Background/Story: ⚠︎⚠︎ TW: D3ath, Horror ⚠︎⚠︎ This is not fully fleshed out at all yet, I'm sort of coming up with this on the spot, so bear with me :') Here's what I'm thinking: Basically, these animals, such as TiPPY, are created to be friends and protectors of children. There's this company that makes them all. So there's this thing where once a child gets their own animal friend, they kind of gain this spiritual bond, almost, and it deepens their relationship, and it makes it a lot easier for the animal to help the child, know how they're feeling, etc. So Tippy here (his official "product" name is TiPPY, but I'll just be using Tippy) got bonded with a child like any other animal friend thing. But then something really bad happened. A horrible accident that ended in the child's d3ath. Tippy wasn't there when it happened, but basically he sensed something wrong and went to try to help. When he arrived, though, it was already too late to save the child. The child, during their last moments, got extremely angry at Tippy for not doing more, for not being there for them when it really counted, when they needed him. The child went a little feral and basically traumatized Tippy with guilt, insulting and shaming him. In that moment, something was created from the child's fury, and when they finally died, the bond between them and Tippy was twisted into the corrupted heart you see on him in the drawing. The corrupted heart is basically the embodiment of the child's hate and anger and fear, sort of along with the embodiment of Tippy's guilt, all into one physical form. Tippy was immediately removed from the public and any future bonds with children, and sent to an area of the company's facility that housed all the defects and malfunctioned "products". And they kept him there for the indefinite future. After the child's death, the corrupted heart would take control of Tippy at seemingly random times, but especially when Tippy would get overcome with guilt or self-deprecation or when he would get depressed. ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── Okay well there's a backstory, might actually do more with this since this is actually a vibe and has potential for more characters :O ────── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────── Art: Design:
