I have other couple questions hope is fine lol. Is your Boris based in Tom or the "cartoon Boris"? And what inspired you in each design?
This one will be a minor tricky one since I’ll will release more of his own background. But your question and I’ll answer.
Tada! He’s actually both!
Back when the Joey Drew studios was at its all time high with their new created performer and singer, Bendy the Dancing Demon, they thought it was a perfect idea that he would have a best pal to star with.
That’s how Buddy Boris was created! Both star in mini films, songs and even plays on paper!
He was a lazy but good guy who just listened to what anyone really said because his brain is just— not there lol. But he was a loyal brainwashed cartoon in the studios, Bendy even wanted to play around with him in their early days but Boris was too “uninterested” only to listen to his creators commands in the studio.
But there was something lurking in the shadows the their creators department, something about Joey asking Henry to create more cartoons is just not a simple thing to do. There was tons of work to do before an actual cartoon character comes to life.
Joey Drew, he knew what he was doing the moment he brought Bendy the Dancing Demon to life. Physically moving, touching and feeling, speaking and thinking.
But it wasn’t fair for Boris, his was a little bit more difficult.
Since Bendy already had feelings and was already sentient enough to not need a soul. Boris was somewhat braindead and had zero thoughts or emotions whatsoever.
So Joey thought of a wonderful volunteer victim for his twisted fantasy, Thomas Conner.
Tom was tricked into believing this wouldn’t do any harm to the workers of the department but oh he was wrong. Tricked like a fool into giving his soul away to his insane invention to have the inky creatures come to life.
With the experience he has sadly endured, he has also seen everything the actual toon has been through, all the psychological trauma made him realize that the studio is one big fraud stack.
Using all his might, he and Bendy secretly ran away as far as their cartoon legs could run away from it all, away from the pain, away from the lies.
And it was now in Boris’s honor to protect and defend Bendy at any cost.
He was the only one the demon had in the entire world, of course he needed to stick by his side.
Bendy actually knows who he really is and felt like it was unjustified that Joey had to even do that to Tom.
But to keep his head down of his past, he went with Boris and reworked his last name to Conel.
And the designs is by other AU characteristics and their year I based them all in the story! Even their occupations!
Keep those questions coming everyone!!!
