Meet Galo ! The character I usually envision when I play any sort of dating sim or graphic novel game. He spawned in my head the first time I played BTD2 and has. not. left. I haven't drawn him until now, so a full body ref will most likely come soon !
Feel free to read more under the cut for ramblings about him !
Galo is a rabbit beastkin, but more specifically a lionhead rabbit ! He has a lot of rabbit like qualities, especially ones pertaining to his breed. This includes long, messy hair and facial hair. He doesn't like how his hair gets in his face, but he's too lazy to go out and get it cut so he usually puts it in a low ponytail.
Galo has deep masculinity issues where he believes he isn't man enough due to being a rabbit. So, in turn, he despises the fact that he's a rabbit.
He very rarely bathes- It's the incel in him. He despises taking showers so much, but he's also embarrassed of the fact that he doesn't shower. So whenever he goes out, he always makes sure to shower. However, this embarrassment doesn't make him shower regularly.
The only part of himself that's ever cleaned regularly is his face- Due to his breed of rabbit, he's able to grow lots of facial hair really fast. But he doesn't like having facial hair, so he shaves whenever it begins to grow in.
His natural hair color is a deep brown getting closer to black, but he tends to dye it different shades of blue.
Reddit incel ! Little shit has a terrible case of incel disease. He's been both a discord moderator and a discord kitten. It's terrible.
As said before, he has a deep-rooted issue with his own masculinity. He feels like he isn't man enough but he also hasn't bothered to try and present himself more masculine. It's just constant complaining online about how he wished he was more of a man and how being a rabbit makes him more weak and docile. More feminine. He'd much prefer to be only human. But if he had to be beast kin, he'd like to be a wolf or something much cooler, thank you very much !
Galo is meant to be a character that represents the MC, so while he has his own personality, beliefs, and ideals- He'd fit into just about any mold you'd need for an MC. In the case of both BTD games as well as TPOF, he can fit into both roles- Victim and aggressor.
He is Ren route specific ! Of course lmao
Because he can be both a victim and aggressor, I tend to think about him in both circumstances for the MC. He could experience being Rens pet, or he could experience having Ren as a pet. He could also be killed by Ren or kill Ren himself. Its very much varied.
If I had to pick the endings that would for him, it would be these:
"You helped Ren", "You let Ren take care of you", "It's not so bad", and "You'll replace Ren's scars."
Although, nothing is set and stone specific. Literally anything works for Galo.
Galo can so easily fall into the role of a victim because he's pathetic. It genuinely doesn't take much to just. Make him a victim, mentally or physically. But he can fall into the role of an aggressor if pushed hard enough- He'll snap eventually and attempt to gain control of a situation.
Funnily enough, no matter what ending, Galo begins to bathe himself daily after he starts living with Ren. His terrible hygiene is still a deep insecurity and embarrassment, so he gets better about it when he's forced to subject it to someone else.
Some smaller things:
Galo's full name is Galo Pérez. He's Mexican but grew up in America- He's bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish, but he mainly speaks English unless speaking with family.
He/Him and bisexual with a heavy female preference.
He's about 5'8 (something he's terribly proud of.)
Existing within my own little ocverse, he continues to be a grimy little incel. He doesn't make any friends nor does he end up getting a partner. It's a sad and terrible life, but for the most part he's accepted it.
I have so much more about him that I can't fit in this post, so this is about it for now,,,
