden to wander around the streets after the sun goes down.

They also showed his act of rebellion against their parents, while obeying their orders before, they now defy their command and rejects their advice. They even developed the ability to become "ungroundable", and the power to unground other kids.

While seemingly normal in most cases, the New Kid has an undeniably ruthless attraction to catastrophic situations. They witness the death, mutilation, and several other unfortunate fates of many of the characters, and was even forced to murder one of their parents to get the Freedom Pals to safety.

Making Friends
The New Kid's most notable talent is their capability to make friends super easy and fast on any social network, for example Facebook. To their friends' surprise, they once had 3.2 billions friends on Facebook. The government wanted their amazing ability to make friends for themselves, but New Kid and their parents moved away in order to start a new life, not wanting any unnecessary attention.

Combat
They also have quite a talent for fighting, as Scott Malkinson said, "Yeah, the New Kid may be a douchebag but he sure can fight!"

Magics
Another notable talent are their farts. Cartman teaches them the most basic farting ability, Dragon Shout, and tells them to never fart on someone's balls. He later teaches them how to "cup-a-spell" and reminds them not to fart on someone's balls. Randy teaches The New Kid a more complex farting ability, The Sneaky Squeaker, again telling New Kid to never fart on a man's balls. They are later taught the most powerful farting move, Nagasaki, by Terrance and Phillip (who don't forget to remind them to never ever fart on a man's balls), and they get them to practice his newly learnt Nagasaki on three pedophiles.

TimeFarts
The New Kid's farts went to another level in The Fractured But Whole, capable of manipulating space-time continum. They acquired their first ability, TimeFart Glitch, from eating an Enchirito, and later acquired their second ability, TimeFart Pause, from eating the Cheesy Shrimparito. Later, to get inside the gate of South Park Genetic Engineering Ranch, the New Kid manages to acquire TimeFart Shift by farting into a powered AC fan. Finally, they ate the ultimate "Seven Layer Quesarrito Chipotle Beefy Nacho Supreme"and gained the ability TimeFart Leap.

Outside of the story, The New Kid can optionally acquire TimeFart Summon by consuming the Chocolate Memberrito.

Minor Powers

 * Bitch Slap: The New Kid manages to use their bitch slaps to charm two women belonging to another pimp in "The Big Beatdown".
 * Musics: During "The Samaritan Agenda", the New Kid can play mandolin very well, even developing a new way to blow flugelhorns.
 * Finance/Gamble: The New Kid played the investing game in "Always Bet on Chaos" and gained the access to a $80,000 loan for Professor Chaos.
 * Anti-grounding: The New Kid can defy the grounding orders from Stephen Stotch, and is even capable of ungrounding other kids.
 * Disguise and Cosmetics: As seen in the games, the New Kid can customize their appearance however they like, and their disguise as a superhero can fool almost every person in town.
 * Crafting: As an in-game mechanic, the New Kid can craft many items with their hands.
 * Swimming: The New Kid can swim very well, as shown in "From Dusk till Casa Bonita".
 * Academics: As shown in the scanning process of the buddy abilities, various equations can be seen, including ones for Areodynamics, Kinematics, even relativity.

Father
The New Kid's father, Chris, seems to be a good, concerned parent, though he often pressures The New Kid to go out, more so than The New Kid's mother, and make some friends, 'like a normal kid'. When The New Kid hangs around the house, it irritates their father and he practically kicks them out the house. He seems to be particularly irritated by his child's mute nature; on one occasion, he even tries to bribe them into speaking, which doesn't come to fruition. It is revealed in South Park: The Fractured But Whole that he has been addicted to cannabis for a long time.

Mother
The New Kid's mother, Kelly, seems to be a lot softer than their father. Though she encourages The New Kid to go outside and socialize, she does hand them some money and warns them to come back before it gets dark. Unlike their father, The New Kid's mother does not seem to be particularly irritated by The New Kid's mute nature. In correspondence to her husband's drug abuse, she is an addict for drinking.

Paladin Butters the Merciful/Professor Chaos
Butters is the first character The New Kid can befriend in the game. He fights alongside The New Kid in the beginning. The New Kid smiles whenever Butters uses healing touch on them seemingly showing friendship.

Princess Kenny/Mysterion
Princess Kenny is the second character made available to fight alongside The New Kid, after Butters. After The New Kid finds a flower for Kenny, they become friends. However, later on in the game, she betrays them and the others by taking the stick of truth for herself, becoming extremely powerful in the process. In order to stop her, Eric reluctantly tells The New Kid that they must break the oath they made, which was to never fart on someone's balls, and by doing so, The New Kid manages to stop Kenny.

Stan Marshwalker the Great/Toolshed
Stan is the third character made available to fight alongside The New Kid, after Butters and Kenny. When The New Kid is captured by the elves and ordered to recruit the goths by the King of Elves, Kyle, him and Stan try to convince the New Kid that Eric is using him to his advantage. Stan seems to respect and trust the New Kid, as the king does, especially when New Kid helps Stan retrieve his iPhone from the 'She-Ogre', who is his sister, Shelly.

Le Bard Jimmy/Fastpass
Jimmy is the fourth character made available to fight alongside The New Kid, after Butters, Kenny, and Stan. The New Kid first meets Jimmy in their search of the Bard, who is Jimmy. The New Kid and Jimmy are not shown together much, but seem to get along fairly well.

High Jew Elf Kyle/Human Kite
Kyle is the fifth character made available to fight alongside The New Kid, after Butters, Kenny, Stan and Jimmy. Kyle and Stan try to convince The New Kid that Cartman is simply using The New Kid for his own benefit, and Kyle tells them to recruit the goths and bring the goths to him instead of Cartman. Kyle says that he is trusting The New Kid to do what is right, and if they perform an act of betrayal, he will tell everyone that The New Kid is a "butthole".

Eric Cartman
Eric is the sixth character made available to fight alongside The New Kid, after Butters, Kenny, Stan, Jimmy and Kyle. Being the Wizard King, Eric welcomes the New Kid into his game, and does not seem to harbor any ill will for the New Kid. He even teaches The New Kid a special ability called Dragon Shout, where the Dragon Shout user releases an extremely powerful fart. Cartman frequently tells The New Kid to never fart on somebody's balls time and time again, as an oath.

Randy Marsh
The New Kid befriends Randy when they are abducted by Visitors, and is almost probed, but New Kid uses the Dragon Shout ability that Eric taught them in order to avoid being probed. Randy then asks them if this was their first time being probed, and tells them that they have an incredible control of his asshole. Later, The New Kid saves Randy from the aliens and Randy says to consider him a friend. After the incident, The New Kid and Randy encounter each other several times in South Park. Randy decides to assist The New Kid by improving their farting skills, and teaches them a farting ability called 'The Sneaky Squeaker'. When New Kid successfully learns this by practicing on Mr. Mackey, Randy tells them to sneak inside Taco Bell and see what they're up to in there, by using the newly learned ability he just taught them, and then report back to him. When Randy is encountered by The New Kid again near the end of the game, he greets them by saying, "It's my favorite kid" right as he runs past his son, Stan. Like Cartman, Randy warns The New Kid to never fart on anyone's balls.

Annie Knitts
The New Kid saves Annie from a group of three bully girls, who took her Justin Bieber doll and taunted her with it. After they chase away the three bullies, Annie thanks them and they become friends. Later in the game, when The New Kid needs to recruit girls, they go to Annie first.

Monica Ryland
In order to recruit the girls to join his team, The New Kid has to fulfill Wendy's request to assume the role of Bebe's boyfriend from Lakewood, and ask Monica Ryland what the best thing to get for Bebe's birthday would be, to see if Monica is a two-faced bitch or not. When the two meet, Monica tells The New Kid that Bebe is a little two-faced, and then says she read a lot of his Facebook profile and that she thinks they're a really interesting boy, which leads to Wendy, Bebe, and Red confronting her with accusations. They bring Monica's boyfriend, Jake, to her for payback, but when Monica runs away, Jake says to The New Kid, "Whats the big idea trying to fuck my girlfriend?" This leads to The New Kid and Jake fighting. After that, Monica apologizes to The New Kid about Jake flipping out and tells them she'd still love to be friends. It turns out she wasn't the one who was spreading rumors about Allie Nelson going to the abortion clinic.

Security Guard
When The New Kid attempts to get past the security guard to Token's house, the security guard is not hesitant to pepper spray New Kid in the face. But when they encounter for the second time, The New Kid wears a gas mask and must fight the security guard to get through the gate. After New Kid's victory, whenever the security guard sees them again, the guard always says that he can't look at New Kid without feelings of deep personal shame.

Trivia

 * Dovahkiin is a reference to the playable protagonist of the 2011 video game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. "Dovahkiin" translates to "Dragonborn". Skyrim was developed and published by Bethesda. A previous promotion for Skyrim had Bethesda offering free Bethesda games for life if someone named their child "Dovahkiin", and New Kid's name is likely due to this.
 * According to the description in the "Tech" component, The New Kid sleeps through science classes.
