Description
I figured it was about time I update the References of my characters, they were three years out of date (2012). This time around, things are going to be a bit simplified even further so that backstory will be a little easier.Also, Gar is now technically what I call a KatlonΒ (from his own world). But for simplicity's sake to fit in with the StH Universe (because that is where he currently resides), he can be commonly classified as a "cat".Β
The previous references may go into Scraps eventually.

Good to see a new reference! Golly, mine are old, I need to redo them :/
Interesting to see how he's diversifying more and more with what information we have. Looking great so far!

Yeah, I needed to have a backdoor for him in case I wanted to use him in other things.

Fair enough. Been there myself.

Oh, he still has a ways to go before even I can say that.Β

Well, I really love Gar a lot. I wish I had a picture together with him actually.

Always loved Gar, he's as awesome as he is adorable!
Anybody ever tell him that though...? They should. He really is!

Gotta love that story. It actually sounds like he could be a legit Sonic character.

Ehh, I had those intentions when I made him, but now I don't think he could pass for one. Looks-wise, yes. But as far as fitting in... not really.Β

I think he'd be the oddball of the group in a sense.

Even so, I don't think he'd truly be able to fit in. Neither of my main three would.
My characters are in the "FC-by-looks-alone" camp; what I call the "true" FCs (of any series) are ones who would be able to comply with the series itself; filling in all the check boxes when it comes to adaptation based on the nature of the series. With the right alterations, he could possibly make it as a true FC, but I don't plan to do that anytime soon.

Oh I see what you mean. Yeah, true.
In my personal opinion however, I actually like FCs like this that stand out and think outside the box. Sometimes when others may make an FC that oblige to all the world's rules, it feels like they're trying too hard, again in my opinion. That's why I really like yours. ;u;
It's rare for me to enjoy FCs at all, really, most of the time, because I prefer to stick to canon. So me liking yours has gotta say something. XD
And not just because you're my best friend's bro pft.

Nice refrence Wisp, he's been needing a new one for a while.
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed. The old ones look really ugly now.

But they are all still glompable and cuddly looking :3

It's nice to see an up to date reference of Gar again, even though this one is cut down to a much simpler state, compared to the previous references that you have made in the past years. Can't wait to see refs of your other guys too!
So he's technically not even from Mobius, but from another world?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes.Β
It's a way I can flesh out backstories without having to be confined to the limitations of an already-established universe. Plus it gives me a backup world should I decide to distribute him further outside of the Internet (with an appearance change, of course).Β

Ah, I see. Pretty interesting!Β
And since he was born in wealth, he is what you would call "Old Money". It's a term from The Great Gatsby meaning someone who has inherited money through generations of an upper-class family.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I know.
Unlike Gatsby, though (as far as I remember, Gar's family has gotten their money through less...pleasant ways. That's all I will say on the matter for the moment.
π: 0 β©: 1
I see. Well, in the book, Gatsby got his money illegally by bootlegging, which is a crime of itself. To me, that doesn't sound so pleasant either.

He's always been named Gareth. "Gar" is a nickname I commonly use.
π: 0 β©: 0
So, Gar's species now officially qualifies as 'non-Mobian'? Interesting choice.
Does that make Snakey's ring an alien artifact, then?
π: 0 β©: 1
Until I see the term used in the official games, I try to avoid "Mobius" or "Mobians".Β
Anyways, in a way, yes. The rings could be classifed as "alien artifacts", I suppose.
π: 0 β©: 1
Understandable. Either way, it *does* add a bit of fantasy/sci-fi flavor to your little universe. I like it! Mayhaps we'll be able to hear more about these Katlonians and their origins in the future?
