Rudolph Bartholomew "Rudy" Tabootie is the lead male character from ChalkZone.

Biography:

Rudy Tabootie - 8 years old

Rudy Tabootie - Season 4

This young daydreamer and artist made his introduction in the very first ChalkZone short featured on Oh Yeah! Cartoons (later shown on the regular series as "Rudy's First Adventure").

In the short, Reggie Bullnerd stole his lunch money, so Rudy retaliated by going up to the chalkboard and drawing his ideal superhero, Snap, fighting Bully Nerd, a monster caricature of Reggie. Unfortunately, this got him in trouble with his teacher, Mr. Wilter, who punished him by making him write "Cartoons are not funny" 500 times on the chalkboard after school.

As he was writing the sentences, using a piece of White Lightning brand chalk, Rudy discovered a portal to ChalkZone, where all chalk drawings went after they were erased, Rudy's among them. It was in ChalkZone that Rudy helped Snap fight off Bully Nerd.

Rudy appeared again in another short featured later in Oh Yeah!'s first season, titled "The Amazin' River", where he and Snap tangled with a clumsy Cyclops who guarded the Magic Chalk Mines, whom Rudy wound up drawing another eye onto. In the first two shorts, Rudy is 10 years old and 8 years old, respectively.

Rudy's next appearance was at the start of the show's second season, in the short "Rudy's Date", which introduced his best friend, Penny Sanchez. In this short, Snap reluctantly helped Rudy and Penny retrieve the pieces of her scientific formula which Reggie had erased. Starting with this short, though, Rudy's appearance changed so that he looked older, as he was now 10.

When ChalkZone became a regular series, the first two shorts were later featured as flashbacks. According to "Rudy's First Adventure", the episodes shown in the flashbacks occurred 2 years earlier, so Actor Rudy aged about two years between "Amazin' River" and "Rudy's Date". Throughout those 2 years, Rudy has improved a lot in his drawing skills to the point of being able to create almost anything in a short time, especially during quick-thinking situations.

In the episode "French Fry Falls", Rudy, Snap, and Penny crossed paths with the now two-eyed Cyclops from "Amazin' River", who would later be called Biclops. Thankful to Rudy for improving his vision, Biclops entitled him to let him have all the Magic Chalk he wanted.

Rudy is quite an adventurer in ChalkZone, battling monsters, saving people from trouble, drawing up a storm, and dreaming up schemes left and right. Other characters important to Rudy include ChalkZone friends like Blocky (which he drew in the first grade), Chalk Dad, (a caricature of his father, Joe) and Queen Rapsheeba, who is Snap's love interest. He has also made enemies with such beings as Skrawl & the Beanie Boys, the Craniacs, and Vinnie Raton.

Personality:

Rudy is creative, level-headed and kind. He is also a pacifist. He is shy and a dreamer yet shown as quite brave.

Appearance:

Rudy is an 10 year old American boy. He has brown cowlick hair, pale skin, two buck teeth, a pointy nose, and dot green eyes for pupils. In the first two Oh Yeah Cartoons! shorts, he wears a green sweater with a white collar, brown shorts, and basic black shoes. Starting with Rudy's Date and all throughout the Chalkzone series until season 4, he wears a two-tone dark and light moss green polo shirt, with a dark green circle design, greenish-brown tight shorts, and dark-green/gray sneakers. In Season 4, he wears a simpler light green T-shirt with a pocket on the right, and longer brownish-green pants. He still gets to keep his sneakers.

• In the episode "Skrawl’s Brain," Rudy is ambidextrous.
• Rudy makes a cameo appearance as a collectible master model in Nicktoons: The Attack of the Toybots for the Nintendo Wii version of the game. However he did not appear the Game Boy Advance version because his cameo appearance as master model was replaced by Penny.
